Kicking College Butt.

               For everybody who thought I wasn't going to keep my blog up, SAY HELLO TO POST NUMBER 2. boomshakalaka. hahaha wow 2 whole posts. I am such a cool kid! Anyway... I have survived my first week of college! Let's all just take a moment to appreciate this. Give yourself a high five since I can't give you one. Not going to lie, I like it a lot more than I thought I was going to. I may or may not have come here with this whole attitude of "this isn't my home, I will be so homesick. I don't want to sleep here. I want my parents to come back" blah blah blah whine whine whine. So I can proudly declare now...I LOVE COLLEGE :) Granted, I will be the first to admit that it is a whole lot harder than I thought it would be. I am already spending a good sum of my time studying. And if you knew me in high school...this will blow your mind. Mom, are you proud?! :) But I am really enjoying all of my classes and the dynamic of campus. I seriously will see people and be like oh, they're in this class with me or they live in Eccles with me, they're in my ward, they go to church in my building, etc. It's such a small school and campus that it's almost like everybody knows everybody. It's really nice :) Smaller classes make for a better learning and much more personal learning experience. It's quite delightful!

               So I had my first "college weekend" and let me tell you...I have never had so much fun in my entire life. A lot of the fun I have had I definitely owe to my roommate Kim. Let's just take a second and rave about how great she is. Kim and I met at Be the Best You (a camp for girls. google it. its most excellent) last summer. We were in the same group and became pretty good friends. While at BBY I had just graduated early and was telling her how excited I was to come to SUU. Lucky me, that's the school she would be going to in the fall! we kept in contact and decided we wanted to be roommates. Best decision I have made yet. She is HILARIOUS. We have really similar senses of humor, which is quite unique since I am such a weirdo. We have so much fun together and she is a really great friend. We respect each other and our differences, but she definitely inspires me to be a better person all together. I am just really grateful for that lady. Also, she's a total bombshell and we wear the same size clothes. So perks for that. She has attractive friends and cute clothes. Best roommate ever :) Anyway, she let me follow her around like a lost puppy this week and hasn't complained once. What a trooper.

               Last week was welcome back week so there was a campus activity going on every single day. I am going to miss that because it gave me an excuse to not study and go and do something fun. boo. So Monday they had cookies and a free photo booth, which was delightful. Tuesday they did a "Dive In Movie" where the student body was invited to go over to the pool, go swimming and watch a movie. We were there for maybe 20 minutes. Maybe. :/ Wednesday they brought in a comedian. Holy cow, I laughed so hard! It was good, somewhat clean humor.  But I mean, who doesn't like to laugh? :) Thursday they did a club fair...but I didn't commit to anything too exciting. After was the rivalry game against Weber State and it was a red out! best part? WE GOT FREE T-SHIRTS. I think it goes without saying that there were a lot of students there. They hear free and they flock. I can testify to that one. But anyway, the student body was all wearing red and had so much school spirit. I really enjoyed myself! Until we lost...We just won't talk about it. Then Friday came. Here at SUU, once a semester, they do this ever so delightful thing called Casino Night. Seriously EVERYBODY goes, it's that fantastic. You get all dolled up and looking spiffy and you go and they give you poker chips and then you proceed to play games like Poker and Black Jack. Basically they teach you how to gamble without losing any money. College is all about gaining experience for the future. Vegas is 2 hours away, and I am quite lucky at black jack. Too bad I'm not 21 right? :) It was so much fun! Kim and I got all hot and stuff and spent the evening playing black jack and dropping our chips from hand to hand attempting to look classy. It was such a great night, I went home with a big smile on my face :) And then on Saturday there was a dance. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. I think it goes without saying that the second the lights are down, a strobe light is involved and loud music, I go extremely white extremely fast. I am the epitome of a white girl dancing. Others get extreme entertainment from it so you're welcome society :) Kim and I had a super fun night dancing and being crazy. But we did leave with headaches, a little dehydrated and our ears were ringing. But it was worth it :) I LOVE COLLEGE.

               To sum up my first week of college I would say I have spent it laughing, looking for cute boys and having a great time. I am loving discovering who I am and what I want from my life. It's such a blessing I have to be able to get an education at such a good school. I miss my family more than anything, but I know I am where I am supposed to be, and I couldn't be happier :)
