College...it's hard...sometimes.

Hey everyone,

So I know that first off I owe a big apology for randomly disappearing all the time. I could give you excuses all day, but we all know that excuses mean nothing. I have been dealing with school, and though it is a reason not to be blogging, in my opinion it is not a good one.

But on the topic of the amount of time I have spent on school work if you could see my schedule you would probably think I am crazy, and you would probably think I was even crazier if you knew that I voluntarily added even more to my plate for next semester.

For those of you that are curious on everything that I do on a normal basis here at school I am going to give you a general synopsis....be prepared. I am warning you  now that it is a lot.

Classes:

Eng 108: Writing and literature (honors class...didn't know that when I signed up) MWF 10-10:50

Math 035: (math I shouldn't be in so we wont talk about that) MWF 1-1:50

Comm 101: MWF 3-3:50

Fcs 107: Contemporary and historic perspective (this isn't actually what this is. it lies.) W 12-12:50

Tam 214: Perspectives of dress T TH 9:30-10:45

Tam 111: Clothing 1 (basically beginner sewing) T TH 12:30-3:15

Now this may not seem like a lot considering it is only 16 credit hours, but with all the homework that comes with Eng 108, Comm 101, and Math 035 it's a little overwhelming. in the next three weeks this is everything that I have do for those classes, plus some things due for the other classes as well.

Eng 108: Annotated bibliography with abstract (3 pages)

Summary of films (I believe 2-3 pages each)

Rough draft for paper that hasn't been assigned yet

Comm 101: Watch Black Swan

Watch Noah

2-3 page movie review for both movies

Biography on Darren Aronofsky

Written group project

Power point with movie clips

Group presentation

Persuasive speech outline

Math 035:Unit 11 test

Unit 12 test

more quizzes

Unit 13 test

more quizzes

Unit 14 test

Tam 214: 12 page research paper (we have worked on that in sections for a month though)

Early morning brainstorm

Hey everyone,

So I got to my English class a half hour early this morning so I could sit down and write a blog post out for you guys. I know I have really sucked at blogging since.....well I have always sucked at blogging, but I am trying to get more on a schedule for it. What I need from you guys is support though. I love doing this, but feeling like you are talking to yourself and just not being able to interact with people isn't fun. I absolutely love to talk with people in the comments and just learn about anyone that reads the blog.

I am also slightly lost for what blog posts to do, because you guys don't really give me feed back and tell me what you want. I would like for  you to leave your ideas for blog posts in the comments of this post so that I can see what it is that you guys want to see.

Also, I am busy with school work, as are most people, so sometimes the post might be short just because I am writing like 3 papers right now. Don't think I don't still love to do this, it's just hard when I have as much stuff going on as I do right now.

Time to run, I need to do a few housekeeping things with a paper before I go to English.

Stressful days, as well as crazy nights

Hey everyone,

So I know I have not written in awhile, so sorry. Everything has been really stressful, plus I have had some other crazy things going on. I had to take a few days off from college for some health related things, and well I am going back to morrow. So I am trying to get caught up on a few house keeping items before I go back to college tonight. I should hopefully get back to writing on a regular basis soon.

College so far

Hey everyone-

Sorry I havent posted in awhile, I finally am starting to get into the groove of this college thing. So hopefully not I will have more time to write blog posts and maybe to even make videos again. (As a side note this post has been written for a week and I didnt know it never got posted. Oops.)

     To be completely honest college has been fun, but most of us are way to busty to have very much fun.I pretty much always have something going on or something that is due. I will make another blog post/ video explaining all of the changes with my planner sometime very soon. 

     I also have been spending time playing cards against humanity with my floor. As well as having movie nights in our lobby. Most everyone gets along most of the time. There are just the times that some of us get a little more annoyed with certain people than we do with others. I am more of the one getting annoyed with people because I am really easy to irritate especially when I am stressed, doing homework, or just dont want to be bothered.

     The roommate and I are getting along well, we just sometimes disagree on when other people should be over, and when its time for them to stop being in our room. Other than that we generally dont have too many problems and we actually get along really well.

     My classes themselves are generally pretty easy. In my English class we pretty much just watch movies and then write about our thoughts on them. My math class...well lets not talk about that. I still dont have any idea what my family consumer science class is about because I have only had it once, and it's got something to do with learning about my major, but again no real idea what it is. My communication class is really fun and the teacher is really laid back. My perspectives of dress class is the only one that is a little odd because we read about some pretty weird things about non-western cultures. Though I will say there are more cool things than there are weird things. My sewing class is probably the one I am most excited for. We recently have just been learning the basics of seams though so it can be pretty boring most days

     The boyfriend and I are doing okay. We broke up right before I came to school, but we recently got back together. He is leaving for vacation here in a few days so I know I am going to get to here some pretty exciting stories about that. Anyway, because we havent been back together for that long we dont know how we will do with this me not being around thing, but we will get it figured out one way or another.

     All in all college has so far been a pretty good experience. Though I am crazy busy most of the time I still try to find a little bit of time during the day to have some fun, even if its only a small amount.

OOTD- Sunday August 17 (roommate move in)

Hey there lovelies, today I am doing something new and doing an outfit of the day post for you guys. This is mostly because I just filmed a video and because my roommate is moving in today so as of right now I dont have much to be able to write about because it has been pretty boring for me the last few days.

This first picture is just kind of an over view of everything I have on today, even though its not exactly a full picture it works.

The jeans in this picture are a pair of the relaxed boot from Torrid. These are my new favorite jeans and I honestly love them.

This one again shows everything but it shoes more of my shirt which is just black and from Debs.

This scarf that I have on today actually came from a friend of mine.


And the earrings are owls that I bought from a little mom and pop store about 2 hours away from my house.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post. I will get to making more than just fashion posts soon. I promise.

College Move In

(taken from google images)

The day finally came and went. The day I moved into college. For the most part it was a stress-free day. Other than the drive to school following my mother who wouldnt stay one speed for me to be able to use cruise control. 

After finally making it to the school we sat in a line for about 15 minutes before we ever made it to the parking lot to unload my car. I dont know much about how the unloading process went because I had to go get my room key and sign a bunch of stuff. After finally getting back to my stuff my mom went and parked my car and a group of girls came in and helped me start getting my stuff. Since we have one elevator for even floors and one elevator for odd floors the line was really long and I stupidly thought walking up to the 5th floor by stairs wouldnt be that bad. To be completely honest that was a lie. It was terrible and I had to do it three times total yesterday, but only once while actually moving my stuff in. Finally we got all my stuff in the room and then we had to start moving the room around to give us some more room. The way they had the room set up made it about impossible to walk through it without jumping on the beds to get across.

After we got my bed made and my closet and bathroom put together we took off to pick up my books, which didnt take too long because we got there before the big group of people. 

Then my mom took off and left me to finish. It was nice to be by myself and just kind of do things the way I wanted to do. My roommate moves in tomorrow so its been pretty boring. I got out and walked around campus a few times today, but its overcast and honestly not very nice out. 

So back to my watching of E News.

Absences and craziness

Hey everyone,

So I know I have been gone for awhile and honestly the reason why is just because things have been crazy with work and in my life. However I have finally started to get things back to normal so I am hoping to get back to writing two blog posts a week. Also as an update let the countdown begin. College move in day is in 7 days
