Rush

AOII, ADPI,TRIDELT, DG,KD, and the list goes on and on and on. College comes with many perks and one of them is definitely Greek life. And it so happens that Bama has one of the top Greek life out there. I have always wanted to be in a sorority from all the pics to being able to be apart of a sisterhood that will help me through my four years in a state I've never lived in and people I have never known. Greek life is not for everyone but I'm sure it's for me. The process of joining a sorority can be a little rough. At most schools it's seven days but it's nine at bama. The first three days a normal casual with pretty sandals. The fourth day is when you start wearing wedges and dressing up. The fifth and sixth consist of wedges also and there is a formal day. If I'm not missing anymore the ninth is bid day. Bid Day is when you find out who/where you're sorority/sisterhood is. One of the most exciting days is Bid Day. You find out who your big sis is and they help you through the rest of the recruitment process. Bid day will probably be the most exciting days!

final roommates

The search is officially over. Finally found my three roommates, and I couldn't be happier. We are all from different areas but Shay and I are both from South Florida. She's about an hour away. Next is Morgan she's from Pennsylvania  and we actually look like, which is kinda creepy. Lastly there's Shannon, she was the last one to join our dorm. Shay, Morgan, and I looked for three weeks for our last roomie. Basically had mini interviews for each girl that asked to join our suite. Trust me there's a couple weirdos here and there. But Shannon instintally clicked with us. The only thing is none of the girls are rushing so I'll be alone in our suite for a almost two weeks. Otherwise, none of us can't wait to meet and start decorating our lil suite. We already send each other room ideas 24/7 in our bama roomie  group chat. With all that being said can't wait to move August 3rd and join a sorority!

Last Block Schedule

This has had to be the longest week of my life. Not only because its the week before spring break but palmetto decided to make us go on block schedule. Meaning for three days we have two periods a day each for three hours. Starting with Monday having periods one and four, which wasn't too bad only for the fact that I had Ap biology for three hours. I love Ms.Nelson but she gave us a mock Ap exam and believe me I was not prepared for that. Even though I didn't do as bad as I thought. Next she made us take a mock FRQ. That was a total mess and 100% sure I bombed that. Thankfully I had variations after that and just danced for three hours which it typical. Tuesday was periods two and five. Period two being Economics with Mr.G and English fifth period with Mr. Panton. But senior picnic was that day so we were in the gym until we went to the zoo then were stuck back in the gym afterwards. The last and final day of block was Wednesday the longest day of all. Starting with math with Mr. Karpiak then anatomy with Mrs. Evans. Let me tell you three hours of math made me want to cry afterwards it was hell. WOOO!

New Roomies

College leads to adventures you never thought would come. One of them being finding a roommate to deal with your personality. Never would i have thought that finding a roommate would be this hard. Trying to explain yourself with a 200 max word count on a Facebook post, trying not to be weird or sound to cool for school. Then reading hundreds of post trying to find someone you just click with. To be honest it felt harder than trying to actually get into a university. Going back and forth over and over again with people you've never seen, meet, or heard of. Trying to not be mean when some random girl messages you asking to room together. But in the end you'll find your perfect roomies! As I did three days ago. Finally found three girls that want to live in the presidential village on campus with our own rooms and thank god our own bathrooms. All of us being from different states except for one who lives in West Palm. All liking the same things and wanting to decorate our lil apartment the same! And let me tell you I cannot wait to move in. But hopefully they're as cool as they seem and one of them isn't some crazy child.

PROM

Send help! Prom is April 30th but soon approaching. Already there is a Facebook page with all the palmetto girls posting pictures every 30 seconds. Posting pictures even if it isn't the dress they want. Claiming dresses before other girls do to make sure they don't show up with the same dress to prom. To our last senior event before graduation. Prom preparations start months before to make sure everything is perfect for that one Saturday evening. And then theres me who hates shopping online and can't seem to pick a dress she likes. Its hard enough picking one dress, or even finding one that catches your attention. And then falling in love with a dress thats almost 1,000 miles away and over five hundred dollars just on the dress. Imagine finding two that you love equally as much and deciding which prom to wear it too. Making appointments two months in advanced to make sure no one takes your slot and then your whole day is thrown off because of timing. Trust me it happened for homecoming. Not only does it come down to the dress but finding heels that stand out even though no one will see them under your dress. Lets not even get started on the after party dress. Next, trying to figure out bus situations and which friends you want to be with and trying to let your date be with his friends too. Oh my god lets not even get to promposals. Boys are clueless sometimes and do not ask oil the day before. The anxiety is real. send help.

Dance

As I have said over and over again time is ticking it's little heart away. And one of the most important things in my life is ticking away. Dance, I have been dancing since I was three years old. It's the only sport I have ever played. But its all coming to an end after my last dance show at palmetto. I hate to just stop dancing but it will be hard to balance my schedule with dance and college classes, especially since I would need to find a new studio in Tuscaloosa. Besides all those 15 years of dancing is catching up to me. I feel like an old lady and I'm on 17. Dancing is all I have ever known. From I could remember my excuse to not be able to hang out was "sorry I have dance" or "sorry I'm at dance", that excuse will no longer be valid. Its another bittersweet situation but I'm not going to completely give it up, that would be mentally impossible. With that being said I need and am going to make the most of the rest of senior year. Also, this last few moments on palmettos stage.

Flying By

Can someone let me know where all of our time has gone? Four months left until graduation and time is flying by. I can't seem to grasp it for a second and hold on. Paying for grad-bash, senior picnic, cap and gown, prom, and all the other senior events. Already seeing someone being asked to prom and I'm here trying to find a prom dress. Asking my parents for money every day for something new wether its for high school or for UA. Trying to hang out with all my friends every weekend but trying to send as much time possible with my parents. Knowing this is the last year I'll be waking up every day to them and seeing my dogs everyday. Spreading myself thin to not have any regrets of not spending enough time with the people I care most about. I know I say I hate palmetto every time I step into those hallways and find something broken or missing but truth is I love palmetto with its broken bathrooms and not having power for a whole day and being stuck there. Its where I have spent the past four years of my life meeting new people and spending more time with people I have known since pre-K.
