My worldview

Call me a hippie all you want, but I am all about the peace and love. I know I probably sound like the world's most naive optimist, but I really believe in the impact of one person on the world.

I have complete and total faith in my God.

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about UNT. The color green really dominates my outlook right now.
Green is symbolic of growth, health, and youth. And in urban terms, "go."

It's like everything is giving me the green light to move forward. I love that. I can't wait to give this semester my all.

Orientation

So orientation rocked my world.

UNT is absolutely wonderful.

Always

Grace is a crazy and wonderful thing. Blows my mind.
Whenever I'm feeling stressed out or discouraged, God always sends something or someone my way to reassure me that it'll be ok.
Never fails.

I feel like the luckiest person in the world - like I found the needles in this haystack life, and they're my friends and family.

God just keeps showing me new mercies day by day, and I keep stumbling around trying to get things right. But it gives me comfort to know that God's in control.
Always.

MUNCH ON THIS

I know I have.

Piknic! :)

If you don't have photoshop, Piknic is the next best thing.
But if you just like making fun pictures, it's pretty awesome :)



and Polaroids =]

Japanese Palace

I have a deep burning passion for asian food.
And german chocolate cake.
And orange sherbet.

Last night contained all of the above. <3 splendid.







I've been blessed my whole life, but you know what never fails to bring a smile to my face? Random acts of kindness by strangers. I've been seeing a lot of them lately.
Aren't people just so good? :)

New dorm room furniture?

I think so

Life's eternal struggle

GO AB LOUNGE, GO!!!

GLEE!

Maybe it's because I
a) was in show choir
b) have the same name as a certain female protagonist

but I like it.

Can't wait for season 2 :)

Graduated

So it’s all over. I’m a high school graduate now. It doesn’t feel real. I don’t even feel sad. I keep thinking that I’ll come back. I kept telling myself, “I’m never going to see these kids again!” (Except for my besties.) Like the funny guy in the back of the class, or the nice aquaintance sitting next to you. The people you wish you’d gotten to know, but never did.

And then there’s the old friends that you lost touch with. It’s sad to think about how a lot of people I once used to be really tight with are going out-of-state for college, so there’s not even a chance of reconnecting. But Facebook takes away a lot of the regrets. That’s one thing I keep in mind.


Well… I’m probably going to miss being a bearcat eventually, but right now, I’m too busy collecting UNT merchandise (I’m rocking the green socks).

But guess where I’m at right now? Yeah – weatherford college. So this is summer…. I have a test tomorrow. Ugh, not what you imagine. I can’t complain.
Hugs and kisses. <3 Rachel
