"If I die young bury me in satin, lay me down in a bed of roses..."

Happy Easter!


Easter Vacation
I hope everyone had a great Easter holiday! This year, Easter break was a little different for me. I believe it was the first time I have not gone to church on Easter. :(   I hate I was not able to spend Easter Sunday with my church family, but the trip we took was very enjoyable and great family time. My parents recently bought a camper, so this Easter we went to Williamsburg, VA and camped out! The camper is very nice; way different from tent camping! Haha! Williamsburg is such a beautiful area. We explored Colonial Williamsburg as well as The College of William and Mary! I am absolutely in love with the college. If I lived in VA I would definitely have chosen to go to school there! Don't get me wrong, I love my university and it will forever hold a special place in my heart, but William and Mary is to die for. Aside from exploring the area we did a little shopping. They have a fairly new outlet mall and I was in need for some new spring/summer clothes. I hate shopping, so I rarely get new clothes. Therefore, it was time for a wardrobe update. Overall, it was a very enjoyable Easter vacation, but I could definitely have used a few more days at home!

End of the semester
I'm not sure where this year has gone, but it could definitely slow down! It is official, this week is dead week. However, it is never really dead. Supposedly, dead week is supposed to be an easy week or students, but I beg to differ. Dead week will be the death of us all! The work has piled up! Yesterday, I had a 12 page paper due. Tomorrow, I have a 4-6 page paper due & Friday, I have a project/presentation due! Goodness, so much work! However, it won't be long until summer break is here. I must say, I am excited for summer. Although, that will mean I am officially half way through with college and that is not something I am excited about. Truth is, I love college! It's perfect. I have my freedom and I am on my own for the most part; however, I still have and need my parents support. Also, I'm scared about "the real world." I trust, that I will be able to handle it, but I am scared I won't get into graduate school or what if I can't find a job in this horrible economy? So many things to worry about!

Kappa Delta
So, it's official. I am a full sister in Kappa Delta! Initiation was great. The senior send off is May 8 and my big is graduating! I don't know what I am going to do with out her at every event next year!! This is simply not ok, but I am so proud of her for all of her hard work over the last four years! I can't believe I won't see some of those girls until August once school gets out.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great and blessed week!

Good ol' days don't wash away...

Hey y'all!

It's been quite sometime since I have posted. I figured it was about time for an update! Throughout the past few week several things have taken place that I am very excited to share with you!

Good News:

I AM EMPLOYED! I was in a desperate search for summer employment and it seemed as if I was never going to find a job! However, God took care of me like always! I am one of the newest members at a dance store! It sells dance clothing, shoes, accessories as well as some gymnastics and cheer things! I started on April 1st and I am so excited! So far, I absolutely love it! It is has been sooooo nice to be around familiar things! As you all know, I miss dancing terribly! I feel as if this job will allow me to stay connected to the dance world! It's honestly a dream come true!

KAPPA DELTA! Today I took my new membership test and made a 100! In two days I will be a full sister in Kappa Delta! I'm so excited. I have worked so hard to get this stuff down pat and it is all paying off. I've only been in KD for a few short weeks and I have already met so many new people that I absolutely love and adore!! Not to mention KD just won Anchor Splash! For those of you who do not know, Anchor Splash is Delta Gamma's philanthropy event. It is a huge event and it is a great thing for the sorority and fraternity that wins! :)

Bad News:

Unfortunately, with the good news come the bad news. I have decided to leave the writing center. I have enjoyed my time there and have learned a lot about writing. However, with my new job I am fearful that I will not be able to handle two jobs, a sorority, and maintain my grades! So, this will be my first and last semester as a writing tutor.

Anyway, just wanted to update everyone! I hope you're all doing well and are having a great week! :)
