Leaving Some Spaces Open

There are big things looming in the horizon. Some slightly intimidating and others just plain exciting.

I can't wait to go home next week and enjoy some much needed R&R and see my friends

I haven't seen since August. Also, my roommate and I decorated for Christmas this weekend 

(don't hate us!) so our house is feeling very merry. :)

Something I've realized throughout this semester is how much I should work my absolute hardest

and not worry about the rest. Make those to-do lists, plan out the week, stress a little about 

classes (ok, a lot) but then leave room for mistakes, fun little events, and breathing room. I 

like to think of my to-do lists as guidelines instead of my actual schedule of the day. Whenever

I do make a complete to-do list of the day, I rarely stick to it and end up filling my time with 

moments that I could have never expected to be on my list. 

Life's going to throw some curveballs and it's how we approach them that determines everything else.

Ain't that the truth? So with this busy week ahead jam packed with commitments

and homework assignments/ you name it, I'm going to actively leave some room for those moments

you really can't plan. 

Join me?

Side note: I just found Evelyn's Etsy through Pinterest and I am completely obsessed.

How perfect is the bright pink background against the gold lettering in the 'Enjoy Today' print?
