It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Recently, I have been getting the question, “What would you like for your birthday and Christmas this year?” My birthday is December 16, which is nine days away from Christmas. Therefore, my Christmas list just becomes a list for my birthday too. Growing up my family has been great about keeping both my birthday and Christmas separate. But the challenging part is creating a list of everything I could possibly want for the year, because I really only get one chance.

I have started my list, but still struggling to come up with enough items for my parents, grandparents and my boyfriend’s family. Here is what I have so far:

Bombas Socks - Only about the best socks ever! These socks are so comfortable and the company’s mission is ever better. For every pair purchased they donate a pair to someone in need. How cool is that?

Life Jacket - Call me crazy, but yes I would like a life jacket for Christmas. My boyfriend recently bought a boat with one of his friends and we went wakeboarding, water skiing and kneeboarding a lot this past summer. One problem, I don’t have a super comfortable and snug life jacket. Therefore, I decided why not put it on my birthday/Christmas list?

Starbucks Gift Cards - I am a HUGE fan of Starbucks and their rewards program. Anytime I see a Starbucks I almost always have to stop and grab an iced caramel latte. Last year I received almost $50 worth of gift cards for Starbucks. I was set for a long time!

These are just a few of the items on my list. What is on your Christmas list this year? Any other ideas for me?

    Did you ever get separate gifts for your birthday and Christmas or was it used as a way to combine the two?

    In your experience do you feel you get more or less presents due to the fact that your celebrations are so close together?

The End is Near

One of my first blog posts was about why I chose Ohio Northern University to be my home for the next four years of my life. I cannot believe that time has gone by so fast. I am not typically one to get very emotional, but there is something about leaving a large piece of you behind and moving on to the next thing. I decided to close out my final blog post with things that I took away from the year as I only have about a week left of my freshman year. Time Moves Faster Than You Think No matter how many pictures were taken, time will only continue forward and it seems to be moving faster. Before you know it college will simply be a small piece of your life with amazing memories that will last you a lifetime. Enjoy each moment while you have it, because time truly does go by fast. You Don’t Have To Be The Same Person You Were in High School Wow, this could not be any truer. This can be who you associate with, the type of grades you get and even clubs or organizations you join

Spring Has Sprung!

I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely LOVING this spring weather! I enjoy being able to open the window in my dorm to let in fresh air, go for walks around the green monster and of course being able to wear all my spring clothes that have been in the back of my closet for too long. Well the time is here! I decided I would share one of my favorite things to wear during the spring! Birkenstocks! Yes, I know they aren’t the most attractive pair of shoes, but they are actually VERY comfortable. Also, Birkenstock will repair your shoes if something is to happen to your beloved Birks or you have simply just worn-out certain parts of them. They are close to $100, but I think you can justify that price when you see all the great features and benefits that come with them. So, why wouldn’t you want a pair of sandals that are awesome for your feet versus your typical Old Navy black rubber flip flops? What is your favorite thing to wear in the spring? I wo

Joys of Being Home

Like many of you, I have been soaking in the sun and enjoying this great spring weather we have been having recently in Ohio. Coming from a small town, country background one of my favorite things to do is ride four-wheelers when the weather is nice. While spending this past weekend at home I was able to enjoy some much-needed time with family and friends. On Sunday I went with various friends back to the woods and creek. It was so great enjoying the fresh air and spending time with my friends that I hadn’t seen for a couple of weeks while being at school. I took for granted the relaxing atmosphere of my hometown while being at school. After being home I am so excited for spring to come and stay for good. Here are some pictures from the weekend! There are so many great things about being home. What are your favorite things to do when you visit home? I would love to hear what you do in your hometown.  I am a firm believer in where we come from shapes
