New beginnings...

I'm contemplating a new layout for my blog posts. Since the name of my blog is Live.Love.Matter., I've decided to really embrace this mantra within all of my posts. In each post I will talk about how I'm livin', what I'm lovin' and why those things matter to me on that particular occasion.

Without further ado, here goes:

Livin': Today I'm living with a little bit of fear and a little bit of excitement for what lies ahead for me in life. As of right now I am committed to having a great last year of my undergraduate experience--living life with no regrets--but I am also nervous for the transition into the real world. All my life I have been really successful at being a student and I am not sure how I will adjust to having a 9-5!

Lovin': Today I'm loving good times with old friends. I've had the same wonderful best friend since age two and I cannot imagine life without her. We had a great time at the Laura Marling concert in SF on July 27:


Listen to her, now! She is absolutely amazing. And her opening act, Dylan LeBlanc, was pretty talented too.

Why this all matters: I think life is about transitions, but all of your experiences and the people you surround yourself with shape the way that you handle those changes. It means the world to me to know that I have wonderful people who love and support me no matter what, even when I have no idea what path to take next.  Change--and the unfamiliarity of new situations--is the catalyst for creation and ingenuity. The pieces of my past will form a new future, and I can't wait to see how it all turns out. I'll keep you posted!

Peace,
Elsie

Back on Track

Hey lovelies! Wow it has been forever since I have posted anything to this blog. Life and responsibilities kind of took over I guess. Now I'm on summer break, though I am still taking a summer school class and working. So it is not much of a break. But I gotta make some moneh! And I love my job, so that helps. Hmmm what's new in the life of Elsie? Well I trained for and completed a marathon, while juggling work and a full class load. That's pretty cool I guess.  :)

Ugh well I must go to sleep so I can wake up early and do it all over again. Can't wait for summer school to be over! I leave you with my latest musical obsession, Matt Wertz. You MUST listen to the song "Voices." I am in lurrrrrrrve with that song. Bon nuit!
