Comparison is the Theif of Joy

Hiiii! :)

      For the past little while I have found that I've been comparing myself to others constantly.I don't do it intentionally, it just sort of happens either through social media or  even amongst my friends. I find that this is a common problem in today's society and I think it is important for everyone to remember that they are their own person and we all have certain aspects that make us special. We are all amazing in our own ways and I need to remember that sometimes.  We all need to stop comparing ourselves to others because we are not that person, nor will we ever be.  We are who we are and we might as well embrace it :)
     I have promised myself to focus on loving myself more, doing things that I love and being extra thankful for everything in my life. This obviously doesn't happen over night, it is a journey, but it is 100% worth it!

I hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy the great warm weather!

Let it Snow

Helloooo :)

Last night I handed in my very last assignment of the year! No more midterms or essays (until after Christmas) and it feels wonderful. There are still exams to look forward too (eeek!) but its nice to know I'm almost done this semester. I went to bed last night feeling relieved that I don't have to worry about anything for a while besides studying, and when I awoke everything was covered in snow. It was truly beautiful.

It is just so beautiful <3

 I absolutely love snow. I know that many people do not agree with me on this, but there is something so magical about it and I kind of  got over excited and took an excessive amount of pictures.... hehehe! But just seeing this when I woke up has put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. I finished my essay on time and it snowed, how perfect is that!

 This is my last week of classes as well which is exciting. I'm a bit flabbergasted at how quickly this semester flew by! As much as I am looking forward to the holidays I wish time could just slow down a bit. I honestly feel like i just started university and I'm already halfway through second year! How does that happen?

Today has started off wonderfully, and I know this post isn't really about anything in particular, but I just felt like I had to write it. I hope you all have a lovely day, and don't forget to smile!! :D And I will leave you with a song that always puts me in a good mood- Come on Eileen! :)

September! :O

Hiiii Everyone!

I'm sorry that I haven't made a new post in a while but the school year started and things are starting to get busy once again! But don't worry, I'm still here :P
 Last week I started my second year of university and although I was excited, I was also rather anxious. To be quite honest I had a horrible first year. I was extremely stressed, I hated my program, I spent many nights in tears and my marks were not the best. Over the summer I realized that I needed to try something different and so I changed programs and took courses that I actually will like. So far, I think that I have made the right decision because I am actually enjoying school now (hopefully it stays that way!)

I have also begun a new hockey season! I have been playing competitive hockey for 9 years now and I absolutely love it! Hockey is such a big part of my life and I am so thrilled that my season is finally starting. It`s just so much fun to be on a team. Plus it keeps me in shape and  is a really nice stress reliever too. We don`t actually have any league games until October, but there is a tournament next week which I am looking forward to, and I have an exhibition game tomorrow. :)

Between school, hockey and work the year can get really busy, and there are times when I just get extremely stressed, but I just need to remind myself that I am lucky to be given the opportunity to do things like go to school and join a sports team. My goal this year is to work hard, try new things, and stay optimistic even when it is super hard to do so.

I thought this was very fitting! always believe in your abilities :)

For those of you in school, I hope you have a successful year! Work hard, stay positive and good things will come :D
Have a wonderful day!
Byeeeee!<3
