Mundane Sundays

It's another moderately cold sunday here in San Antonio, Texas. Our winters consist of 2-3 weeks of actually cold weather and the rest of the winter months are in my opinion probably the best days spent in texas. I myself am not a hot weather girl but I sure do love these 60's and 70's days.

I have been contemplating a few different topics for this blog here, I am still not sure what direction this will be taking but I am going to do my best to try and have a new topic (or ramble) at least twice a week. There are a few new things that have made my way into my life that will probably be covered a good amount of the time for the next few months so a good introduction for each might be in store.

First off, I am in my Senior year as an Entrepreneurship Major. This semester we will be starting a business and have to make profit by the end of the semester. My life has always been a pretty easy life, yet I know that there are a lot of people out there that have had many struggles and difficulties in their lives. I have always had an interest in Social Enterprises, I want to leave behind a legacy of giving back to the world that has been so good to me so far. This semester I finally get to give back to the community that I am apart of.

This semester a few other ENT students and I are going to be putting together an online Charity Fashion Show!! I am absolutely ecstatic to be able to finally work on a project that will potentially give me a chance to give back more than I have been able to as well as to hopefully make an impact! We are still looking around to see which charity we will be promoting or if we are going to start one ourselves, there are soo many charities that barely give back to the cause that they are promoting. Before you give to a charity, you should research into their finances so that you know how much of their money actually go to the cause. You will be floored by the amount of well known charities keep more money than they give.

I also plan on completely re-vamping this entire blog! I will have a new name, new look, and new design! Most likely I will be getting a new web page address as well, not that there are many people who actually read this but incase there are a few who might click across my page, expect a new much more appealing design for my future post.

Year of the Snake

  

So we just had the new years a few weeks ago, in the gym and fitness industry this is our busiest time of the year since so many want their new years resolution to be "to get into shape"! We will have such a rush for the first 4-5 weeks and than they start dropping off slowly but surely. At the end of 2 or 3 months we would be lucky if we retained 35% of the new years resolutioner's. I decided that these people were not creative enough in picking their resolutions for 2013, everyone wants that Victoria Secret Angel's body but do they really want to completely cut out all carbs and live off veggies, fruit and protein while working out 6 days out of the week? These girls are paid to have good bodies soo that is literally their job to keep in amazing shape or else they are unemployed like a lot of us now a days.

So my resolution was simple. This year I will be a better friend, take more pictures, and not be afraid of taking risk. In general, I wanted to add to the points in my life that I feel are most important to me but could use a little risk. Yes I would LOVE to look like those girls by the end of the year, but will that leave me with a year full of adventures? Will I look back and remember the memories or all the carbs and sweets that I have been missing out on? I want to enrich my life with experiences and moments and that is what I plan to do!

Of all the Chinese symbols, I am the snake. I was always a little disappointed of being the snake and some what jealous of my cousin's symbol as he got to be the awesome dragon and I was the snake, that scary thing you hope you never find by surprise. I was getting my caffeine fix right after the new year and for the first time I saw that Starbucks was carrying "year of the snake" gift cards, I had nooo idea that each year featured a chinese symbol and of all the years for them to feature a symbol, it was my symbol that they featured! So this year, I am going to embrace everything that I might not love about me and whats in my life and it will be my year! It will be the year of the snake!

In summary of all this rambling, I am hoping to use this blog to help document with my new new year resolution, I'm not sure if there will be anyone interested in following the rambling of a 23 year old with no idea where she is going but I feel that the path to fate is half the fun! I will be trying to do lots of DIY, Baking, and traveling this year so hopefully I can learn a lot of new things that I can share with the World Wide Web. And hopefully  by the end of the year I will learn how to write a bit better!
