Homecoming Weekend

This weekend was the Carolina - Florida Homecoming football game. It was a close game, we were very close to losing to Florida but thankfully we did not. 

My roommate's friend, Nick, came down for the weekend and it was an awesome weekend. Bridget come to our tailgate for a while. My parents come to this game as well. I was hoping that they would get to the tail gate earlier so that they would have time to hangout but unfortunately that did not work out. We went out to dinner that night and had a fun time. Next year there is going to be better planning for the game/tailgate/weekend then went into this game.

I can't wait for the Clemson game on the 27th. Unfortunately I have to cut my thanksgiving break short but I would not have another opportunity to go to the out rivalry game between these two schools. So it is a drive I am going to make. Thank goodness the kickoff time is set for 7:45 pm and I will have time to drive back to columbia from orlando. I will probably leave around 6am Saturday morning and get to columbia around 1 or at least that is the plan. 

Here is a photo from this past weekend :)

I love heels! I wish I had more opportunities to wear them but I don't. If I had a bunch of money I would have so many shoes. But I don't at the moment. One day I will have money and be able to indulge myself in shoes :) 

More later,

This is what I have been waiting for all year! Carolina Football!!!


Tailgating and Football are the best combination for a Saturday!

Another Night Alone

I don't know how much longer I can cope with being alone all the time...


I need to find an escape. I think I really am going to start to having running be that escape (and possibly yoga too)

Thinking.....

When I am alone my thoughts being to take to places I have already been. To memories that I never want to forget because they bring a smile to my face. These places are where I long to be again, where I know I have something to look back on and smile. Happiness is what I want. Sometimes that is the hardest to find, in the smallest things happiness can be found. To find the happiness that follows you from day to day is what I think everyone wants.

Music is something that takes me back to the happiness I have once had. Music is one of my escapes. Finding that song that can just explain the way you are feeling at that one moment. Taking that one moment in time and transporting you to a different place. Taking your emotions out of your body to allow you to express then. The lyrics aren't necessarily want talks to you but the beat of the song.


more thoughts to come later,

Just Another Friday Night

So its a Friday night, don't have any plans. I'll probably do some studying (i know its lame to do on a Friday night). I went to my last AEP class today, stupid. They just kept talking about how to prevent alcoholism. Since I don't abuse alcohol and don't plan on it, since i don't drink a lot. It was a big waste of my time. But since I have had to do this whole AEP program I don' really want to drink until I turn 21 so that I don't have to worry about getting into trouble again.


I have completed my first week of my junior year. This semester I am taking 19 credit hours. This is going to be a really tough semester, I just need to keep focused and organized on everything I need to do. Since this semester is the hardest I have taken so far, I put in my two weeks notice at work. It is kinda sad since I have made some friends there and I don't to be left out of their plans just because I won't be at work to find out what those plans are.

Well there is the first of many more shenanigans to come,
