Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep...

As most of you know I just finished my second to last semester at Clarkson University. With an awful finals week, of going to bed between 5-7am it was quite a semester!

A lot of good and a lot of bad has hit me in these couple of months. I was at times very sick, very busy, very overwhelmed, and I lost a friend; but once again I have learned so much about life.

So this post is to celebrate life and what it has to offer. You have the ability to have a positive impact on so many people. You have the ability to challenge yourself. This semester I challenged myself by taking 18 credits, managing 8 crazy resident adviser's (just kidding I love them), expanding my sorority by 6 girls, having a work study job, and by being a friend. This semester I have started to clean up the pit, ran a half marathon, and got my highest GPA yet (3.4 woot woot). As for the positive impact, I only have a semester left at Clarkson to positively affect more people. It's not that I want to be missed when I leave Clarkson, I just want the people I have met to be positively affected by me, whether I say hi to you everyday, or help you when your feeling down in the dumps.

Kyle Carreau and Karen Dawson, what more can I say! I love the #CDC. We know how to cheer each other up and most importantly make fun of each other. These are two wonderful people that have had a such a positive impact on my life at Clarkson....

 Even if Kyle is a shithead.

I was telling my sorority sisters one day, that if there is one thing to know about life, it's knowing who you are. I told them they each need to find something that makes them different from everyone else. Then embrace that one thing because people will love you for it. I, for one can always count on my humor, to get me out of trouble with mom or just to make a sour situation a little sweeter.

This break I will be celebrating life, catching some ZZZ's and putting together a new years resolution to stick to!

Is Anybody With Me?
