random thought

        I would start out with saying the classic, 'this isn't random but...' but this truly is so random. Once again, it's crunch time with finals coming up and what am I doing? Procrastinating...shocking, right? Yeah, I didn't think so. Well, I'm sitting here attempting to write a paper that counts as my final that is due tomorrow at 12.30 and its obviously not going so well. It's for my least favorite class (my professor is a psycho but that's a story for another day) and I am seriously lacking motivation. That's not my random thought..just some background info to get you in my mindset.
        Although I really don't like this class, some of our assignments made me do a lot of self-reflection. This class makes us go deep into ourselves and just think. Ironic that I'm writing the final for this class and I'm just sitting here in deep thought about my life. 
        I am so thankful for my life. I am most thankful for my 3 F's: faith, family, and friends. I honestly don't know where I would be without them. I have nothing but love and support coming from all three. I know I complain (example: 'why do I always have to do everything!?') but I really don't have anything to complain about. My life has been pretty grand thus far and I can only imagine that it will get better from here. Granted there will be MANY bumps along the road, but I know that the Lord has a plan for me. This makes me think of my favorite Bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." Whenever I am going through one of those bumps, I am constantly reminded that Jesus Christ has my back and always will :)
        There is my random thought and now I am back to writing this silly paper. Hopefully I will get it done in a reasonable amount of time because I'm trying to actually get some sleep tonight!


love yall!

8 more days..

I cant believe how fast my freshman year of college has gone. I know I'm only 19, but it makes me feel so old! Finals week is next week but two of my professors decided to make the finals the week before finals week..aka this week. I have two finals tomorrow, a final paper due thursday, and one final on friday. Needless to say, I am a little stressed.
Since I'm writing this post, I'm clearly putting off studying. Which is probably bad since I have a final in 9ish hours. but I did go to a study session with my TA and I have been studying all afternoon! so I'm not a complete slacker..
This post was pretty much pointless and was probably a waste of your time. So, sorry about that! I just cant handle the fact that this year is almost over. that means I'm one year closer to graduating and being on my own..and I'm definitely not ready for that. So lets hope this whole growing up thing slows down.

love yall :)

homesick or friendsick?

              Today I am feeling very homesick. I know it's dumb to be homesick when I have less than 2 weeks until I go home for summer but I can't help it. Last weekend I was in New York and the weekend before that I went to Radford to visit Jenny (which, btw, was the best). Either way, I haven't been at JMU and to be honest, it was nice to get away. I'm going home this weekend for Easter. I don't think I have been this excited to go home in a while. School is great and everything, don't get me wrong, but this weekend I get to see all my best friends. I have missed them all so much. I feel like this is why I am so homesick today. I feel like I haven't seen my BEST friends in foreverrrr. They are such a huge part of my life and I feel lost without them. Everyone says that you meet your lifetime best friends in college, but I met mine in high school.
              Halfway through this post I changed my mind..I'm not homesick, I'm friendsick. I miss my friends more than anything (no offense family..). I seriously cannot wait to be reunited with Caroline, Jenny, Jojo, Sally, and Bekah! Thank the Lord I saw Jenny two weeks ago or I would be completely friend deprived. This entire school year up until now, Caroline and I haven't been more than 3 or 4 weeks without seeing each other. But it's been about 5 weeks since I have seen her...I haven't seen Jojo or Bekah since we went to Charlotte for Jojo's birthday in february and I haven't seen Sally since winter break. So needless to say, I am very friendsick. When I was super sick last week, Jojo diagnosed me with 'best friend deficiency.' If you are unfamiliar with this disease, the only cure is a little does of Jojo, Jenny, Caroline, Bekah, and Sally :)
               Random side note. I was texting Jenny this morning during class and we were talking about how excited we are to come home. She just texted me saying I should blog more...I was in the middle of this post. best friend ESP at its finest :)

love yall!

I feel like this picture represents our friendship perfectly

This was taken at our farewell dinner, real housewives style, a few nights before 5 of us left for college :(

Another typical best friend picture

This was from our reunion/christmas sweater dance party over winter break
