resolutions

Happy New Year =)

i don't usually make New Year's resolutions. i feel like i would never be able to stick to them.

what i'm going to do is make a couple points that i'm going to try to stick to for the year.

key word here is TRY. that's all i can promise.

1. i will try to read new books and keep track of all the books i read this year.

2. i will try to be healthier.

3. i will get a job this summer that gives me more hours than what i got last summer (this is more of an i WILL than a try)

4. i will try to spend more time out of my dorm room

5. i will try to stay happy

that's what i can promise for 2010. i will try to be the best person i can be. who knows what the next year will bring but of course all you can do is take it one day at a time

=)

the decade and a happy new year(s eve)

i have a terrible memory.

that's just how it is.

i can't remember what was going on in my life when i was 10 in 2000.

it's only in the more recent years (2007-now) that i have more vivid memories.

that's probably because that's when i actually started doing things and hanging out with friends who actually had fun.

the memories i've made with them have been worth remembering.

some of the things i do remember:

2000- I turned 10 and thought it was so cool being an age in the double digits

-went to Disney World for the first time!

2001- we moved to my "new" house (aka my current house)

2002- can't remember much

2003- was officially a teenager (seemed cool at the time)

2004- i think this was the year i went to chicago on my first band trip, but i wasn't twirling baton in the band yet, i was in national line and held a flag...

2005- went to Disney World for the second time

2006- turned 16 and got my permit

Happy 2010!!

i'm in!

I'M IN!!

I have officially moved into the new college. It honestly feels like a few weeks ago I was writing my first post on here. It was the end of last semester, like 3 and a half months ago. Oh my how time flies when you're having fun!

Let's talk about how great this college is...

No better, let's talk about how great this college is compared to the last college!

1) The dorm room- Umm they don't compare.

I'm not sweating my butt off just sitting at my desk.

My feet aren't touching some sicknast carpet that who knows when the last time it was cleaned, let alone vacuumed.

The furniture is BRAND NEW. Legit, I'm the first person to use it new.

I'm on the first freaking floor! Not the more-of-a-fourth-floor third floor.

2) My friends are here.

A ten minute walk away, not a big deal at all.

Plus they have a pretty sweet suite, we've been chilling in there a lot.

3) The classrooms

Okay, so classes don't start until Wednesday, but I can guarantee they don't look like a cement prison cell.

4) The campus looks beautiful (not to mention looks like a college campus)

Green grass and flowers = beautiful

Sort of greenish grass and weird plants = not beautiful

5) I'm happy

Which is pretty nice =)

back to school

It is that time of year again. I'm packing my life away to move back into a dorm with someone new. I have my notebooks and pens, folders and backpack. Slowly it's all coming together again.

I'm hoping being a sophomore will be ten times better than being a freshmen. Although I'm going to a new school with a different campus and I'm going to be near my close friends, I'm still a little nervous. But, I've learned a lot over the past year. I know what I personally can accomplish and how to deal with different situations.

I'm ready.

I'm still pumped =)

Bridgewater here I come!!
