Current student at the University of Kansas.
Three good things that happened to me today would be:
1. I got to go to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City with my boyfriend and 5 of my closest friends. We spent the morning/afternoon riding rides and just having tons of fun.
2. While at Worlds of Fun, I played arcade games and won a two bouncy balls and a ring. Those may sound like really cheesy prizes, but I just love winning games and getting rewarded.
3. When I got home, my parents had informed me that they had eaten Indian food for dinner since I wasn't home. I was kind of bummed out until they told me that they were nice and brought me back a serving of buttered chicken (my favorite!). It was so sweet of them and I just love my parents to death.
Three good things that happened to me today would be:
1. I took my test in education class today and we graded it before the class time was over. I got 100% :)
2. I finished the 4 assignments I had due tonight for Human Geography and got 3 1/2 pages done of my Psychology paper due next week. So it's been a productive night and it makes me feel good!
3. My friend Bailey saw that I was really caught up in working on my homework and so she went and bought me my favorite Raspberry Lemonade from the Studio for me to drink while studying. It was so thoughtful of her!
Three good things that happened to me today:
1. I wasn't feeling good this morning, so my friends Alex and Chris brought me lunch. They went out of their way to do so, and I am very grateful for it!
2. I was able to get Chipotle later in the afternoon which definitely made me feel better. When I don't feel good, I love to get my favorite food to make my self feel better.
3. I was able to apply for some jobs online for this summer. I need money and finally had some time to fit in applying everywhere...now I just have to wait and see if I get any of them!
3 good things that happened to me this Sunday would be:
1. My dad let me sleep in this morning because he knew I had a long day yesterday from going to orientation. This was good because I don't get to sleep in very often, so I'm so happy I did!
2. I managed to clean the entire downstairs of my house and now the lawn in the afternoon. This was good because I earned some money from mowing the lawn while also making my parents happy by cleaning the downstairs. A two-for-one deal!
3. I got to spend the rest of the night with my boyfriend playing tennis, grabbing dinner, and watching a movie. This was just the perfect ending to the perfect day because it was just so laid back and fun!
Three good things that happened to me this Saturday would be:
1. I went to Transfer Student Orientation with my boyfriend (he'll be attending KU with me next year), and while there I learned things about the University that I didn't know before. It was awesome!
2. Since we were up late last night and then got up early this morning, after orientation we came back and took a nap. Words cannot describe how wonderful that was. I love taking naps because it makes me feel refreshed to take on the rest of the day!
3. Finally, we came back to Olathe and I got to spend some quality time playing with my puppies. They're probably one of the main things that I miss the most about being up at college... Just being around them makes me happy and I just love them to death!
Three good things that happened to me this Friday would be:
1. My boyfriend was able to make it up and visit me in Lawrence. This was nice because I haven't seen him all week and he came to see me in Lawrence for once instead of me going back to Olathe.
2. We went to dinner at the Hibachi Grill. It's a huge, all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet and it was wonderful because I was reallyyyy craving Chinese food. This was also nice because I don't get to go there unless it's a special occasion due to it being more of the expensive side.. :)
3. I got to hang out with my friends that I haven't seen all semester (because I've been so busy/go home every weekend). This was nice because I haven't hung out with them in a long time and so we played video games, went and played some basketball, and then picked up pizza on the way back to their dorm to watch "Taken" starring Liam Neeson. So much fun!
Three good things that happened on this Monday would be:
1. I woke up and left the house early enough this morning to where I could get McDonald's pancakes before they switched over to lunch. This was awesome because I have been craving them for the past week and a half but was never able to get them!
2. My best friend Ashley and I went back to the sports store on Mass Street to see if they still had the Final Four t-shirt that I had seen last week. After thinking about it all weekend, I decided I wanted to get it. When we got there, however, they only had 2XL and 3XL t-shirts left... Luckily, they still had the shirt in youth sizes. I was able to buy the youth large because it fit! It was a happy coincidence :)
3. My mom had secretly packed some hummus and pita bread chips into my bag before I left, so it was a nice little surprise to find and munch on while studying. She always does little things like that and I just love her to death!
Three good things that happened to me today would be:
1. I got to sleep in until 11 o'clock this morning. This was wonderful because I've been running on 5 hours of sleep each night for the past 3 days or so due to school work.
2. All of my classes for tomorrow (Friday) were cancelled, so I got to go home for the weekend early! I got to spend time with my family and boyfriend which always puts me in a fantastic mood.
3. Lastly, my boyfriend and I had gone to Target just to look around after dinner. I found out that the book series I read this past summer had released a new book. I was so excited, but I didn't have enough money to buy it. My boyfriend refused to let me leave the store without getting it, so he bought it for me. Absolutely made my day!
Three good things that happened to me today would be:
1. My Education class partner and I went to our last day of Field Experience this morning observing a fifth grade class. This was really sweet because all of the kids were sad that we were leaving and wanted us to keep coming back. Some even wanted us to become teachers right away and to teach their sixth grade classes next year because they liked us so much! This made me feel so good.
2. As I was walking back to the dorms after class, my friends Makena and Alex were being picked up by their mom to go get smoothies. They saw me and told me to hop into the car. Their mom treated me to a smoothie and it just made my day better!
3. I went to buy a Final Four shirt at Mass Street today because I really wanted one. Once we got there, it turned out that the long sleeve Final Four t-shirts were on sale for $10 and so I got a great deal! It was awesome :)
Three good things that happened to me today would be:
1. I got the entire dorm room cleaned and vacuumed today. This was good because I finally had the time to buckle down and get everything done.
2. I got to go to dinner with my two best friends Ashley and Laura. This was good because I got to have girl bonding time since I've been hanging out with my boyfriend and his friends a lot recently.
3. Brittney gave me some of her leftover Girl Scout cookies. This was awesome because I've been craving them like crazy the past couple of days and she just decided to give them to me out of the kindness of her heart!
Three good things that happened to me this Thursday are:
1. I got to go to Glenwood Ridge Elementary School in order to do my Field Experience for my Education class. This was exciting because the kids and fellow teachers really warmed up to my partner and I and started asking for our help and to answer questions
2. My best friend who moved to Missouri last year randomly texted me today and updated me about his life. The fact that he just thought he'd check in and see how I was totally brightened my day!
3. I'm really sick with a cold right now and feel absolutely miserable. My best friend Laura went out of her way to drive me to CVS to get some medication. I feel a little bit better and that's all thanks to her doing that favor for me!
Three good things that happened to me this Wednesday.
1. I got to take a nap in the middle of the day which made it to where I was wide awake later that night to take a test and finish my homework. I don't usually get to take one because my schedule is so busy, so it was really refreshing.
2. I got some Raspberry Lemonade to drink while studying. My best friend Ashley saw I was stressed and so she ran down to the Studio and got me some. I don't know what I'd do without her!
3. I took my Psychology test online and got a 90%. This was good because my re-reading and intense studying paid off!
Three good things that happened to me on this lovely Tuesday would be:
1. I went to the cardiologist to get a sonogram of my heart and to take a stress test this morning. This was good because they found that my heart looked healthy and that they didn't see anything wrong.
2. The weather stopped raining in time for me to mow the lawn later in the afternoon. I get paid to mow, so it was definitely a plus that I was able to fit it in!
3. I got to hang out with my boyfriend for the rest of the night. I always feel good when I get to hang out with him, and we watched Friends (one of my favorite TV shows) so I was in just an all around good mood.
Three good things that happened to me to day would be:
1. I was on time to class after driving back to Lawrence from Olathe. This was only possible because my dad had woken me up on time for me to get up and out of the house after my morning alarm failed to go off.
2. I really enjoyed my lunch today too. Since I needed to get back to Lawrence ASAP, I had skipped breakfast and gone to my 2 classes without eating anything. This made getting my 2 roast beef sandwiches at the Studio this afternoon absolutely fantastic, especially since roast beef is my favorite kind of sandwich!
3. I went over to my boyfriends house and met his extended family for the first time. This was good because I got to bond with his family over the KU game (which is why this post was so late) and get to know them better. It was also nice because they really seemed to like me!

Three good things that happened to me today would be:
1. My mom surprised me with a new bathing suit for this summer. I'm really picky when it comes to things like that, but she did fantastic and I absolutely love it! It was so thoughtful.
2. I got a Coca-cola Slurpee today. They remind me of when I was a kid because I would get them all the time, so it was a major flashback! It was crazy!
3. My parents picked up some pizza and then we all headed over to my sisters house for dinner. We all got to hang out and bond as a family. This was really nice because we don't get to get together very often since I'm at college and my sister is newly married. I love my family!
