school...

So I am thinking about changing my major...

Apparently this happens to everybody so Im not too concerned. And technically I have done this one other time. I went to Weber State when I first graduated High School for Laboratory Sciences but after one semester of having to work in a Cadaver lab I decided it just wasnt for me.

Then I started going to the U and I thought, I know! I want to save the world and go into Environmental Studies and Sustainability.

Now Im not sure if its for me. Not because I dont want to save the world because I do, but because its really depressing. Everyday I go to class or every night I read a chapter and I get bombarded with facts about how bad of shape the world is in. Overpopulation, air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, bad politics, oil crisis, energy crisis, etc etc etc. Its a bit overwhelming. And the possible solutions to the problem are almost as confusing as the problems themselves. So what to do?

Yeah I can probably find a career fairly easily in this field, and I would probably never be out of work. But will I really be happy? Am I doomed to a life of trying to convince people to not use plastic bottles and not drive SUV's? I dunno.

I was kind of thinking about going in to Anthropology (the study of mankind/ humanity). Not only does it sound cool but it seems like it would be a good/ similar degree. The only thing I worry about is that its too generic and I wont have any career at all.

I still need to finish out this semester before I make any rash decisions but I have some serious decisions to make. Its not like I can just waste thousands of dollars while deciding what will make me happy. I just wish it was easier to know whats in the future.

Goals.

I am not really into resolutions. I think they are good for some people, but for me they are just another list I make with no real intent to follow through. I decided that I am going to start doing monthly goals though. I need to hold myself accountable for things I do, good or bad. So starting with this month since its coming up really soon, I chose a few goals that are going to be pretty hard but will also teach me a lot and help me in the future.

1) Stop spending money on frivolous things. I go shopping A LOT and I don't have very good restrain when it comes to a good deal or even just something that is cute. I need to remind myself that there will always be a never ending supply of cute things and I dont need to buy this one thing right now. I also need to keep this in mind when it comes to eating out. I never pack a lunch (or breakfast) so I tend to eat at a lot of fast food places or at the kiosk at my work. This will help me save money and make more sensible decisions when it comes to my food.

2) Speaking of eating, my second goal is to Cut out (most) Sugars. Hi. My name is Victoria and I am addicted to sugar. I am totally serious about this, I can't go one day without thinking and usually eating candy, ice cream, donuts, shakes, cookies, etc, etc. I have the worst sweet tooth and I need to get it under control. I know this is going to be really hard but unless I want to have diabetes in a few years I really need to focus on eating more healthy and using sugar only as a treat and special occasion. (Im eating a Snickers bar right now, btw)

3) So there is kind of a theme going one here. My last goal for February will be to Attend at least one "Fitness" class. I always say I want to do one and I always end up just sitting on my ass talking about it. I need to just do it. Find a class and go. It can be either yoga, bikram yoga, step aerobics, pilates, whatever. As long as its something that is getting me off my butt and in motion then that will work for me. Also if any of my friends want to get together and do a dvd or something... I think that will count as a class...

I want to do this photo-challenge for February as well! I think you are supposed to do it on Instagram but I dont want to, haha. And I probably wont post a picture every.single.day but I will take one every day and post them when I can. Its gonna be fun!

Im here, there, everywhere!

I found this blog the other day and I thought it was super cute:

Vegan Housewives

Im not vegan... or a housewife.. but these are two things that I am constantly learning about and will probably always be interested in.

I especially love their recent post of their 2012 goals. I might have to use them for inspiration on some goals I am working on.

I am also currently loving this blog:

Yours Truly

Super cute girl from the UK. I always have wanted to visit there so with this blog I get a little peak of what every day life might be like in such a foreign place.

Also, this blog is one of my all-time favorites:

Design is mine

There probably isn't one post that I haven't absolutlely loved of theirs. It always gives me such good ideas for decorating and expressing myself and my style.

On another note...I have had a slight obsession with things green lately.

T & A

Another awesome bday party is coming up and its going to be so fun! Alex and Trev are going to have the theme "You are what you drink" and I think I am going to be a Pink Rockstar. I thought about being a red bull, but I think the Pink Rockstar might be a little easier.
Here are some inspiration ideas I am starting to gather.






Its gonna be so cool to see what everyone dresses up as!

Getting ready...

Murder mystery party

Tomorrow is Bekky's birthday party and its going to be so fun! I don't know who is getting killed... or who the killer is... my character is Rita Star! I am a socialite/heriess... and new actress! Here is some inspiration I have found on how I want to look.
I am thinking glamour, sassiness, and fabulousness.

Jewelry

Pictures

I want to start taking REAL pictures again. I used my sisters Polaroid camera over the weekend and it was so fun! The surprise of how the picture would turn out and the waiting to see it develop, it was a nice change to the digital cameras of today (even though I still love my digital camera). I am thinking about getting a instant camera though... but I can't decide which one. Here are some of the ones I am considering:

1) Fujifilm Instax Mini 25 ($85)



Amazon

example of pictures:


2) Polaroid 300 ($69)



Amazon

example of pictures:


3) Polaroid 600 (about $40)



Amazon

example of pictures:


The one at the top is probably the best bet because Polaroid film is kind of questionable (especially for #3) But they have the best/most nostalgic pictures that you can take! Im not sure which I will decide on but I for sure want one.

Currently

Usually my tv is being used to watch sports games... but when I get a chance I have been catching up on some Netflix show. This is what I am currently watching.

Self improvement

I found this on another blog and thought it was a really good read.
