Changing my major.

Holy moly. If I wasn't already the most erratic blogger, coming to college sure didn't help. I always knew I wasn't one of those people to love high school, we all know them... those people that will always remember those four years of high school as "the best days of my life". Ugh. Gag me with a rusty spoon. I spent high school wishing everyday to get out of that tiny little blob of a bubble and get out into the bigger ocean of the world. I seriously have a far too romanticized and hopelessly excitable personality. I believe thats where my love of books came from... I still love books so much because if you have the least bit of imagination, or in my case a whole hell of a lot... probably too much, then you can live vicariously through the stories and the people in those books. I read murder books, I read mystery books, I read sad books, I read happy books, I read risque books. I love books. And I'm about to share an intensely embarrassing fact. As if I'm not already an intense embarrassment to myself LOL. I am a great lover of historical romances. You know, those ones where a shirtless Fabio is standing on a cliff with the wind running through his hair and quite possibly a helpless damsel clinging to his arm in some type of ballgown. I think they appeal to me not only because I'm a sucker for a good love story (and we all know that these types ALWAYS end up happily ever after) but because I secretly want my life to be as ridiculous as these books. They all have basically the same plots, always involving family feuds, or secret princesses, or misunderstood people with traumatic pasts. And sadly, I have completely convinced myself that I am destined to live this ridiculously glamourous lifestyle that includes but is not limited to: having a prince or multibillionaire fall hopelessly in love with me and demand I marry him at once, living in a palace in a foreign country, discovering that I am secretly the last of a long lost royal family, becoming insanely famous (what would my talent even be anyway?) etc, etc. I've come to the conclusion that although I LOVE college, I mean its a blast everyday of the week and I have never in my life been happier, that I really just want to live in a book... Does Auburn possibly offer "Fabulously Extravagant and Ridiculously Unlikely and Glamourous Lifestyle" as a major? This mind vomit and sudden realization came from the fact that I really am changing my major. As I sat down and tried to think of something that I could see myself waking up and loving for the rest of my life I realized that it was this ridiculous fantasy illustrated above... I guess we will see what crazy thing I decide to pursue, because apparently "Certified Daydreamer and Wanderer", while it would make me extremely happy, is not a lucrative career. Who knew?

I AM TRIBE

Well, I never thought that this day would come! I am now officially part of "the tribe". If you know my family then you know that recently my dad has been on an intense workout regimen. He joined Irontribe Fitness, which is a crossfit gym. Crossfit pretty much means that they are short workouts (the one that we did today was 9 minutes) but they throw literally EVERYTHING and ANYTHING at you. It was actually the most intense thing i've ever done! My dad does Irontribe, as well as the Paleo diet, and he has lost around 60lbs already! Yay dad! He already looks and feels so much better! I went this morning with him to the bring a friend workout... and ended up signing up for three days a week. I'm currently excited, but also secretly dreading it, because it was SO hard. It was one of those things where you think its not going to be that hard and then its harder than anything you've ever done and by the time you finish your vision is sort of fuzzy and you're cursing and swearing you'll never do it ever again. And then a few minutes go by and you start to feel a little better. And then you feel AWESOME. So then you sign up for four months... Or at least thats what I did. I really am excited because I need to start getting into a good workout regimen before I go to college and this has awesome results. I am so ready to start looking more toned! Maybe I will finally join the rest of my family and get a six pack... HAH.
