Astronomy

So I walked into astronomy thinking it would be the single greatest class. However, I've come to realize that I just really would like to have several blankets and a parka because it's the coldest class in the history of history. I'm in Nacogdoches, it's like 100 degrees outside and I'm walking around in sweaters because the cold from this class resonates. It lasts for like 20 minutes after the class is over. 

YouTube Tomorrow!

So Kelsey and I are super excited to be starting up our channel tomorrow! Hopefully we are successful in making you laugh. More successful than how I first spelled successful "succesffful." Right... ANYWHO, we will basically just be going through a quick run-through of who we are, what we are all about, and how our lives have gone thus far. We should even be able to show you our shiny, newly decorated AXE HANDLES! Which let me tell you something, I spent so much money on all the paint and stencils, and what have you. Being a college student teaches you frugality, not really, I just bought some lipstick online. 

So that's my main update for the day, love you guys!

Life Update

ONE LAST THING!!

I don't know if anyone even reads my blog, but in case anyone does, my best friend and I are starting a Vlog/YouTube channel, which I am really excited about. I will post the details later, and who knows maybe when people actually read this it will be because I promoted my blog on my vlog or whatever.

College Update

Being away from home has been really weird to be honest. I miss my dog, my brother, my family in general... 

It's the times when I'm feeling really down that I miss my Papa, he was THE BEST!

And my Mimi, because she's really amazing and strong.

And this sassy canine, my other half, my Abby. Look at that sass.

Then there is this little kid, who is the bomb dot com, and adorable, and a bio-terrorist with his streptococcal grossness that makes him an elementary kid.

And of course I miss my mom, she's my rock, being without her is really weird. However, I know this is what she wants me to do and that she's a three hour car ride away.

But the key is to just find things that bring you comfort. Adding personal touches to your dorm is really important, once you add pictures, posters, anything that is you, it all becomes easier. I added two Game of Thrones posters, one wolf poster, one Boondock Saints poster, and one James Dean poster, because let's be real, we all are attracted to James Dean.

That being said, living in a dorm comes with its headaches. People slam doors, they forget to remove laundry lint, and they run in the hallways. None of which would have bothered me had I been able to bring candles, candles make the world a better place. 

Mini rant... Y'ALL. DRYER. LINT. MUST. BE. REMOVED. You will start a fire, and I am not waking up at 2 AM just because you don't know how to do your laundry.

Music is VITAL! No one I have been able to spend time with so far likes country, so I've been sticking to the "usual." But when I study I get that break, classical music, or really anything that isn't lyrical is perfect for studying! I've recently gotten into listening to a Celtic Folk station on Pandora that is upbeat enough to keep you awake, but not distracting like Kansas. Carry On My Wayward Son is not conducive to focusing.

Because you want to do this...

And not this...

Celtic music sometimes makes you feel like this though...

It's week three and I honestly wish I would have discovered both Java Jacks and the library sooner, because they totally get me. Java Jacks plays the most PERFECT radio station and the library just gives me a nice bright place to get it all done. I feel like I need to elaborate on the amazing place that is Java Jacks... So they play this indie station that throws in some Marley every once and awhile. Plus they have tea you can buy for like a dollar a package, which in college student dollar conversions is amazing. Their staff is, as I've seen so far, all college students, and they have good wifi.

NEVER underestimate the importance of a planner! I seriously live by my planner, I just recently started writing my schedule for my day out by 30 minute intervals, and plan breaks, and it works SO WELL!! Like it  is perfect, for real! Once you get it going, it reduces stress so much!

I am making up for my lack of candles by air freshener, I am totally a Febreeze person, but y'all... Glade is sold for like 97 cents and I've bought like ten. I have an addiction to all things that smell delicious! It's a problem... My latest favorite is the Cashmere something or other from Glade. Heavenly.

The hardest part is definitely making roommate agreements, like be home by this time, no music after this time, and what have you. Luckily, my roommate is super cool!

That is all!

Why I Love Supernatural

When people catch onto my addiction to Supernatural, A.K.A. when I gush about how much I love Supernatural, I'm often questioned why I like the show so much. I can give you three basic reasons...

1. Jared Padalecki

2. Jensen Ackles

3. Misha Collins

I have an affinity for these men. Too bad they're all older than me by a significant amount, married, and so famous that the chances of me meeting them are slim to none.

However, I could come up with several more reasons to why I like the show.

4. They dance

5. They make the best faces

6. They treat each other like my friends and I teach each other

7. Jensen sings

8. Well...

Yeah.. That's not even all, the show is basically just amazing. I just realized this list came full circle. But I mean I can tell you all about Supernatural.

While watching the gag reel, I realized how much time actually elapsed between seasons, I watched all 8 in such a short time that I forgot it started in 2005. Jared started off looking like a baby... Dean even looked so young and then you see them with beards...

Then it's just like "OMG they're actually grown men"

Well I guess that's really it for now...
