Green Stairway to the Sky

Scheduled to be up and running this summer, the Mercedes House by Ten Arquitectos will provide a fresh new look to the bustling streets of Midtown Manhattan. With spectacular views of De Witt Clinton Park and the Hudson River, the building zig zags vertically and diagonally to preserve city side streets.

The massive 1.3 million sq ft structure features 865 residential units, commercial and storage spaces, a neighborhood market, health club, horse stables for the NYPD, and of course, a state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz dealership.

Disappointments are just God’s way of saying: “I’ve got something better”’ Be patient, live life, have faith.

I would have never believed this before I came to Arizona. When I think about the way I cried and said there wasn’t any school I wanted to go to more than USF… Some of my friends told me I would end up where where I was supposed to be and I didn’t believe them. Here I am at ASU and now I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. I know in my heart this is where I’m supposed to be.

God is good. All the time.

New month’s resolutions: February edition. It’s all about discipline.

So I didn’t really make new year’s resolutions this year. I mean, I never really keep them anyway and I really even remember them this year. Then this past weekend, I declared via twitter that my late new year’s resolutions were “Just to do me. It’s all about doing well in school, eating better, hitting the gym harder, being happy.”

I think those are all solid resolutions, and that I do need to make some significant changes this year if I want to reach my full potential, be truly happy, and show up all those fuckers who I’ve come to hate over time. However I also think that new year’s resolutions are fairly pointless, and that it wouldn’t hurt to go a more manageable route. Cue new month’s resolutions. At the end of every month, I’m going to reflect on the past month and what I did well and what I sucked at and come up with some goals and resolutions to make the next month better.

So, here goes February…

1) No alcohol. I decided this early into the past weekend after a particularly awful Thirsty Thursday, and as a result, checking my bank account on Sunday evening was actually not unpleasant. This will also save me not only money, but empty calories from alcohol and the late night meals that usually follow a night of drinking. Plus if I’m not as concerned with going out, I’ll have more time to do health-related things like hiking and running and shit.

2) Eating healthier. No going out to eat more than once a week.

3) Doing all my homework and going to all my classes. February alone is a good solid 4 week chunk of the semester and if I can just focus and work hard through it, that can affect my grades really positively.

4) Working out in some way every day. Going to the SRC, working out at Vista with Robyn, hiking Camelback with Brooke, free personal trainer sessions and zumba/pilates classes at the West campus… there’s so many options. I just need to do it and not be lazy.

5) Sleeping earlier and longer. I want to go to bed earlier, wake up earlier, and feel better rested.

Here’s what it should look like: I’m following a bunch of the guys who are on ASU’s football team or were and are now training for the NFL draft. They’re all pretty motivational with the #PositiveLiving tags and how disciplined they are. I will wake up every morning at my first alarm, even if I want to stay in bed, and get up and make a healthy breakfast and then get ready for the day. I will be on time and fully prepared for all my classes or work and generally be disciplined AF. I will pay attention in class and not dick around on my laptop, even if the lectures are kind of boring. I will come home at the end of the day and make a healthy dinner, work out (if I haven’t already), and get all my work done, and sleep so I can wake up the next morning and do it all again. I will not waste my time worrying about making someone happy if they won’t spend their time helping me to be happy, and I certainly won’t waste time dating or hanging out with any guys I don’t absolutely like.

Beggin On Your Knees - Victoria Justice

Cheesy? Yes. Not quite age appropriate for a 22 year old to be relating to? Sure. But is it awesome theme song material? Why yes, yes it is.

This one goes out to my big ex (the one who influenced a good three years of my life), all my ex friends, and everyone else who I hate and no longer associate with. I’M GONNA HAVE YOU CRAWLING LIKE A CENTIPEDE

I took a personal day.

I know, it’s early in the semester… but I just felt I needed one. Going to attempt to focus long enough to get my leadership homework, biology review questions, and spring training cover letter done. And then be motivated enough to get on my bike and ride to the SRC and work out. And then be disciplined enough to come back home and get more work done, not eat anything particularly unhealthy, and then go to bed at a reasonable hour and break this cycle of being exhausted.

I have more to vent about life recently, but I think first I’m gonna take care of business.

what the efffff.

No idea why I’m awake right now, but my mind is running a mile per minute. As usual. Thinking about crazy irrelevant future shit, like grad school and my exact schedule of classes for the next 5 semesters and imagining what cities I might live in after college and fantasizing about my future husband and babies… basically CRAZY SHIT, considering you know, I’m 22, have never had a serious relationship, and am only one semester into my time at a big public research university.

And yet, my brain keeps going. I only have a week from tomorrow left here in Pleasanton before I’m road tripping back to Tempe and starting spring semester and going back to work. I wanna enjoy it and spend time with my family and friends. I don’t know why I’m getting lost in my head thinking about things that are so far off, but it’s something I do fairly constantly.

Going to pass the eff out now, so I can TRY and get up at a reasonable hour tomorrow.
