i made it out

hello friends!

i am finished with fall 2014 school semester. i had five exams - two "online", and a social psychology paper, along with countless presentations due (after thanksgiving break) that stood between me and christmas break. but i made it. i am currently sitting on my brother's couch in atlanta waiting for mother to come pick me up so we can head to florida for a few relaxing days at the beach.

i can't wait to watch abc families countdown to christmas, the rest of ellen's 12 days of give aways, and to sleep all the while cuddling with the muffin. i'll see y'all here next week - hope you guys have a relaxing weekend!

to end this post, a picture of how i felt these past few days...

a little busy

happy monday!

i'm just popping in today to let y'all know that these past couple weeks and these next two weeks have been and will be a little busy for me, but after exams next week i will be back to blogging more regularly.

i hope everyone had a great thanksgiving, i know that i have a lot to be thankful for!

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.
