The Occasional Chipotle Run

I have come to realize this past year that I may have a Chipotle OBSESSION! I could probably eat it every day if I could. But to constantly crave a bowl filled with goodness within has kept me sane. Luckily Chipotle has the quick pickup inside their restaurants, it is a quick in and out. You know, not only be safe during these times of uncertainty but it also helps when I order it by the time I get there it is ready.

The Daily Dose of Coffee

College has definitely had its effects on my drinking of coffee, but this past year I surely cannot go without my morning coffee. Whether it is hot coffee or even an iced coffee, even a whipped coffee (Thanks TikTok) every now and then.

Binge Worthy Shows

I mean is this even a question for a quarantine staple. I watched, for the first time, Game Of Thrones within a span of only a few months. One of my favorite shows yet and I cannot wait for House of the Dragon to come out. Trinkets and The Rain are more favorites, and I just started watching Tiny Pretty Things.

Cooking and Baking

I have always enjoyed baking and cooking, but with more time on my hands I have enjoyed it a little more. I swear I baked like 100 loaves of zucchini bread from homegrown zucchinis from our family garden. I have learned how to make homemade cinnamon rolls too.

And Yes, my Family

I do not know what I would do this past year being by myself, I am lucky enough to have had my family at my side. Besides the craziness that we call this year, game nights here and there have been a part of the agenda as well as the occasional laugh at each other.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
