Biking + Introductions

This week on the Je M'appelle Molly channel I put out 2 new videos. Tuesday's vlog was comprised of me and Amanda going on a bike ride, as well as a few other snippets from my weekend. Thursday's episode of The Molly Show featured a new face and I even threw in a little advice. I ALSO HIT 100 SUBSCRIBERS and I'm still in shock. Thanks to whoever is coming on this journey with me.

INTRODUCING EUNICE

NEW VIDEOS!

I'm officially THE WORST BLOGGER EVER. Please forgive me. I know it seems like lately my blog has turned into a dumping ground for my newest videos-- and that's because it has. I've just been super excited about what I've been creating over on the YouTubes, and I hope you don't mind too much. With that being said, I posted 2 new videos last week, and 2 more will go out this week (1 is actually up right now), so keep those eyeballs peeled. Ew gross. Thanks for being awesome. Hope you had a Happy 4th of July. Go watch and enjoy.

Finding Happiness

We're a couple weeks into the new year already, but I wanted to share one goal of mine that I've found to be quite helpful. This was a resolution of mine last year as well, which was to do more things that made me happy. Vague, yes, but it is something that I think is so important.

I've realized that I'm in a huge transitioning period of my life. I'm constantly trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I'm constantly taking new classes, living in new places, finding new part time jobs, etc, etc. I'm someone who doesn't always take changes easily... so this leads me to a lot of worrying, a lot of stress, and a lot of focus on the future instead of what's happening right now.

What I have to do, and what many of us surely need to do, is constantly remind ourselves that we deserve happiness. Whatever your worries are in life are assuredly valid, important reasons to stress about-- but we can't live with just the worries. We deserve to be happy. We deserve to do what it takes to find that happiness.

So do something that makes you happy. Start small-- take a walk, read a book, talk to an old friend, make cookies, donate your old clothes, or watch that movie you've been wanting to see. Then maybe move onto something big-- finally set a date, go on a mission trip, move, let go of a bad influence, lose that weight, or find a new job.

The thing I've realized about the typical New Year's Resolutions is that they're usually all things that will bring you happiness. Things that will better yourself. And remember that taking those steps to find happiness isn't a selfish thing... it's actually kind of necessary. You really deserve it.

Let me know one thing that you'll be doing to find happiness. I'll definitely be sharing some the things I do on here with you guys.

I hope you have a happy weekend.

Photo Friday

It's been a bit of a process adjusting to the end of Christmas, the New Year, and my schedule this semester. I have a lot of new & fun stuff to work on for you guys, but I'll be honest... this semester is going to be a doozy. Regardless of all that, it is finally Friday and I can regroup this weekend. I hope you all have been enjoying the new year so far. Here are a few Instagram photos from the past couple weeks-- from flea markets and Christmas trees, to wheelchair shenanigans (I'm not injured by the way).

Have a relaxing weekend!

New Year, New Hair

After many, many months of debating when I would actually chop off my hair, I finally decided I would do it for the new year. The last time I did a dramatic cut like this was during my Sophomore year of high school. Since I'm now in my Sophomore year of college (4 years later), I figured it was about time for a change. I'm not exactly sure how much I cut, I'm guessing 10-12 inches, but it will be sent off to Pantene's Beautiful Length program. Last time I cut it, I really missed my long hair. This go-around, I love it!

If you have any questions about long hair, short hair, or the switch, let me know! I plan to do a few more posts about it in the future.

Beginning

Today, I wanted to talk a little about resolutions. This time last year I think I came up with 4 New Year's resolutions... and I successfully reached 2 of them. So, because of my imminent failure I've made the decision not to make any resolutions. There are still goals I want to achieve of course, but labeling it a "resolution" just puts that weird pressure on it. I haven't finalized what those goals are, but I'm sure I'll share some sort of list on here soon.

Are you guys resolution makers? Let me know them in the comments! And I'd like to officially wish you all a Happy 2014! Even though I'm still dealing with the fact that Christmas is actually over, I'm very excited for this new year.

Happy Monday.

Back to School Thoughts

This month's Thursday Theme is all about going back to school. Since I head back tomorrow, I wanted to share a couple thoughts that I've been having with you all... I feel like I haven't done that in a while. It seems like yesterday I was headed to college for the first time, really not knowing what to expect. Although I've made some good friends and I sort of know what to expect from classes now, I have a bit of that same feeling. Sometimes we're just thrown into things and it takes a while to figure them out. You're in high school and all of the sudden you have to pick a college and a major, and once your there you have to think about a job, and money, and your future... and it can be really scary. I'm going into my Sophomore year though, so I do have some time to figure things out even if the thoughts are always in the back of your head. But, despite all the stress about future and all of that confusion, my goal for this year is to not worry too much. To just relax, have fun with my friends, find out where I fit into this crazy world... and of course get good grades. So I'll leave you with that, and with a few snapshots from my Freshman year.

July in Photos

At the beginning of the month I wrote this post, challenging myself to take a photo everyday of the month. I actually did it! Some of the photos were taking a little last minute (ex. a half eaten bagel + watching Tiny Furniture), but I did it. This month flew by, so I'm glad I was able to capture a little moment of each day. There were 31 days in July, so one photo is left out, but you'll see it next week on Photo Friday!

Did any of you take on the challenge? Should I keep going? And of course, have a happy weekend!

New Project

This "New Project" is inspired by Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter. She just finished up her 30 Day Snap series on her blog and posted the final collage of all the pictures yesterday. I thought it would be a fun challenge for myself to take a picture every single day and make a lovely compilation of them all at the end of each month. I won't be uploading a picture on here every day, and I will continue with Photo Fridays, but there will just be a fun collage of all the photos at the end of the month, similar to Louise's in this post... that is if I remember to snap a picture everyday. :)

Wish me luck!
