How I did it
How to use my planner everyday
It took me
3 months
It made me

How I did it: I just made a point to write down everything that was due ahead of time, instead of just telling myself that I'll remember.  I normally forget.  For example, if I had an exam coming up the following week, I wrote it down, even though it was also written in my syllabus.  No more surprises!

How to cut my hair
It took me
1 month
It made me
Lost

How I did it: I had grown my hair out pretty dang long, and the bottom of it looked terrible.  So after forever of trying to psyche myself up.. I finally went and had 4-5 inches cut off.  Read how I did it…

How to win a scholarship
It took me
7 days
It made me
surprised

How I did it: I basically went to my community college and found out that they give a scholarship packet out every year for students.  It had tons inside of it that are through the college, and you had to just mark off the ones that applied to you, write a one page essay on why you deserve it, and send in a transcript.  I wrote a bomb essay and had good grades (not at hs.. just at cc) and was also on the Deans List for one of the quarters.&nb… Read how I did it…

be more mature
Untitled 4 days ago

I am 18 and am not even close to being “mature”. I get mad when my parents dont let me do anything but now I am looking back at myself and realizing that in order to have freedom, I need to earn and deserve it. I also have temper tantrums when I dont get my way, and never clean up after myself. I have never had a job and expect my biological father to pay for everything, and I right now I am not doing very well in college.

I asked my mom how I can go about becoming more mature, and she said, “Take care of your responsibilities. Follow through.” And my step dad said, “Realize that youre not the center of the universe.”

Good advice. Today I am going to go buy a bookshelf to get my crap more organized, apply at McDonalds, clean out my car, mop the floors like I have been saying I will do for weeks, and maybe get some homework done.

I was invited to a party tonight but dont think I’ll go. There are more important things to be done that will have more benefits in the long run.

go vegan
Untitled 2 weeks ago

I have been vegetarian for about 4 years now. It was easy to do, I just quit cold tofurky one day after seeing an entire pig being roasted at a Scottish festival I attended.

I have flirted with the idea of going vegan.. read books about it. Tried it for a while. But now I am ready to give it up for good. My mom is probably the reason why.. she is starting a diet for her multiple sclerosis.

I think “vegan” is kind of a loose term. To me, it means meat free and dairy free. On top of that, I am cutting out gluten. However, I am not going to eliminate every single ingredient made from animal product. Yet, anyway.

Own a Tarantula
Since I was little... 2 weeks ago

I remember when I was little and my parents were going to WSU, I always loved the bug exhibits. I wanted to be a “bug doctor” when I grew up and would keep lady bugs and praying mantises. I also remember holding my very first tarantula… I was probably about 4 or 5 years old.

After moving from Pullman into the city I started to morph into a city girl.. hating bugs and yadda yadda. Now I am 18 and starting to love them again. I love spiders and slugs and snails. Ants too. I just think bugs are so interesting to watch.

I’d love to have a pet tarantula and observe its behaviors and take care of it :) They are just sooo cool!
