It's Been a While...

Well, it's been a while since I last blogged. Over a year, to be exact. And quite the year it has been! I'm planning on blogging more regularly (partly because I have to for a 200 point grade in my social media marketing class, #unamk375, and partly because I just need to). After this post to catch you up on my life and all of the strange happenings, I plan to actually give this blog some sort of randomized purpose. I really want to write about how I save money while paying  my own way through college (thanks Mom, for teaching me how to be responsible with finances!), about the different "healthy" baking experiments I've tried (doctor's orders!) and about all the cute crafts (and Pinterest fails) I've made (or attempted to make) for my little sister in Phi Mu. But that all comes later.

Summing up the last year and 3 months can be made simple. I quit my job at Cracker Barrel, set the fire alarm off in Appleby East a few more times (see It Was Just a Potato for reasons why this is important), was elected as Vice President of Philanthropy and Scholarship for National Panhellenic Conference at UNA (of which I will be President of beginning in January 2015), planned an event for said position, signed a contract with Residence Life as an RA in a freshmen residence hall, quit band, finished my sophomore year of college with a great GPA and watched as one of my best friends made the bold decision to travel to England AND Germany all by herself. I'm totally living vicariously through you Bethany, by the way. Then, I worked at the YMCA as a lifeguard where I made lots of new friends and closed the pools because summer camp kids pooped in them. After that, I watched my first baby brother graduate from high school and begin his college journey, and I'm so proud of him! Later on, I celebrated 2 years of dating Mr. Jeremy Curry, and it's totally crazy how time flies. I'm pretty sure it was just yesterday that I was totally intimidated by the large southern man who oh-so-sweetly introduced himself to me. Those are pretty much the important things that happened to me in the last year.

Recently, I've been plowing through my junior year at UNA with suprisingly slow speed. It seems as if reality hits the hardest when you're almost done with school. Classes are actually not easy, and I totally regret never getting into the habit of doing the textbook reading when I was a freshmen. I promise I'm working on it now. But take it from me, always do the reading. I found out that I actually have a problem with my insulin (not diabetic..hopefully never will be) and I had to totally change my eating habits, which is great for me, but super-duper hard. I got another little in Phi Mu, shout-out to June for being my tuba-playing protege and twin soul. Ultimately, 2014 has shaped up to be a great year, and hopefully it'll go out with a bang.

I know this was a super random, rambling post and I promise I'm working on it. Thanks for your patience! I'll actually be posting again later this week, provided I survive Thursday(sort of kidding) but watch this video to fully understand what I'm talking about! UNA Closing

Thanks for reading!
