Brr! It's Cold Out Here!

Hey yall! I don't know about where you're from, but here in Kentucky it's been like a constant freezer for the past few weeks and it won't defrost! It's so cold! For some of you, you may think that 2 inches of snow and -9 degrees weather is nothing. Here in Kentucky we're not used to living in an ice cold tundra. We've had class everyday except for we had one 2 hour delay and we had one day where classes were canceled after 4 pm (which only affected one of my classes). Last night I was walking from my car to my dorm, and I thought my nose was going to fall off or something. Not cool! I'm just sick of having to bundle up like an Eskimo everyday. A few days my fingers had that stinging, burning numbness and I thought for sure hypothermia was setting in. I like to live by the rule of if the temperature is less than my age then I don't wanna go outside. The president of our college sent out an email and pretty much said our education was too important to cancel classes and that the salt they were putting down wasn't melting the ice. What the heck?! I would rather cancel classes than become frost bitten cuz of the weather! Sadly, I went to all my classes though and toughed the snow and ice. I guess the only good thing about this weather is that I have an excuse to wear scarves and hats and sweaters. There's my bit of positivity and the end of my rant.

This week my list will consist of songs that remind me of winter:

1. "Sweater Weather" by The Neighborhood
2. "Sweater Song" by Hedley
3. "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?" from Frozen
4. "Baby It's Cold Outside" by Kurt and Blaine from Glee (my favorite version)
5. "Let It Go" by Demi Lovato
6. "Let It Go" by Idina Menzel from Frozen
7. "Winter Wonderland" by Bing Crosby
8. "Wake Me Up" by Avicii (just cuz I love this song)
9. "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson (makes me feel like staying inside)
10. "Counting Stars" by One Republic (not winter or coldness but a great song still)

That's it for this blog! Hop yall have a great week and I'll talk to you the next time I remember to do one of these things.

Happy 2014!!!!! (Plus Update)

Hey yall! Sorry I haven't been on here in what seems like forever! I have been super busy with everything. Christmas and New Year were great. Encounter was AMAZING! I'm back at school after working all break. I cut and died my hair back to brown (goodbye ginger!). Oh! I also found out yesterday I passed my Praxis I exam to get into the education program! Yeah that's pretty much where I have been. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! I can't believe it's already 2014! Things have been so chaotic and tiring that I have barely had time to do anything about it. Hopefully things will calm down for the most part this semester before I head to New York for a month this summer for summer project (did I fail to mention that earlier?). God has revealed things in my life and have showed me who and what I need in my life in order to keep my eyes focused on Him, and it has made me feel SO much better! This year is gonna be a new start. This is a new me and I couldn't be any more excited to see what God has in store for me! So that is where I'm at this point in my life: I'm just following God and living life the best I can, which means getting rid of the negative and focusing on bettering myself.

This week I don't have a playlist, but I have a artist recommendation. At Encounter there was a guy named Matt Papa who lead our praise and worship every morning, and he really inspired me both musically and spiritually. I encourage you to look him up on YouTube and watch his videos. My favorites are "The Story of God" (which is where he does basically spoken word and tells the story of God summed up in  10 minutes) and "The Ocean" (which is a beautiful song!). Go check him out at www.youtube.com/MattPapaTV. I promise you won't regret it.

I hope yall have a fantastic week, and I'll try to post more.
