Friday-- My Last Day in York
I spent this with some of the best friends I could ever ask for. We went swimming and I seriously froze because I was chased into the pool with threats of being thrown in regardless if I got in or not. So I figured well if they're going to threat it, then why not do it myself? So I jumped in. Let's just say I have some creative friends. They set up benches on the side of my pool and decided to run and jump/dive over the volleyball net set up in my pool. Needless to say, I only got one picture of that.
That would be my best friend Alex diving over the net. I didn't think I was going to get a good action shot but I definitely think I did. After we went swimming we decided to go play guitar hero, now all of my guy friends are really good at it and play either hard or expert, while I on the other hand will gladly sit there and play medium just because I know I'm good at it. Well, they were doing face-offs and they had to the play the same level, so I just thought it was fun to watch them as they played against each other. Well, I started to fall asleep while they were there. (Yeah I know I sound like such great company.) Now mind you I don't get the best sleep during the night, nor can I fall asleep at good times, so naps are definitely a great thing for me. But I knew I still had some packing to do and the boys weren't staying that long. Speaking of that, I said one of my hardest goodbyes that day. Like I said Alex has been my best friend for three years and he means the world to me. Knowing that I'll be away from home and unable to be there and hang out with him made me break down and cry. I miss him.
Well let's just say I had a whole mix of emotions during this time period. I was stressed, well that's the under statement of the century. We had the car packed to the seams with all my stuff for college. Needless to say my anxiety was a little high that day if you couldnt guess that already. But the unpacking process took a lot less time then expected. And I LOVE the way my room looks. And my roommate is AMAZING!
That would be my bed. The bigger stuffed animal was a 16th birthday present from Alex and the little one is from my parents probably for like my 2nd birthday. So they both mean a lot to me.
That's my desk with a few things missing from the picture but they were added at a later time tat day.
That's the top of my dresser. I LOVE my tv if only it had more channels on it. I like to smell good so notice the different hand sanitizers and perfumes.
That's my roommate Jessica and myself outside our dorm.
Our vanity which trust me does not stay that neat for very long.
That's our shower (yes at this college we happen to have our own bathrooms.) That shower caddy is going to be the death of me, since the suction cup does not like to stay suctioned. Then once it comes unsuctioned the whole caddy likes to shift itself meaning bottles go flying, and Mary Kate gets hit in the eye with a shampoo bottle.
We have our little eating area (: Cake and cookies courtesy of Jess's mom and grandma.
Here's what we college students consider a kitchen.
The only thing you havent seen is Jess's room which, is the same as mine but decorated the way she wants it to be.
Now after we were all settled in and our books were bought and our goodbyes said. We decided showers were a must, overheated and sweaty I jumped in the shower for my first fight with the fiesty shower caddy. But this time only razors were the weapon that fell on the floor and not on me. After my shower I decided it would be best to get ready as quickly as possible before Jess did because well, we lack the room to get ready at the same time and you know, us girls, we need our mirror time. Although we found out that we can both do something in the mirror but it cannot be the same thing i.e: she straightens her hair as I do my make-up or brush my teeth. The only time we cannot share is the precious time for blow drying of the hair which I frankly need all the space I can get when I do that. But we try our best to get ready together. Jess and I both go to each other for fashion advice and we end up with two cute outifits, which we didnt take pictures of, I have the top of mine if that helps?
My shirt says Live, Love, Laugh. Which I got at Pac Sun, and I have a pair of skinny jeans on (my favorite.) Make up is subtle yet noticeable. Jewelery are my usual bracelets and silly bands and cannot forgot FOUR, yes, four hairties.
Now what we were going to do was the organized "Happening at the Hub" yes, thats what it was called. Happening? Must I tell how this went? This was sooo not "happening." It was boring and needless to say we stayed there for about 2 songs and as we said "peaced." We walked around campus and met, well were talked to by boys in frats telling us we NEEDED to go to their party to have a good time. No silly frat boy, I do not need to go to your rager, get handed some beverage with god knows what in it and then you try and get me to go up to your room, thanks but no thanks. (: The wonders of college life. Anyway, what we decided constituted as fun was ordering a pizza at midnight and eating and just talking to each other and getting to know each other better. Did I mention, my roommate is AMAZING? After that our sugar rush crashed and so did we.
Sunday: Now I am a girl who likes her beauty sleep but hates when she feels like she wasted her day, so I figured 11 constituted as a good time to arise. Well, my roommate was already up and ready, well that made me feel like a loser let me tell you lol. Anyway after we got ready we decided to go get lunch in the cafeteria. Where the food is mediocre at best. So after our good eating time we decided to go to teh grocery store which is about an 8 minute walk down hill. Which means a 12-14 minute walk uphill with grocery bags at hand. But it wasnt as bad as we thought. The walk down we passed off campus housing, with beer smells wafting from the doors I guess you could say they had a goodnight. Or the house that had beer cans in the front yard, broken glass and a tv laying as if it had been thrown off the balcony. Now you can't tell me that they were feeling so hot that day. Moving on, we got the goods and went to the dorm. Put them away in our proper places and then proceeded to the co-op store, where I spent about 38 dollars getting myself all decked out to be well how you say "school spirited." So, as the day moves on we hang out spend time together eat a mediocre dinner. And 10:15 rolls around, which means floor meeting. Now as my Jessica and I headed on our way to the floor meeting we saw something that wasnt written on our whiteboard before 248, could that possibly be a boys room number? And why would they leave it there? So we wrote them a note back and the door tag proceeded on. Ah, the adventures of college students who don't want to talk in person. Anyway, one time when I was taking the note to the room Jess and I realized we did not have our keys, we sat in the hall way for about 10 minutes waiting for the CA to come help us in. Needless to say, the adventures of Mary Kate and Jessica are just now beginning. Talked to Alex because I couldn't sleep, I guess you could say I missed him more than I orignially planned seeing as how just hearing his voice brought me to tears.
Which brings me to, today: The first day of classes BORING as some would say. But hey I think I looked cute doing it. Which brings me tooooo.... MORE PICTURES!
Taken off my laptop webcam so it's not perfect quality, but this is my first day of school outfit, I loved it. And I think, not to sound cocky, but, I rocked it (:
Little boost of energy anyone? College has now turned me to the dark side, I am now a coffee drinker. (Might I add there's about 2 POUNDS of sugar and flavored creamer in there. Right now I'm enjoying a french vanilla and caramel coffee, DELICIOUS. Thank you Maxwell House for making my hands shake from caffeine.)
And last but not least meet my baby, Lionel. He's now 2 years old. We share a birthday because I got him on my 16th. This is my cuddle buddy (plus a sweatshirt which Alex gave me both of.) I like having a little piece of Alex here with me since he can't be.
Well bloggers, I think you saw my life for the past few days. (:
