BIG NEWS

Hey everyone! I want to tell you guys some big news! Well, it's not huge but it's awesome news! I am now a writer for the Odyssey. The Odyssey is an online platform where writers can write what matters to them. The majority of the writers are between the ages of 18-34. Might I also add that the CEO, Evan Burns was recently in the 2015 30 Under 30!

Once my article for this week gets published, I will be posting the website here for you to go read it and explore the other talented writers.

Life Last Week 2015-4

Bests:

1. School started! Yay! No more boredom.

2. I had multiple FaceTime dates with my Nina! Almost every morning before school. She makes the day start off on a good note.

3. I love my professors for my three classes! They are all fabulous and humorous.

4. I got to go do manual labor at the barn and ride Molly the Super Pony! She is a blast to jump!

5. Sam Smith released his song "Writing's On the Wall", which is the Bond theme song for Spectre. It is absolutely fantastic and addicting. I've been listening to it all Friday morning and afternoon. It's a love song, which makes it different but unique.

Worsts:

1. I have a lot of reading homework to get through... Sad face, but I have to work really hard from this year on forward.

2. Canvas was down when I got home on Friday. Time to read books.

First Day of Junior Year

Perks of a selfie stick? Haha, but this is my outfit today. I'm going to the gym with Johanna after my classes because I need to get back on that routine. It'll be a Tuesday-Thursday thing since I'm there till 4. 

Mud will spend her time sleeping until I come home at 5 to feed her and tell her about my day.

She is currently looking out the window to see if anyone is out there. That's her spot when I leave. 

For anyone else who is starting classes today, have an awesome day!

Oh my gosh you guys, the quarter starts this Thursday! My mind is half screaming in terror and half shrieking with excitement!

I am so excited to start though! Here are some tips to make that first day amazing!

1. Pack your backpack the night before. Less hassle when searching for that textbook.

2. Put a few little snacks in your bag (ex. KIND bar or an Erin Baker's Breakfast cookie).

3. Taking the bus? Got an app that tells you the bus schedule? DOWNLOAD IT.

4. Lay your first day outfit out the night before, less stress in finding something to wear the next day.

5. Don't forget your wallet! It's got your cash and student ID in it!

6. Get a good night's sleep the night before, don't want to be cranky in the morning!

Life of a College Student: Accepting Free Things at the Info Fair

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

To be quite honest, I love stuff that is free.  Like, being in college; bills are tight, sometimes there is no time to work, you're always hungry and looking for some sweet deals. The WWU Info Fair is where to go for free stuff and good deals.

I scored 2 plastic cups, two packets of ramen, two things of floss, a mini toothpaste, a toothbrush, a bottle opener, Cheez-its, cookies, a button, coupons, sunglasses, raffle tickets, and event notices! I did also score free deodorant at the Rec. Center, which was pretty awesome.

 I now have a bin under my sink that is holding all my travel items (miniature versions) and extra toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss. I also have a tupperware that holds all the little snack goodies that I got for free. I mean, free food is the best kind of food. Plus, free beauty items like toothbrushes or toothpaste are amazing because you have the little backups so you don't have to buy them at the store.

I actually took MudLynn to the first day of the info fair yesterday and she had so many people pet her and tell me how cute she is. I feel like a proud parent. But, Mud just has that face that says, "I am adorable, pet me."

Up Country Contest

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that MudLynn has been entered in an Up Country Inc. Contest! Please go and vote for her!

Her mommy would greatly appreciate it! It would be a dream come true if she could become a catalog model for Up Country and win a photoshoot, portrait and gift basket.

Barn Dog Extraodinaire

So this past Sunday, I got to work a shift to cover for someone who had a conflict and I decided to take MudLynn with me. And let me tell you, she was fabulous.

She did her thing and went off to sniff the whole place, but she didn't run away or anything. She came when I whistled and called her name. As I turned out horses, she would follow me out to the pasture. She likes being with her mom. MudLynn was great around the horses, too! She would sniff when I opened a door to put a horse out but backed away because they would breathe on her. Although she did go in some of the runs that had horses, but she didn't bug them and they were completely unfazed by her presence. 

As I cleaned stalls and runs, she would either lay in the grass or in one of the runs. She is such a great barn dog. She did get muddy and dirty but I cleaned her up. MudLynn ended up sleeping the rest of the day away on her bed. It was a very busy day. In the end, I love that my trainer lets me take her to work with me.

It's nice to have a furry pup to keep you company as you work.
