humpday!

i  started my second semester of my sophomore year on a tuesday so my mind is all confused so i seriously thought today was tuesday and came up with a super clever name for this post. i won't spoil it so i can save it for when it actually is tuesday. but at the start of the school year i set a number of goals for myself, while i can't say that i reached any of them last semester, but i can continue to try. i however, want to set new goals for myself. perhaps these will be more manageable but as i continue my college career i realize that no matter how much you plan there's always a wrench in the mix. 

1) nourish my existing relationships.

2) workout everyday (even if it is just a little bit). 

3) focus more on school- stay in and do some work instead of going out. 

4) enjoy 

but for the mean time while i'm trying to accomplish my goals take a listen to hero by family of the year. it's soothing me to sleep and keeping me company on my bike rides.

inauguration day & mlk

regardless of political party i think we can all agree how amazing beyonce's rendition of the National Anthem at yesterdays inauguration. it is a wonderful time when all American's can come together and remember that we are one nation. i get chills listening to her sing she has such a beautiful voice. i am very proud to be an American.

i hope you had a nice MLK day, i did! i spent it volunteering for metroparks in tacoma pulling ivy & blackberry bushes with my sorority sisters.

 Free People's January catalogue is out and it is beyond cool. It makes me want to put some flowers in my hair, hop on my bike, and buy a baguette ASAP. It also makes me wish for spring and summer so i can bare my colorless legs.  I love the idea of wearing dresses while bike riding instead of the usual workout gear. What do you wear when biking? Here are some of the stunning photographs with equally stunning outfits.

my wonderful time in san francisco is up and while i am very sad to be leaving i'm excited to head back to tacoma and see my friends again. this mixture of emotions is always very confusing but i know once i'm back at school and i start getting busy again i won't have time to think about how much i wish i was home. i also have the fantastic memories of this break to remind me that i'll be home soon enough, san francisco is always waiting for me.
