{Sort of like a “Friday Five” or a “Life Lately” except it’s probably not Friday, and I gave up on the idea of a catchy alliteration. These are some bits and pieces of my glam #postgradlife. See past posts HERE}

I still haven’t been really motivated to blog lately, but I realized yesterday that I have not done a So There’s That post since LAST SEPTEMBER. That’s pretty bad considering they are the easiest type of post that I do, AND my random word document that I keep a running list of things I see and might want to share later was four pages long.
Anyhow…
1. Insta-Inspiration
“This quote really resonates with me lately. I think recognizing fear is important because it reminds us we are human. But I also think fear helps shine a light on the things we are passionate about — the things that move us enough that find a way to be fearless in our pursuit.”
2. Happy Anniversary
Earlier this week on Feb. 22, my Grammy and Grampy celebrated 48 years together! My sister shared this cute picture that made me laugh and my caption on social media was, “The question is, are these look of love, or are they in the middle of a sassy conversation?”
These were the comments…
(Gloria – Grammy; David – Grampy; Lisa – Cousin; Susan – Great Aunt)
3. Happy FFA Week
Every year, this week makes me a bit nostalgic. That blue jacket and my experiences in it account for so much of who I am today. A few years ago I wrote about “After Unzipping the Blue Jacket” and this year my friend Nicole wrote a great blog post on “If My FFA Jacket Could Talk…” She makes a reference to rat stomping…don’t worry, its just this weird thing that apparently only kids in Hermiston, OR do.
4. Bill Gates’ Book Reviews
I am always interested in what different leaders are reading, and thought this blog of book lists and reviews was really interesting.

5. Grandma’s Explain Millennial Terms

This is hysterical, and now I want to be friends with this ladies.
6. Kacey Musgraves Covers Yellow
I am usually really skeptical when people cover one of my all-time favorite songs. But not this time. Kacey Musgraves cover of Coldplay’s “Yellow” was beautiful.
7. Gems Found on The Timehop App
I think this in response to however I wished my uncle a Happy Birthday while he was studying abroad in Spain. Who knows, I’m weird because he is really weird.
But his advice for broccoli is still pretty spot on.
8. Because I Just Can’t Let ‘The Hunger Games’ Go Yet
19 Times Tumbler Got Totally Real About “The Hunger Games”
9. Speaking of J-Law

“THIS IS NOT A DRILL”
Seriously girl, I feel ya.
10. Steven Tyler with a Street Musician
I always think random things like this are so cool.
11. The Setup Wizard

Fellow HP friends, you are so very welcome.
12. Getting Random Texts Like These From Friends
13. Gal Pals
Why Women Need Their Girlfriends
This Huffington Post article is being passed around this week on Facebook, and to be honest, I actually teared up a little bit (and that doesn’t happen often.) Having lived in three different time zones now, I realize more and more how important my close girlfriends are to me.
14. According to Leo
I recently sent this to my little sister who is a senior in her last semester of college.
She wasn’t very amused.
15. And Then I’ll Leave You With This
This was a Snapchat picture from the passenger seat of a moving car, so you can imagine how pretty it was in person.

So, There’s That.
Cheers!
