What is a blog really about anyways?

Today I realized I wanted a blog makeover. I've been so focused on writing about the big events that I miss everyday life. I wanted this blog to be away for family and friends to keep up with me when we can't always connect daily. I got caught up in the glamor of blogging, and already tired my self out before I had even started!

The fall semester has already ended, meaning I have completed 5 semesters of college so far. I have 3 left until I finish my undergrad college experience. To be honest, I don't really know where time went, I can't remember anything except wishing for this moment. I wished for time to slow down, for school to end for a short winter break, and for rest. I still am not resting, but I find myself wishing for the next moment. Life is filled with many moments but I've been missing them because I want the next moment. I'm swarmed with time commitments, events, and classes and I just realized I will always have those time fillers there.

 The reality is that I don't have an answer.. I have just always been a kid wanting to grow up (or a kid who grew up before I needed to) Now that I enter my adulthood, I am excited for more of my life to happen. I am so excited to graduate college and start my career, I am more than excited to one day get married, and I am excited to see where the Lord places me and asks me what to be. I do know that I can't get to those places without the going through the places I am in right now. Everyone has to start somewhere.

 

All my love

My secret....

I am about to share with you all something that I feel I should I have said long ago. I want to tell you about this thing in my life that brings me great joy. I mean it has been really, really important to me in my life. Enough with the suspense, I'll just tell you. I love cats. It isn't like I want to own a lot of cats, I just think they are hilarious. Matter of fact, I received a cats and kittens book for my birthday..this last year. I also watched a million cat videos on YouTube last night. Cats know what life is all about. For example, I think cats have special universal permission to be beeeyatchs. It isn't only a word for dogs anymore. No one gets mad at cats when they are mean, I personally think it's funny.  How do cats earn that right in life? No one thinks it is funny when I am being a beeyatch. There is just something to learn from cats.. They eat, and then they sit wheresoever their little cat hearts desire all day long. If they want affection they get it, and if they don't you won't even see your cat that day.  They can go on little cat adventures, and they are immune to scorpion venom. No one ever describes their cat as needy.


You go cats! Get it.

RIP pickles :(

My official second post

Today was one of those days, where it kinda feels like fall the whole day. I don't have much experience with season changes (Arizona didn't give me much variety, and Azusa is second best) but the weather has that perfect blend of cloudy skies and cool air. It has been so perfect that I have spent most of my day relaxing, and it has led me to be very thoughtful. Even though this is my so called comedy tour, today will be one of those days that I'm not as funny as my typical hilarious self. Today you get thoughtful Taylor, and in my opinion she can be quite the handful too. This past week has been one of those weeks where when you reach the end you aren't sure whether to laugh or cry. It hasn't been a bad week, just a busy week, one where you almost lose sight of yourself because you need to get everything done. I spent more time in the library this week than I have during finals week, which is unusually odd. Therefore, after clearing my plate from the week, I had a veeeerry important, and specific weekend plan.

My weekend goal was to catch up on all of my favorite TV shows which include, in specific order...
1. Grey's Anatomy
2. Let's be honest the rest are just time fillers. 

but, I do love my TV binges! 

I took a break from my weekend plan and I've spent most of my day spending time with the people I want to spend time with, and even a 25 minute phone conversation with my dad :) and it has been such a breath of fresh air. Sometimes, I get so caught up with the task at hand that I forget about myself. I actually think this is a default for many more people than not. I don't have any words of wisdom, and I am practicing on not giving any adivce this year, so don't look to me for the answers! I just found it an important thing to think about. However, if you are looking for some wisdom I pass this on (I read this in a candy wrapper and it has changed my life) Take 5 deep breaths. Seriously try it if you haven't. It almost feels like the world just gives you that moment to take those deep breaths. As best said in the movie Just Friends "Be yourself". Don't forget about you.

All my loveeee from the thoughtful me.

P.S. I don't actually own this horrible head decor, but if I did it would totally be my thinking cap.

Where in the world am I?

Hello to all my millions of blog followers,
I am writing to you from the beautiful and smog free Azusa, California where the high today is 108 degrees, which is funny because I thought I didn't live in Arizona anymore. Many of you might be wondering the purpose of this blog considering I am not really doing anything "cool" with my life. I am a normal, third year college student, who hates homework. However, just as though I am stationed in Azusa, I wanted to share my "normal" life activities with my family and friends who I have an increasingly harder time connecting with over these crazy busy past few years. For those of you who don't already know, I am an R.A. in the freshman dorms this year, which means everything I now talk about is abbreviated, and only has to do with boys who are "totes presh" (totally precious). So far, it has been one of the hardest things I have done in my short life. Matter of fact, I am surprised that I even have the time to update this blog. Last night, I went to be at 1am, and I woke up this morning at 7:30am, mainly because after I had my weekly event I realized, "Whoopsies, I forgot to do my homework...again." Therefore the lack of sleep has ultimately left me as a mentally unstable person, who now is writing a blog which like I said earlier, is influencing millions of people. But, let's just be honest here, and admit that even if I didn't have 29 wonderful and unique freshman ladies under my care, I probably still would procrastinate on my homework. Back to what is important....this will be my place to make my extra special updates, tell my stories, and share my life with you all. Who knows how frequent these updates will be... Since this is my comedy tour, my posts need to be funny, so if nothing funny happens to me, then no post for that day! :)

I will do my best to keep you all involved in my life, and I want to hear back from you as well.. Let's take advantage of technology?

All my love.
