My junior year at Loyola starts in 10 days. As the title to this blog post clearly states – I’m not ready, at all.

Between working all the time and moving out, this summer has flown by. I still have so much to do in the upcoming week – I still need to buy my textbooks, school supplies and get ready for my clinical, among other tasks. However, there is one thing I have already done. And that’s get and decorate my planner.

In high school, I didn’t really use an assignment notebook until my senior year, when I needed to organize clubs and college applications and all of my AP classes. Now, at least during the school year, you won’t see my anywhere without it.

This year, I opted for a black model from Barnes and Noble, covered with some of my favorite quotes.

Since I’m completely bogged down and don’t really have time to share all my pre school prep with y’all, I’d though I’d at least share all of the quotes!

Enjoy, and talk to you when I’m more settled with things!

“Because she wasn’t listening. It wasn’t a war story. It was a love story.”
“Ridiculous. There is no ordinary person.”
“People say that they can’t run away from their problems. But you know what? They just weren’t running fast enough.”
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
“I often carry things to read/so that I will not to have to look at/ the people.”
“Don’t blink. Blink and you’re dead.”
“It is nothing to die, it is horrible not to live.”
“But this too is true: stories can save us.”
“Fifty years from now, when you’re looking back at your life, don’t you want to be able to say you had the guys to get in the car?”
“Does the human hear know chasms so abysmal?”
“I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dream of improbable dreams.”
“‘I just won’t sleep,’ I decided. There were so many other interesting things to do.”
