21. Just Another Manic Monday

Monday Funday? Ya no. More like Manic Monday. I have never liked Mondays. They are just a reminder that your hectic week is only just beginning. Mondays are chaotic and always seem to go by slowly. If only Fridays and Saturdays went by just as slowly as Mondays. Today is Monday, and it is just as manic as usual. I have a stressful week ahead of me full of schoolwork and traveling and the fact that it is only Monday is making me miserable. Tuesday please come faster!!!

20. Puppy Love

"A dog is the only thing on Earth that loves you more than he loves himself"

I am a dog-lover. I love EVERYTHING about dogs. They are filled with happiness, which makes me happy. I always like to go to the pet store and play with the dogs there. One time I played with two pugs at the pet store, and they kissed each other! Thankfully, my friend got it on camera. (The photo above) Those loving puppies made my day. The quote above really made me think of my love for dogs in general, and made me miss my dog Lulu a little extra today. Love you and miss you Lulu!

19. Peace, Love & Disney

One of my dreams in life is to be a Disney Princess. Disney is my childhood. I have grown up watching every Disney movie there is and going to Disneyland on the reg. Disneyland is basically my second home. I have easily gone over 100 times in my life, and continue to go as often as I can. I will always have a soft spot for Disney. It makes me never want to grow up, which is a feeling that I love and never want to lose.

18. Normal People Scare Me

As Grandma Aggie once said in Halloween Town, "Being Normal is Vastly Overrated." This is my life motto. Many people think I'm weird, and I really don't care. Instead of caring about what other people think about me, I have learned to embrace my weirdness. I like being weird. It's fun! Being normal is boring. I came across a shirt at the Camden Market here in London that says "Normal People Scare Me" and I HAD to buy it. It describes my personality perfectly. Stay weird everyone! Life is better and more interesting that way.

XOXO,

17. If it is One Direction, it is Worth Waiting for

This weekend, my friend Lauren and I went to a One Direction concert in Cardiff, which is located in the country of Wales. My friend and I are OBSESSED with the band One Direction and our loyalty to them really showed this weekend. We took a 9 hour train ride to get to Cardiff from Scotland, waited 7 hours in line for the concert in order to get front row seats, took an hour train ride to Bristol after the concert, and then took another 2 hour train ride to get back to London the next morning. We spent a total of 19 hours sitting on trains and waiting in line just to see them perform for only 2 hours. Even we may look "crazy", "ridiculous" or "psycho", I don't care because the concert was 100% worth it. Those two hours watching them perform up close were the best two hours of my entire life, and I would do ANYTHING to relive them. One Direction is without a doubt worth waiting for.

16. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)

I have many fears in life, and one of them happens to be missing out. I have an extreme case of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). FOMO is a very unfortunate illness, and I get it quite frequently. I don't know why, but when my friends or family do things without me I get severe anxiety. I can't fathom the feeling of missing out on something great. I always feel the need to be in the loop, included, or involved, and when I'm not I get very upset and jealous. The WORST is when I miss out on something and my friends create inside jokes that I am not apart of. I will never be able to understand and laugh about those damn inside jokes because I wasn't there. I also get FOMO when my three sisters are together without me. The four of us all live in different states now, so it is very rare for of us to all be together. With this being said, when we are all together we have the BEST time and missing out on that is a terrible feeling. FOMO also sneaks up on me when I can't go out with all of my friends because I have a huge test the next day. I really hope they all have the best time while I am miserable and studying! HAHA JK LOL! While I am studying I am secretly hoping that my friends have a horrible night since I couldn't be there with them to enjoy it. Long story short, I hate missing out. FOMO is a real thing, and its AWFUL. I really hope that my case of FOMO goes away one day.

15. Why so CEREALous?

Last week I went to a place called Cereal Killer Cafe in Camden Town, London. This place was one of the coolest restaurants I have ever been to because I have never seen anything like it before. The only food on the menu were cereal and Pop Tarts! This place had every cereal imaginable. It had all of the popular cereals from the United States, France, Spain, and all of the popular cereals from almost every country in the United Kingdom. You had the option to mix different kinds of cereals together and you could even put toppings like sprinkles, chocolate chips, Oreos, etc. in your cereal. It was amazing!  My favorite part about the restaurant were the decorations. My favorite decoration was a canvas with the Joker on it from Batman, and it was made entirely out of cereal. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen! Another interesting part about the restaurant was that you had the option to sit in a bed if you wanted to instead of a chair. Weird right? I felt like I was in a movie. If you ever happen to visit London, I highly recommend going to Cereal Killer Cafe. I am not even a breakfast person, and I loved it! It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip here in London so far.
