Weather Blues..

There is nothing more depressing than being completely enthralled by beautiful weather for a few days and then having it turn to utter shit before you know it. I find it difficult to get motivated when it is cold and rainy. I have no desire to go to class, the grocery store, or even a concert that I'm supposed to go to tonight. I am in such a funk right now. I do not like it.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
I am trying to get into graphic novels/comics more. The above photo is my current read. I am on the third issue (out of eight) and although I really adore the artwork.. the writing in it is just horrific. It's just very bland and looks like it has been written by an elementary school student. I think I will just admire the pictures and ignore the text for the rest of the story.

Time for a nap? Yes.

Smile Today (and every other day)!

Being a college student can be so stressful sometimes! It's difficult balancing difficult courses, work, a social life, and a home all at once! No wonder we students end up partying every weekend.. I struggle to keep myself in a perky mood 24/7 at times, but luckily the simple things really lift my spirits.

Smileys:
 My Parmesan cheese shaker!
I constantly see/use different smiley faces each and every day. Whether I am using emoticons when texting a friend, doodling instead of taking notes in class, or walking home and noticing sticks making a smile, I am surround by happy faces. I can't help but smile back at them!

Cute animals:
 My family's dog, Sadie as a puppy. D'awww!
I don't think anyone can be upset when they see an adorable kitten dressed in a hat and tie or a little lamb nomming a flower! My friends know me so well that they instantly send me a picture of a kitten when I am sad. I instantly make a three-face! :3

Friends:
 Work buddies eating after work!
Luckily, I have made so many friends at my work! I usually have a great time whenever I am working, regardless of how my day has gone. You an find us cooking hamburgers and making subs while dancing to music in our heads. I also have my group of freshman friends that I made in the dorms last year. I can always count on them to let me come over whenever I want. I love my little nerds! And lastly, I have my boyfriend who can always make me laugh.. except when he doesn't want to watch Tangled with me! :P

Food:
 PANCAKES!!!!
I don't think I need to say much about how awesome food can make someone feel! I love coming home and being able to eat oreos and chips and salsa. Mmm! Delish~


I can think of so many other things that make me happy regardless of what is going on in my life. Things are a little rough right now, but as long as I think about the simple things in life I will continue to be the bubbly Lisa that everyone knows and loves. :D

Toodles!

First Post!

Hello everyone~
My name is Lisa. This is my blog about the life of a college student (AKA moi!). I am currently in my second year, and I was just accepted into the special education program a few weeks ago! I hope to have informative and fun posts about my life here at The Ohio State University. So far I have had a fantastic time here in school, and I would love to have more people to share that with. I am not new to the blogging world at all, but I am most familiar with the site livejournal. Coming to blogger is a big jump for me as I am going to be a public blog.Feel free to take a look around and leave me a comment. :D
I will be posting my first real post soon, so don't wander off too far!

Toodles!
