"You contribute nothing to your salvation except the sin that made it necessary."

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”

- C.S. Lewis (via franklinanklin)

himynameisabi:

Within this Christian vision for marriage, here’s what it means to fall in love. It is to look at another person and get a glimpse of the person God is creating, and to say, “I see who God is making you, and it excites me! I want to be part of that. I want to partner with you and God in the…

“We don’t have a word for the opposite of loneliness, but if we did, I could say that’s what I want in life. It’s not quite love and it’s not quite community; it’s just this feeling that there are people, an abundance of people, who are in this together. Who are on your team. When the check is paid and you stay at the table. When it’s four a.m. and no one goes to bed. That night with the guitar. That night we can’t remember. That time we did, we went, we saw, we laughed, we felt.”

- Marina Keegan, The Opposite of Loneliness

Is it weird that all i ever want to spend time thinking about is getting married and having kids?

Actually I’m most excited about having and raising kids. The husband is just a necessary component. (Kidding. Kind of.)

Yesterday’s Unity fashion show consisted of me staring at all the models’ legs and wishing mine were as awesome as theirs. But genetics aside, those legs would only be possible if I had never picked up sports. And a life with skinny model legs is far less satisfying than a life playing soccer and ultimate.

My life is comprised of two completely contradictory types of days: having absolutely nothing to do and being really lazy versus having a crazily packed schedule that has you sprinting from one meeting to the next.

Why can’t I just find the balance?
Ideal: A still relatively busy day where none of my meetings overlap and I have some time to sit down and eat a real meal and catch my breath.

Seriously, a perfect day. I have to study now for my final...

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 21:13:00 -0400

Seriously, a perfect day. I have to study now for my final tomorrow, but I don’t regret a second of the time I spent on the Lakefill today :)

Days like today make me wonder how someone could pick any other school over Northwestern <3

things to be excited about.

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:31:00 -0500

Just a handful of exams/papers to get through until the end of winter quarter.
SPRING BREAK IN TEXAS. Booked my flight home from Austin a few minutes ago. 19 more days!!!!
Probably living off-campus next year?! Debating between a bigger, cheaper house versus a smaller but more nicely furnished apartment.

hey care to tell me your stats that got u into northwestern?

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:27:00 -0500

Not quite sure why I’m answering this since it’s an anonymous question… but yeah, my stats weren’t stellar, especially considering the fact that I went to the biggest nerd school in NJ. Anyways:

SAT - 2230
ACT - 35
SATII - 800 Math2c, 720 Lit, 700 US History
GPA - 3.67/4.0 (definitely dropped a lot more by the end of senior year)
Extracurriculars: 4 years of Harvesters, secretary & senior leader; 4 years on the varsity fencing team, 1 year squad captain; 3 years in DECA, went to Nationals junior year; 2 years as a middle school tutor; 3 years teaching soccer to mentally-disabled kids.
Oh and I was in the 2-year IB Diploma program. It kicked my ass, but I still got my IB diploma.

That’s it. I also think it’s a complete fluke that I got into NU, lol.

Time to buckle down until the end of winter quarter.

3 exams, 2 papers, and 1 presentation away from the freedom that is spring break. As much as I’m enjoying my time in college, I’m ready for a nice, relaxing break. 26 1/2 days until Corpus Christi and beautiful warm weather and the beach and Texas Centex and GETTIN’ MAH TAN ON!

Things that will help me survive the hell that is to come:

Hayeon’s visiting in 3 days!
the aftermath of Dance Marathon (teehee)
class registration this Thursday — actually this can either be really good or really bad.

oh look, it’s getting light out. good night everyone.

Thoughts at 5 am in the morning:

I should learn to procrastinate less and study more effectively.
Dang, Childish Gambino is perfect for my mood right now.
Whoa, winter quarter is actually passing by pretty quickly.
The previous statement makes me sad :( I love college.
My schedule is packed from now until finals week, but I kind of like being busy.
The more I think about it, the more pumped I get to spend spring break with the frisbee team (SB2K12 with the Nuts and Hos!). Beach lovin’ and practicing layouts in the sand for a week! Hopefully I can come back to campus spring quarter with a nice, natural tan.
Why am I fantasizing about spring break right now? I have a midterm in 10 hours.
I’m really excited for Hayeon to visit me next week, teehee. Can’t wait to show off NU to another BCA kid.
I need to get my act together for spring quarter. Moderation is key!!!!

Zone defense...

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:44:35 -0500

is so much running. As soon as you mark up, they swing it and then you’re sprinting, trying to beat the disc to the handler so that they can’t huck it down the line and gain massive yardage or worse, reach the endzone. Sprint sprint sprint, force center, switch marks, back and forth, RUNNNNN. You’re out of breath but you have to call the stall count! Omg the handler’s open— UPPP.

Just think about spring break. Think about spring break. Think about spring break. All this running is doing wonders (I hope).

I WILL ACHIEVE WHITE GIRL ABS so that i can flaunt them on the beach in Texas over spring break.

Dudeskis, have I ever mentioned how much I love Ultimate?

It irritates me that I get irritated so easily.

One of the things I love the most about college is FRISBEE.

I joined because I thought it’d be chill and fun way to stay in shape. NOPE. The first couple weeks of practice whooped my ass so bad, and I discovered that the world of competitive ultimate frisbee is nothing like the friendly games we played at CTY. I learned what a handler and cutter did, how to mark and force flick or backhand, how to dishy and huck the frisbee, and how to set a stack and run different handler sets. It’s a huge time commitment since there are 3-4 late night practices a week plus workouts on the weekends, and sometimes all the different plays can get confusing (wait cut to the break side? am I supposed to be marking deep-deep?). And I still have a loooot to learn to be even half as good as our current captains, but I love it!!

Frisbee is totally an underrated sport. People don’t realize that ultimate frisbee can be just as competitive as soccer or lacrosse. Plus frisbee guys are pretty in shape and tend to take their shirts off at tournaments ;)

SO MUCH GUNGHO LOVE <3
