I Need My Mother

Sometimes I get back to my dorm room at the end of the day, look in the mirror and wonder why my friends don't love me enough to let me know that I look like a blueberry.

All That Stuff

Everyone is stressed right now. Except for maybe me. Freshman year is almost over, and part of me is incredibly sad because I'll never get this moment back. But the other part of me is excited to be done with this stage in life, and to move on to the next chapter. I'm ready to not be a freshman anymore. It can be rather taxing at times.

So, here are a few things I've done to occupy my time in the last few weeks:

I've become a horticulturist. Truly. I have a little potted garden growing outside my nasty dorm room. This little beauty is a tomato plant that can't seem to stand up straight on his own. Good thing he has me to hold his leaves. Pretty positive my roommate thinks I'm crazy, but I would much rather be the eccentric plant lady rather than the crazed cat woman. Truth.

Went to an outdoor concert put on by a men's Christian organization on campus that completely rocked my socks off. Nothing is better than cowboy boots, live music and huddling with friends on a blanket, laughing until we cry. Praise the Lord for fellowship. Plus feeling extremely artsy while you do it.

My sorority put on our annual 5K race this past weekend to benefit Scotty's House and CASA, two organizations that assist abused children. It was such a blessing to raise $45,888 for an organization that helps children and depends entirely on our assistance. Not to mention the fact that my friends and I had the immense privilege of dressing up in order to remind ourselves why we woke up at 5:15am. We even reached an all-time low when we parked outside the donut shop at 5:50am and had them open 10 minutes early so we could get our donuts on before setting up for the race.

All in all, these last few months have been legit. My friends and I are slowly learning that we are now each other's family; we are helping raise each other and making huge life decisions together. And it's all sustained through prayer. 

HOLLA!
