Czeching InMay 27th, 2011
I am finally back! I have been so busy finishing my first year of college, taking finals, and, oh ya, getting ready to move to Prague for the next 6 weeks that blogging completely slipped my mind. … Alternative Spring BreakMarch 15th, 2011
Finally, Spring Break! No more tests or studying for a week. I couldn’t wait to have the week off but I wasn’t doing the typical beach or ski vacation. Instead I decided to do an alternative spring break: a UT program where students go to another city and volunteer or do a service project. I chose to go to New … Second Semester BluesFebruary 5th, 2011
Now that I have returned to the University of Texas and begun my new routine and classes I have realized….last semester I had it so easy. No classes until 11, minimal reading assignments everyday, and weeknights free to “study” (aka go to mixers or catch up on my tv shows.) Well was I in for a big surprise when I … One Down, Seven to GoDecember 16th, 2010
After weeks of preparing for and taking finals and writing essays, and weeks of all nighters spent in the library I was starting to wonder if I would ever see the light of day again. Well I survived all these tests of my knowledge from the last four months and once I stepped outside after my last final I was … Dress UpNovember 2nd, 2010
When I was little I loved playing dress up. Princess dresses, tutus, fairy wings, and tiaras galore filled my closet and were brought out daily. Little did I know that once I got to college I would again be wearing costume on a regular basis. Every weekend there is a different themed party and during the week my sorority pledge … Austin City Limits FestivalOctober 12th, 2010
I was never really into music until I got to high school. And once I was introduced to the wonderful world of music I never wanted to leave. I love discovering new bands that no one knows about. I love rolling down my car windows and blasting the music while the wind blows through my hair or walking to class … Feet are Made for WalkingSeptember 26th, 2010
I grew up in suburban Houston where we had to drive to everything. I even occasionally drove to my friend’s house two blocks away. Needless to say my car was my life. But since I have come to college I think I have walked more than I have in my entire life. UT does not have the biggest campus but … Pass the KleenexSeptember 8th, 2010
During high school I was always the one the germs found first. Out of all my friends it seemed like I was always the first one to get a cold (if they even got one) and I got them the most often. When flu season came around my first stop was at the flu shot station. So it just seems … Move-in DayAugust 25th, 2010
The thermometer on my car read 101 degrees outside and it was only nine o’clock in the morning. But nothing was going to prevent me from moving into my college dorm room, not even the scorching heat. I had been waiting for move in day all summer and I was finally at UT for good! I opened the trunk of … OrientationAugust 4th, 2010
I had driven to Austin by myself before to visit my brother but this time was different. This time I was driving there for my first experience as an almost college student. I had no idea what to expect at orientation. I felt like I was a freshman in high school again only I wasn’t afraid of getting stuffed in … Ke$ha ConcertAugust 4th, 2010
I had been standing for four hours straight, I was hot and sweaty, I could barely breathe and I was squeezed between a six foot tall guy, two squealing high school girls, and one of my best friends. Plus I had voluntarily put myself in this position; even paid for it! But you were not going to hear me complaining. … The Roommate DecisionJuly 13th, 2010
There are so many decisions to make when leaving for college but one of the toughest by far has been deciding where to live. Do I want co-ed or all girls, on or off campus, pick a roommate or potluck. On the day of the deadline for making rooming decisions I still had not chosen where I wanted to live … Friends and GraduationJune 25th, 2010
My first day of kindergarten I sat next to a girl and we did not say a word to one another. The next day our teacher assigned us desks that were across the room from each other and from then on we were best friends. As we grew up the two of us realized we are the same in every … Prom DressJune 15th, 2010
When you are a freshman, sophomore, and junior in high school you often hear seniors talking about having senioritis. This is a condition where they don’t want to do any of their school work and the only reason they are coming to school is so that they do not lose their exemptions from taking finals. You immediately diagnose yourself with … College ApplicationsJune 5th, 2010
It was a rainy day last summer when I started my college applications. I had heard that first semester senior year at Memorial High School was going to be time consuming so I decided to get a head start on what I knew was going to be a grueling process. I sat down on my couch, and with my trusty … |
