Defeating Someday

[defeatingsomeday]

Final Post...

...for now. 

So though it has been a little less than 60 days, for the purpose of writing my paper, and graduation, I am done with the challenge. That doesn’t mean that if any of the other goals get accomplished, I wouldn’t write about them here. Just for now, I need to be able to focus on school, and finishing this project (for a grade). 

Its been quite the ride though. I do not think I completely understood just how short sixty days were when I started this challenge. Let me tell you though, its not very long at all. In fact, its actually really short. I also do not think I fully grasp the concept of time. Or that I every will. It blows my mind how quick a hour or two can go by. This lack of understanding of time has really been a hinderance for this project. 

That, and a lack of motivation. Some of the adventures, I realized, I just don’t actually want to do. Going to a tailor has been so far down on my priority list seeing as the job I have for after graduation isn’t really going to require me to be in professional dress. At least not enough that slipping on a pair of heels on is really going to be a problem. If the situation had been different I may have done this sooner, but at this point in my life it just wan’t necessary. 

On the flip side, some adventures I was eager to take on. Like going on a road trip. It helped that I was going to see my best friend (Kacie!) and also that I love traveling, and seeing new places. Likewise, adventures like going vegan for a day or giving up social media for a day were easy challenges to take on. I may not have been the best at them (ahem, vegan) but they were something I could do as I went about my normal day. Other than having to put a little extra thought into what I ate or what websites I visited I did not have to change anything about my day. 

Its been fun. Its been real. Its been something I have loved and would love to do again. Perhaps at a time in my life when I don’t have three research paper, countless presentations, class, work, and hanging out with friends all dangling over my head as well. I have learned one major lesson though: I need my goals right in front of my face. Be in on my computer screen or hanging on my wall, I need to be able to see them frequently. I tend to forget things that aren’t immediate. But lesson learned. I am eager to take what I learned from this experience, and use it in my next major event in life. 

A year long internship in Pennsylvania!

Until next time my friends, until next time.

Guys, my life has been crazy. CRAZY. And I know that this really isn’t an excuse for not adventuring, but its the only excuse I have. Senior year has been something else: projects, papers, presentations...life. Its a lot more work that I ever imagined. It’s been hectic, yet I would not take a single minute of it away.

On the bright side, my schedule is getting so much more free. Which means these next couple of weeks I have more time to get my adventuring on! WHOOO! So I’m supper excited about a few of these. One of them is knitting. Joanna’s is having a yarn sale! Which for a college student is like heaven. I still haven’t figured out how I am going to learn how to knit, but minor details. Haha.

So Ball State doesn’t really have a lot of sporting events in the spring. Except baseball! And I really love baseball. Unfortunately my schedule doesn’t really allow a lot of times to go to games. But...

The 25th and 26th are two games that I can go too. And I am going to go to one of them. I’m stoked. The IndyEleven, well that’s a little different. See, their spring schedule is not a very easy one. There is one more home game before the season is over, and well it just so happens to be the same night as the Comm Studies Senior Bar Crawl. If you can’t tell I’m in a bit of a pickle here, what do I do?

Last, but not least learning photography. So there is this really cool website called Udemy. Its got create reviews (both on the website and off of it) and they have this pretty cool intro to DSLR photography course. Well guess who just signed up for it?

This girl did. I am so excited to learn all about my shiny new camera, and what all of those fancy settings mean. And, I know that this is not a Lynda course, but this is going to take the place of it. The website are basically the same, they both offer classes in a bunch of technical web programs. So two birds with one stone, my favorite!

I’ll be back in a few to let you all know how the class is going!

Update

Hey y’all! 

I just wanted to take some time to let you know how some of the other challenges are going, since some of them have been long term things. 

1. Running a 5k. As some of you may know I had knee surgery in September for a torn meniscus. That’s healed well. Then in January I started physical therapy for my other knee. In other words, my knee’s hate me. That being said I have been trying, but it just doesn’t look like it is in the cards for this next moth. Some days I feel really good, other days not so good. I wish the news was better, I wanted to do this so bad. BUT on the bright side, I am in the gym more so hopefully that 5k will happen soon-ish. 

2. Donating plasma. So you have to have two forms of ID for this. My parents have my social security card and my birth certificate, and I don’t really feel comfortable having them send them in the mail. Plus, my passport has gone missing. Like actually, I cleaned my room and everything and its not there. :( I did put in the order for a new one so hopefully that can happen soon. 

3. The IndyEleven soccer season doesn’t even start until the 11th, so this hasn’t even been possible. Soon though, I am hoping! 

4. I found this website, that’s not lynda, but similar and it offers online FREE photography courses, so in order to kill two birds with one stone, I may be doing that. Not sure yet, but i’ll let you know!

5. Finally, going to a concert. Y’all I have been looking up concerts in the Muncie area for a while now, and there is just nothing. Well correction, there is something but unless you like country must it is basically nothing. So nothing. I’m just not willing to spend money on a concert I wouldn’t enjoy. Especially the $40 plus they want for it. 

So while this one might not be happening in the sense I thought I have been seeing some other shows. The first was Swan Lake by the Russian National Ballet. They came to Ball State and the tickets we’re only $5! It was so good. I’ve never seen a ballet before so that was cool. Second, Ball State did the musical Oklahoma this past week, and my roommate and I went to see it. The cast did fantastic. I was so impressed. Oklahoma is hands down one of my favorite musicals, so I was pleased to see it well done. 

Welp, that wraps it up for me today. Have a happy easter everyone!

Adventure Seven

Adventure seven has happened and I could not be more happy to see this one come and go. Today’s adventure was to clean my room and donate 15 things to Goodwill. Now, I don’t keep my room a disaster zone, but it is normally a little...lived in, we’ll go with that. This week though it has been particularly bad, brace yourself for the pictures below

Now, like I said my room is normally not this messy, but this week has been something else. I just haven’t had time to worry about keeping it clean. So this morning seemed like the perfect time to tackle it. Y’all, so much trash. Like seriously, I didn’t know it was this bad. 

It may not look like a lot but it took me 3 trips outside to the garbage can. On top of cleaning up my room, I wan’t to donate the things to Goodwill that I didn’t want...need...anymore. I’m getting ready to move away, college is almost over, and I am not going to have the space to keep all of this. Norm am I going to need it. 

I ended up taking two bags to Goodwill. In total I donated: 

1 dress//2 pairs of pants//2 pairs of shorts// 6 cami//1 pair of tights//1 sweatshirt// 2 hats// 1 scarve// 4 long sleeve shirts// 3 pairs of shoes// 24 tshirts

All together it was way more than what I tought I would have to donate. Granted, a lot of it were shirts I have been given for free throughout college, but I am seriously never going to wear them again. And I still saved so many. 

It was good though. The feeling of having a clean room is seriously one in a million. Look how nice it looks! 

Great morning y’all! I hope your Saturday was as good as mine!

Adventure Six

Hey y’all! 

Time for another adventure recap. This adventure was a favorite of mine...do a pinterest craft! I’m not normally a crafty person, but sometimes the mood hits and I love crafting. When I was thinking about doing this adventure I knew I wanted to do something Eastery but I didn’t want to do it by myself. Then I realized, I work with kids. I’ll do the craft with them! So I found this craft on pinterest, 

Not to hard, but we had an age range of 3-11 last night. I needed something flexible. So I laid out the supplies, sat the kids down and got started. Look how happy they were! 

The project was a little slow to begin with, tedious in the cutting out of different strips. But watching the kids was the best part. 

Doing this with the kids was the greatest. Plus, I think they turned out really well. Here’s what mine looked like. 

My favorite part though was seeing how all of them looked different. I never would of thought to do some of the things the kids did. Here are all of the finished products. 

You’ve got mine in the top left, Ella’s below me who really likes Thanksgiving. Kate’s is in the top right and she wove her paper. They rest of them look amazing as well. All the different patterns and colors. I loved doing this with the kids. 

I may not be an inherently crafty person, but doing things with the kids that I love is so much fun. Here’s to a good night and another adventure completed.  

[defeatingsomeday]

ADVENTURE THREE

About a week ago I announced that I was starting adventure three, which was reading a book. Well here I am now to tell you I have finished The Little Women Letters. I think this picture below pretty much sums up my thoughts.

The book was amazing. Okay, in reality, the beginning was a little rough. I just was not getting into it. And the whole bouncing back and forth between present day and the letters was a little tedious. As much as I love Little Women I was not filling good ole Jo March’s letters.

But then! Then I hit about chapter 5 and was engrossed. Seriously, I didn’t do much else this weekend but read this book. And I am not even upset about it. The story just started coming to life, and finally I was seeing connects to the series I love so much.

But more than that I was remember what it was to just read for fun. It just read because I wanted to. Not because a teacher was telling me to, but because I wanted to. That right there might be the greatest thing I’ve ever accomplish. I loved ever almost ever minute of reading this book.

If you are a fan of the Little Women books go and pick up a copy of the Little Women Letters, you won’t regret it. If you aren’t a fan, pick it up anyway. Or just pick up that book that has been sitting on your shelf for ages and read that. Go to the library and pick out a book to read. Moral of the story: READ.

(:

Adventure Five Recap

Tuesday was a hard day. Tuesday was also an amazing day. Y’all my first instinct when I wake up in the morning is to check instagram. I turn my alarm off, and within 3 seconds I’m clicking on the Instagram app. I almost, almost did that Tuesday morning. I just wasn’t thinking about it. And then I stopped. I dropped my phone and I got out of bed. 

I got out of bed grabbed my bible, pulled up SheReadsTruth and spent sometime in the word. It was so so so wonderful. I started my morning with the Lord. That was something I haven’t been able to do in ages. Or rather have been able to do and just chose not too. But Tuesday morning I started the day with my heart soaring. I felt truly prepared for the day and whatever it had to throw at me. 

The rest of my morning was spent focusing on my physical therapy exercise that I had been pretty awful about doing, and working on some school stuff. I felt on top of things. The rest of my day was spent on campus, literally 10:30am to 9:30pm. It was a long day, and normally days like that wipe me out. 

But my heart was happy from that morning, and I just spend some much quality time with friends. Granted I see most of them in class, but between two classes I sat down and had lunch with Taylor, which is something that has never happened before. Because I wasn’t using social media I was completely invested in the conversation. It was glorious. Later on I got to eat again with Megan, whom I absolutely adore and just do not get to talk to as often as I would like. 

During class I was able to actually pay attention. Not that I’m an awful student, but I do tend to get distracted by my computer a lot. With no social media I was fully invested in class, and it was great. 

Y’all that being said it was still hard. There were so many times when I wanted to pull out my phone and check instagram. Or a facebook notification would appear on my phone and I wanted to check it. The temptation was totally there. But the time spent with friends fully invest, or the time spent in class fully invested was so worth it. 

I’m not saying goodbye to social media forever, I do think it has quality benefits. But life should not revolve around social media! I went 24 hours without it and look I’m still here! Life is the people, the places, and the events around us. Not the pictures on instagram. Invest yourselves in your friends lives. Social media can give you a start, but do not  just settle for that. 

Go spend time with your friends!

Until next time. (:

Adventure Five

Sometimes, I think that the internet rules my life. Actually, scratch that. I know the internet rules my life, and the lives of many I know. It’s always “Did you see what blah blah blah posted on facebook?” “OMG! look at so and so’s insta picture?” We live in a world that is addicted to social media. 

It’s true. And sometimes the truth hurts. 

I know I didn’t want to admit it. I thought I was better than that. “Im not addicted” I would say “I’m just killing time between classes.” Really? Really Ashley? Just killing time between classes? What about talking to my classmates. My friends. What about seeing how they are. What about investing myself in their lives. 

Y’all. We have got to get off of our phones and laptops. We were not created to be creatures who learned about our friends lives through postings on social media. You do not get depth with social media, you get fluff. I want that depth, I want to remember what life was like before it was all about twitter and instagram. 

That being said, tomorrow I am making it my goal to go the whole day without social media. I have never tried something like this before, but hey no time like the present. I want tomorrow to be about the people around me and their lives. I want it to be a day full of enjoy from the here and now. I want it to be a productive day because I’m not spending it attached to my computer. 

Confession: I am actually a bit nervous about this one. I know its going to be hard. My first reaction when I wake up in the morning is to check facebook. I’m excited though to see what they day brings. 

See ya in 24 hours!

Adventure Four

So in the midst of the ongoing adventure number three, I decided yesterday was a good day to tart adventure number four: going vegan for a day. Perhaps, this wasn’t my best idea. I hadn’t really planned on it happening, but I just went for it. It actually wasn’t so bad. 

Breakfast was Cheerios and a Plum, which all things considering was pretty normal. Sometimes I have an egg and toast, but cheerios is always my go to in the morning. Oh, and I drink soy milk as it is, so that was no different. 

Being on campus all day means I have to pack my lunch. The only thing this adventure really made me do was eat more fruits and veggies. I try, as a rule, to eat one fruit and one veggie a day. For my lunch I took an apple (fruit number two!), snow peas (so good!) and pasta. Let it be noted I had to open a new jar of sauce because my first one had italian sausage in it. Dedication y’all. 

I thought the day was going good. I had some french fries also, because I was still hungry and those are vegan. And then it happened. The slip. I wasn’t even thinking. It was someone’s birthday in one of my class, and they brought in cosmic brownies for everyone. Without even thinking I just ate one. The horror! The shame!  I didn’t even realize what I had just done until the last bite was entering my mouth. Oh dear!

My friend, Megan, asked me if I was going to do the challenge over again. I don’t think so. Just because I slipped up doesn’t mean I didn’t complete the challenge. The adventure was all in seeing if I could do it. The answer was maybe if I thought about it more. 

I started the day yep, I can do this. And then quickly realized how much more challenging it was. To all my friends out there who have changed their diet, I applaud you. Being lactose intolerant I thought it would be easy to figure complete this. But it wasn’t. I cannot imagine give up so much food everyday. Maybe I just love my meat, eggs, and dairy too much. 

All in all, I’d say it was a pretty good day for an adventure. 

[defeatingsomeday]

Adventure Three

Reading is such a joy to me. And I feel like all I ever do any more is read. Just not fun reading. Its always one teacher saying Read this! and another saying Read that! Y’all don’t get me wrong, I’ve read some amazing books because teachers have told me too. Books I never would have dreamed of liking. But I want to read a book just because. I want to read a book because I want to read it. 

I have this favorite book series, you may have heard of it. Its called Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I have read all four books in the series multiple times. I may even collect editions of Little Women. 

See! And these are just the copies I have at school. Initially I was just planning on rereading Little Women because its the best book ever. And then I found this. 

The Little Women Letters. Its based on little women!  This book follows the life of Jo’s great-great-grandaughter after she finds letters Jo wrote to her sisters (Amy & Meg). So being the lover of Little Women that I am, I just had to buy it. Over this next month and a bit, I am going to read this whole book. JUST BECAUSE! No one is telling me, I just want to see what is new in the world of Little Women. 

I started last night while I was babysitting. Read a whole chapter. I’m hooked y’all. The March sisters may as well be my own sisters I feel like I know them so well. Here’s to hoping I can read this quickly. I want to know what happens. 

I’ll let you know what I think at the end. 

[defeatingsomeday]

A little bit of background

1. Run a 5k. I am not a runner. I did track for a year in middle school, and I know it is a good way to stay in shape but I just do not enjoy running. Somehow I found myself freshman year telling my friend, now roommate, that I would run a 5k with her. I know it is something that if I put the proper training time into I am fully capable of completing. Here I am almost done with senior year and I have still not run a 5k...or even started training for one. Before graduation, I want to fulfill this long promise. 

2. Go Vegan for a day. People who can make radical dietary changes fascinate me. I have friends who have turned vegetarian or who have given up processed sugar. I have never felt the desire to give up meat or processed sugar but the idea intrigues me. So for a day, I want to experience what my friends experience everyday of their lives. 

3. Take a Lynda class. We are so fortunate here at Ball State to have the opportunity to take Lynda classes for FREE. Lynda offers online classes in photoshop, adobe acrobat, dreamweaver, etc. I have known about Lynda since freshman year, and have yet to utilize it. So before this offer ends I want to take full advantage of it and learn a new skill along the way. 

4. Clean my room and donate 15 things to charity. I wouldn't say I am a hoarder or a terribly messy person but I do tend to keep my room in a kind of messy state. I also like to keep things on the off chance I may need them again. Getting ready to graduate though has made me realize I am not going to have a need for many of the things in my room nor the space to keep them. So why not donate them to people would could actually use them. 

5. Go to a concert. I love music; it's in my blood. Seeing live music is something I have always enjoyed and it has been way to long since I have been to a concert. College and busyness should not be an excuse to not do the things we enjoy. So i'm going to take the time to do something I enjoy. 

6. Go kayaking. I've canoed, I've paddle boated but I've never been kayaking. I certainly think it looks fun. Plus Ball State offers cheap rentals of kayaking equipment. So I'm gonna get a friend and we're going to go kayaking. 

7. Go to an IndyEleven game. I'll admit, I am a fairly new soccer fan, and I mainly watch the English Premier League (go Everton!). But I've gotten very into it, very fast. Around the time I became a fan, Indianapolis got a new professional soccer team. I want to again do something I enjoy and go see my first professional soccer match. 

8. Wear no make up for a day. Since I've been old enough to know what make up was, (and how to put it on properly) I have been wearing it. It may not be a lot everyday, but I at the very least always have mascara on. (Blonde eyelashes y'all, killer). I want to spend a day not concerned with how I look, and just rejoice in my God given beauty. 

9. Find and go to the tailor. I have a confession; I am only 5'2. I am pretty short. Pants, specifically dress pants, tend to be made for someone much taller. Ever pair of dress pants I own I am required to wear at minimum 3-inch heels with. I want to find a good tailor and go to them and give myself some pants that fit without heels. 

10. Go on a road trip. Now, before we get ahead of ourselves this does not need to be a cross country road trip (though that would be amazing). I just simply enjoy traveling, and one of the easiest ways to get somewhere is to drive. I want to take sometime and visit some place new via the road. 

11. Get a music lesson. Speaking of cheap things you can do on a college campus, and my love for music, I want to take a music lesson. Most music schools at universities have graduate students who teach music lessons for a discounted price. I want to utilize this opportunity and take a basic music lesson. 

12. Donate plasma. Not going to lie, the first time I thought about donating plasma it was because I needed money. Donating plasma is a relatively easy way to get some quick money. It is also an awesome way to help someone. I am not the biggest fan of needles, but for a good cause I think I could do it. 

13. Learn two basic soccer skills. I like sports, and at one point I would have considered myself a fairly athletic person. I'm not Mia Hamm or Kerri Walsh but I do enjoy playing sports and being active. I have never take the time to learn soccer, so as a new fan I want to learn some basic soccer skills. 

14.  Go to a Ball State sporting event. Like I just said, i like sports. I am usually pretty good about going to football and volleyball games but this year I was slacking. I went to just one volleyball game and no football games. Sports are fun, and I genuinely enjoy going to the games so I want to go to at least one event during the next 60 days. 

15. Do a Pinterest craft. I am a huge fan of pinterest, and I have an arts and craft board that I have never touched. I would not consider myself a crafty person, but that is no reason to not even try. 

16. Give up social media for a day. We live in a world that is completely immersed in twitter, facebook, instagram or dozens of other social media forums. I want to take a day where I put my phone down and just live in the here and now. 

17. Read a book. I love to read. While I find myself reading a lot of books in college, none of them are books that I have picked for myself. They are all assigned reading books. I want to read a book that I want to read. 

18. Learn to knit a scarf. I like the way homemade things look, especially homemade knitted things. I want to take the time to learn how to make a basic scarf and hopefully pick up a lifelong habit. 

19. Write thank you cards.  I used to be really good about writing thank you cards when needed. Now a days I am awful at it. I just tend to forget and now there is a list of people I need to write notes to and have forgotten. 

20. Learn the basics of photography. I just recently bought a new camera, and I want to learn how to use it. I often times see things or events that I want to capture and have just never had the means to. Now that I have a real camera, I want to use it to capture those moments. I just need to learn how first.

Road Trip!!!!

Y'all, sorry this is so late! I got home on Thursday and just haven't really wanted to pick up my computer to write about the trip. Partially because I've been lazy (sorry!) and another part I just do not know how to sum up my trip. 

Can I just start by saying, Kacie. You are a gem and I am so glad to be doing life with you. I love that we can go months without talking, and still be best friends when we do talk. Thanks for letting me stay with you lady!

Wilmington. I made a major life decision within moments of being in Wilmington and that was that I was going to live by the ocean for the rest of my life. Wilmington is just so cute, and whimsical...there was nothing about it that I didn't love. Plus, it has the ocean. I really can't see what else I could need in life. The ocean just makes you really look at your life and realize how silly some of the things you thought were big deals really are. 

The only thing I wish I could change about this trip is how long it was, I want to still be there. The sun, the warm air, the ocean. That is everything that spring break and life is suppose to be. 24 just is not enough. I am so glad I went though for a couple of different reasons why. 

1. I haven't seen the ocean in over 18 months, it was about time to change that. 2. I got to see Kacie! This was something my soul was longing for. 3. I took a trip, not because it was logical or because I needed to but because I wanted to and no one could tell me no. That is the best feeling. 

Guys, get out there. See something new. Go somewhere new. It doesn't have to be far away. Just explore. Life seems so much easier in a new place (especially the beach). It just soothes the soul. Do not ignore those wanderlust urges. Get out there and adventure. 

[defeatingsomeday]

Adventure 2

Hey y'all. I am so so excited to begin my second adventure tomorrow. This adventure is fulfilling 3 things I desperately wanted in my life. 1. It's helping me accomplish my senior thesis (big relief) 2. I'm getting to one of the most amazing people in the world tomorrow (kacie) 3. I'm getting to spend one day of my senior (SENIOR) spring break on the beach, IN a city I've never been too (Wilmington). 

That's right, tomorrow I'm taking a road trip. I'm pack and ready for a disgustingly early departure time. Haha, kidding. 8am is really not that early. I am so excited to be getting to visit wilmington tomorrow because duh, its the beach. BUT also because it is somewhere I've always wanted to see. 

As someone who has spend the last two months in the tundra that is know as Indiana, a beach is going to be a glorious site. I'll try and post more pictures as they come. 

AHHHH. This might just be the best one yet. 

[defeatingsomeday]

I think I'm officially road trip ready for tomorrow. 

[defeatingsomeday]

Adventure One

Day one of my 60 day challenge is complete, which means that adventure one is complete! Today I spent the whole day without a lick of make up on my face. For some this may seem like an easy task, but for me it never is. I am not someone who piles on the make up everyday, but I do at the very least have mascara on everyday. I never really feel comfortable with it. 

I thought today may have been an easy day of wearing no makeup. After all I was just working, and the babies at work don't care if I have make up on. Then I remembered I was baby sitting tonight for a family I had never met before. That made it a lot more challenging. You always want to make sure you are presenting yourself nicely when you meet new people and for me that usually means putting make up on. Not today! It wasn't even that bad. 

I don't think I'll be going without make up everyday from now on, but it was nice to not worry about it for a day. It was nice to just rejoice and be in my God given beauty without thinking about all of the flaws. I was just me. 

I'd say this adventure was a successful one. 

[defeatingsomeday]

I'm pretty sure I've missed my calling as an actress...but only as playing a women possessed. That last picture. What? 

But in all seriousness, here is proof of my make up less day. First in some nice selfies and then some funny faces because I can't take myself serious. 

[defeatingsomeday]

Hey y'all! 

I want to first say thank you so much for checking out this blog, it has been a long time in the making. This blog is a documentation of my senior thesis here at Ball State University. What is my senior thesis you ask? I have spent the past couple of months studying goal setting, what makes it effective and what causes individuals to not accomplish their goals. This has been something that since I have entered college I have not be very good at. Sure, I get my assignments turned in on time for class, but the other less academic things have fallen to the wayside. This is partially because of a lack of time, and another part just my tendency to say "tomorrow".  

I do not want to keep living my live in tomorrows. I want to do the things I want to do now! College is such a unique time. There are so many opportunities here that we do not get anywhere else. Will you come follow me as for the next sixty days I attempt to accomplish some goals I have set? 

For my thesis I am attempting a challenge I have decided to call Defeating Someday. For this I am giving myself 60 days (February 27th thru April 27th) to accomplish 20 adventures. I am calling these adventures for the simple fact that it makes it sound more fun for me, and for you. 

I will be using this blog to update you on the progress I have made in accomplishing these goals, as well as to share the knowledge about goal setting I have gained from writing my thesis. Photo's will be added to the blog as adventures call for it. 

Y'all. I am beyond excited to see this project come into actual being. My advisor and I have put so much work into this, to make it the best it could possibly be. The first adventure starts today as I will go the whole day without wearing makeup. To some this may seem like nothing at all, but for me it is a huge deal. Check back later to see how it goes!
