Twister Mixer

I'm all moved in!
everyone else has to take placement exams today... but not me :)
Our doors are 50s pin-up girls with lots of glitter #awesome


Anyways lets cut to the chase. Veasey & Martin had a mixer last night where we played Twister on a GIANT game board.  Apparently me and this one guy got extremely tangled up and it was hilarious --> such a good ice-breaker (although I never really caught his name) oops.

On The Trail We Blaze

This is my first mobile post! 
My first college adventure started last Friday as my mom and I left on our road trip to Hendrix. 
Since then we've passed through 6 states! North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. The only state I hadn't been to yet was Mississippi so this photo was a given:

Ready, Set, Gone

This makes it all look so small, but minus a small suitcase and a set of bins this is what I'm bringing to school! although don't give me too much credit- I plan on raiding Walmart when we get to Conway, and we sent all of my bedding there ahead of time.


Last full day in the 919 before road-tripping down to Arkansas! See you at thanksgiving Durham!

eighteen

August 9th, 1995
Exactly 18 years ago from this day I was born.
Finally I get to be part of the club (hint hint nudge nudge).
I'm a youngin' for my grade- at least for a few years we'll be on a level playing field.

Dangerous Activities:

  • Get a tattoo 
  • Attempt to buy a lottery ticket at a sketchy gas station
  • "Defy Gravity" at a trampoline center's rave. 

    I think I did my 18th birthday right :) 
    Watch out HDX cuz this girl is adventurous!

Packing!


  • Step One:

Find shit you want to bring

  • Step Two:

Make a mess while sorting it

  • Step Three:

Shove it in a suitcase/bag/box/bin

  • Step Four:

Process Complete!

HAHA! fooled y'all.  I've spent days scouring my room for any and everything I think I'll need in college.. nevermind the countless trips to bed bath and beyond for a few useful items but mostly just decorative and useless crap.
NOW that I've done that step like 20 times my room looks like this:
you know the BEST part? This is only half of my stuff. I think I'm going to need to cut back a bit.  Luckily I got these super life-saving vacuum seal bag things.  Words cannot describe how hard it is to determine what I'll need for this upcoming year when I'll be living in a completely different state, in a box approximately 12x12ft. YIPPIE 
THE THING IS that I don't care because I'm going to college, the best college, Hendrix College, where school is fun and pecan shells line the courtyard. 

Wish me luck?
