Turning coffee into Education

This is kinda all over the place and two totally different subjects however, they are things that are dear to my heart and really been in my life lately. I have always been a fan of Starbucks but being in college and early morning (weekend) sorority activities make you LOVE starbucks, or just coffee in general! I love early mornings, I am beginning to get better at enjoying them and being peppy! I like that I can enjoy anytime of the day and Starbucks just makes it an even better time, am I right?!

making yourself proud

Sometimes we have to take a step away from helping others and putting 100% of ourselves into loving and making others proud, that is when we can make ourselves proud. We only have this one life to live and it is really important to encourage yourself throughout your lifetime. Making sure that you are accomplishing what you want to do and moving towards your short-term and long-term goals is really important.

sometimes all you need is a fresh cup of coffee, cozy puppy. I wanted to share with you all my little puppy, she is actually bigger now but I miss her being so small and sweet. Yes, she still bites, is not quite potty trained and is full of energy. She is an old English sheepdog. Her name is Bailey; so when I’m home and my family yells at her, I think they are yelling at me but let’s be honest I do not pee on the carpet anymore… I feel incredibly blessed to have this beautiful pup in my life. Right before I graduated my other dog, Bettis, passed away. With me leaving for WA and my sister going to study abroad my mom was left with no “baby” so we had to get her something to take care of and cuddle with. Once she found this sweet little pup in Southern California, she made a trip with her best friend and they went to pick up our little Bailey.

my ADPi family

sometimes you think that everything is perfect, then your world falls apart and you feel like giving up. last semester was truly difficult, emotionally and mentally hard for me. this semester came around and I knew things had to change. I came into the semester worrying about where I belonged in my sorority and who wanted to take on me, I am practically three littles rolled into one. I had three beautiful, amazing sisters offer to adopt me and this was a really hard decision because it was hard to get another big diamond sister and give them this huge responsibility. I did not know that one of the three women was my new member educator, she taught us everything we needed to know while we were new members, before we were initiated. she basically was our mother for almost two months. one night I asked her if she would consider adopting me and all my emotional baggage. I truly thought nobody wanted to adopt someone like me. over winter break, she took me in and we grew closer, inch by inch. I know for me and many other sisters it is hard to not have an automatic connection with your big diamond sister, but sometimes the ones that take time to grow are the best. I didn't truly understand how much she cared for me until she explained it to me. one evening, she said something that I will never forget "I will never leave you. I am going to be your biggest supporter through everything." that's when I knew I made the right decision and that she was truly the best big diamond sister EVER!
