birthdays, riots, and country music

Well guys, I'm just not in the mood to blog tonight. I'm swamped this week. I have two tests and an essay to get done, and I'm sick. I didn't really want to show up here today, but I feel bad when I do that (ugh why do I do that), so here I am. Being sick really sucks. I have a damn river flowing out of my nose and my head feels like it's been ripped apart by one of those freaky contraptions from a Saw movie. Speaking of the Saw movies….honestly, what's the point of making the creepy dude ride the little bike? So dumb. Anyway, today I thought I would just leave you with some fun things to look at.

PS- tomorrow is DJ's birthday!! Woo hoo. So in celebration, you can head over here and use the code "HAPPYBIRTHDAY" for a discount on any ad! :)

So, If you haven't heard (but I'm sure you have) UofA lost on Saturday to Wisconsin. So naturally, what do the students/creepy people of Tucson do? Oh yeah, of course- they start a riot. Apparently it got pretty crazy, and you can read about it here. But basically people started going crazy and there were a shit ton of cops with pepper spray (which my roommate had to ride her bike through lololol) and when we drove by, the cops had made like a cute little human barricade blocking the street. Oh, and I guess they were beating people up, too. #GoCats

On a happier note, I'm obsessing over Scotty McCreery right now. His voice….ugh! I love. This one's my favorite

I'm in the process of signing up for my GMAT and applying to grad school which is freaking crazy exciting and stressful. Oh, and expensive. I can't believe how ridiculously expensive it is to take the test and apply to school. Ugh. So since I have to start saving big time, I'm giving up Starbucks. Which is a big deal because I usually drink it like every day. But that shit's expensive! It's been like a week now and I'm having withdrawals so if someone wants to send me a gift card or personally deliver an iced soy chai to me that would rock.

So, thats all thats now over here in Briannaland. What's new with you?

okay but what is this post even about

Today, my econ class was supposed to meet in a different classroom. I was walking around campus aimlessly because I had to clue where this building was, and I ended up missing class which I was obviously so sad about. This is really irrelevant to the story, but anyways while I was walking around I called Dj. (Have you noticed I use his name more than 'Handsome' now? Its so much quicker to type) He answered and sounded so happy. We talked about random shiz and I had the biggest smile on my face the whole time. Then I just had this huge realization. I was looking around at this beautiful campus, drinking the best iced soy chai latte ever, talking to my best friend on the phone. I realized how lucky I am and that I've been taking it for granted.

I've been a little down lately and I didn't even realize it until today, if that makes sense. I just had this overwhelming realization that I have it so good right now. Sure, I'm away from the one person who I really want to be with, but other than that, life is really perfect. I have someone who makes me the happiest girl in the world even though he's so far away, I have the best roommates, I have a Starbucks gold card (oops I'm addicted I had to throw that in there) and I go to a beautiful school…for free.

I don't know what my future holds, but I know it can only get better from here. I'm so young and I have so much of my life ahead of me. I can literally do anything, right? That's such a scary though. But its so exciting and comforting because I literally have no clue what I want to do. Right now I'm thinking I'll get my MBA, but last week I was going to get my PhD in Neuropsychology so we'll see how I feel next week. Maybe I'll want to be an astronaut or something. This year I'll graduate in December (fingers crossed), move in with my handsome boyfriend, GET A PUPPY, and drink a ton of Starbucks. How exciting is that?! I just have so much to look forward to and I'm so excited about it.

Where is this post even going? I literally have no clue. I've just been so out of it lately when it comes to blogging, and I felt like I needed to give you an update on where I'm at in my little scatterbrained head. I feel like I haven't even posted a decent post in like two weeks. I've been so busy and I haven't been motivated at all. But today I just felt better about everything. Including the blog. I've worked really hard to get it where it's at today. I've become so dedicated, and I can't stop that now. I'm so glad I have some time this week to settle down and get excited about blogging again. But just a warning, that might mean  a new design. Yolo. I think it'll help me get motivated to blog.

I only have about two weeks until I get to see Dj and I seriously can't wait. I've been in a funk the past couple of days. It always happens about a month and a half into us not seeing each other. I get so sad and I just want to jump on a plane and see him ASAP. But seriously, two weeks is nothing. I'm done feeling sorry for myself. My roommate has this new boyfriend (who's also in the Air Force) and they're so cute and perfect so I'm just living vicariously through them for the next two weeks. We want to go on a double date so I'm trying to get a life-size cardboard cutout of Dj or something so he can be there. Creepy? Probably.

So basically, you're welcome for a post about nothing except a big dump of my feelings. I'll get better at finding things to blog about, I promise. And if anyone knows where I can get that cutout let me know ;) Happy hump day!

20 random things you don't know about me

All I've pretty much told you so far is that I'm in love with my boyfriend, I love to craft, and I eat a lot. So I thought it would be fun to tell you a bunch of random facts about myself that aren't important...at all one I'm really really really afraid of the dark two I'm also really really afraid of crickets...don't ask three I'm not only in a long distance relationship with my handsome man, but also with my two best friends who go to school in California and Ohio.

four It's only my third semester of college and I've already changed my major like six times. I started as a physiology major, then switched to nursing, nutrition, neuroscience, and now I'm sticking with psychology- even though I really wish I could switch to early childhood education. five I have a constant supply of homemade guacamole in my fridge six I'm obsessed with In-N-Out burger. I could easily eat it every day. seven I also worked there in high school eight I'm also obsessed with Starbucks. Last year I had a $100 gift card that lasted me about two months. Iced soy white mocha anyone?! Yes please.  nine I hate cats. Definitely a dog person. ten My favorite movie ever is Bridesmaids. My best friends and I have seen it literally 500 times and we know every word. Literally every. single. word. eleven I don't like college. I just want to be done already. twelve I used to have a bowl cut and harry potter glasses. My friend posted this picture of me on Instagram a while ago. Awesome, thanks.

thirteen I'm afraid of the ocean. I'll go in it, but when I do I'm sure I'm going to get attacked by a shark. I went through a Jaws phase and haven't been the same since!

fourteen I'm addicted to my phone. I don't go anywhere without it. I know, that's bad. But I need it to talk to my handsome man!

fifteen I love the holidays. I wish it was Christmas time all year long. 

sixteen I hate living in Arizona. I've been here my whole life. It's way too hot and Phoenix is too big. I can't wait to move to Montana and be with my handsome man so I can wear cute winter clothes!

seventeen I want to live and raise our family in a small town.

eighteen I think everything tastes better when it's in a mason jar :)

nineteen I've almost completed my minor in Spanish and I can't hold a conversation to save my life. I really want to go to Spain someday and get some practice :) Hopefully Dj and I can make it back to Europe someday. I'd love that.

Europe is so pretty:)

twenty I never thought about blogging until I had the spontaneous idea to make this one last month. It's been amazing so far and I can't wait to share all of my experiences on here. From my life now, to when I get engaged and married, and when I have sweet little babies- I'm so excited to have this creative way of documenting it.
