Penguins, Home, Classes, and my RA

So today I'm just going to update you guys and just talk since I have nothing better to do! Isn't that the best way for a blog to be written though? From the heart without any layouts or planning? Yes. Well, I think so.

So I'm going to go over my day with you for those of you who care! :)

I had three classes today, joy.
I started at 9:25 in Cultural Anthropology and then went to English 10 minutes after that. I finished with those two classes around 11:50.
After class, I went to Crossroads (kind of like a buffet cafeteria type of thing for college students) with one of my roommates, Olivia, her twin sister and her sister's roommate! After lunch, I walked to my last class but had 40 minutes to blow so I literally sat in the lobby of the building my last class is in and listened to music. I was on Pinterest, Instagram, and SnapChat during that time now.
Finally, 1:40 came around and I went into my Intro to Sociology class which is boring as hell. I swear I nodded off four times in that one hour. God.
When Sociology ended, I walked slowly but surely back to my dorm room. One of my roommates was there, Haleigh. We talked about our personal lives and we got to know each other better. It was nice. Very nice. It was good to talk to someone.
Around 5:10, we left to go back to Crossroads to meet Connor, our other roommate, for dinner. Us three ate dinner together and then walked back to the dorm room together.

Since I got back, I've played on Club Penguin.
Yes
yes...
CLUB PENGUIN
My penguin:

ADD ME BITCHESSSSSSSSSSS! Be cool and make a club penguin or log in to your old one. It's actually pretttttyyy fun!

How you may ask? How and why have I been on club penguin?
WELL
I was laying on Haleigh's bed earlier and I saw a stuffed animal. I picked it up thinking it was a Webkinz. It wasn't but we got on that topic. I had 40 when I was younger. Yes, I know, 40 is crazy. I LOVED WEBKINZ, okay? OKAY?
So after dinner, I tried getting on my Webkin World thing and since it's been over a year since I've been on so it was acting weird. Also, it was taking forever to load. For some reason, I thought of Club Penguin and started playing that with one of my roommates! lol, I'm not playing anymore, for any of those wondering. It timed out because I was writing this.

I'm going home this weekend.
I know, change of subject and pace. Woah.
It's Labor Day weekend and my mothers birthday so I had planned since before college started to go home this weekend. I get Monday off so I'm staying a day longer!
On Sunday, my family is having a reunion type of thing so I'm seeing my moms side of the family. I'm excited for that! I need to pick out an outfit for that. lol. Then I think after that, my immediate family is going out to eat with my mom for her birthday. We're going to All State which is like a really good steak restaurant. Idk, maybe that's Monday. Haha. I think it's Sunday.
I don't know man, I'm just going with the flow this weekend. I'm happy to go home.
Very happy. I just feel calm at home.
I'm so tired at school.

ALSO, my RA is a cutie! lol
In the back of my mind I'm like.. what if he reads this??
HAHAHA, if so, HEY! You're cute!
He came to our room today to tell us about this open mic thing. Either way, he's super cute. I don't know much about him though.
LOLOL, since this is weird, I'm done talking about him. HAHAHAHA

okay, I love you guys!
thanks for reading!

Over the Weekend

I went home this weekend for the first time. I really enjoyed it. Really really enjoyed it. 

I didn't think that I'd really care to go home this weekend. It wasn't exactly planning and was a last minute decision. I haven't really been missing home so I thought going back this weekend would be no big deal. The moment I pulled into the driveway, I was just relaxed and relieved. I didn't really feel any different though, it was just like I'd been gone for a bit and came back, no biggy.

So Saturday, I hung out with my best friend who lives at home and I hung with her from noon to around 6:00 pm. I never really got to say goodbye to her before college. I had doubts, as usual, about us never talking about but now I realize that I was stupid. We're super close and our friendship isn't ending now! Yay! Anyways, Saturday was an overly great day. I love it.
When I dropped her off at home, we were laughing and when I drove off, I was just happy. It was a happy day. Then about 20 minutes later, she texted me saying that she had a wonderful day and to have a safe drive. It hit me that I had to go back to college without family and friends and I got a little sad. The text made me happy though.

Sunday, today, was good too. I woke up and my parents and I drove back to my dorms. My parents came to fix a few things with our TV in the living room to our dorm and my Xbox live. Of course, my dad being a tech guru fixed everything quickly. We went to Walmart and ate at McCalisters afterwards. Then I dropped them off at their car so they could go home. Driving off was the hard part. I realized that I was going back to my room alone and I got sad like I did after my friend texted me on Saturday.

Of course, I'm good now. I'm sitting here waiting of the MTV VMA's to come on. I'm super excited for performances and I'm going to skype with one of my friends while watching it! I'm also working on an essay that's due tomorrow. Yes, I've been procrastinating already. That's okay, I'll get it done before the VMA's come on.

Anyways, this post just kind of fills you in on my weekend and I guess I'm trying to say, spend as much time with your friends and family when you can because they may not always be around when you need them. Keep close with those you care deeply about and cherish the moments you have with others. I'm truly happy I went home this weekend and hung out with my parents and best friend! I smile and laugh thinking about everything that's happened in the past two days.

What I'm looking forward to:
Next weekend, Labor Day, I have a family reunion type gathering on Sunday and my mothers birthday is on Monday. I get to see my brother and his girlfriend. I won't get to see my friends next weekend but the weekend after this, Friday week, my best friend is visiting me at college.
She's going to come up, stay the weekend, meet my roomies, go to the aquarium, and walk around campus with me. It's going to be so much fun and I can't wait!

My Class Schedule:
Monday -

• First Year Studies 
• Intro to Mass Communications
• Math in our Modern World

Tuesday/Thursday - 

• Cultural Anthropology 
• Rhetoric and Composition 1
• Sociology

Wednesday/Friday - 

• Intro to Mass Communications
• Math in our Modern World

I have to go to a math lab for an hour this week too for an hour. It'll most likely be on either Tuesday or Thursday between classes. I have a long break. 

Thanks for reading! I hope you all had a great weekend too! Tell me about it in the comments! I'd love to hear what you did!

I love you guys!

Turning a New Page

Hey guys, starting now, today, I'm going to start posting my college experience. I've been on Pinterest for the last like three hours and I've decided that I want to write about my college experience for the next 4 years.


What made you want to do this by Pinterest? You may ask...

WELL,
I have a college board on Pinterest and I repined a bunch of college studying tips. When you click on the picture, it'll take you to another website. Usually a blog of some sort. Anyways, I went onto a blog called Real College Student of Atlanta and I thought, DUH, I could do this!

BACKGROUND INFO ON MY SCHOOLING:

I graduated high school on May 21, 2014! Senator Nation! :)
I started college in Chattanooga on August 18, 2014 and moved into my dorm room on August 14.
I live with three other girls in apartment style dorms. My roommates names are Olivia, Haleigh, and Connor. They were picked at random so I didn't know them before I came here. Haleigh and Connor were friends prior to coming to college so they knew each other. Olivia and I were in the same boat.
I came from Huntsville, Alabama and I'm now in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
I'm majoring in Communications and minoring (hopefully) in English.
I want to be a journalist and work my way up to editor and publisher. I hope to own my own publishing company someday.
I also really really really want to be a professional author.
But seeing as how hard that career choice is and I love writing so much, I'll go with journalism!

That should be it!
I'm hoping on posting videos along with my posts on different things so look out for those!
Thanks for reading this!
