With the semester being over I’ve had more time to focus on things that I know I should do, but never really have the time to do. One of those things is keeping a diary. Keeping a diary has always been a struggle because of the time and effort it requires. I realized that for some reason, writing down things on paper is part of the problem.

Don’t get me wrong, I love writing things down. I’m a huge supporter of paper planners instead of e-calendars and apps. But for this specific activity, I’ve come to realize that keeping an electronic diary is better for me. I’m actually surprised at how well my little experiment is going. I’ve been enjoying the simple activity of writing down the things that happened in my day, how I am feeling, and the things I’m learning.

On another note, spring is here! Well, this week the weather has been very cloudy, chilly, and gloomy. However, there have been a few good sunny days. Spring is probably my favorite season because all you need is light layers. I really cannot wait until the weather gets warmer and sunnier. It’s going to be the best summer yet!

April’s summary

2016-02-07 13.22.55

Here’s what I’ve been up to this month…

I’m currently watching Parks and Rec. I used to say I’d never watch it. Season 1 never caught my eye, so after a lot of going back and forth, I followed my friends’ advice and I skipped season 1 and jumped to season 2. I’m so glad I listened to them because I’m so in love with Ben Wyatt. I mean, seriously, where do I find a boyfriend like him? Anyone has any idea? (I’m serious you guys!)

Music wise… Adele. I just discovered Adele’s “Water under the bridge” and wow. just wow. So deep and so emotional. I don’t know why I hadn’t listened to it (did I tell you school was crazy this semester? okay, so no judging) but now that I did it’s been on replay for like a week now 🙂

Also, I know this is really random, but I’ve been eating my weight in Mexican food. My parents are visiting and they brought A LOT of food. Ugh, it takes like four months to barely loose any weight and just one week with your mom in town to gain twice as much. SO unfair! It’s not like I’m going to stop eating anytime soon or anything, I just wanted to vent about it 🙂 Now that I have, let’s move on.

Shopping… have you seen Ann Taylor’s latest collection? It’s got me hooked. Like I’ll drool over how amazingly elegant the pieces are kind-of-hooked. So colorful and classy! But I’m still a poor college student. Can I just wake up one day with my BS degree? Pleasseee..

Hope you’re having a good one!

Long time no see

Okay, so this picture was taken a looong time ago. Like January-ago. School definitely kept me busy this past semester. However, I’m happy to report that finals are over and this semester is as well. I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to a summer this badly. I was so ready to to take a break, but anxious Diana kicked in last week and made the thought of having  a completely free summer a dreadful idea. So, this girl is taking a summer class. I know for sure, in less than a month I’ll be regretting my decision but for now this is the plan.

April has been a weird month. There’s been a lot of things going on. Good things and bad things. I’ve felt rejection in a whole new level (adulthood stinks!), I’ve been disappointed, and I’ve felt incapable. Fortunately, this last week has been a nice change. I’m trying to keep a good attitude about the things I cannot change. I guess that’s how you make it, by keeping you head up and your heart strong.

There’s a bee in my flowers

As you might know, and for those of you who don’t, one of the things I want to do this year is to have flowers in my apartment every month for at least one year. I have a weakness for flowers, all of them. My favorite kind are gardenias but I’ll take any flowers anytime 🙂 . I’ve decided to have a post exclusively for this goal and to update it as the year goes by. I think it will hold me accountable for my goal. Hopefully, right?

This is blank!
