And I'm Back....Merry Christmas!

I know, I know. "Where the hell have you been, Lis?" Well, reader, I've been stuck in a writer's block. After the semester ended, I could not find anything I wanted to write about so I just laid back and waited for something interesting to happen. Then I thought, my life is interesting. I'm 21 and trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do with my future. To me, that's interesting. Sure, there are lots of 20 something year old's with this same exact issue, but there's only one me. (Unless, of course, I have a long lost twin...or a dopple ganger.) Nonetheless, I just wanted to write something. That's why I started this blog anyway, to write about what's going on in my life. I wasn't intending for this blog to be structured or on one certain topic. I just wanted it to be my sort of "diary" as my dad called it once, but without getting intimately personal. Who knows, maybe one day I will get really personal but for right now, it's as if this blog and I are still getting to know each other. We haven't reached the "friend" tier yet. We're more like good acquaintances. This blog and I are at that stage in a growing friendship where we have exchanged numbers and are now playing "20 questions" so that we can get to know each other. (Don't act like you've never done that.) 

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, here's what's happened since winter break started. I have spent countless hours on Netflix. See, Netflix and I have reached the "best friend" tier, as I assume a lot of people have reached. I, like most humans, enjoy watching tv shows and movies and since I passed all of my classes, I feel like I deserved to binge watch shows this past week. Since I have become an expert in movies filed under the "Independent" section, I thought I'd share some of my favorites: In A World staring Lake Bell, Short Term 12 starring Brie Larson, Girl Most Likely starring Kristen Wiig, and Now is Good starring Dakota Fanning. Seriously guys, these movies deserve to be watched. If you're looking for a T.V. show to binge on, I think you should start watching Parks and Recreation because Amy Poehler and United States of Tara because slam-bam-oh-hot-damn that's a great show. 

Before you start judging me, no, I haven't spent the past week only watching Netflix. I went outside once in awhile too. Actually, I spent basically my whole weekend in a place other than my house. This past weekend, myself and a group of my closest friends exchanged Secret Santa gifts. Instead of giving only my secret santa giftee a present, I decided to give all of my friends a painting of their very own! I had a lot of fun making them but silly me forgot to take pictures of the completed work before giving them out. With that being said, I will post the pictures as soon as I get them all! I just hope they all really loved it!

 The night ended with me losing my phone for all of 5 minutes, Super Smash 8 and the cashing in of a "slap bet." Yup, we are a younger version of How I Met Your Mother. It was a fun weekend and although they weren't in anyway my secret santa, Bryan and Amberley got me the one thing that I practically broke down in tears for, TARDIS String Lights. YES. My friends are amazing. I will insert picture below: 


They are SO beautiful. Since we are on the topic of Christmas, I will be spending the holiday with my handsome man and his family. I am hoping to eat lots of food but I already know that once I see all the food, I will literally only have one plate and then Taco will ask me every 10 minutes if I am still hungry!

I hope everyone has a super great Christmas! And if you don't celebrate it, then I hope you just have a great day! I hope everyone has a safe trip if you plan on travelling anywhere and I hope you feel all warm and fuzzy this week! Hopefully, you were all good this year because Santa isn't kidding around with that Naughty and Nice list! 

Until Next Time, 
Lis.










Yesterday afternoon, I found out that one of my teachers from high school had passed away. Mr. Trebbe, you will be missed by so many. You were a great educator and you will not be forgotten. Jeopardy will never be the same for me as I am sure it will never be the same for any of my fellow peers. You helped make sophomore year a meaningful one and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from you. Thanks for putting up with my younger self. Rest In Peace.
