Senior Year!!

Here we go, this is it! Senior year. It seems like just yesterday that I was switching to West Florence and walking into my first class, that first day of freshman year. And now here I am. With one class at West. Which means 10:10 dismissal, every day. After my hard hard year last year, I am SO excited to get out early. And I am so thankful about being where I am. When I switched schools way back in the day, I was so nervous. Terrified I wouldn't make friends. Terrified I wouldn't do well. Terrified about being noticed basically. And now four years later, I have an incredible amount of people I call friends, I am number 11 in my class of 400+, and I absolutely love West Florence. Even though it was a hard change, and definitely for sure an eye-opening one, I am so happy with where I am. And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It is for sure one of the best decisions I have ever made. Going back to senior year though, I am excited about this new freedom. New things to experience. And I am (believe or not..) excited about touring colleges and filling out applications, and going through all that seniors go through. It's gonna be fun and I can't wait.
So last night, the night before it all starts, four of my close friends and I went out to dinner. I love them dearly and it was such a fun time. Filled with laughter. Those are some great girls. And then I went home…. and tried to iron my shirt… and by accident burned my shirt…
So that didn't exactly start things off with a bang. But it's okay! I found a different shirt, wore that, and no one knew the difference. Outfits do matter. Even when you have one class. With that being said.. I will more than likely wear norts and a tshirt at least Friday. Probably Thursday too. I'm a senior and I do what I want… Right? 
Anyways, here are five of my absolute favorite ladies. They are some of my very best friends and I am really glad that we got a decent first-day pic.

Hailey, Amanda, Abbey, Mattie, Anna, and myself

And for everyone's enjoyment, here's a pic from Freshman year. Right before Homecoming I think. Featured is one of my still very good friends, Sarah, who has been with me all the way from 1st grade, even with the school change.

And because you all need something to compare to, here's a great pic of me and Austin from this morning. In case you don't know, he has trouble smiling. So enjoy this really fake smile. 


So senior year, I am coming for you, and I am determined to make as many great memories as possible. With all that being said, let's go!

Fairness and Survivors: Breast Cancer Awareness 2015

Image
As per usual, I'm procrastinating tonight. I have a paper due on the European spice trade. But the European spice trade isn't what's on my heart tonight. It's October. The time for pumpkins, scarves, and falling leaves. It's one of my favorite months of the year. It's also Breast Cancer Awareness month. These past few weeks, I have seen so many "survivor video" links on my Facebook. They're awesome. Those ladies (and men), every single one of them is incredible, and I praise God that they were healed. But I didn't want to watch the videos. I didn't want to hear how the doctors saw the cancer cells and were able to get them out through surgery at the nick of time. I didn't want to hear how the chemo worked for them or how the radiation was able to kill the cells. I didn't want to. Because more than anything in this world, I want to be able to click on a link on my Facebook page and see the survivor story for my mom. ...

My Friend, You Did Not Create the World.

My friend, It's been a long while since I've written. Let me just say that junior year of college hits like a freight train going at full speed with no warning horns.  Rumor on the street is that people are already asking you what lies beyond graduation. Crazy right ? We have a whole year and some before that.  But we're constantly wondering what lies before us, aren't we? Asking ourselves a million times a day how the decisions we make now will affect us later on. Where will I be in two years, five years, ten years? What city, what state? What will my career be, where will I live? What relationships will I have? Will I be financially stable? Will I be happy? Will I have friends? Will I be married?  It's mind boggling how much time we spend worried, concerned, anxious about the next steps.  My friend, we get into the terrible habit of getting caught up in our worries and our anxieties and instead of going before the Lord and ask...

Reality Check times 2

Image
Why is it that I get the most motivated to type a post when I have homework to do? I've always been a procrastinator but for some reason I just really want to type when I know I need to be doing pre-cal or tech work. Oh well. I just wanted to share some things that have been on my mind lately.  Two things that caused me to have a major reality check today. I mean major. Earlier today I was sitting outside of starbucks doing my tech work for my English 101 class. If you're unfamiliar with Dual Credit, basically I take college classes while still in high school, through FDTC and get college credit and high school credit. It's super helpful, and right now I'm taking English. So like I said, I am sitting outside of starbucks drinking my four dollar coffee, typing on my Mac, playing with my iPhone (more procrastinating), and wearing the, what I feel like at least, is the typical white girl outfit of a tshirt and leggings. I'm not complaining, I wear this outfit ALL T...
