    • Thanksgiving Break To-Do List

      Posted at 4:00 pm by Kelli, on November 27, 2019

      Hello everyone! I am finally on break for Thanksgiving, and I am so happy about it. I finally get a bit of a break to see family and relax. Well, kind of relax. I will still have to do work, but I have all weekend to do it. Plus, I might actually enjoy the work I have to do.

      Anyway, I decided to upload a Thanksgiving break to-do list. At the end of break, I’ll follow up with what I did.

      • Get my nails done
        • I am actually going to do this today. I should have probably waited because I don’t really need to spend money right now, but I’m doing it anyway.
      • Vlog my break
        • I hope to vlog my break. I am trying to get back into youtube again.
      • Practice cooking
        • I have been wanting to learn how to cook for a while now. I can follow directions. I just have to build up the motivation to actually do it. I don’t think my family has any plans for Thanksgiving so I was thinking about having my grandpa and I cook something.
      • Volunteer at the local animal shelter
        • This is a big maybe, but I really do want to. I just don’t know if I will have time. Plus, I plan on going with my friend so our schedules need to line up.
      • Work at the restaurant as much as they will let me
        • I need the money, lol.
      • Powerpoint for Comm Law and Ethics
        • I kind of dread this, but at the same time, I don’t think it will be hard to do. The hardest part is always starting it.
      • Meditation homework
        • I actually forgot about this, and I hope my printer will work or else I won’t be able to do this homework until I get back to school.
      • Prepare for interview!!
        • I hope when I come back from break I will have an interview for this internship I want next semester. I need to prepare for my first real interview ever.

    • Fall Bucket List [2019]

      Posted at 11:24 am by Kelli, on September 24, 2019

      Happy fall!

      I can’t believe it is already fall. It should still be the beginning of summer! Honestly, I am not ready for fall weather. I don’t like cold weather, but I made a bucket list in hopes of making the best of it.

      Fall: September 23 – December 21

      • Carve a pumpkin
      • Practice ‘halloween’ makeup
      • Drink pumpkin spice coffee
      • Watch at least 2 halloween movies
      • Have a bonfire
      • Go to homecoming football game
      • Consistent with working out / meditation
      • Go hiking at least once
      • Post at least 4 YouTube videos
      • Journal at least twice a week
      • Finish watching “The Originals”
      • Try something new (coffee, restaurant, food)
      • Read at least 2 books
      • Post on WordPress at least once a week
      • Watch at least 2 Christmas movies
      • Have Thanksgiving with my family
      • Do Christmas shopping
      • Get rid of clothes I don’t wear so I’ll have room for new clothes

      After fall season is over, I am going to post the end result of how many of these I got done. Hopefully all of these will be crossed out!

    • Life Update: School, Birthday, Youtube

      Posted at 11:35 am by Kelli, on September 17, 2019

      This is going to be an update on my life from the first two weeks of school. My first two weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotion.

      IMG_8422

      On August 24, I packed everything up in my car (forgetting some important things like my coffee maker), and I moved back into my dorm room at school. Honestly, I don’t mind living in a dorm. It’s a whole lot quieter than being at home. Although I do miss my animals. Sometimes it gets lonely. I have suite mates (so we share a bathroom), but I do not that a roommate because I paid for a private dorm.

      I was really nervous to start school this year because I heard some negative things about a couple of the classes I was taking. Attending the classes have slightly eased my worry about them. I know one will be slightly difficult, but I’ve had this teacher enough to know what he wants on his tests. The other class has a different (better) teacher than previously. He’s actually one of my favorite teachers, and I think he’s going to make this class somewhat enjoyable. I also had concerns about an English class. Previous English classes I have taken have been somewhat boring. The teachers were good, but the material wasn’t interesting to me. I have a short attention span so something has to be interesting to keep me from going “squirrel!” every five seconds. Obviously not literally, but hopefully you understand what I am referring to. 

      Then there was Labor Day Weekend – which was super fun because my family and I went to Illinois for a family reunion.

      img_8458.jpg

       

      We do this every year, and I honestly love it because I get to see family I literally only see during Labor Day Weekend. Most of my family went for the whole week, but since I had school responsibilities, I could only go for the weekend.

      2019-08-30 192019-08-30 18:19:43.962

      We mostly just all caught up with one another, ate really good food and played corn hole. If you don’t know what cornhole is – bless your heart. 

      On Sunday, my grandpa drove me back to my dorm (because he also picked me up). I didn’t do anything for the rest of the holiday except play “Detroit Become Human.”

      My second week of classes were not too bad, but procrastination has already taken a hold of my life. I did all of my homework the day it was due.

      I’m not going to life. My anxiety has been awful. On Wednesday, I almost had a panic attack. Over the weekend, my grandpa was kind enough to bring me my coffee maker since I left it at his house. Well on Wednesday, I was actually motivated to make a new YouTube video of me trying instant coffee for the first time.

      Well.

      As I was getting my coffee maker out of the box, the coffee pot fell off and shattered on my floor.

      Interesting fact about me: glass shattering gives me really bad anxiety.

      I don’t know why it does, but it does to the extent I was almost have a full-blown panic attack. If you don’t know what anxiety can feel like (for others it could be different): shaking, numb, can’t breathe, heart racing.

      That’s what was happening to me.

      Luckily, I was able to calm down somewhat, but I still felt and uneasy feeling for the majority of the day.

      I did end up buying a new coffeemaker and the YouTube video should be up within the next few weeks.

      That same day, however, I started catching what I thought was a cold. I come to find out it was just really bad sinuses. I could barely function. It was terrible. It took me a week to finally start getting over it.

      Finally, September 9 was my birthday. I am officially 22 years old. It honestly does not feel like I am 22. I mean, I looked like I’m 16 and sometimes I act like it too.

      IMG_8525

      Those are how my last two weeks have been like. I’ve left stuff out like how I’ve been obsessed with Tik Tok here lately – probably because I literally have no close friends at school. (You can add me on there @ kelliyoung42). Also, I’ve taken a break from working out, but I hope to start back now that I feel better than I did.

      I hope you have a great day! More posts should be coming soon!

    • Family Reunion 2019

      Posted at 3:36 pm by Kelli, on July 8, 2019

      We try to have family reunions every year. I decided to video just a tiny bit of it. Mostly because I liked my outfit.

      Please check out my video! I’d appreciate it. You can also like, comment and subscribe (but only if you want).

      I should have another video out soon – either today or tomorrow!

    • “I love you.”

      Posted at 11:13 pm by Kelli, on May 25, 2019

      “I love you” is something that is said automatically where I live. After ending a phone call or leaving to go somewhere, “I love you” is always said to a loved one. “Ok, I have to go. Bye, I love you.” *hangs up*

      The problem with this is that I am not one to tell how I feel verbally. I feel awkward telling the people I love “I love you.” As soon as someone tells me, I get an anxious feeling in me, and I try to leave or hang up as soon as possible.

      But that does not mean that I do not love them.

      I show love differently.

      I show love in the way I am there when they call me last minute asking for a favor. I show love in the way I smile at them. I show love in the way I put down my phone so I can listen to what they have to say.

      I usually show love in actions instead of words.

      It does not mean that I do not love someone any less just because it’s hard for me to sometimes tell them how I feel.

      I believe as long as someone shows that they love someone – the words shouldn’t matter.

      “Actions speak louder than words.”

    • 10 Facts About Me

      Posted at 5:00 pm by Kelli, on October 21, 2017

      Hello everyone! I’ve realized that I haven’t properly introduced myself so here’s what this post is about! First of all, my name is Kelli and I’m currently 20 years old. I have 10 facts about myself listed below!

      22685026_1706597096052238_1411966146_n

      1. I am a college student in Tennessee.

      2. I love to travel! Every year I usually go to Michigan and Florida for vacation. I would love to travel to more places (as long as I don’t go alone.) Below is a random picture from when I was in Panama City Beach, Florida.

      13686613_1227569377288348_4258433761991666774_n

      3. I love Harry Potter. I have always loved Harry Potter for as long as I can remember. Last May I actually got to go to the Harry Potter World.. Picture below.

      18740277_1559358777442738_4335162723261351150_n

      4. I do a variety of things. I love to read, but I also like to play sports. I also like playing video games too. My favorite ones to play are Pokemon, Harry Potter, COD: Ghosts, and The Last of Us.

      5. I’m a really shy person until I get to know you. My best friend says that I’m like a completely different person then. I can be very outgoing when I’m comfortable around the people I’m with.

      6. I’ve lived in Tennessee my whole life though I am open to moving to a different state if need be for a job. Hopefully if I do move, one of my sisters will be able to come with me.

      7. I’m very picky in who I date. I can’t make myself go on a date with someone whom I don’t feel any connection with or I don’t think I could ever feel any connection with.

      8. I have 4 siblings, a niece, and a nephew. Sibling wise, I have a little brother and 3 older sisters. My niece and nephew are from one of my older sisters.

      9. I have a retainer and I hate it. I’ve had it for years. My teeth would have been straight already if I hadn’t lost/broke 2 retainers already.

      10. I have a YouTube channel! My first ever post was actually just about my YouTube channel. I don’t upload much (I’m going to try to get better but I’m just so busy) but you should check it out. I’m going to try to upload a lot more often. It’s just the time to take editing is what hinders me from doing so.
