I sit here at college feeling like I'm wasting my life. 
Shouldn't I be out in the real world making a difference and a name for myself?
In order to do that, you need education right? Why?
I just feel the things I'm learning and the experiences I'm having haven't changed my standing. 
I'm still Lauren: 
Wanting the same things
Dreaming the same things
Reaching toward my goals
On the slow track.

I'm really sorry for my delay in posts.

For some reason, my laptop wont connect to our wireless internet at home.

I had a wonderful winter break, and started new classes today.

They seem like they will be interesting, to say the least. 

Tonight is my last night in Colorado.
I will be leaving for Minnesota tomorrow evening. 
I'm going to miss my boyfriend, and my grandma. 
I will see them soon, hopefully. 

My Darling

I feel the need to share this diamond in the rough. I've had my heart set on this house for months, and I went to look at it today. Unfortunately, I did not get to see the inside. We drove up to it, and I fell in love. It is a fixer upper, so to say, but has so much potential that it makes me smile. I know you all do not want to hear the nitty gritty details, but I'm trying to convince my boyfriend to buy it. He claims to be a country boy, but won't live here because it is on a dirt road. If only I were out of school, this baby would be mine! 

I'm just hoping something glorious will happen in this house's, and my, sake. (: 

Black and White Beauties

I just got done watching "The Craigslist Killer" on Hallmark Channel.
I really do not know why I do this to myself.
I love t.v. shows like CSI, Criminal Minds and Law and Order, but after watching, I can never fall asleep.
Call me a scaredy-cat. (: 

Country Strong

I just got home from seeing the movie Country Strong. 

Honestly the best movie I have seen in a very long time.

It is one of those movies that leaves you speechless and in a fog when leaving the theater.

It makes me think:

Maybe life is better simple. 

We need to stop pursuing all the time and just embrace what we have, because it's wonderful.

That I want a baby blue old truck and a country man to match (; 

Gweneth Paltrow has made it up up up on my favorites list, wow. She did an amazing job. 

I highly highly recommend seeing this movie. 

If anything it is humble-izing. 

Today has been a pretty inspiring day.
I look outside to the sun shining off of the cold dry pine trees.
It's a lot warmer here than Minnesota.
Now to do the paper that's due.

I am on vacation in Colorado and loving it.
This blog has a long ways to go.
I'm so excited for it! (:
