To You:

    To the guy who told me my hair looked nice when I was buying lunch, Thank You To the guy who literally ran so he could open the door for me, Thank you. To the girl who shared her umbrella with me when I was stranded, Thank You. To the TA who makes time on his day off to help me, Thank You.  To my brothers who will randomly invite me out to lunch just because they wants to see me, spend three hours trying to fix my internet, and go with me to sporting events, Thank you. To the girl who ran after me to give me back my water bottle, Thank you. To my parents who are always just willing to listen to me, whether laughing or ranting, Thank You.

    Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in all the things that don't go right and forget about the things that do.  So today I want to remember the good people in the world, most likely you are one of them, Thank You.

Sincerely Yours,

Heidi Jane

 

Eavesdropping on Life: Wedding Frenzy

Tis the season? The season for marriage? YES. In case you aren't convinced...here are the conversations I heard (*cough eavesdropped on*) today alone.

Girl 1: but I don't know what to do because fondant tastes nasty but looks perfect

Girl 2: I can't have more bridesmades then groomsmen, but if I uninvite her she'll hate me. Right?   No, your supposed to say she will forgive me.

Girl 3: Would it be tacky to just skip the DJ and have an awesome playlist?

You guys...I couldn't make this stuff up. But fear not because while y'all are gettin engaged I am livin up the single life...

Carrots, bioinformatics, and a cellular biology test....sorry didn't mean to make you jealous. = )

Insincerely Yours,
Heidi Jane

To much? Probably....Do it anyway

 So these days (as in for the last 6 months) I have kinda gone over the top with everything, especially clothes. So over Christmas break I decided I wanted to make myself a cute little hair bow to accessorize with ( thank you pinterest). Well of course nothing can be done in moderation in my life so here it is...the bow of all bows.

Yeah it takes up like half o' my head and makes me look like I am twelve...I'm over it.
Want one?  Well here are the very complicated and detailed instructions...

1. Pinterest hair bows patter
2. Times the pattern by a million.

Whew my first DIY instructions....t'was a struggle.

Insicerely Yours,
Heidi Jane

All you can do is smile

Story of my day
-woke up with it hard core snowing out side
-burnt my hand curling my hair
-left my milk out overnight
-walk 15 minutes to class in the downpour of snow to find out that my class is canceled
-hair that I spent 30 minutes curling is now flat
-spend 4 hours from 6-10 in reviews on a Friday night.

Sometimes the only thing left that you can do on days like today is smile.

Insincerely yours,

Heidi Jane

One of those nights

My night is looking a little this...

Hair In a bun
Glasses out
Late night slap happy face on

Let the homework begin. Oh college....I love you but sometimes I wonder why.

Insincerely Yours,
Heidi Jane

In all Seriousness

“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.”

— Samuel Adams

Rockin the Red, White, and Blue for election day.

And no I do not have an "I voted" sticker....absentee ballots really need to enclose a sticker with them...first world problems

College food

You know how everyone talks about how college kids never have any food? Well if this is true then I didn't get the memo. I have this horrible problem where if I see something on sale then I just buy it because "you never know when you might need 6 cans of sweetened condensed milk". It is a problem. So would you like to see what a real college pantry looks like? Here is my shelf...

(ignore the top left...don't know what happened there...)

So yeah, I would hardly say that starving is the appropriate term. But wait it gets better. Do you want to see what a fridge looks like that is shared by 6 GIRLS??? Wish granted.

                                                            Note the 5 different cartons of milk...

It is a Class A Struggle....this is the only section that is mine...

Oh the joys of college living.

Insincerely Yours,
Heidi Jane

P.S. Make sure to get out and vote tomorrow if you haven't already!!!
