LET'S GET DEEP: My hopes & dreams?! (My "Great Perhaps")


Hello! I am back with another blog post! Blogging is so great like I don't know why I stopped! Anyways, I felt like writing a post about all the things I wish to accomplish in my short life. I plan to live every single minute doing something great -- whether it's filming a video, traveling, or just enjoying a great day! I'm looking to find my "Great Perhaps", which is mentioned in the book "Looking For Alaska" by John Green. I interpreted as finding what drives one to be who they are or what one was meant to do in their life. I don't know what mine is, but I'm sure hoping to find my "Great Perhaps" before I die.

Whilst drinking some Caribou Coffee (which I just did a post about two days ago, so click here to see that), I found myself thinking about life, my "Great Perhaps", and how fast my life has gone. I can remember the day I started Kindergarten, nervous for the first day of the rest of my life (education-wise), and now, I find myself in 10th grade, sophomore year, studying for tests for college/university, taking classes that will challenge me, and just learning more about life. It's crazy how much time can fly by! I'm really thinking about just doing a "Throughout The Years" video diary series on my vlog [video-blog] channel. This video series was started a while ago, and basically means I will have a video accompanying pictures/papers/etc. of each grade, such as Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, and so on. 

I will try to get those videos up when I can. You guys will all have an insight on my embarrassing, eventful, and interesting things that have happened throughout the years! I plan on continuing to do these "throughout the years" videos until I graduate from college. My biggest goals/dreams are to work at a job that I am happy with, to continue blogging, and to travel the world and vlog it all for you to see! I realize that it's very cliche and that many people share the same dream -- some never getting to pursue it. It's not in my dreams to have a job solely on the fact that it pays well. I want to pursue a career that can get me up in the morning with a smile on my face; not one where I have to drag myself to work every day. To be honest, one of the saddest things is seeing people who hate their jobs! Of course traveling is a huge dream of mine -- just seeing places and things I haven't seen before truly brings me happiness!

Thanks for reading this long, deep post! Love you all. Happy Thursday!

XOXO,
Teresa

My TOP 3 Favorite Drinks at Caribou Coffee!


Hey nuggets! I am back with another blog post about my favorite coffee drinks! I actually just came home from Caribou with one of my good friends, so I figured why not post about my favorite Caribou Coffee drinks, since I have done a post about Starbucks already! 

Caribou Coffee has many various locations but particularly more in the state in which I live {Minnesota} because it was originated here! [229 locations in Minnesota!!] If you've ever had Caribou, you'd know it's DELICIOUS! It's so easily accessible to me & a little cheaper than Starbucks!

3.) Campfire Mocha: Such an adorable name for such a tasty drink! This tastes like it sounds -- marshmallow flavoring and choice of your chocolate (white, milk, or dark) steamed into a delicious mixture from HEAVEN! I do not like this blended or iced (it's really gross).... I ONLY like it as a hot steamed drink!! [For more information & nutrition facts click here!]

2.) Caramel High Rise Cooler: Instead of calling blended coffee drinks "Frappuccinos" at Starbucks, Caribou calls their blended coffee drinks "Coolers". Definitely try this drink if you love caramel like me!! [For more information & nutrition facts click here!]

1.) Iced Turtle Mocha: BEST DRINK EVER! This is my #1 for a reason! Get the Iced Turtle Mocha, ("over the rocks" as your Caribou barista might say -- meaning the ice is not blended into the drink, but coffee is poured over ice), with white chocolate. The first time I tried this I didn't know how I felt, but my life is so much better with Turtle Mochas. Honestly, these are delicious, whether you get it hot, iced or blended. It's just coffee mixed with caramel. If you get this hot or blended, they even top this drink with Snicker pieces! YUMMY! Ok, I could go on for days about this, but I think I should get some homework done!
