The most delicious fries.

Tonight for dinner, the plan was sweet potato fries. I’ve read a lot about how coating fries in nut butter will change your life and so I tweaked the recipe a bit…

first, we cut the sweet potatoes into slender fry shapes. then mixed about 3 tbsp of peanut butter with 2 tbsp coconut oil. I tossed the fries in this mixture then added a bit of sea salt and cinnamon. Finally, I coated the fries with a tbsp of cornmeal and two tbsp of finely shredded unsweetened coconut and baked in the oven for about 25-35 minutes at 400ยบ.

end result:

deliciousness!

I am trying.

Honestly. I just haven’t told my parents that yet. I am though. Like. I’m going to see a counselor tomorrow morning. and I applied for my old job. I tried swim team, I’m doing yoga. I’m taking a chromium supplement and I’m trying to talk to my friends more. I’m trying to find avenues where I’ll make friends on campus, it’s just difficult for me. Lord knows why, because I’m really quite crazy and there’s no reason to be shy about it. butttt hey. It is what it is. Sometimes, it gets to Sunday nights, and I still haven’t done any homework because the thought of homework makes me a little bit nauseous. I hate thinking about school. For the most part, the school work itself isn’t that bad. but just the thought of it makes me recoil in horror. I suppose that might be an exageration. Tonight I need to:

  • read an article for GAMST, and find an article for Friday
  • write an english paper, shit, I need to buy paper. it’s just a 1pg review of a sonnet
  • read a lot for Anthro. and study.

And soon, like, this week soon, like tomorrow soon I should:

  • read the review of Langston Hughes
  • start prepping for my first paper
  • study chapter 5 and 6 for spanish test
  • go to Anthro review
  • study for anthro
  • write up that thing, about that article.

see. it doesn’t only feel overwhelming, it is overwhelming. and that makes me want to curl up in a ball and go to sleep and not wake up until graduation. or AFB. or Christmas Break, or Kenya. something less… like this.

new beginnings.

Balloons!

A chronicle of sorts.
I’ve always loved blogs, I just never had anything to say. I don’t even comment. I just read, loving other people’s lives. Buttttt in the effort of improving my mental health, I’m starting a yoga journey, and I need to keep myself in line, so welcome to life B.o.n.B.
As for the name, I don’t think this blog will be or should be all sunshines and rainbows. there will be strugles, but I need to talk about life, balloons or no balloons. It’s also a line from one of my favorite The Format songs ever, “Janet”.
So welcome to my life readers. As per usual, I have saved studying for the last minute and have a quiz tomorrow. But I promise more information on me and yoga and life forthcoming in the very near future.

Or, no balloons.
