"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."

Hello Ladies!I hope you both had wonderful breaks :) So, tonight, as usual I was wasting time on the computer in an attempt to procrastinate. But suddenly, I realized that I was better than that. I can get good grades and be a successful student. And I can be a classy, intelligent, but still fun woman! So, I have compiled a list of motivational quotes to help us study for finals and tests. Also, I revisited the beginning of our blog to remind us all of the steps to being "that girl" because let's face it: we've all had our fair share of completely and utterly failing at it. But, in the words of Scarlett O'Hara, "After all, tomorrow is another day."

Motivational quotes for your final three weeks of the semester:

"I know it seems hard sometimes, but remember one thing, through every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it gets, keep your chest out, keep your head up and handle it."
Tupac
“There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.”—Henry Ford
It’s never too late to be what you might have been. –George Eliot
"You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down but the staying down."—Mary Pickford
Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. - Albert Einstein
Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.
William Arthur Ward

And finally, in the words of Al Ruesink:"To give anything less that your best is to sacrifice the gift."



Now that you are motivated to ace those finals like I know you will, here's a little motivation to improve the other parts of your life:
Steps to being "that girl":
1. Wake up early
2. Get Straight A's
3. Workout on a regular basis
4. Eat Healthily
5. Be overly involved in everything.
6. Dress for Success
7. Keep it classy
8. Make everyone love you
9. Keep yourself well groomed
10. Always, always, always, always wear pearls.


Some of the steps have links to articles that you may find helpful.

Well, I shall see you tomorrow and I know we will all be looking classy and fabulous ready to take on the world! Aren't I motivating?
Love you both!

Bloggin' Like a Champ.

“The most important trip you may ever take in life is meeting people halfway…”
- Henry Boye


I thought this was fitting of todays argument. haha.
Anyway, MORE INSPIRATION TO BE AMAZING PEOPLE:



“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves “who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?” Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us , it’s in everyone, as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
- Marianne Williamson from “A Return to Love”

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

Why do I want to plan a wedding so bad right now?
Here are my wedding reception venue options:

Crystal Gardens:  It's at Navy Pier and I toured if because we almost had our prom there and it is seriously GORGEOUS. And I would have a night wedding and all the twinkle lights would be so pretty. and classy. It's all glass and there's like botanical gardens inside. And I would take pictures on the carousel like thisssss: hahahha


Okay here's the other option. It's more like rustic, yet classy. It's at Lincoln Park Zoo. haha. But anyway, I LOVE IT.

Okay I need to be done stalking peoples wedding pictures hahaha.
It's addicting.

This is what I should be doing:
