Going, going, gone.

It's April 19th and as all my CreComm friends know, that means that we are a week away from being officially done with the first year of CreComm.

All that's left is a meeting with our IPP advisor and then we'll be on our way to make some serious (and seriously needed) money and living at the beach on the weekend - well I will be anyway.

This year was different than what I thought it would be, but it was also a lot better than I thought it would be. It's been a big year and a busy year, but I actually feel like I've actually accomplished something, which I didn't always feel after a year of university.

I met some great people and made some even better firneds. I'm planning a small raod trip with a couple girls from both my semester one and two class and I'm so stoked - we're going to have such a great time!

I'm not nearly as nervous to go into second year CreComm as I was earlier this year. I feel prepared and sometimes I even get excited when I think about it. Today I can't wait to start, but I think I can manage waiting for the next 4 months.

I'm so happy with the way this year turned out. I have great marks in all my classes (and on all of my exams, I hope), I'm one university course away from being a university graduate, I have an amazing family, fantastic boyfriend, great friends, and the cutest darn dog any girl could ever ask for. I feel so special and happy about everything and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I feel for the first time ever that I'm on the right track. I'm so excited to see what next year has to offer and am very excited to spend my summer worry-free.

Cheers to all the CreComms who made it through a nerve-wrecking, but wonderful first year.

Easter eggs

Hi guys,

This is a bit of a late post, but I just had to show people what I did. 

Every year my parents put on Easter dinner at our house. It's always a good time, but it is a stressful day. Any sort of dinner party or party in general is always a stressful time. But Easter is a big one, and in a family of people who want everything to be perfect, it's just that much more stressful. 

Anyway, this year I wanted to contribute to the dinner for the first time in couple years and I found this idea on Pinterest. It's devilled Easter eggs! My mom and I made them the day before and they turn out so well (and were SO tasty)! 

Here's the picture I took (in order) in case you ever want to try them for yourself!

Mmmmmm! So good! 

Have a great week and weekend!

Cryer

UGH!

I've always been a bit of a push over. Always.

I don't remember a time when I wasn't. In elementary I was bullied by girls so badly that to this day I have vivid memories of sitting at my little desk with my little head in my little hands and crying in front of everyone.

That was why I was bullied. I was a cryer.

I didn't cry over everything, but when someone was being mean I just couldn't control myself. I would get so upset and instantly cry.

I hate that about myself. I always have. I used to fight with my parents and I would be furious about something (probably being told to do something I didn't want to) and just wanted to show them how 'grown up' and 'mature' I was by standing my ground and not cry, but it never worked. I always cried (and I rarely won the fight).

These days I'm not really any different. I don't often fight with my parents, but when I do the second I get defensive or mad, I have to grind my teeth because the tears are coming.

I'm learning more and more now, as I grow up, that being overly sensitive and being a cryer is not something that will help me in this life. I don't want to be cynical and I definitely don't want to be a hard *ss, but I have to learn the healthy medium. It's hard. What is the healthy medium? How do you know?

I'm learning, very slowly.
