Day in the Life: Jennah's Summer

Hey everyone!
So in continuation of our "Day in the Life" series, (Check out Lacey's day here) this is what a typical day would look like for me this summer.

6:15 Alarm goes off. Hit the snooze button.

6:25 Alarm goes off again. Actually get up this time.

6:25 - 7:50 Eat breakfast, read a Bible verse or two, catch up on emails/texts, pack my lunch and get dressed.

7:50 - 8:00 Drive to work

8:00 - 12:00 Do work stuff. As an accounting intern this summer, I have done things like scan tax returns, answer phones, enter in trial balances, balance financial statements and some auditing tasks like testing cash, payroll, investments and adjusting entries.

12:00 - 12:30 Lunch break. Sometimes I meet up with Aly and we eat lunch together.

12:30 - 4:30 More work stuff'

4:30 - 6:30 Go to the gym (so I can convince myself that I totally deserve that ice cream later)

6:30 - 7:30ish Eat dinner, take a shower, get on my comfy pajamas

7:30 - 10:00 Mess around, play my ukulele, watch youtube/netflix, call my parents, read a book

10:00 Bedtime!


And there you have it, proof that I am a normal "adult" and have a perfectly ordinary life. Every so often I go ride horses in the evening at school with friends, and on weekends I go volunteer at a therapeutic riding center. It's nice to have a consistent schedule, I know my sleep cycle thinks so. Although most of my day is spent at work, those 8 hours are filled with different activities, challenges and learning experience which is super cool and keeps things interesting! I am pretty blessed to have such amazing days this summer.

Celebrate the Holidays with us: Our 4th of July 2018

Hi guys! so we hope your 4th of July was Amazing!!! We all have different ways in how we celebrate the 4th of July and we wanted to share ours with you! So as told best from each of us here are our 4th of July story!

My Favorites: Lacey

My Favorites

Book: Is it really possible to decide? I mean really! Before college I read a lot more than I do now, and the summer gives me more time than the school year (thank goodness for nap time at work right!). Right now my brother and I are doing a The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings marathon and they are pretty good too. I like fiction more than non-fiction but I like when you learn things within the fiction or there is at least a point.

I Slept on the Floor for a Month and this is what I Learned

**NOTE: This does not replace the information provided to you by your doctor or healthcare professionals. This is just my experience and it will be different for each person. If you want to try sleeping on the floor consult your doctor**

YOU DID WHAT?

I first heard about floor sleeping in relation to minimalism and people finding their bed not necessary and getting rid of it. I thought they were crazy and dismissed it. Then i saw an episode of "Try Living with Lucie" where she slept on the floor for five days. Then one of the Youtubers i watch mentioned that she floor sleeps and i decided to watch the video she did on it. Then i watched her entire playlist. Within the playlist there was a video with her Chiropractor and they discussed floor sleeping, its benefits, and how to do it properly. He said not to sleep directly on the floor but to use a foam mattress topper as a layer between you and the floor and to have a tall pillow under your knees to elevate them and help align your back.

30 Lessons We Learned 2nd Year

During our second year at college we have learned both in and out of class. We wanted to share more with you from our second year of school. Last year we wrote about our Freshmen year of college and the lessons we learned then, so if you’re just starting out that post will also help you out! So again in no particular order, here are our list of things we learned our second year of college!

My Favorite Things: Megan

Welcome friends to the inner secrets of my life which are know as some of my favorite things in this life, so please do enjoy getting to know me a little bit better!

Living on My Own!

So this year, my summer job is about 700 miles away from my home in Texas. Which means unless I wanted to make the 12 hour drive everyday to the accounting office, I had to find a place to live for these 3 and a half months. The town is about 30 minutes away from school, but the dorms are closed for the summer. So guess what! I am now living on my own for the first time in a rental house. The cheapest and most reasonable option was to rent an Airbnb. I ended up booking two different places to get the best deal. I am currently living in a pretty nice, fully furnished house in a neighborhood about 10 minutes away from work.

A Day in the Life: Lacey's Summer

Before leaving school we thought it would be a fun idea to do day in the life posts. So this summer we will each take a turn telling you a little bit about what our day is like and today is my turn.

A random Tuesday in summer...

How to Handle Grief in College

Hi Guys! Well for this post, I didn’t know what to talk about, so I thought I would let you into my life a little bit. This post is about how to handle grief in college. In January of this year, my father died from cancer. This threw off my entire year, well and my life. I personally was a mess, on the three-hour car ride home I was playing the should of could of game, I felt dead. I didn’t want to talk to people, I could not remember one good thing I did for my father of what he did for me. All I could think of was what I didn’t do and what I did do that was awful. Don’t play that game, it’s the worst thing you could do to yourself.

---

I personally don’t share my emotions very well, and I hate people seeing me cry it’s the worst feeling in the world. We didn’t have a funeral for him, my father was cremated and his memorial is May 5^th, 2018. It’s different for every family on how they deal with a death of a loved one. I went back to school after four or five days and tried to act like nothing happened. Also, not a good thing, but I did it anyway. I have random moments when I just have some much built up that it all gets let out, which is a good thing let it happen it will make you feel a lot better. I still struggle, when I go home and I’m by myself I can’t really function very well because I think of my dad, but it does get easier. I know it may not seem like it at the time, but it will get better, definitely not all the way better, but you will get there and that in itself is an accomplishment. Talk to your friends, talk to somebody even if it maybe yourself, but don’t degrade yourself to thinking you are nothing and that you can’t be the person you used to be. That will only make you feel worse, always have faith and don’t bottle thinks up. If you ever need anybody to talk to, I’m free to talk just shoot me a comment and I’ll get back to you!
Until the ‘morrow we will speak again
