THIS JUST IN

I just remembered I have a blog.....TEST IN 45 MINUTES HELPPPPPPPPP

Country BOY Shake It For ME!

Hello Hello Gorgeous Ladies! and gents? ha. catching up over here from the last week!! Luke Bryan came to Statesboro (Claxton) on October 5th! and BOY did we throw down...let me just begin with this little beauty!!!!

I know. I Drool as i stare at it....i got a backstage pass to see ole lukey here and it MADE MY YEAR! the concert was a blast and we had the best time singing and dancing all night...too much fun! i cannot wait until he comes back! HE IS A SOUTHERN ALUM might i add....

things to come: football games, the fair (sooo excited), and my little sisters breast cancer research fundraiser

Its me here..just sucking at blogging..

alright betches back to where i left off.

So i was home living it up with the people i love the most..i even got to go up to Athens where Mollie (the BFF) lives and we played up there for 3 days, just being silly and shopping as usual..SHOPPING FOR RUSH might i add.

while i'm on the subject of Mollie i have NO IDEA where my life was before her..she hasn't been mentioned too much huh? she was my summer roomy, a completely random act of fate placed our asses together and it was EPIC. i swear the chick is my twin from another life. with a completely different face/body/personality/ect. thats beside the point. the point is i LOVE her. She'll be in the wedding for sure once i find my Prince. She's my person. you know, like if your day has gone straight to hell and you know anyone else would make a face, roll their eyes, and wouldn't get it. Mollie gets it, gets fired up about it with me, says curse words with me, we curl our hair, put on eye liner, and toast to it. she's my person. i need the bitch.

Back to it: I was completely lost on what exactly i wanted to rush so i just made my mind up to become whatever my heart was pulling towards at the end of the week. i bought 4 adorable dresses while i was in athens with Mollie (everyone knows looking like Barbie during rush is the key to Bids. DUH.)

I was home for another week after that and then the day came that i had waited and waited for. Moving in for GOOD. Mama, Daddy, and Sydney helped me load my car up (*and mama's* hey a girls gotta look good and so does her castle.) i said my goodbyes to my daddy and we were off to my new adventure..Statesboro was my new permanent address. fast forwarding through all of the sweaty unloading of clothes, decorations, hair products, and Lord knows shoes, and i was all unpacked. what a process that was. Mama and Sydney hugged me about 3 times apiece and then they left. I was all alone for the first time. No Mollie. nothing. and i didn't know how to feel about it.

For Sorority Rush here at GSU, you move in the week before everyone else and rush begins on sunday before school starts. that meant a week of me living all alone in my dorm and transforming into Barbie daily. every morning i'd wake up, eat a little breakfast, and begin putting on "the face". once i was ready, i'd go to a meeting we had every morning and then head to greek row in my heels praying for the strength to have a perfect and memorable conversation with whoever i was stuck talking to for an hour at each house that day. all of the sororities impressed the hell out of me. (well, almost all of them. some more than others obviously ;) ) it was so tough to decide on just one at the end of the week, but each night i'd go drop houses and narrow down my search for my new home...i was never dropped for a house which made me SO happy. that was my biggest fear every morning when we got our schedules. i was blessed for sure and when Friday finally came and we got our Bids, i got the best envelope id ever opened. i'm sure you've already noticed who i'd chosen and who chose me back....

ZETA TAU ALPHA!!!!! ONLY THE BEST GET CROWNED!!

I love these girls and would not trade ner a one for the WORLD! i know your wondering, Miss Mollie went Phi Mu. We forgave her. ha just kidding!!! But really. 

Sorority life has been SO much fun and has literally changed my life. for the better. ZTA makes me want to do better, be better, and love harder than i ever have before. they are truly amazing girls. never have i felt so welcomed. and who can say 168 girls are all welcoming and sweet? not many. lets be honest...

My art major has been SO much fun. the projects are hard don't get me wrong..but thinking about where my life is heading is SO exciting i cant wait to get into my studio classes for photography :)

have a mentioned the new Boyfrann??? Garrett is on the football team here at Georgia Southern and a Complete Sweetheart. sometimes. ok ok he tries but hey the life of a baller is hard. especially with my being surrounded by Fratdaddys all the time. that part he is not a fan of. Here he is nowwwww

Baby It's Hot Outside.

Is it just me, or do you feel like It just keeps getting hotter and hotter outside? At Georgia Southern I know it had just begun to cool off and even started feeling nice. That is no longer the case down south. According to researchers, this is no longer the case anywhere in parts of the United States. Much of the United States is trapped under a heat "dome" caused by a huge area of high pressure that's compressing hot, moist air beneath it, leading to miserable temperatures in the mid-90s to low 100s and heat-index levels well above 100 degrees. The oppressive conditions extend from the northern Plains states to Texas and from Nebraska to the Ohio Valley. And they're expanding eastward. (FYI my beautiful people, we are eastward.) Eli Jacks is a meteorologist for the National Weather Service who describes this heat "dome" for us: When a high pressure system develops in the upper atmosphere, the air below it sinks and compresses because there's more weight on top, causing temperatures in the lower atmosphere to heat up. Thanks a lot, high pressure system.  Most people are satisfied with the gnats in south Georgia, but you knew we really wanted some extra heat, too. Notice the sarcasm people. The dome of high pressure also pushes the jet stream and its drier, cooler air, farther north — it's now well into Canada — while hot, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico circulates clockwise around the dome, traveling farther inland than normal. Combined with generally clear skies and the sun's higher summertime angle, "it gets really hot," Jacks said. According to the National Weather Service, heat domes are not uncommon, however this one is particularly interesting because of its size and duration. Americans who have been effected by this heat are learning to cope. This college kid is not a fan of the heat. But hey, i'll take it over a snow blizzard every day of the week. Fun Fact: Georgia Southern has Air Conditioning!!!

Let Love Grow.

Hello, Hello! I do apologize for how long it has been since I last posted for you lovely people out there. Before I begin this post, let me go ahead and explain the reasoning for it ha. I am posting this little blog for one of my classes at Georgia Southern. Shout out to Miss Douberly! I wasn't sure what current event to write about, but this story stuck out to me. The idea to grow food that is not only good for you, but also so inexpensive is a great idea if you ask me! My grandmother has always grown vegetables in her garden. Her garden is beautiful! She has always been so proud of it, and uses what she grows when she cooks for our family.

A true Southern Belle, that woman is! I had never considered how much she had been saving until I saw this article, though? If more people used their spare time to raise their own produce how efficient would that be? I think the idea is wonderful, and was very impressed in the care the Hirshberg's expressed for others in their previous situation. People like the Hirshberg family will be the ones who truly make a difference in the world. Their contributions were small, but have already made huge impacts in the lives of others who needed the care of others to be expressed to them. I want to use this time to challenge any one who reads this article to do a little "pay it forward" work this week. Show someone else some love, whether you know them or not. Everyone needs a little helps sometimes. I know sometimes the thing I need the most is help, but my stubbornness gets in the way of my asking for help. I think that this article stressed some valid points and I really enjoyed hearing this story. I hope yawl did, too!
