3 Dates in 3 Days?!

This week has been absolutely insane! So so so much homework. It's been pretty stressful enough just trying to get all my homework done and I've somewhat put my social life on the back burner as I do so. Being the hermit that I've been, it was the MOST unexpected thing when I got asked out on a date on Sunday. I was a little shocked, nervous, and uncomfortable with it but I decided that would be okay; everyone deserves a chance. Then on Monday, I got a date with a childhood friends' cousin. Then Tuesday, I got a date with a guy from my FHE group. 3 DATES IN 3 DAYS. WHAT. ?! I was literally being a hermit and somehow got asked out. 3 times. By 3 different guys. Maybe I should be a hermit more often? Lol just kidding. The first guy never set an actual day or time, the second one planned for Friday (today) and the last for Saturday. All this on top of my crazy homework schedule. Honestly I wasn't stressed about the actual date I was just stressed about having enough time to do everything that I needed academically! Well one wasn't ever scheduled, and the third one was postponed, so all I needed to worry about is one date, tonight. Which made it not stressful! Except then I actually had time to think about meeting him (I have never met him in person, like ever. We literally just barely started texting each other last weekend)! He couldn't tell if he was at the right house so he called me to check and then just told me that he was there, but then I told him to come to the door hahaha. So he came and knocked and my roommate answered and I introduced him to them cause they all wanted to get to know him and then I promptly left lol. This is my date not theirs! So we went to his car and he opened the door for me and closed it for me. Good sign. I discovered tonight that I'm very giggly when I'm nervous. I giggled a LOT tonight. But it was a really good nervous. We went to the store and bought some materials for our date and when we went back to the parking lot to the car he opened the door again for me! Normally guys only open the door for me the first initial time so I was quite impressed. He told me that he was actually leaving town tonight after our date to go to Star Valley, WY. I was shocked that he was taking me on a date and then going to drive to a different state right after that! I told him that he could've rescheduled or said no but he said it was fine. :) Then we went to this persons apartment (he knew one guy there and he invited us to join them--but we really didn't know anyone there), and they were all super nice and friendly! Phew. I was a bit nervous about being surrounded by a whole bunch of people I didn't know but it worked out great! We had canvas' and paint and different object to paint with; paintbrushes, sponges, fake flowers, and kitchen utensils. We drew an object name out of a cup and were assigned to that object to paint with. We got paint brushes! Then we watched a Bob Ross video and had to use those materials to paint a Bob Ross picture. We also switched objects throughout the painting. They were all pretty bad to be honest... But my date Stetson and I's won! Guess we didn't do too terrible haha. Stetson also rubbed some paint on my hand so I took some paint and made a streak on his face. After we washed our hands off from all the pain he flicked the water at my face and I declared that I'd get back at him for it! (Even though I didn't tonight). Then we played a game with the pool table where you're trying to hit the 8 ball with the cue ball and you just roll the ball and after it taps the next person has to quickly hit the 8 ball before it stops moving. It's kind of like playing a game of horse in basketball; except this game was called Crudd. It was very intense and competitive but way fun! When we went back to the car he opened my door AGAIN! I am becoming very keen on this behavior. I thanked him for taking me on the date on the way home and talked about what a good time we had had. He opened up and said that he's been going on dates a lot lately because people keep setting him up and he said he was so sick of it. And then his Aunt Jen (one of my childhood friends' mom--his Aunt) texted him saying that he should take me out for a date. So he figured he'd give it a go for his Aunt Jen. But after having gone on the date he said that he was really glad that he did ask me out. He walked me to the door and gave me a hug goodbye, saying that he'd really like to do something again sometime. AHHHH!!! I'm so glad he said it so that I didn't have to!! I emphatically said yes of course. And then he texted me later tonight saying AGAIN that he had such a good time on the date and hoped to do it again sometime. So I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious... ;) If anything we're just friends and it's been great getting to know him! So there's my date story of the night. Hope you enjoyed!

Confidence is Keyyyyy

Hey all. Missed you ;) Seriously don't know how Becca does such a stellar job keeping up on her blog and giving interesting long stories about her life. Maybe I'm just struggling cause it's one of my busiest weeks getting ready for exams these next two weeks. Anyways, confidence is key. I've been curious a lot about fashion lately and what I think myself to look attractive in. I don't really feel like I look good in modern fashion trends, but today I got a boost of confidence and I decided to wear my Go Go boots to school (thanks for mailing them mom ;)). The instant I walked out of the door and reached the sidewalk that everyone was walking on I got a compliment. And then I got a gazillion compliments in class. I did pass one girl on my walk who FULL ON literally made a disgusted face at me and all I could do was laugh. I looked good and I knew it! It doesn't matter what other people think; as long as you wear your clothes in a confident matter, you'll look good.

Well hey there folks! It’s been a hot minute

It’s been a while (4 years actually 😬) since I’ve written on my blog. I always thought of it as a hassle back then but now that I’m older I can understand why people kind of like writing on these things lol. I got back to blogging because I just started college a little bit ago and I figured this is a good way to document what’s going on in my life without retelling the story to each individual person in my life (although I’ll still want to do that sometimes). I’ll just start with a little happy thing that happened for this post and actually start blogging later this week. College is hard, what’s new haha. It hasn't been the best day today and I was feeling kind of down about myself when I came home to a little hand written note on my bed from one of my roommates. A little back story, this roommate has a lot of different mental struggles and even though I try to help her, I’ve never really felt that successful. So I came home to this little note she made and I opened it and it read: “Thank you for being such a spiritual light. I like sitting around you because it just feels peaceful.” I feel like I’ve struck gold! Let me just say people, you never know how much good you do. Give yourself some credit, even on the hard days.
