The astrological guide to chocolate-eating.
Read my horoscope today while eating my Valentine candy. I then came across this. It’s how all the signs enjoy their chocolate.
Aries doesn’t waste any time and eats all of the chocolates in one sitting.
Taurus tends to buy two boxes and leave only the orange and coffee cream ones for you.
Cancer stores the chocolates away and can make even the smallest box last for a month.

Motivating myself to work out...by myself
So, I was running yesterday and I suddenly got very lonely. The feeling continued as I stopped in the park to do the more intense part of my workout. It was a beautiful day, perfect weather, and I was feeling energetic. But I couldn’t seem to shake the feeling that I’d rather be working out with a group or at practice or something. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m still on...

Okay, stay with me here. I actually think any sort of recruitment process kind of bears a few resemblances to the whole process of a first date.
It starts with The Search.
This is kind of like working up the nerve to ask for his number. When you find what seems like a good catch, you go for it. If you’re lucky, you’ll get it and he’ll say, “Call me sometime.” And you feel awesome. Like, on...

So…I put on my workout gear to go for a run today, but before I put my shoes on, I went in the bathroom to throw my hair into a ponytail and pin back my bangs. Then…something strange came over me. I flicked on Spotify and decided to play a song to get myself PUMPED for my run. What ended up happening was kind of a blur, but it went something like this:
I took down my hair.
I shook...

HEY!
so, as you may or may not know, i moved to california. i was all set to move to atlanta with a friend, but it fell through when he got offered a different job in charleston. it happened kind of fast and the decision was a leeeettle impulsive. :) hence, i kind of failed at telling people before i left. anyway, there i was, in tennessee, thinking “welp, it’s now or...

ARANCIA
I don’t know if it’s just football season creeping back into my bloodstream or what, but lately my obsessions have had one thang in common: ORANGE! :)

Owning "What's Next?"
“So, what’s next?” someone asks.
“What’s next?!” is my hastened reply, every word firing out of my mouth like rogue beebees from a gun, “WHAT’S NEXT?! What’s next is that I’m going to punch you for even asking.”
…okay. That doesn’t happen. But it’s what happens in my head whenever someone asks me that these days. But really, no, I simply give my sweetly vague little answer, hoping ...

spinning out gracefully
i woke up with the sun this morning. after passing out at 11:30 post-wine tasting, i was really surprised to be as awake as i was at 6:07 AM. not like i’m all that impressed by waking up then after all the 4AM mornings i’ve had in my life, but, still, i opened my eyes and saw this sunrise:
i knew what i had to do: go running. i also knew that after several glasses of wine last night, i...
giving it another fry.
i could address why i haven’t been blogging for the last month.5 …but i have no real excuse. and this is the internet and clearly no one owes any explanations for the things they do or do not do on here (i’m looking at you, weiner)…so let’s get back into it!
i turned 22 on may 26th. that means i’m officially one year deep in “my decade”—a...

Watchplease enjoy the 4 hour solo dance party you’re about to have, courtesy of me (and whoever made this).
seawitchery:
I started out clicking strategically… and by the end was just wildly clicking and dancing in my chair.
biancavirina:
CLICK THE SQUARES.
THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.
THIS THIS THIS THIS!
i can see the floor!
i cleaned! everything! spent a huge chunk (4 freaking hours) of my afternoon on it. put away my sweaters and finally put the shorts on my shelf!
mom..aren’t you proud of me?
now i’m gross because it’s 86 degrees and all i have is a little measly fan and our A/C doesn’t work. was gonna go for a run but..i’m already sweaty and i was on my feet forever..so...
HEAVY.
what? an actual post!? go ahead and get your dramatic gasps out of the way because i have an hour and i’m down to write something for once.
in my quasi-absence from tumblr, over the past month and a half or so, i’ve been feeling heavy.
some reasons why:
-quite literally, i am way more dense. my boat has been lifting weights twice a week to put some bulk on us. heavy weight, low...

Despite his mild-mannered appearance, the seashell was getting pretty fed up with the starfish’s “there’s soap in my dish” victory dance and was quietly plotting his revenge.

i will post something meaningful here sometime this weekend! promise. :)

one of my very favorite poems ever. <3 i need some inspiration after yesterday.
i fell down the stairs this morning..
..and it woke up my sleeping roommate who had just happened to forget to set her alarm.
bad==>GOOD!
ANYWAY
i just want to take a sec to remind you all to eat breakfast today.
i don’t know how i got by in my life EVER skipping it.

“[With] my first step I felt lighter and looser than ever before. My shirt clung to me, and I felt like a skeleton flying down a wind tunnel. My times at the mile were so fast that I almost felt like I was cheating. It was like getting a new body that no one else had heard about. My mind was so crystal clear that I could have held a conversation. The only sensation was the rhythm and...
"older doesn't always mean wiser" -ba
i read that in story people (brian andreas) in my adolescence and i never forgot it. in fact, until i just googled it, i hadn’t looked at the print since i first saw it. still, growing up, i thought of these words VERY often.
here’s what’s up:
when i was younger, the quote read more like this to me: “older [than you] doesn’t always mean wiser [than...
today
was really weird. woke up early, worked out hard, devoted the rest of the day to schoolwork and crew team. didn’t treat myself very well today…i’ll try again tomorrow.
it was a really “get over yourself,” big slap-in-the-face kind of day. guess we all need that sometimes.
still, some things to be happy about:
-tomorrow’s my last day of class for the week.
