20 Blessings of 2020
https://functionalrustic.wpcomstaging.com/2018/08/quotes-10/

We lived it, we are still living it for a few more weeks. 2020 was worse than any ex I have ever had. But like those failed attempts at love, there was also a sprinkle of good here and there yall. There were so many hardships, and this is not to negate that fact. This is both for me and you, to remind us all that our silver linings do exist, even in these trying times. 2020 I will not miss you. Here are 20 of the things I could miss though!!!

Family x93857

Randomly moving home in the middle of the prime of my life? Obviously not part of my five year plan. However, more time with my family, from the movie nights to the lake campfires, that is time I will always be grateful for.

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Baby

Oh yall already KNOW. I love a good book, but these outlets sure did keep me sane.

School...believe it or not

Back To School GIF by GIPHY Studios OriginalsGiphy

While online school would not be my preference, the opportunity to be educated in the middle of a global health crisis is absolutely insane. I did not have to push back my education. Incredible.

Friends that have Intention>>>>

Season 10 Hug GIF by FriendsGiphy

I love my friends so much...I am also horrible at answering texts in a timely fashion. My friends know this, and made sure to reach out anyways. Being checked on was the most heart warming thing, and I plan on caring that over once this mess called Covid is a distant memory.

New Music

Harry, I am talking to you. Love you xx

Time to Reflect

Inner Peace GIF by SherchleGiphy

Would've asked for a little less here, but having afternoons on the back porch to safely think about how much I have and love...good times.

Good Books

read beauty and the beast GIF by DisneyGiphy

Books and books and more books. When the anxieties of life were overwhelming (so um often this year obviously), I had a nice and healthy outlet to escape. Incredibly thankful.

Hometown Honeys

Sex And The City Yes GIFGiphy

I love my hometown, but did not plan on living there again once graduation. Neither did my hometown friends. We were all in it together, and that was a huge comfort.

Whew yall my JOB

Cat Reaction GIFGiphy

This is a huge one. I am employed, and the financial perk plus the consistency is so nice. Really really thankful here.

Grocery Pick Up, can I get an amen??

come again over it GIFGiphy

Yall we could be fed without going inside. 10/10

My Med School and Nursing Friends

Ya girl is a hypochondriac...my med/nursing friends assured me frequently that I do in fact have allergies, not yet dying.

The Bachelorette, hear me out.

Season 6 Wink GIF by Bachelor in ParadiseGiphy

A sense of normalcy. Every Tuesday I went to my favorite lil adpi house and watched 2 hours of trashy tv while being surrounded by humans that I love dearly. It forced me to be social (I am extroverted so I needed this), to see my friends even when stressed, and to make time for my mental health. This is another memory I will remember forever.

This Generation's View of Mental Health

Feel Better Mental Health GIF by Sarah The PalmerGiphy

Checking in, reminding each other (those we know and do not) that it is so okay to not be okay, and normalizing talking about struggling...awesome. So awesome. We have made so much progress in creating a society that doesn't worship the idea of bottling up imperfections or struggle.

Insta, Snapchat, the Works

social media twitter GIFGiphy

Staying connected. That's it.

Tik Tok needed its' Own

Happy So Excited GIF by TikTokGiphy

The amount of hours should be embarrassing, but heaven knows I do not get embarrassed easily. I belly laughed and danced and cried. Love tik tok.

Georgia <3

veronica mars wink GIFGiphy

Blueeeeeeee ;) #iykyk ...I hope yall all know.

Hugs

Monsters Inc Hug GIFGiphy

We are all touch deprived. It's a human need. Being hugged releases so many good hormones, and I appreciate every hug I received in 2020.

Random Dance Parties

Brits GIF by BRIT AwardsGiphy

Whether it was dancing with just Lizzo and I, with all of my friends, with my mama, this was such a great activity of 2020.

Roommates

bored matthew perry GIF by Nick At NiteGiphy

I love my roommates. Just do.

Belly Laughing

Captain America Laughing GIF by mtvGiphy

My favorite feeling is when I cannot breathe from laughing so hard, and even in these dagum trying times I managed to have many of these moments. Not even 2020 can keep the belly laughs away, and I am beyond grateful for that.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
