I was having trouble coming up with a blog idea for today, but I’m serious about wanting to post when I say I’m gonna post, and then I got to thinking. What better way to come up with an idea than to look back at the last six years and see what I was blogging about this time of year? Let’s go on an adventure, friends.

Video we’re responding to:

This wasn’t what I was hoping for but it’s late and I needed to upload it. Cest la vie.

Narrated by Colton!

A few weeks ago, I posted this video, detailing how a short story of mine had been accepted into NULC, or the National Undergraduate Literature Conference in Utah. This was kind of a big deal. I haven’t been published or accepted into any writing contest thing since 6th grade when my short story about getting showed in got into a local anthology. Now that my college career is coming to an end, it’s started to dawn on me that I need some publishing credentials under my belt other than random guest blogs.

I have tagged Abby, Shane, Laia, and Kaitlen. Woo!

After this morning’s blog drama (which I have already replied to in comments and in email to the person it concerns) I wasn’t having a very good start to my day. Then Colton, who for all intents and purposes is my husband (Siri even recognizes him as such), drafted a response of his own to the drama which he’ll post as soon as he gets off work and which legitimately made me tear up. And after that, Quinn (who shall henceforth be known as the best boyfriend in the world) brought me Reeses and an Apple Blueberry fruit leather bar (one of my favorite flavors from my favorite brand) at work and gave me a big hug. He also wanted to bring my a Brambleberry Tazo iced tea (my absolute favorite drink in the world) but they were out at the bistro. He knows me so well it’s scary. And THEN I noticed that the girl I met at NULC (an experience which I will blog about next week) (also, hi Kaitlen!) not only commented on my guestbook, but also subscribed to both my personal and collab channels on YouTube AND liked my website on Facebook. So, a less-than-fun morning turned into a pretty great afternoon. And with that, I’ll leave you with a quote that I think sums up just about everything that has happened in the past three hours:
