Hello everyone!
I apologize, I know it's been so long since I've updated last. I have no real excuse, other than I has indeed been a crazy busy time recently. As some of you may or may not know, it is finals week in college!! And if you go to an intense school like mine, you'd be having massive work loads for the past couple of weeks! FORTUNATELY, I am pulling through it all well! I have had two finals so far; and received A's on BOTH!! It's awesome to see and feel that all my hard work and dedication to my work is paying off. And I actually feel like I am learning quite a bit!
Moreover, my work with our newspaper has gotten better as well, although now the paper is finished until next semester. On that note, next semester will test all my skills; I will be taking all very difficult classes, and I am expecting no mercy. So, I am debating not working for the Oracle again. It was nice to have that small income coming in, but I will need a better paying job.
Only two more days, and two more final exams to go!! Religions and Communications! I am studying for both of them in depth, you may feel the class was easy as pie, but when it comes to a final exam, you never know what you'll get. I'm trying to keep my head up.
On the other side of college - the social side; I couldn't love my family here more. We went out to a lovely Christmas feast at Bucca di Beppo last night and all dressed nicely and simply enjoyed each other's company!
CHRISTMAS IS COMING VERY SOON!! No matter what you celebrate, happy holidays to everyone! Be safe and warm this season, and get some loving family time in! I can't wait to get home and see everyone!
Life is really falling into place for me, and I couldn't be happier.
So, wherever you are in college, or in celebration, keep breathing and stay happy everyone!!
-Sof xoxo

Happy Beginning of the Holidays!!
Hello everyone!
We all know Thanksgiving is just around the corner...and then of course Christmas is following right on behind it. But no matter what you celebrate or how you celebrate it, I wanted to say that I hope everyone has happy holidays, and spends some time with their families!
I get to return to Neenah on Wednesday, my brother is picking me up from campus right after my last class at 3. :)))
Words cannot express how excited I am to get home and see my family, lay in my bed, hug my dog, and see my friends off at other colleges.

It will be so nice to be reunited with the Mercury crew. I hope everyone is well.
Until then, I'm off to continue working my endless amounts of homework! Keep breathing everyone and have a great rest of your week!
Happy Thanksgiving (to be).

Sweater weather.
Hello all!
I hope everyone is having a good Monday, and enjoyed some good sleep last night!
I wanted to take this time to make sure everyone who is feeling the cold weather these days, is bundling up! This morning, (sometime around 3 or 4 am) we had our first snowfall, and I woke up to a very, very cold, brisk day. Make sure to keep warm, everyone! And stay healthy, especially if you're working as hard as us college kids are these days!
I thought I'd make a quick list of all the things I love for the cold weather.
- SWEATERS. Hence the title of this post - I just love wearing my large, over sized sweaters while studying in my dorm, or the student center.
- HOT Starbucks drinks! Especially a hot, chai tea latte with whip. It's delicious! For the holidays, Starbucks is also offering fun drinks like the caramel brulee latte, and the eggnog latte!
- Scarves, and hats! Making sure to wear these extra layers while walking to class - it really helps!
- Boots - With thick socks. Right now I've been loving wearing tights with boots and a dress or skirt. Don't forget a jacket!
- Hot soup - Need I explain my theory behind this?
-Anything with cinnamon. - Just such a warming scent and taste, especially in cakes, cookies and drinks.
These are all I could come up with for today! I'm sure there will be more very soon!
Stay warm and keep breathing!

Going abroad.
An overdue hello.
Hello all,
I apologize for taking so long to post! It's been crazy these days, I know it's no excuse! Here are some exciting updates!
I had midterms for my first semester, and so far so good! I am getting mostly A's and a B+...which is awesome, even though it has been a lot of work to get to this point. I will be registering for classes next week, and I am beginning to create my four year plan for my college degree! It's an exciting process, but also extremely terrifying.
I have changed my major, and with these changes, I have people on my side, and I finally know what I want...what I need to do with my life.
I plan to double major in Global Studies and International Journalism with a minor in Middle Eastern studies! I couldn't be more excited, as I get to take Arabic at Macalester next year. It will probably be the hardest class of my life, but I need this right now.
There is so much happening with my personal life...yet at the same time, nothing is moving forward at all with my friends from high school, I think it's strange, yet exciting and great how everyone is finding their paths... I just wish the best for all of them. All of them.
As for me, I love to be keeping busy! Whether it be with the endless amount of papers I am writing, or working for the Oracle, my school's newspaper, or making meetings and connections with future colleagues and advisers. It's crazy. Absolutely insane, but I love it.
I can't wait to get home for Thanksgiving, though I'll be working at the Y again over break, and I won't be able to stay for J term, because of work. I'm still excited to get back home for a bit to see friends and family!
For all my family out there who keep up with my blog, if you ever want to write to me I'd absolutely appreciate it, and will try my hardest to write back!!
My address is:
Sofia White c/o Hamline University
1536 Hewitt Ave. p.o. box 2747

I hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying life! Stay happy and keep breathing!

"And there's still a lot of hurt left over."
hey guys,
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, and is ready for another long, chilly week!
I had an awesome weekend, especially Friday!
Today however, I am feeling quite in the dumps. I don't know why...nothing too out of the ordinary happened, I got some weird news from a friend over the phone that got me thinking about another friend of mine.
Also, I've been really thinking about the past today. For a few reasons, possibly. But, throughout the course of the day I've had a couple flashbacks to a couple years ago, and even just last year/last summer. Some are very happy, some are sad.
Both leave me crying.
Maybe I just need some sleep. Have a great Sunday, everyone. I love you all and keep breathing!

^^^ I'll leave you with the song of the day.

Thursday night update.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thursday, and getting ready for a fun, (chilly) weekend.
It's very cold here in Saint Paul tonight, so I'm making myself a hot cup of tea...though it's definitely not as beautiful as this picture I found...
Anyway, stay warm, and if you're a college or high school student, get some sleep tonight. <3
