Just Call Me Tinker Bell
“Athens was our home for four years and our most important four years of our lives thus far. I learned so much about myself these past 4 years. I met best friends who became enemies, enemies who became best friends, I hooked up with random people, I failed, I succeeded, I fell in love. I raised two dogs there, I had a job, a passion, and a duty. I learned how to lead America’s finest...

And Suddenly, It's Time To Move On
It was a race to the finish line.
For the past three and a half years, I was full speed ahead. I couldn’t wait to see what else was next, what surprises waited around the corner, and where this great adventure was taking me. I’ve been counting down to every momentous occasion, because while I was excited to see where I was going, I was also tired of the boring, tedious, day to day...

Everything Inbetween: Leave a girl alone →
kaitlyngansor:
in a vanilla caramel spice scented, dimly lit, warm room, on her bed, back against the wall, mumford and sons as well as lana del rey’s voice soft in the background. I promise you’ll find her later so buried and lost in her mind, thoughts, ideas, and feelings that you won’t recognize her. Don’t…

The Dream City.
And by stories to come, I certainly meant that you’ll have to wait weeks for any confessions. Woops.
We rolled in around 1AM after a long car ride and plenty of story time in a nearly broken car. Faye brought us up into her adorable apartment, got us all snuggled in, and we fell right asleep. In the morning, we got around, and got our first glimpse of NYC in the daylight. It was amazing....

New York, New York
I actually did it. I really got in my car, drugged my friend, and went to NYC. Ok yeah. I didn’t drug him. I did drag him along though! At 4pm on a Friday with the following Monday off school, we loaded up the car and away we went. About five miles down the road, we hit car trouble. In hindsight, it probably wasn’t the safest thing to say “Screw it!” and keep going. But...
Do You Think Of Me?
Do you? Because I think of you.
When things are quiet and I have no thoughts, my mind wanders to you. Not to anything in particular, just you. The way we laugh, the way we talk, the way we’re best friends. The way you bring out a side in me that no one else sees. The way you make me so mad sometimes, and five minutes later I’m laughing again. How comfortable it is spending time...

We're All A Little Vain Sometimes.
Instead of studying for my final that’s in ten short hours, I’m going to post. Because it’s what I do best when I’m supposed to be studying.
I was just looking through my profile pictures on Facebook. (It’s been an emotional kind of night.) All 80 of them. Comparing and contrasting, trying to see things that other people might or might not see. And as I neared...

The Levels of Jess
For all those who like to push me, here is an indicator of how you’re doing.
My Personalized Stress-o-Meter.
Level 1: I’ll be spotted picking at my face and eating lots and lots of food. In this particular level, I’m not actually stressed. It’s just the days building up and I’m probably more tired than usual. And I’ll probably post something on tumblr...
And here we are again
Same table as Tuesday…but the squirrels aren’t nesting. I’m here early. And my exam is actually at 3.
Oh yeah. That exam at 2 on Tuesday? It was actually at 11. I realized that right after I wasted (way too long) blogging.
So here I sit, once again. With a coffee, blueberry streusel muffin, and a monster. It shall be an interesting six hours…
So This Is A Story All About How...
Ok my life didn’t get turned upside down. But my day, thus far, has just been whack.
I had to wake up extra early today. Instead of the usual 5:27, it was 4:47. Nope. Jess slept through two alarms and was up at 5:01 instead. What’s with the weird numbers? You see, I have this perfect balance figured out. I know exactly how long it takes me to get out of bed, put my hair up (this...
Why I Run, Part 2.
Back in September, I posted a status on Facebook about running. It was as follows:
I run because I have good days. I run to lighten the bad days. I’m not that good at it, and I’m not even all that consistent. But I’m doing it. And I’m determined. And for that reason, I’m proud.
Every once in a while, I forget why running is important. People tell me to, people...
The Innocence Of It All
I work from 5:15-9:45 on Monday nights. It is absolutely awful. My job is great, and I can’t complain about it.
I get paid to sit at the front desk and interact with people while I listen to music and work on homework (AKA Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr…the likes). It’s always interesting to me, though, to see the stages that walk through the doors of the Aquatic Center.

Under Pressure
I hope you read that like the song… “Unda Pressa!”
Anyways. So today in military science we talked about having to make decisions as a leader. And not just “What should I eat for breakfast” decisions. But more along the lines of potential life and death decisions.
Come to find out, the first leadership role I’ll be in involves a lot. (I act like I...

I wanted to say in the spirit of something. I guess it doesn’t fit here. Anyway, I need to start writing again. So I’m going to try to channel Daily Grace and pick a topic for every day.
Sunday - Song Dedication Day, where I pretend I’m not myself for five seconds and dedicate a song to Jess.
Monday - Feeling of the day, where I either express the...

For the last two (ish) weeks, I’ve been listening to the new Mumford and Sons CD on YouTube, because for some reason my iTunes won’t register my payment. It’s rather frustrating. I had to get a new debit card because my last one was old and decrepit, and now it’s saying my security code is invalid. I sometimes have a mild case of dyslexia, but it’s pretty hard to...

I won’t be home for long, but while I am, we MUST get together!!!
My greatest sadness right now is that I don’t have my camera here with me. It’s obnoxiously inconvenient.
But I can’t wait to see you!!!! Tell everyone hello :)
