Suns out, Buns out!

This past weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to the magical and beautiful Del Mar, California with my National Charity League Group.  It was one of the best weekends this year because it was girl's only and was with my best friends.  

This past weekend was filled with giggles and laughter because of the amazing times we shared.  My favorite memory was when the life guard boat had to come to rescue us due to the fact we had drifted out so far in a riptide and the waves kept crashing on us.  It was definitely very scary at the moment, but afterwards we realized that this is something we will laugh at in the near future. I am now laughing at it... HAHA!  I hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend and a nice Monday off for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday. I will close with something he said, "The time is always right to do what is right."  So go out into the world and make a change! 

Here are a few photos from this past weekend in Del Mar, CA

Living in the outdoors

My fall semester is finally coming to an end, and I could say my grades are where I want them to be, but in reality, one of my classes I am very upset with myself.  Other than that, all my other classes are beyond my expectation from my entering the class in August. This week will officially be the end/beginning of semesters and I have had to endure the painfulness of studying 10hrs+ for every class for finals. (It paid off though, so it was worth it!)

As I have been trying to get my focus off from school and more into my life in general, I have been spending the majority of my time with my best friend Hannah.  You could say we are inseparable.  We have recently been going on hikes and exploring places in our beautiful town of Palos Verdes (for those of you who has no idea where that is, it is a small suburb of Los Angeles).  In addition, we are both on our school's sailing team, so we are out on the water 3x a week.  Our coach thinks the two of us are crazy because almost every practice we fall in, but that is the fun part in which no one else understands (the water is freezing too).

Besides sailing and hiking, I have not been traveling that much due to school, except the almost every weekend to Park City, UT which doesn't really count.  I am really looking forward to this upcoming weekend (Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend... so I have Monday off!!!) because my National Charity League group had rented a home in San Diego, and it should be a blast.  The sleep overs always are due to the constant laughter and fun we all share on our trips.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful rest of their week and that your weekend will be amazing, because I know mine will!

Here are a few photos of mine from these past few weeks:

This was from the Rosebowl Regatta at Alimetos Bay in Long Beach

This was one day at Cabrillo Beach Yacht Club.  A nice old man donated his 35ft sail boat to the club and so our team was able to take it out for an afternoon cruise!  It was so much fun.

Hannah and I love taking selfies while we are sailing.  This easy distraction must explain why we fall in so much!  If only it was that reason.

Alex (left), Hannah (right), Captain (the cute little dog) and I went for this beautiful sunrise hike on this trail I had never been on before in Palos Verdes.

This was from this fun hike we did today.

This was at the moment I realized that my new running shoes I got for Christmas had been covered in mud.  My mom was not too happy about that. :o

The field was just so beautiful.

And then we came home to this absolutely beautiful sunset and took a Jacuzzi.  The view is just so breathtaking and it never gets old!

I hope you enjoyed these photos.  Have a wonderful rest of your week and thanks for reading!

A winter wonderland

Winter, snow, winter, snow. These are my two happiest and favorite events during the year. You could say I am a snow bunny. Here are a few photos from my adventures in Park City, Utah and holiday parties galore! ❄️❄️❄️🎄

Golf...

Palos Verdes High School's Girl's Golf Program, is one in which I evidently participate in.  The season started on the very first day of school, and my peaceful days of doing nothing have come to an end.  I can only reminisce to my days of summer, but I have been participating in long days on the golf course.  Our team has been very successful on our home course (undefeated for four years), but we have only won a few matches away this year.  Our team really needs to bump up our game and bring in many more wins.  Tuesday is our very first League match, so it will count this week (feeling excited/nerve-racking).  Here are a few pics from my season so far.

Enjoying a beautiful Sunday Afternoon at the Los Angeles Country Club

And annoying one of our team members who got no sleep because we needed to be at a tournament at 5:45 A. M. which was 2 hours away and this was the after fact of 12 hours of golfing!!!

Until next time,

Summer Lovin'

As I am reminiscing over the summer days I so dearly miss, I wanted to take time to upload my photos from my trip.  This summer was one I will always remember because of all of the amazing people I had met during these past 3 months.  I started out my summer traveling to Switzerland for a junior leadership university! I was high up in the mountains, where it rained everyday.  And although we didn't get to do some of the activities we had planned on because of the rain, I was just as easily able to enjoy the warm indoors with my amazing friends from around the world.

The next part of my summer involved traveling to Southeast Asia to emerge myself into the Buddhist culture and lifestyle.  I saw so many amazing places and met so many amazing people.  The Southeast Asian people were all so friendly and loved smiling... especially the children.  Here are a few photos from that trip.
