Don't Be Tardy for the Party!

If any of yall have seen Real Housewives you'll know what I'm talking about. Basically, it's the most annoying but wonderfully bad song ever.

Tonight, I ate at the sorority house for dinner. It was breakfast for dinner and it was so freakin' good. Like seriously delicious. If you aren't really thinking about a sorority next year, the food should make you think twice. (for my younger friends) Let me just put it this way: there is a frozen yogurt machine in the dining room. Now, that's legit.

Tomorrow is Friday! yay! This weekend is Halloween. I like dressing up, but I think a lot of people are going to get really drunk here. I don't really like that. But, my roommate is going home for Halloween so, I'll get the room to myself, which is kinda peaceful and nice sometimes. But I would never want to be without a roommate all the time, cause I don't like those little unexplainable noises at night.

So the soap in the bathroom ran out a couple of weeks ago, and they refuse to re-fill it. Now that is a scary part about Halloween! Thank God for a personal supply of hand sanitizer and soap.

Also, I have been thinking about getting my cartilage pierced. My parents would be so mad, but if that's the extent of my rebellion, they should consider themselves lucky.


I hope everyone has a kick-ass Friday!!

You Know You Love Me, XOXO Crafty

The football game was soooo much fun!!!!! First of all it was perfect weather cool, but sunny. Also, we won, which is really nice to see cause Taylor almost never won. I just had a really great time. The Grove is absolutely a unique tradition that is so much fun and I feel like I was missing out have made it 18 years without seeing it. I hope other schools have stuff like this, because it really adds to the college experience. The town of Oxford is cute but it is missing a lot of stuff i had back in Katy. Like Target, my kitty, HEB, and my queen-sized bed.

I'm typing this while wearing my new Snuggie. My arms are nice and warm, just like the commercial. It's pretty much the coolest thing ever. I don't care what anyone else says because they don't know how freezing my dorm room is. So there world.

Also, fight now I'm watching Legally Blonde which is one of my favorites. It is actually really funny if you pay attention to the little jokes. Seriously, I have seen this movie so many times, I can quote it word for word. Maybe I'm lame for liking this movie but it's just cute and kinda funny and not too deep.

Ok, so one of the major news stories in Memphis is about this woman who left her two and three year old sons home alone and when there house caught on fire one died immediately and the other one died today, a week later. This story is soo sad and makes me so angry. That woman was so irresponsible and she deserves what ever punishment she gets for this. Now, I'll get of the soap box.

Also my roommate has been on the phone for like three hours straight tonight. It's kinda annoying, cause its hard to sleep when she gets calls at two o'clock in the morning and then talks for like an hour and she never goes out in the hallway or to the floor's lounge. But she keeps her side of the room clean and so I'll probably never say anything to her.

Finally, I changed my nail polish color today. My nails are dark purple, almost black. I was at Walmart (again, no Target) and I really liked this color. Plus since it's almost black, I kinda feel like a rock and roll bad ass. A little.

OK. I'm sleepy now and I have a 8am Stats class tomorrow.

Oh. And the title is a tribute to Gossip Girl. The story line was pretty bad tonight, but I loved the costumes.

Bloggie McBloggerson

My dad is coming to visit tomorrow, so that means I need to do all those chores college kids put off until the day before the get a visit from their parents. So tomorrow/tonight I will be taking out the trash, doing laundry, and cleaning up my room. He also gets the honor of paying my sorority bill tomorrow, so maybe I can distract him a little with my impressive and clean room.

Also, I have to say I was pretty disappointed in The Office tonight. I just couldn't get into it. And it wasn't as good as the wedding episode.

Game is Saturday! But i probably won't blog again till Sunday though.

Wow. Today, I didn't want to get up from my desk so I turned on the web cam on my computer and checked my hair in the web cam. I guess that's a whole new level of laziness.

Also, they put up the new addition of the Hotty Toddy Potty Times. They put up these signs on the back of the doors to the toilet and it's like a little newspaper in the toilet. Hence, the name. It's actually pretty sad. They have "party smart" tips and "fun" things to do in Oxford. But what I found funny was the statistic that said that 65% of students have never done anything the regret while drinking. Considering that 35% is more than the percentage of students that are actually legal to drink, that's a pretty sad statistic. And that that was the percentage that was willing to share with Ole Miss that they got so wasted, they did something they did something they regretted. Ok. I'm getting off my soapbox now.

Ok. I'm sleepy now. Sorry If my day boring.

Oh, Katelyn was right. Thanks yerds for reading my ramblings!

STRESSED out

So I had an incredible amount of homework yesterday! and today almost none. I was felt really stressed trying to finish all of it before my classes. Have y'all ever woken up with that "today is gonna suck feeling"? I did. So I wore my favorite outfit today. In case y'all are wondering it's ratted out skinny jeans old converse t-shirt and flow-y/long sweater. It's my outfit that makes me feel cooler/less lame.

Also, I recently discovered that I am obsessed with wayyyy to many TV shows. Like, I feel panicked when I miss one for homework or sorority stuff. Well not really panicked, but disappointed. It is like an absurd amount of TV shows for one person. Monk, Psych, SYTYCD, Glee, America's Next Top Model, Gossip Girl, The Office, House, NCIS and then there's the embarrassing ones like 10 Things I Hate About You (cause the guy that plays Patrick is soo hott), Jon and Kate Plus 8 (I used to be Team Jon, now I'm team Kate), and 18 Kids and Counting (can you believe one person could ever birth all those kids?).

Also, you know how in the movies the black sororities have like choreographed dances to different songs? Like in Drumline? Well our sorority had a charity dinner with a black sorority and they made up a dance for us using our hand signs and taught it to us. I felt like such a gangsta/bad ass. It was awesome. Then we all danced it together. Of course I probably looked like a fool doing it, but I felt cool. And that's all that matters

Also, I have been listening to Pride and Prejudice on audiotape before I go to sleep and I feel smarter. It's really good and so much better than the movie, which I love anyways.

Ok. I'm too tired to type anymore.

Oh and shout out to Chelsea and Lauren! 2 followers!

You Will Spend 1/7 of Your Life With the Monday Blues

I had the Monday Blues today. The kind where you don't want to wake up at 7am and then come back to your dorm to sleep for three hours after class. I should be studying for my biology test tomorrow but House is on so I'll do that after this. I'll probably try to keep writing a little bit every or every other day, depending on how much homework I have. Oh CRAP some guy just woke up in the mortuary. It scared me!

Only one little funny story today: I made a special trip to Walgreens to buy a Snuggie and they were out! My disappointment was great and I'm pretty sure I was visibly upset. I told my mom about this and she said she would send one with my dad when he comes to visit on Friday. I am really excited.

To make up for my lack of stories Here's the Top 10 Things About College So Far list:

10) Shopping for all the new crap for your dorm. New bedding and going to Container Store is so fun! Really. fun.

9) New people. I had a lot of really great friends in high school but the people here don't remember that time I broke my leg last year in Sea World in San Diego on the band trip.

8) Classes. Maybe this doesn't seem like the best about college, but the classes here are sooo much easier than high school classes. Sure you have to work, but no one cares if you don't participate, show up or do homework. If you want to just sit there and let class happen around you, no one cares. Also, the work is easier my biology class is like 8th grade stuff.

7) Football games/ sporting events. It's nice to actually see your team win or have a chance at winning all while being the most sober one there. If you can stand up and walk you will always be the most sober one, which makes for a lot of entertainment.

6) Naps. Classes are more spread out so I can nap during the day.

5) Dress Code. Or lack there of. Roll out of bed pick random Nike shorts and a random t-shirt and running shoes. That's pretty much it. Also now that's it's cold there is some entertainment added to this outfit when you add leggings underneath the shorts, switch out the running shoes for Uggs and top the whole thing off with a North Face.

4) Boys. The boys are cute here. That is all.

3) Parties. I don't think I should elaborate here.

2) There's always somewhere to go and something to do. ie: parties, activities, and concerts.

1) No Supervision. I love my mom but it was so hard to do anything at home without having her ask me about a million questions. "What are your grades?, When are you going to be done?, Why are you watching TV?" I feel like I can just sit down and get stuff done here. Also, at home, I practically had to pull teeth to stay out past 12.

Comment if you want. It would help me know how many people read this because right now, I think 5 people read my blog.

First Post?

OK. So I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while and now that I made one I'm not really sure what to write. I don't really know who would want to read anything I would write and I should be doing my homework now but I feel like this would be a good way to vent and let people know what's going on in my life. I'm not a very good speller or writer but hopefully this will change things. After starting at Ole Miss in August I feel really far from all of my friends at home and since I can't talk to them, maybe a blog could serve as a stand in. Also a lot funny things happen to me and I feel like I should share them some how. Here are some recent funny things:

1) It's October and I still don't know what I'm doing when it comes to laundry. The laundry room in my dorm is in the basement and I am still completely fascinated by the whole basement concept. All these pipes hanging from the ceiling are completely interesting. I had never even been in a basement until I went into this one. Whenever I put stuff into the washing machine I STILL just throw everything in and hope for the best. And then stare at the pipes and think about how creepy basements are. It also doesn't help that I wait until I have no clean pants left.

2) I still have a hard time spelling sorority right.

3) So at this party I went to for my sorority, there were a LOT of drunk guys. This one guy was so trashed and he was dancing with a beer in his hand and he dropped his beer mid-dance and didn't even notice. He just kept dancing! And he was dancing crazy! The beer was laying in the middle of the dance floor. I should have picked it up, but to be honest, I was too distracted by his dancing and didn't want to get whatever disease he probably had. Some other frat guy put the bottle upright and then finally one of my "sisters" threw it away.

4) Also me and my roommate are soooooo different. It's really funny because we have NOTHING in common. There is pretty much nothing for us to talk about, so imagine having an infinite amount of awkward conversation almost always started by me.

5) My first class of my first day of school was intro to hospitality. So the teacher asks all the seniors to raise their hands. No seniors. All the junior raise their hands. A few juniors. All the sophomores? Tons of sophomores. Freshmen? One. It's me. How awkward and it would only happen to me. I raised my hand cause it's an intro class and there should be other freshmen, but no. So everyone stares at me awkwardly. YAY.

So maybe they weren't very funny, if you know me I'm full of little kind of funny stories. And I plan on sharing them here. Comment if you want, only, I don't want to hear about my spelling mistakes.

Peace Out,

Lauren
