Ripped Pants

One of the worst things in life is when something is hilariously funny and you CAN'T laugh.  It's the worst.

Today: we had a guest professor and he was lecturing on something very serious. Sex Trafficking.

Then he walked over to the computer to switch slides and out of nowhere his pants ripped. RIPPED!

RIPPED!

I died.

pretend this hole is 10x bigger
 and in a more awkward place

I lost it.

I started laughing. My suitemate Tessa that sits next to me starts dying of laughter.

And the prof just kept right on lecturing. 

He finally said something and laughed it off, only about 15 minutes after the fact.

Call me a child, but I couldn't hold it in.

Then I tweeted about it.

SUE.ME.

Actually don't. I'm a poor college kid with no money. 

#neverforget

Today is the 11st anniversary of September 11th, 2001. 

Where were you?

I remember I was sitting in my living room early in the morning. I was 8 years old. My dad called my mom and said turn on the TV.

My dad worked in downtown PA and as soon as the first plane hit, their hotel went on lockdown because it was connected to the airport. I remember being very confused.

I vaguely remember the details of that day. I just mostly remember lots of pictures, TV reports, and sadness.

No Toilet Paper. My luck

I should just start a label for my blog titled Emily's luck. or lack of. 

I'm dead serious. My luck is so bad.

Picture this. 12:56. Class begins at 1 down the hall.

I HAVE to pee. Sitting through economics class for 50 minutes without a bathroom is just not an option. 

I take my 22 pound backpack, plus self into said stall. I quickly begin to relieve myself only to realize there is no toilet paper. Aunt Flow is also here for her monthly visit so dripping dry or doing without just can't happen. 

Side note: I NEVER do the above, but a girl has got to think of all her options in a crisis.

So I decided I need to call for help. So I nicely yell in the cracks to the next stall for some TP. No answer. I try again this time a little bit louder. It is getting super embarrassing. The bathroom is full of college girls too. FreshMEAT right here. 

Finally, I reach my hand under the door and grab onto her boots and get the girl's attention. "I'm so sorry, but I need some TP". Much to my relief, the girl was sups sweet and gave me some. 

I'm sure she was rolling her eyes and wiping off her bedazzled boots where I put my hands. I'm pretty sure of it anyways.

and that my friends is my embarrassing story for today.

Happy Monday to me.

Guest Post: Random Roommate

Hi Lovers!! I'm busy getting settled into college and all the new transitions! I'm SO excited to have Lauren guest blogging for me today! She's so cute and I just love her blog! Make sure to stop by and say hey!!! 


Hi! My name is Lauren and I blog over at Life.Love.Lauren and I am stoked to be apart of Emily's blog! So while Emily is getting settled into school, I thought I would relive some of my first entering into college.

I went to New Mexico State University and graduated in December 2011 with my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. I swam competitively in high school and looked at many schools with swimming scholarships. But somewhere in all of that I decided that I wanted to major in nursing and that my education came first before my swimming. So therefore I got a full ride academic scholarship to NMSU. I wanted to come out of school with no debt. It also helped that my boyfriend (who turned out to be my husband) also chose to go to NMSU. (He was super smart and got offers from UT Austin, MIT, etc in engineering.) 

I remember I decided to go with getting a random roommate because I wanted the experience of meeting someone new and not messing up a current friendship by finding out that I couldn't live with that person. So in comes Karla my freshman roommate. She had never done laundry before (No worries, I taught her) and came from a totally different place than I did. She was definitely nice enough and we end up getting along. That is all you need! You don't need to make a best friend out of every person you meet, but just enjoy every experience you have. If it wasn't for Karla I wouldn't have met one my best guy friends!

So without further ado, let me embarrass myself with pictures!

Me walking out of my dorm the first day of school. Yeah I would kill to be that skinny again!

And yes my side was the clean side.

Karla and I taking a ski trip

Well thank you to Emily for letting me relive a drip of my college experience. I wish you the best Emily with what the next couple of years have to offer you!!

Summer after Highschool: '12

My summer was crazy full. I work 60+ hours a week and I really wanted to make time for my friends/family and make lots of memories. Especially because lots of my friends were going to college out of state and I didn't know when I would see them again.

Late nights spent at Applebee's or Starbucks. Pool days and lake nights, movies, hammocking. Little bit of everything. 

Here goes my insanely long Summa '12 recap. In no particular order. I just want to remember every detail.
