Currently: Summertime 2014

My, oh my. This summer has quite possibly been the craziest time I have ever experienced! With that said, I have also been the happiest I have ever been. I feel as though a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I am finally free to enjoy life as I once did. Except now, I am enjoying it even more than I ever imagined.  

Despite the whirlwind I've been caught up in (AKA life) I would really really really like to get back into the habit of blogging. Craziness = scattered thoughts = well, more craziness. As much as I truly have been enjoying myself, I think it would benefit me to take the time to sit down on a regular basis and compose my thoughts.

In an effort to get back into the blogging groove, I decided to whip up a good ol' Currently post. I am looking forward to just a few weeks from now when I will be able to document the transition from home life to college life. That is when all the real exciting blog entries will take form. For now though, here is what I have been up to outside of the interweb:

Current Book: John. Freaking. Green. I was only going to post my favorite, but let's be honest. If you are familiar with John Green, you know it is impossible to choose just one of his books to rave about. *confession* I may or may not have read three (going on four) John Green books in less than a week. *another confession* My name is Brittany and I am completely, happily, creppily, in love with John Green. There. I said it. But seriously, read these books.

Current Music: I've had this song on repeat for a good two weeks now. Not only is it extremely catchy, but it is incredibly uplifting and every time I hear it I can feel my level of confidence shoot up through the roof! It's nothing deep, but it sends a solid (humorous) message about loving your body and not buying into all the photoshopped media we see far too much of these days. You go, Meghan Trainor.

Current Guilty Pleasure: Still Dance Moms. Sorry.

Current Nail Color: Naked. What can I say, they're happiest that way.

Current Drink: Since I was but a wee Kindergartener, my mom has always purchased those little eight ounce bottles of Sunny D for my brothers and I to put in our lunches. Upon entering high school though, I stopped taking them in my lunch because they're "for kids." Psh. Who am I kidding, Sunny D is delicious! (Even if I am in fact 18 years old) The other day I came home to find an entire GALLON of Sunny D in the fridge, so I figured I might as well help get rid of it!

Current Food: Let us all take a moment to wipe the drool off our faces as we admire the perfection that lies within the contents of this jar. I gobble this stuff up by the spoonful. No shame.

Current Obsession: I didn't think it was possible, but my Pinterest obsession has cultivated. Currently *pun intended* it is because I am in desperate need of inspiration for my dorm! I have been pinning ideas like a madwoman. Still, a final decision has yet to be made. For now, more pinning it is!

Current Wish: For college to start already! Yes, I said it. I actually want to be in school. I never thought I would see the day where I actually crave homework. Perhaps I should see a doctor for that.

Current Need: To finish (and by finish I mean start) dorm shopping. I don't know how I'm going to decorate my dorm yet and I move in less than 3 weeks! Gah. I hate decisions.

                          

Current Bane of My Existence: The fact that my best friend of ten years is moving far to the other side of the country to go to school in New York City! Wahh! As devastated as I am, I know our friendship isn't going anywhere. We survived high school together despite being five hours away from each other, so I am confident that a few more miles between us isn't going to make a difference. Our wallets will be taking the biggest toll, having to buy plane tickets to visit each other.

Current Blessing: I am learning to appreciate what my body can do rather than what size jeans I can fit into. Although I may not be thrilled with what I see in the mirror everyday, I know that I should be. My body allows me to express myself in dance class, stay out until midnight with my friends, and be a had-working employee at a job that I could not love more. If that isn't a blessing, I don't know what is.

How does one not absolutely love this job!?

Current Excitement: COLLEGE COLLEGE COLLEGE COLLEGE COLLEGE COLLEGE.

Current Mood: Anticipative. Did I mention I'm moving out in less than three weeks?

Current Link: Brittany Burgunder's blog. Though I have never met Brittany in person, I feel as though I have known her for years! This girl is quite possibly the strongest, most persevering person I know. I am honored to not only share a love for horses with her and attend the same school together, but even share the same name! Brittanys rule. :) (p.s. Brittany also has a book coming out soon-- maybe by the time I do my next "currently" post, you will see that under "current book!")

Well, that's it for now folks! Not to worry though, I shall return soon with some new and (hopefully) exciting blogs. Thanks for reading!

What is your current obsession? (come on, we all have at least one)
