What THON Means to Me.
I shared the following note on Facebook almost exactly a year ago. Since THON this past weekend, I’ve been trying to put into words how I feel, and I’m still working on it. For now, though I wanted to share this, because after reading it, I’ve realized that I still feel the same way.
In general, I’m not one of those pour-out-your-feelings-in-a-Facebook-note type of people,...

Why I THON.
I THON for love, for hope, for courage, wisdom, honesty and strength. I THON for the families and the patients, for those who have been affected by cancer and for those whom cancer has taken from us. I THON for the many children whom I never had the opportunity to meet but who have inspired me nonetheless. I THON to show the children and families that something beautiful can come out of something...

Why You Shouldn't Hate Valentine's Day.
Call me an idealist, but I’ve never understood why people hate Valentine’s Day. It’s one thing if you don’t celebrate it; that’s fine. Not everyone is required to celebrate every holiday. But what I can’t understand is pure hatred of the holiday. I just don’t get how anyone can hate a holiday that’s all about celebrating the single greatest thing in...

Everything's THON and Nothing Hurts.
Seriously though, I am on SUCH a THON high right now. I learned the line dancer earlier and I’ve been reciting the parts that I remember to myself in my head and getting giddier with each minute! Immediately after returning to my dorm from learning the line dance, I compiled the lyrics I could remember and posted them the wall of my committee’s Facebook group. A few minutes later, my...

“Anna, I think you are one of the most amazing people in this world. You have such a huge heart and are always there for people no matter what. Thanks for being there for me even though I’m quite the misanthrope.”
This is legitimately the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me, and it was completely out of nowhere. All I can say is wow, I really do have the best friends.

Okay. Deep Breath.
So after finding myself stressed and a little lost at school for the past couple of weeks, I came home for the weekend. I was expecting a relaxing weekend of driving and photography and seeing some good friends, and I was pretty pumped. Then I got home, and everything fell to pieces.
It started out well enough. My dog greeted me at the door and jumped all over the place and immediately upon...

I didn’t even initially plan to go home this weekend, but my brother planned something he wanted me to come home for that ended up falling through. I decided to go home anyways though and I can’t wait… I’m going to dig out my tripod and take some pictures in a new environment and drive around with the sunroof open in the freezing cold and sing until my throat burns and feel...

I need to get my shit together.
On the bright side, I just dropped my most stressful class so I can take it next semester (when I HAVEN’T overscheduled classes) instead. I had to waste some of my late drop credits on it, but still… a la la la I feel so free.

Holy shit.
I spent far too much money last semester. I mean… I am seriously hemorrhaging money. The sad thing is, I never saw it coming because I never spend more than ten dollars on anything. But all of those tiny little purchases and bus rides to Walmart and breakfasts at the Waffle Shop have really started to take a toll on my savings account. If I keep spending money on stuff I don’t really...
