That awkward moment when you have a bunch of...
550 words about words, you can’t beat that.
I was once told that no one is born writing; with this statement I beg to differ. I was born writing. I did not have a pen in my hand, nor a word in my head, but I trust that I was writing. As soon as the words were in my head they were formed into stories. An ongoing narration of my own, and a fictional account of the story I longed to live. I...
Oh the food inventions in a dorm.
I wanted rice pudding, so I made some quinoa, mixed in plain greek yogurt, and sweetened it with stevia. It’s actually pretty good.
I'm sitting here studying for bio
And my notes are cracking me up. I defined bryophytes as “little lame-os”. Having fun with school is a key to success. I’m not going to forget the relative simplicity of bryophytes now.

I love Monday mornings.
Even though I wanted to die when I woke up at 6, practice was fantastic. My legs were straight up DEAD (leg pressed 400 easily yesterday!), so I just had to push that much harder, and I had zero achilles pain. Then during the touches part, I was just killing it. My touches were tight, my passes were crisp, my through balls were perfect and SO WERE MY RUNS. For being as quick as I am, seeing the...
How are you showing support and spreading...
Several people have asked me for ideas, so I figured I’d just reach out to all of you and get LOTS of opinions!
Personally, I’ll be keeping the NEDA symbol drawn on my hand everyday. When random stuff is written on your hands, people ask about it. When people ask about it, I feel like I can talk about it without being obnoxious.
So what are you doing for national eating disorders...

Amanda and I are champs.
Coach typed up these sponsorship request letters, and we each had to hand out 10 of them to different businesses, so Amanda and I went straight out today and got rid of all 20 of ours. It’s pretty fantastic to be done already.
Parent appreciation post.
Growing up, my friends always viewed my household as “the house with no rules” - we could eat what we wanted when we wanted, sleep when we wanted, watch TV or get on the computer when we wanted, we didn’t go to school… And while all of that was true (and awesome), we did have a few rules, and I think they were the absolute best rules you can have in a household.

I may not respond to all of the private blog password requests, because I’m not sure if I’m still going to give it out, or just post all of the before and afters on this blog.

I've been asleep all afternoon.
I just keep getting up and going back to bed.
Not going to let myself feel bad about it, obviously I needed the rest.
Dear neighbours:
Please turn down “Shots”. You really don’t need to have it at full volume and be screaming along.
I’m trying to listen to Boots Of Spanish Leather and be introspective and you are SCREWING UP MY MOJO.
I’m really tempted to text an RA and have her tell them to at least be a little bit quieter, but I’m not that much of a bitch.
I don't understand when people are afraid...
And I know I was once one of those people, and I really don’t remember why. My legs can get as big as they want and I will be psyched.

BECAUSE SHARK WEEK IS A BAD WEEK FOR LENT TO START.
You know you're best friends when
You haven’t seen each other in ten months, but when she gets cheated on you facebook stalk the bitch and want to go on a killing spree.
NOBODY MESSES WITH MY MAGGIE.
Running stairs with Ashley.

Curly hair for people who have straight hair.
I have ridiculously straight hair. And no matter what I tried in the past, I could never get curls that actually looked real. It just looked like, oh there’s a girl with straight hair who attacked herself with a curling iron. But then a couple of weeks ago, I remembered that when I was little, my mom would roll my wet hair in strips of fabric at night and in the morning I’d hair crazy...

So, it is officially Ash Wednesday.
As some of you know, I’m a big fan of lent. I’m not Catholic, but I’ve been doing lent for 5 or so years now.
In the past, lent has been a chance for me to exercise my self control.
Not this year.
This year I’m doing it right. This year I’m relinquishing all control. I’m giving it to God. I have some difficult things ahead of me for the next 40 days, things...

I've been so happy this week.
Being happy Sunday night/Monday/Tuesday after being home for the weekend is HUGE for me.
So my fridge temperature is impossible to perfect
And everything is always either slightly frozen or goes bad in 2 days. I’ve decided I prefer slightly frozen. But I’ve just discovered that when it comes to grapes, this is a magical temperature. I like frozen grapes, but I don’t like them TOO frozen, so this is just perfect. It’s like a bite of smoothie in every grape. Amazing.
Sometimes you just have to make a playlist of your...
And here we have my #2 favourite song of all time, which Jordan and I were listening to on vinyl the first time he ever kissed me.
I love nice people.
This morning a girl who I’m just kind of casually friends with messaged me on facebook and said “Hey hey hey! Have a SUPER DUPER WONDERFUL DAY CARLY!” and it just made me smile so much. Then just now as I was walking down the hall a guy who was in front of me (who I also only know casually), turned around and saw me and slowed down to just make small talk with me. In just a...
If you're ever on the verge of a bad mood
Just smile at everyone you see. They’ll smile back, and then you’ll actually be happy.
Works every time for me.
