Magical Monday

Way back when I first started this blog, I came up with "Magical Monday" as a way to make Mondays a little easier and to help me think positively. It ended up being my favorite thing to post, and the one thing that I really looked forward to doing every week, so naturally, I decided to continue it now that I'm blogging again.

Anyways, here's what I've been loving lately:

1. This blog. I have been thinking about restarting this blog on and off pretty much since I stopped writing on it, but I kept telling myself I needed to wait until I had more time to devote to it or until the "time was right." But I've been obsessed with The Everygirl lately and they're all about going after what you want, so I thought, why not? Clearly, waiting for everything to be perfect wasn't happening. Anyways, that was my long-winded way of saying that I really am excited to be blogging again.

2. Seeing friends who've graduated. One of the problems of being a senior is that some of your friends have already graduated. Which sucks when you used to hang out with them on a daily basis. But this past weekend a friend I hadn't seen since she graduated last May was in town. It was so good to finally see her again! Not only that, but this coming weekend, a friend is coming to visit, and I haven't seen her since a few other friends and I drove to visit her over President's Day Weekend (a six hour drive).

3. Downton Abbey. Oh my god, I am completely obsessed. A few of my friends are obsessed, but I hadn't gotten around to watching it until a couple weeks ago, and I am so, so glad I did. It is seriously perfect. It's got the perfect amount of wit and drama, and it's British, which really just adds to how amazing it is, and I just cannot recommend Downton enough. Though, I must say, this past season broke my heart...

4. Working out. Well, I don't love the physical act of working out, but I love how committed I've been to my workouts lately, and I love the feeling of accomplishment that comes along with a good workout.

5. Cookie dough. I am seriously obsessed with cookie dough. Like, I could probably eat an entire thing of it in one go. Luckily, I have a little bit of self-control, so I stop myself (though I have come a little closer to that more times than I would like to admit). But they finally had it in stock at the store after having been out of it all last month, so naturally I had to pick some up. I guess it's a good thing I've been working out, huh?
