capri sun mango strawberry popsicles

i have become addicted to pinterest.com, this awesome awesome website with countless cool ideas. one of these ideas was a recipe for popsicles. using capri sun and sliced fresh fruit. i used 2 mountain cooler capri sun's, strawberry and mango slices. i poured the mountain cooler into the popsicle mold i got from bed, bath & beyond for 4.99 and added fruit in along the way. froze them for several hours, about four.

and this was the result: delicious popsicles. i might try a different flavor capri sun next time.

growing up.

somehow i've grown up.

I still have a lot of growing up to do.

yet somehow I've entered this phase where I'm on the precipice of adulthood.

what do I mean by this.

- It's the summer before my senior year of college = 1 year before "the real world"

-1 year before graduation, but a lot less to make decisions about what comes next

- decisions like, do I want to go to grad school, will i truly enjoy a career in sports information?

- if not, what am i called to do?

- i have these big decisions to make yet I still feel like a kid.

- I didn't have the urge to learn to drive when i turned fifteen like most kids do. I didn't even get my learner's at sixteen. I guess I was scared but whatever the reason I didn't get my learners till my freshmen year of college and my license till the beginning of my junior year.

- and so since I've been at college I don't have the most experience and I don't have a car

- which means i don't have as much independence as people my age and people even younger

- But I can't change that and I have to just work to move on and grow from where I am.

- I'm gonna work on my driving this summer and then hopefully get a car before I go back to school.

- and then I will begin my senior year of college and embark on my entrance to adulthood.

- p.s. i love clouds.

Life is flying by.. and my thoughts on that fact

Somehow I became a college senior. What?! really, how did that happen. I swear scholar's comp. was yesterday and not three years ago. But sometimes it does seem like that long ago. I think its just the fact of what it means to be a college senior that scares/worries me.

I love college. Living semi on my own, with some great friends at a great school. But this time next year I'm out in the real world. I really need to start getting life figured out. I feel like I'm so behind.

I just got my driver's license last august but because I've been at school nothing has really changed since I got it. I guess I haven't really expressed my feelings on this to my parent's well until last week. I just don't think anyone hates the constant position of the passenger seat as much as I do. Because I feel like it's too late. I am supposed to have four to five years of driving experience behind me. But because of being at college, I have really about less than a year. And I have close to no experience driving on my own. I suppose I need to pray for patience because while patience is a virture it is one I struggle with. Even though it worries me greatly that I only really have july and august to get good driving experience before school starts. AND i was planning and really hope to have a car before going back to LG. but as much as it hurt to hear him say the other day, I worry my dad is right, I am not a good enough driver to be out there by myself, whether I have my license or not. AND that scares me beyond belief because I have to be ready to drive on my own, people four years younger than me are more independent than I am but I am the one who has to be an adult really soon. I've gotten myself upset and didnt intend for the post to be about this but clearly i needed to vent.

Not Letting Life Get Me Down

Well, this week i signed up for my third to last semester of college. How CRAZY is that?

It scares me because i am sooo overwhelmed with balancing all my papers in all my classes this semester and doing well. and living life at the same time.

I am really bad about thinking about all i have to do and freaking out instead of actually getting busy on all i have to do.

i should probably work on that.

well that is all for right now.
