Here's to the friends who

Make me feel like I can be myself
Let me mom them
Listen to me vent about my problems
Show me that it's okay to be confident
Go on random adventures
Put up with my horrible long distance communication skills
Tell me when I need to calm myself
Have always been there when I needed them
Were seen with me in my Aerópostale phase
Get excited to make memories with me
Have survived being around me when I get tired
Remind me that it's okay to be different
Will help me with whatever I need
Get as excited as I do about tater tots
And finally,
Stick by me even when I'm not at my best


Here's to my friends, you are the best people I know. I love you and I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I am truly blessed. So here's to you, here's to me, partners in crime we will always be.

    Love this post Emily! There's nothing better in the world than having true friends who care about the REAL you. Hold them close to you always. I always tell my best friend of 12 years since she saw me through my punk skater days, she can see me through anything! I'm sure they appreciate you just as much!

How much lettuce have you eaten?

Image
Have you ever thought about how much lettuce you have eaten over the course of your life? As of yesterday I can say I have. In fact I became so interested in the answer that I came up with a way to figure out your (approximate) lettuce count. Here is what I did. First I found out what the serving size of lettuce is. Since there are so many different kinds I decided to use romaine since it is a good middle ground between iceberg and dark greens and I have eaten a variety. It turns out that a serving size is two cups. There are six cups of torn romaine in one head, and there are about 10 leaves per head. This means that a serving size is actually 1.66 leaves. I approximated that one leaf is broken up into seven pieces, so there are about 23.33 pieces of lettuce per entree salad. Or 11.66 pieces in a side salad. Now for the less complicated part. I would say that between the ages of five and 12 I ate a side salad about twice a week. From the age of 13-20 I would say I eat an e

My Pinterest Problem

Image
Often times I picture my future self-walking into a support group and saying: Hello, my name is Emily and I’m addicted to Pinterest . I’m serious. As a person who loves to create, it is literally my kryptonite when I have free time. I can spend hours looking at DIY’s, recipes, drawing inspiration, workouts I’ll never do, and everything else you can think of. But today I’ve been pondering if my “problem” is actually a problem, and I’ll tell you my reasons for why I think it’s really not. First of all, Pinterest has saved me a ton of money. When I think back over the few years I’ve been active on the website I remember a lot of instances when I needed a quick fix, or a solution to those things that you just can’t avoid in everyday life. It has taught me that paint chips make great (free!) dorm decorations. How to get grease off your shirt when you spill lettuce wraps all over yourself. And even how to keep raspberries fresh for longer. It is my go-to when I run into an eme

First impressions of Periscope

Image
Today I heard about a new social media platform that is becoming increasingly popular. It is called Periscope and it is all about live streaming. Launched and acquired by Twitter in 2015, it has been a hit with much of the online community. When you see the homepage you can understand why, it is completely covered in peoples’ unique experiences and talents. After spending just a few minutes on the website I found numerous videos I wanted to watch. It allows you to go live anytime, anywhere. The videos stay on the site for 24 hours and people can replay and give feedback on it, after a day it is taken down. Accounts can be linked to your Twitter account or you can register with your phone number. I really like this aspect of it because it means that you do not get any extra emails and you do not have to create a password. Though I have not spent much time on Periscope yet I plan to check it out more this weekend. If you have used it before or decide to check it out
