Strength

My mom gave me a Pansy, not because I am "a sissy, fairy, or one that is generally unmanly."-Urban Dictionary, but because Pansy flowers are resilient. They live though a frost, they are a symbol of strength and fortitude.

Strength, in another sense: Meet Mr. Leon & Mrs. Gwen Manning, still holding hands.

Today I was first in line (with Mckelle) to see Mark Zuckerberg speak. We were in line at 7:30am, apparently BYU didn't think this was a big deal. There were no campers. Our seats were amazing.

It slushed outside. Sperry duckboot weather.

And I ditched Harold and went to the CoffePod to do homework, trendy.

The New Do

I've decided to try something new, something hip, something trendy.

M... for March

Minimalist March here we come.

My life has been too complicated, so I'm going to cut some corners and simplify.

This simplification started with a trip to DI. Goodbye unnecessary clothes. Minimal clutter.

The use of an app called "self control" has made my time more effective. Goodbye facebook, twitter, tumblr, blogger websites until my homework is done. Minimal distraction.

March for March, I will always be climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Minimal stress about swimsuit season.

Makeup is a hassle. I'll be wearing less makeup which will give me more time in the morning and the evenings. Minimal Makeup.

Here's a wish list.

If these girls can wear minimal makeup, so can I.
