April Madness

We're coming to the end of March and while I'm happy school is almost over, I am dreading the month of April. April may be the death of me because I will be extremely busy. It is always the busiest time of the year for school work because most teachers have days in April as final due dates. A run-down of my crazy month of April follows. Since I am an Education major, all of my field hours will need to be done in this month. I am already stressing out and March isn't even over. I am also the cheerleading captain for next year and we will be holding try-outs for three days in April. Many induction ceremonies will take place that I will have to attend and I am an Orientation leader for the incoming freshmen so I will have workshops for those as well. For my sorority, I was elected for the social chair position, in which I plan the parties and let me tell you, there are a lot in April. My nieces birthday is also in April, in which I will have to find time to go home for.
On the other hand, I do not want April to end because many of my close friends and boyfriend will be graduating. I have some things to look forward to though. For example, I will be going on vacation for the first time since I was 5 years old and I cannot wait. Although I will be taking classes during May, many of my friends will be here also taking classes (which may make it less painful). I am excited to be an orientation leader and that will take place in June. I cannot believe how fast time goes. I will be a senior next year and honestly, I don't think I'm ready to leave at times. But I guess I really can't stay here forever and have to grow up sometime....

Oh and my bracket for March Madness has gone down the drain..oh well there's always next year :)

Random Thoughts

I am currently in the last few weeks of March and the weeks are just getting busier and busier. I cannot wait until summertime so some of this stress is gone. Spring break has come and gone but I wish I was still at home still. One movie I watched over break was that Julie Julia movie, where the woman follows through the older woman's cookbook and keeps a blog about it. It reminded me of the blog I am keeping, even though I am doing mine for a college class. I thought the movie was cute and didn't realize it was possible to get that much fame for a blog (something I know I will never get from this :)). I have never kept a diary, so this is something new for me.

I titled this post Random Thoughts, because truly, that's what it is and will be. I am loving this weather we have here in Ohio and do not want to even think about snow.. which has been projected. I'm the type of girl who would love to wear shorts and flip flops all year long and love when it starts to warm up. The smell of people grilling and the sound of people outside, listening to music, playing cornhole and other games just makes life more fun I think. The nice weather makes me want to spend all my time outside, which is not too great when I'm trying to do some homework. March Madness is currently going on and I love watching basketball. My boyfriend,Jeremy, made me fill out a bracket for the first time and I'm not doing to bad on it. Maybe by my next post, I can see how things might work out and let anyone out there reading this know. I would like to hear who everyone has to win the National Championship game. In true Ohio spirit, GO BUCKS !

Spring Break has Arrived!

Well everyone, spring break has finally arrived. While it is still winter, since we have our break at the beginning of March, the weather has not been too terrible. The past few days it has been in the 50s. I'm over winter and ready for summertime though. I'm currently on day 2 of spring break and it's just as boring as expected. It is supposed to be a "break" but I'm too busy stressing out about homework and trying to get as much done as I can. Too bad I'm already behind in my own schedule. I don't see how some of these people who actually take trips can get all of their schoolwork done. As much as I would have liked to have been on a beach, I know I have way to much to do.
It is my birthday tomorrow and I will most likely be doing homework. My family plans to celebrate my birthday along with my two older sisters' birthdays this weekend since we were all born on the same day. My boyfriend is planning on coming up this weekend to spend time with me. I am excited to see everyone but in the back of my mind, I can't help but think of all the work I could get done in those two days that everyone will be here. The next two months of school will be the busiest yet. I will have field hours to finish for my education classes along with finals and other big projects. So close yet so far to summertime. On the bright side, I found out I will be cheerleading captain next year at my University and I was chosen as one of the Orientation leaders to welcome freshmen and show them around campus, which is something that I always wanted to do. Pledging is also over with, so hopefully I will get back some of the time that I spent doing that.

Spring Break countdown

I always look forward to the breaks we have from school. I tend to not go home that much throught the year because I am really busy. Seeing my family and playing with my nieces and nephews is always a good time. I only live 45 minutes from the school so it really isn't to bad. My mom and sisters will come to my games so I usually get to see them on the weekends. Now that basketball season is over, I won't get to see them as much so that's why I have a countdown till Spring Break.
Unfortunately, I do not get to travel to a beach or any other warm place for my spring break, like usual. Instead, I get to spend that week doing homework and trying to work ahead. I love the beach and would love to go with my friends but I do not have the money and would not want my mom to pay for it. It gets annoying when I hear people talk about their trips they are taking and how mommy and daddy are paying for it. I'm just not that lucky and would not want to ask my mom for that much money while she is stuck at home. Like I said before, I always have homework to do that usually takes all week to finish. This sucks and it is depressing to think about. The only perk is that we do not have classes and I get to see my family. I don't want a pity party for how crappy my spring break will be, I just get annoyed because Spring Break isn't always a great time for ALL students.

Countdown to Spring Break: 10 school days and it can't come soon enough!

Busy, Busy, Busy

This past week and the weeks ahead are extremely busy for me. Between pledging,

cheerleading and my school work, it seems like it's never ending. I am almost done with cheerleading

for the year which is sad yet exciting at the same time. It will definitely open up my Saturdays and

Wednesdays. My mom, sister and two nieces came to my last game, full of support for the team and

myself. They are going to be future cheerleaders, I can see it now. My mom likes to spoil me (I'm the

favorite..it's already been established :)) and she brought me a bunch of food that now consumes my

closet and fridge. I'm really thankful. She always goes above and beyond providing me with the

things I may need.

My boyfriend and I celebrated our one year anniversary which is the longest relationship both

of us have ever had. He took me out to dinner and to see the movie, Valentine's Day, which was really

good (yes, he even enjoyed it). We had to celebrate on Friday though because we had a Hawaiian

themed date party for my sorority which was a blast. Between meetings and his participation with

EMT training, we try to spend as much time together as possible. This will be his last year at my

college, which I'm not looking forward to at all. He lives three hours away, so next year will definitely

test our relationship. I'm just extremely thankful to have an amazing boyfriend and family who do

so much for me and support me in everything I do. This was something I definitely noticed this weekend.

I used to always hate Valentine's Day but now it's become one of my favorite holidays because of Jeremy,

my boyfriend. It's almost three in the morning and I need to go to bed. I am such a night owl but I am not

a morning person at all. It is for sure bedtime! Enjoy!

First Blog

I know many people write about themselves in their blogs and I guess I'm not going to be any different. There isn't anything extremely special that happened to me or is happening in my life at this time. I am currently a junior in college and I am going through the pledging process to join a sorority. I cheer at my university with a great group of girls, which is really fun. I'm not your "typical" cheerleader. In high school, I cheered for football, ran cross country and track in the fall and spring, respectively, and played basketball in the winter. I loved doing all of these activities and I still do them. At this time, I am extremely but I wouldn't have it any other way.
My 21st birthday is coming up, which is normally a pretty exciting birthday for many people. I'm kind of different though because I am not a big drinker. I share my birthday with two of my four sisters. No, it wasn't planned but we are all five years apart from each other. My grandpa also has the same birthday as the three of us. My boyfriend and I are about to celebrate our one year anniversary on Valentine's Day. I used to hate this day but now I love it. I love college but I tend to miss my family a lot. It's nice though because they are only 45 minutes away. This is my first post so it kind of has a bunch of random information in a mixed up order, so bare with me. Hopefully they will get better. Enjoy! :)
