Motivation Inspiration.

So its 1:36 AM and I have never been more productive. I redid this blog (yay!) which is something I have been wanting to do for such a long time. It just needed revamped and now it is splashed with the lovely color of blue so it is feeling even more like my little space of internet than ever before. 

Are there times where you watch something or you listen to a song and you feel either so much emotion to do something or you think about the future and feel so motivated to get to that place you want to be?

That happens to me a lot. I feel inspired to do so many things at once which isn't realistic because I need to focus on a few things in order to get something done! So the list maker in me has decided to make a list of things that I can start thinking/working on to maybe accomplish some goals that I would like to do in the future.

Items to focus on:

1.) Nursing

2.) Blogging

3.) Photography/Videos

4.) Helping People (in a really awesome way) 

5.) Music

I think this is a list that can help me kind of organize my priorities in some type of way! 

I mentioned that I feel inspirited my certain videos or songs when motivated and below are some that I really enjoy. 

Hope you enjoyed those videos! What is inspiring you today? What makes your list?

I feel like I need to tell you guys a little bit more about myself! I feel as if all you know is that I go to school and live in Pittsburgh.  So I am doing a fifty questions type thing that I read off of another blog called Kylie Gwen! Go check her out!
What are some interesting facts about you guys?!

1: What are you wearing? A groutfit. What is a groutfit you may ask? Oh just a beautiful grey on grey outfit. So a grey vneck and grey sweatpants because it is just one of those nights ladies. 
2: Ever been in love? I think I have had a taste of love. But I have not had the whole sweeping off the feet. I am sitting tight for that one! 
3: Ever had a terrible breakup? Yes but also no! Ah, confusing boys. 
4: How tall are you? 5'3''
5: How much do you weigh? ENOUGH TO BREAK THE ICE. Okay okay that wasn't funny at all but it does depend on how many pieces of pizza I have had on that particular day. No one turns down a pizza. 
6: Any tattoos? Nope, but hopefully one soon!
7: Any piercings? I have one in each ear but after nursing school I plan on getting more on the lovely lobes.
8: OTP (one true pair, favorite fictional couple)? JAM. Jim and Pam from the office. It is perfect. 
9: Favorite show? Right now, it is always sunny in Philadelphia. Perfection. 
10: Favorite bands? I am massively into Young the Giant, Modest Mouse, Regina Spektor, The Fratellis, and of course Bastille. 
11: Something you miss? Right now, Pittsburgh and my best friends. 
12: Favorite song? I have so many but at the moment, Durban Skies by Bastille. 
13: How old are you? 20. December 27th will be the day from the gods, 21st birthday then!
14: Zodiac sign? Capricorn. Who made these things up??
15: Quality you look for in a partner? Passionate about something. It could be claymation but if you really enjoy something I love that. And can I throw in honesty and humor? Oh, okay! So those too. 
16: Favorite Quote? "You've never gone poor from giving."
17: Favorite actor? Tom Hanks. Like come on, Toy Story AND Saving Private Ryan. 
18: Favorite color? Officially, blue. Unofficially, lime green.
19: Loud music or soft? Most times, soft. 
20: Where do you go when you’re sad? My room or a room by myself with music. Or on a french fry run with my best friends. I embrace the salt when sad. 
21: How long does it take you to shower? About 12 minutes? Im totally rounding. 
22: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? If I want to look like a half person: about 30 minutes. If I want to look real person:  An hour to an hour and a half. Its a process guys. 
23: Ever been in a physical fight? No, thank sweet baby jesus for that one. 
24: Turn on? Similar music tastes, humor, weirdness, and confidence. 
25: Turn off? Not knowing yourself/no goals in your life. BEING TOO SERIOUS.
