{take a minute}

you know when life seems so crazy, so busy, that no matter how many hours of sleep you lose every night or how hard you work you will never be able to get everything done? 

i feel like that a lot lately. 

but because i hate being stressed i tend to avoid it at all costs (and sometimes the costs are high).

and i think the best way to avoid it is just take a minute and do my own thing. 

like making jeff neglect his homework and play just dance with me

or looking on pinterest for just ten minutes. 

or reading a few of the 5,843,098 bachelor blogs out there.

or dancing around the house like a maniac.

or watching a quick episode of new girl (the only time i appreciate the measly 30 minutes)

or find a new favorite song on itunes.

or blog. 

i like those things. 

and i like this song that sometimes helps me through it.

{keeping calm}

you guys. i hate these things. like despise. you know, i first became acquainted with "keep calm and carry on" when i was living in london. because you know thats where it came from. and where it was actually used as a war poster to up the morale of the country. pretty cool. now it's mostly over used and completely annoying. 

but whatever. because everyone deserves to be a little hypocritical every now and then.

 and this is my life right now

every morning when i wake up and feel like crying because of the 20 credits {and two jobs} on my plate this semester i just have to focus on April 19th. 

and of course this overused mantra
