Spanish Song of the day: per my roommate

Am I the only one who puts a song on repeat once I fall in love with it? I listen to it over and over and over again. 

This happens often with me especially if I'm cleaning my room or having a dance party with Jenae! :) I wasn't a huge fan of Spanish music before we roomed together, but recently some of the songs she's showed me, I'm hooked. Hello Pitbull ;) 

PS: i can't believe it's been almost a year since we met each other. and I can't believe that I'm halfway done with this semester. 

Summer '12 

Today, it's this song by Tacabro called Tacata. 

It's so catchy and upbeat and it makes me wanna go HAM and dance all afternoon. Dance parties are perfect for midterm destressing right? Of course.

On that note, we're off to go tanning and eat ice cream. Er, and maybe study too. 

Die Young

This might be my new favorite song.

It's so catchy.

My roommate and I dance to it at least twice a day.

Usually without pants on. 

Speaking of pants hating, she left this treat on my facebook wall on Monday. I died

It's true. I HATE pants. 

She knows the first thing I do is take them off when I get back from class.

Keeping it real,

What I've learned: the good, the bad, and the ugly

Freshmeat 

College 

One of the most incredible times. One of the most terrifying times. I've learned so much and I've only been here over a month. 

I've been meaning to do a braindump and write about all the crazy memories that I've already made, but my life has been cray. 

School: Some teachers are awesome, like total rockstars. They let us out of class early, make jokes in class, and declare Friday, Youtube Friday. Other classes having me wanting to shoot myself. Loooooong boring lectures and homework in large ungodly doses.

Workstudy: I interviewed for several workstudy jobs in August. I was hired to be the Office Assistant one of the guys' dorms. The athletic dorm. I'm not complaining. I love my job. I meet lots of super attractive athletic studs people. Need I say more? I got lucky for sure.

Sleep: Naps in the middle of the day are quite possibly the best thing about college. Ok I'm kidding, but seriously, it's awesome. I get back from class at around 11, and I don't have another class till 1. Snooze time! This just really makes up for the few hours of sleep I get every night. 

Dorm Life: It's like a giant sleepover every night. Enough said. 

My RA: Katie Baker. She's awesome! I love going into her room and having heart to heart talks with her. 

Friends: I LOVE all the people that I'm meeting! I love all the memories that I'm making. Embarrassing, funny, serious, awkward. 

Family: It's so weird calling/texting my parents during the day and not being able to talk with them in person. But I'm learning so much being away from home and I'm only an hour away. My mom bribes me with homemade food and free laundry :)

Fresh Elections!

Merry! My floor big sister :) seriously love her!

Big Sister/Little Sister Floor Dates

My life is crazy. Blogging will be at a minimum, but I'm completely ok with that. I love my life. I'm so blessed. I'll try to update every once in a while.

Oxox,

First Few Days

where do I begin? There has been so many memories already. Good, funny, embarrassing....

Friday: Moved in, met my roommate/suitemates. First meal in the caf, met some of my professors, worship at sunset and ice cream on the lawn.

Saturday: We listened to some student panels, and then we headed out to Convoy of Hope and we bagged rice! It actually was a ton of fun!!! Our team bagged enough rice for 60,000 meals for their hunger program. 

Saturday night we had a comedian and then coffee in the Joust. I'm trying to meet new people and get connected. baby steps.

Sunday: Chapel service for all incoming freshman and my fam! BBQ lunch and then came the sad part. goodbye :( yes I know my house is only an hour away, but still. My family prayed for me and then hugged me goodbye. I did okay until my dad hugged me. He teared up. I am his little girl! We are so close.

Sunday night we watched started watching Avengers, and then ended up going to Walmart and buying snacks. Yes that happened. 

Monday we had a ton of sessions for academic prep, EU student life etc etc etc. Last night, we went downtown and ate at this cute little bistro, shopped a little. Our night ended with watching a massive fight on the square that ended up with us calling the cops, an ambulance, cussing and some blood. Cray cray. 

Today, we had our first chapel, and now we have chill time until a dorm meeting and activities on the lawn. Yes I understand these types of posts are long and boring, but I'm trying to remember all the little details.


Here are some funnies:

Tessa (suitemate) "It's OK everybody's butthole stinks" In response to me telling her we needed Febreeze in the bathroom. Classy

"I have a VI" (va jay jay itch)

Me: "Tessa look I found this earring in your cupholder" Tessa: EWWW!! It's sticky!! *proceeds to chuck the earring out her window, while driving" hahaha


Every night has ended on the couch with Jenae, watching Pretty Little Liars! I'm hooked!!

I'm off to lunch!!
