To Infinity and Beyond

Hello everybody!! Happy last week of school for the year!! I am ever so excited for Friday, as that is the day I leave to go home. Today, I wanted to keep it simple by doing a little Christmas tag. 

1. What is your favorite Christmas film?

As you already know, The Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey. Although, a movie that I want to bring out of the dark is the movie Coraline. I don't remember exactly how festive this movie was, but it had some pretty creep/scary bits in it. 

2. Have you ever had a White Christmas?

I suppose I have had my fair share of White Christmases, living in the northern parts of the east coast most of my life. I will say though, that I am not a big fan of snow. Or the cold, for that matter. Which is quite funny(and unfortunate) since I'll be moving to England in a few years. 

3. Where do you usually spend your holiday?

I will be spending my Christmas holiday in Texas with my wonderful family. This month-long break is very much needed.

4. What is your favorite Christmas song?

Hands down "Let It Snow" by Michael Buble, or Jingle Bell Rock(Mean Girls, anyone?)

5. Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?

Sadly, this tradition is something that does not exist in my household. But that just leaves more gifts to open on Christmas Day.

6. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer(besides Rudolph)?

There's Dasher and Dancer, Prancer, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen...For some reason, I feel like I'm forgetting one...

7. What is your all-time favorite holiday treat?

GINGERBREAD MAN COOKIES

Or shall I say, biscuits? I'm trying to get into the habit of using English slang. Don't ask why. Unless you want to...

8. Be Honest: do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts better?

To be honest, I really like both. This is the first year where I had the money to buy my siblings Christmas presents and I cannot wait to see the looks on their faces when they open it because I think they will really like what I got them. That's an exciting experience in itself. But obviously, I do love to receive gifts as well. Who doesn't?

9. What is the best Christmas gift you have ever received?

I can't really decide between my Beats, my sewing machine, and my TOMS. So, all three.

10. What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?

I think you all know the answer to this question...ENGLAND! I always see a little glimpse of the festive-ness around England through Zoe, Joe, and Tanya's vlogmas videos. Super jealous.

11. Are you a pro-present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?

If you have a square or rectangle-shaped box, I'm your girl. But anything other than that, you might as well ask your dog to wrap it because the outcome will be the exact same.

12. Do you make New Years resolutions? Do you stick to them?

I always makes resolutions, and I never stick with them. But THIS New Years, I will make more reasonable resolutions so I know I'll be able to see them through(yet I say this every year). 

13. What makes the holidays special for you?

Spending much-needed time with my family is what makes the holidays extra special. Being away from them for months at a time really takes its toll on me, so I always look forward to the holidays.

That just about sums up my Christmas tag! If you liked it(I was about to say give it a thumbs up...But this isn't YouTube, sadly.), comment telling me your answers to some of these questions. Shout out to Morgan from enthusiasticblog.com for these question ideas. Here is the original post if you want to check it out: http://enthusiastblog.com/2012/12/17/the-christmas-tag/

Have a wonderful night, or morning, wherever you beautiful people are.

Day 14 Calendar Reveal

And the countdown continues...

ho ho ho

Hello everyone! And happy 3rd day of December! Today's topic is something you guys seems to like the most...Boys. As you know, this is a topic I can talk about for hours on end. 

As the weather gets colder, we bundle up more and more to keep ourselves warm. Another way we like to keep warm is cuddling. Yes folks, cuddle season is finally upon us. Winter is the official season for cuddling because who doesn't like to keep warm and snuggle up with their significant other? No one...Unless you're someone like me who doesn't actually have a person to cuddle with. You heard it here first, people. I am(still)single and probably will be for the rest of my life(I hope not). 

Now I know some people are like "Be your own person" and "You don't need a boyfriend", and all of those statements are right. But sometimes I think to myself how nice it would be to be with someone who actually likes me. 

My whole life(ever since boys stopped having cooties), I've never had much luck with the male species. I've never been in love and I have never had at least one successful relationship. I've never cuddled, I've never had a valentine(elementary school doesn't count), I've never had a New Years kiss(sad, I know), and I've never been kissed under a mistletoe. 

At this point of my life, I feel like I'm doing something wrong, and I question myself all the time. Are my standards too high? Am I more of a troll than I thought? These are the type of questions that run through my mind. I like to think I'm a solid 5, 6 if I'm lucky. But I guess I'm not even close to it. I feel like if there was a scale from Gollum to Beyonce, I would be a Dobby. I'm starting to come to the conclusion that I wear boy-repellent. What other explanation is there? (I can actually name a lot)

Sure, it's just a little sad that I'll be spending yet another year single, but what can I do? I'm not good at talking to boys, or people for that matter. Boys don't seem to like me here, although I know that's not the case. I know that I need to "put myself out there" and break out of my shell and just talk to someone, but it's easier said than done. One of the main reasons that I don't like to just talk to boys upfront is because I fear rejection. I absolutely hate the idea of being rejected and I don't even know what I would do if I was to be rejected. Probably cry and never talk to boys again(Just kidding...Boys are irresistible). Don't get me wrong, there are so many attractive people on this campus, but I just can't bring myself to talk to any of them. I'm just shy and awkward. 

To tell you the truth, I kind of(really) want a foreign boyfriend...I am a sucker for guys with accents so I feel like no matter what he would say, I would be absolutely mesmerized. Having been to Europe before, there are 10 times more attractive people there than in America, in my opinion. Everywhere I looked, every corner I turned, there was a 10/10 just standing in the distance. Something I don't understand is that I have absolutely no problem talking to an attractive foreign model, but I retreat into a shell at just a glimpse of a cute American boy. I guess I just feel more comfortable where I truly belong. 

I know there are a lot of you out there who are on the same exact boat as me, and I just want to let you all know that it's going to be alright. The way I see it, God has a special someone for everybody and he's just waiting for the right moment to give them to you. If you're not a religious person and you don't believe in that stuff...Then you are SOL

All jokes aside, you'll find your special someone someday. You just have to wait for the right time. I honestly don't even know what I would do if a guy I liked liked me back. Because it's been so long, I don't know how to relationship anymore.

Day 3 Reveal

These sweet reveals always make me happy, and it's only day 3! If you ever think about getting an advent calendar for the first time, buy the Starbucks Advent Calendar. You will not be disappointed. Unless you hate chocolate, then you will be very disappointed. But I know something you won't be disappointed about...

Hello everybody! The moment we've all been waiting for...ITS FINALLY DECEMBER! It's time to bring out your peppermint hot cocoa and Christmas records. 

I have been waiting for December ever since last December. Christmas is easily my favorite holiday. The decorating, the gingerbread houses, the gift wrapping. Everything about this holiday is amazing.

Last month, I made a promise to myself that I will post more often. So for the first 25 days of December (hence the title), I'm going to make it a goal to post every day until Christmas Day. Now obviously, if you've stuck with this blog for a while, you'll know that I actually tried to do this last year in November. But of course I miserably failed. But I really want to do this and I just know you all want to read it as well :)

For a while now, I've always wanted to purchase an advent calendar. So I think revealing the little goodies each day will be quite exciting. Unfortunately, my calendar doesn't come in until tomorrow. So expect a 2 for 1 tomorrow prize reveal. This month is going to be filled with greatness, so I hope you all stay tuned!

Christmas Song of the Day

Jingle Bell Rock

This album is one of my go-to Christmas albums. The first is the Winnie the Pooh Christmas album...#NoShame

Now it's time to start the Christmas countdown...

Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say. He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.
