Love Quotes

Being in love definitely brings out the sappy side of me, and some of these quotes perfectly capture those amazing feelings! 

I love this quote, since I am stunned how quickly time passes, and even if you haven't been dating for very long, it already feels like it's been the most important part of your life. And the smiles, laughs, and kisses are some of the best moments. :)

I am always amazed by the hours spent with someone you love pass by in what seems to be mere minutes.

Simple, but true. It is the greatest thing ever!

Life becomes the greatest adventure of all. Whatever it is or will be, I am excited for it! 

 Cuddling is my favorite, so yes! Especially in the winter months :)

I love love love this image and think the choice to make it black and white added to the charm and made it more whimsical!

Sometimes I feel as though I could write a novel with all of the happy thoughts and feelings that are going through my head, and yet other times I feel completely speechless because I am so amazed!

Perhaps this can justify the lack of sleep because I am thinking about him or spending time with him? Just kidding, but the real deal blows any illusion, dream, or storyline out of the water.

I love that feeling of loving someone unconditionally, and just adoring every little bit of them, regardless of the scenario or anything else. Everything about them becomes adorable, amazing, and inspiring, and just draws me even closer to them.

With that, I want to wish all of you the greatest feelings of love and happiness in the coming year, since you deserve nothing less! And this is officially my last post of 2012!

Quotes for the New Year

Now that a new year is nearly upon us, I feel like it is a great chance to reflect on what has occurred in the past year and think about what we hope we will accomplish in the year ahead. As we prepare for a whole new set of amazing experiences and great opportunities, here are a few thoughts that, to me, help remind us what is most important as well as staying true to ourselves and trusting what we stand for. 

Happy New Year to you! I hope it is all that you hope for!

I also wanted to thank not only my loyal readers, but also those who have somehow happened on this blog! I have just reached 8,000 pageviews! It has been a lot of fun writing about random things, and knowing there are people out there, all around the world, who are reading! Thank you!! :)

Why I Have the Greatest Sister Ever

Hello! As the year is winding down, I typically find myself in a very reflective mood and think about a wide variety of things. Actually, I guess I always find myself reflective about a lot of things, somewhere in the crazyness of my brain. Anyway, I realized (once again) that I have the greatest, most amazing sister in the world, and also that I haven't posted about her, even though I have posted about both of my parents on specific holidays.

As a whole, here's the deal about my sister, Lizzie. She is completely awesome! She is a real sweetheart, but also says the funniest things. I love talking to her about lots of random stuff, getting fashion advice from her, sharing music, and being completely silly and crazy.

I feel like this is Lizzie and I sometimes! :)

What is so great about Lizzie is that I always can count on her and trust her, and I always feel so proud of all her accomplishments. She isn't always as vocal about some these accomplishments and is definitely more humble than I am, so when I do discover over and over again how great she is, I am just blown away! She really means so much to so many people, even people she doesn't even know personally. It excites me to have the honor of being her sister, and I can't wait to see where this journey of life will take her! She honestly deserves the world, and nothing less, and I want her to know that.

Lizzie, keep up all of your great work, and continue making this world a brighter place and inspiring people every day! Keep your heart open, because I know you have so much love to give and share with this world! Stay beautiful both on this inside and out! Thank you for being the greatest sister I could have ever imagined.

And, for a special treat, I have included two images that no one, besides Lizzie, will understand. However, since I know she reads this blog, I know that they will make her laugh, and it is truly a gift whenever she smiles!

I love you Lizzie!!

Gandhi's Top 10 Fundamentals for Changing the World

My Green U Presentation!

Hello everyone! I cannot believe that it is already December 18th, where did this year go?! Anyway, my Green U presentation was just uploaded on the Teens Turning Green Youtube page, so I have included the video below!
Note: some of the awkward pauses are me struggling with the powerpoint clicker, which had a tendency of moving forward or backward with a mind of its own. :)

It was such an honor to be chosen as a Project Green Challenge finalist, and this weekend truly changed my life! I can't wait to work more with the organization in the future, as well as post more about the experience over the upcoming days now that my finals are over!

Have a delightful day!

Green U Update!

Hello everyone! They are beginning to post the videos from the student presentations during Green University. This is my friend Alyssa, who did an amazing job with spoken word poetry.

Same Love

Hello all! I found this music video to be so heartwarming and beautiful, so I had to share it! I hope you check it out! The song is called "Same Love" by Macklemore.

My experience at Green U!

Hello everyone! I know it has been quite a while since I have posted, but I just wanted to give a brief overview of my experience with Green U, the culmination of Project Green Challenge with the 14 finalists! Overall, this weekend was life changing and one of the best of my entire life! I loved nearly every minute of it and it has inspired me so much! Basically, I will have lots of different posts about it in the upcoming days/weeks, but I thought I would include a few pictures in the meantime!

 On Friday after we flew in, we had our eco-makeovers, and my roommate during the weekend, Anna, and I took a picture together! She was the best (and won second place in the event...she blew me away!)

 Some of the finalists after our eco-makeovers! From left to right... Kristen, Annie, Anna, Alyssa, Grayson, me, Alison, Natalie, Tavneet, and Ruthie! I love these people!

 A lot of the ladies with our Green U shirts and posing with Mr. Eco!

We were able to do a touch of sightseeing on Saturday night after a day full of inspiring speakers and discussions, so here is a photo of many of the finalists at Ghirardelli Square.

There will be much more to come! I hope all is well!
