The presence on Yow Yow! has been somewhat non-existent for the past couple of weeks and while I am sure some of you may be disappointed by that missing out on news and what not, I am…not!

These past couple of weeks have been the most fun I have had in awhile. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed this hard. I’ve never danced so freely. I’ve never scurried so fast between meetings, class, work, hangouts, etc, but I’ve managed to love every minute of it.

In the past two weeks, I have celebrated birthdays and spent time with the most wonderful company I keep. This past week, I found stability – on my own two feet. When I define support, I don’t think of money or compensation. That’s like the cop-out way of thinking of things. I prefer to just stick it to the man, you know? I think of the people around you that are willing to stand by you no matter what and I think of  what it means to support and believe in myself.

Even though I’m enjoying my last quarter of senior year to the fullest, there are still aspects in my life that are not fully developed. I am not an adult – not yet anyway.

Here’s why:

1. I can’t change a tire
2. I can’t take the bus by myself without feeling slightly uncomfortable
3. I don’t know how to file taxes
4. I don’t like cooking meat
5. I like my stuffed animals (in my defense, they were GIFTS, okay?!)

I wish I could say that by the time I graduate, I will have all these answers – but let’s be real – I don’t want those answers. When college is over, it’s over. I am living in bliss and while I know that reality is near and that I am somewhat prepared for it, I think that I’m pretty happy right now and that’s the state I want to and should be in.

Plus, I’ve just got a lot on my plate right now so yeah, that might be the reason why Yow Yow! is lacking.

Posts will resume tomorrow, but realistically Monday!

I could not have asked for a better way to spend my 22nd birthday this spring break in the company of my three dear friends in such an amazing city!

We’ve been pretty busy eating, shopping, and tourist-ing, but it has definitely been well worth it. Initially, I wanted to have a birthday project while I was venturing, but due to time constraints and priorities I have decided to drop the idea. However, I will have each of my three friends – Riley, Samantha, and Jeanette writing guest posts on Yow Yow!

We can’t wait to share our trip with you including memories and photographs!

Happy first day of spring, everyone!

I don’t think I could be more excited about the start to this season! With this season’s beautiful color palette, my birthday (this coming Saturday!) and my final quarter at my University, things are really shaping up.

I hope wherever you are in the world, spring has sprung for you an that you have much to look forward to!

As you may have noticed this week, my blog posts have been pretty lackluster typically involving a picture and a few lines. Song of the Day – Fashion Posts, etc. Those are all easy for me to do. I actually wrote an elaborate reflection post last night detailing the weather at 1AM and merr merr my life at Seattle U and it’s so great blah blah, which is true! It is! Everything that you’ve heard in the news lately about Seattle University, it’s all true – and aside from the same-sex marriage scandal at our chapel, the volunteering part of it and our community coming together are huge aspects of my college career and the college careers of my friends.

Anyways, I wrote that post last night about a few random things, but it was short lived because I had what I call, “blogger’s remorse.” I’ve been taking back a lot of things I’ve been saying lately or deleting posts/making them private after I felt they were unnecessary, but I’m writing this one now because I wanted you have some sort of explanation as to why my posts haven’t had much effort behind them recently. It’s because I’m not putting effort into them – truth – because I’m studying for my finals.

I’ve also had a little bit of blogger’s remorse because the people in my life have started bringing up to me that they read my blog, which can make me feel a little self-conscious at times about what I’m writing. First off, I’m extremely grateful that you’re taking time out of your day to read my posts that are sometimes just plain nonsense. What I’m really hoping is that you are catching some of the meaningful ones in their too. I’m flattered and when you choose to share it with other people, Yow Yow! grows! But I can’t help feeling a little shy sometimes because some of the things I write on here are things I wouldn’t talk about in real life and as my friends, you already know that.

Again, thank you for your support. If you tell me that you read my blog, I promise I’ll learn how to thank you graciously without making you feel awkward, but this is a thank you in advance. For readers that don’t know me in real life, please continue to like my posts, comment on them, and send me emails! I love hearing what you guys think and I appreciate your support as you’ve seen me through my birthdays and Yow Yow! milestones.

Thanks y’all!
