hail no

this past weekend my parents were in town for a short visit, my friend came in for a surprise visit, my roommates and i finished decorating for christmas, and alabama defeated the number 1 team for my last game in bryant-denny as a student. wait what

the first of many lasts happened this past weekend and it hit me that i'm graduating (hopefully) in a year. so i decided that i'm just going to fail all my classes so i don't have to become a grown up and stay here forever. just kidding, i'm ready but not. i'll get there, i still have time.

so get ready for the picture overload...

to sum it up, we celebrated my mom's birthday, i froze my tail off, and i go to the best and classiest school in the nation.

roll tide

my first thought is "what's for dinner"

since every post needs a picture, enjoy this one of the beautiful campus i get the privilege of attending (thanks mom & dad!)

i came across this article the other day, 22 thoughts every girl has when walking to class.

i, personally, can relate to just about every thought that they wrote. my favorites being...

7. Okay, this class ends at 9:50 and it takes me 7 minutes to walk home, which would be 9:57, and my next class is at 11:30. But I have to leave for class at 11:19, which means I can nap for exactly 1 hour and 22 minutes.

17. Why do people walk so slow?

2. I'm hungry.

9. How do some girls look so cute at this hour?

21. I'm hungry.

i mean... honestly? it's like i wrote the article! just the other day i was walking to my 9:30, i got out of my 8am early and usually on those days i'll go wait in the longest line of the world to get a peppermint hotchocolate at the unofficially largest starbucks in the nation but i just wasn't feeling the wait that day. so i stopped in at the library snack bar, grabbed myself a nutrigrain bar and a gatorade. i couldn't wait till i got to my next class so i started eating and walking; easy enough, right? WRONG! i got strawberry jelly ALL. OVER. my hands, i casually decide to slip the rest of the bar in my frocket* to finish after i get to my building and i manage to get strawberry jelly all on the inside of my frocket while it was wrapped up in it's wrapper... (i should probably wash that shirt soon...) 

where was i going with this story? OH YEAH, as i'm casually walking with my hands in fists so that i don't get the jelly anywhere else on me, i think to my self, "how many people just witness that fiasco?" probably no one but i have witnessed some funny things walking to class. maybe that should be the odyssey's next article, funny things you see on the way to class.

shake it off

confession: i like taylor swift's new cd.

i can't help it! the more i listen to it the more i CAN. NOT. stop. i'm sure y'all have heard her famous shake it off by now. that one, sucks me in every time. the plus side is that i didn't have to pay for it (sorry taylor) my roommate bought both the itunes version and the bonus cd at target so she burned a copy for me, love ya park.

if you haven't already, just go ahead and watch this video of an 80's workout video that times perfectly with her shake it off. clearly i know what my new morning routine is going to consist of.

and if you want the normal music video, here ya go. taylor swift's: shake it off

pumpkin patchin'

i think that last photo of my dad and me is so funny, we are both looking in opposite directions but have the exact same look on our faces, at least i know where i get it from ;)

i finally made it to a pumpkin patch! i had been wanting to go so badly all october so over fall break my mom and dad took me to one in tennessee. it was the perfect fall day to go, they had a corn maze, pumpkin patch, homemade fudge, funnel cake fries, and much much more! well worth the wait, that's for sure!!

a house divided

so that whole blogtober thing lasted a whole... day... oops. i decided i didn't really like any of their prompts so i just didn't do it and then you know, that whole life thing happened and all of a sudden it was november. how did that happen?? this whole time change thing has got me like 

am i right? but moving on to more important things, let me catch you up on my life. first things first 4 weeks until i am done with classes for the semester. and only 7 saturdays till christmas. now that we have that out of the way...

a couple weeks ago my family met up in knoxville for the ut/bama game, obviously the pros won but the vols did play a good game. i even said at the end of the game how fast it went by because i actually paid attention since it was interesting (besides the first quarter).

sorry for the picture overload, i am too lazy right now to combine and down size but the most important thing is that we got our christmas card photo and i ordered them for mother this past weekend.

roll tide and see y'all here real soon!
