Whirlwind.
If there was one word
to describe this week, it would be whirlwind.
I have had tours upon
tours, a French test, econ readings, homecoming events, graphic design
projects, meetings, study abroad research, and videos to make. This past week
has been super crazy but fun and exciting all at the same time!
Let’s start with two
Fridays ago (the 17th). After class on Friday (I get out at
11:30!!!), my friend Kayla and I went straight to the movies to see The Best Of
Me, the new Nicholas Sparks movie! I am usually a sucker for a good Rom Com but
this was definitely not my favorite Nicholas Sparks (but let’s be honest could
anything beat The Notebook?!). It was
still a nice break from homework and a fun way to kick off the weekend! We ran
back to campus so we could get ready to drive to Charlotte with 5 friends to go
to Scarowinds! Scarowinds is at an amusement park (like Six Flags or Bush
Gardens), but during the Halloween season they open it at night and it’s turned
into a haunted amusement park! All the big roller coasters were still running, which are my absolute favorite and honestly it was no where near as scary as I
thought it might be. I cannot even watch a scary movie and I was completely fine. We had an
absolute blast riding all the rides until midnight but we didn't get back
to Campus until almost 2!
Saturday was rough
because I was getting up super early (I had to be ready to go at 7am!!) because
we were going on a hike to celebrate a friend in my pledge class’s 20th
birthday! So I didn’t get much sleep…..We had an absolute blast though, and the
fall colors were gorgeous. Definitely something we are going to make a yearly tradition.
Sunday was homework
day. We had a four hour sorority meeting planned from 2-6 and then chapter at
7:30. I woke up early (again!) to try to finish homework and unfortunately my
computer decided to crash/ freeze right in the middle of a project. Of course
it didn't recover and I called my mom sobbing and frustrated. I ended up redoing it all and
somehow I lived to talk about it. Let’s say I was happy when Sunday ended.
This past week was
homecoming week! I was nonstop busy with activities which made the week 10X
more fun. We built floats, presented skits, and Friday we had a huge pep rally/
carnival/ swing dancing event! It was a blast but none the less, exhausting.Saturday was our
homecoming game and we tailgated all morning and then headed to the game in the
afternoon!
Yesterday was another birthday celebration for a sorority sister and this time we celebrated by going to Asheville for lunch and we walked around downtown. It was nice to get off campus for a few hours and spend time outside (and not doing homework!).
Now that I feel like
I have finally caught you all up on what I have been doing the past two weeks,
here’s a few things that you should know!
Be in the know:
Elections are coming up and TheSkimm has made a super great midterm election guide that you need to check out!
