It's Big Week!!

So the time has finally come! I'm getting a big!! I love being in a sorrority! Best part about getting a big? I get presents everyday all week! They're supposed to also serve as clues but really they're just cute things to keep us occupied and to build the suspense for the big reveal on Friday! 

This is the first thing I got on Monday. It was delivered to my door! It has Reese's and chocolate and twix and everything! And not to mention it's so cute! 

This was delivers to me today at dinner. It has my initial (which is now above my bed!) and a t shirt with the Alpha Mu Sigma letters on it! Granted I'm not allowed to wear it until next week... But still! My big I guess is just a rebel ;) 

Ahh I don't even know who it is yet but I already love my big!!

Never Ending Homework

I swear homework just doesn't end. No matter how much you've done that day there is always something else that's due. So, I decided I would give out some of my best tips on how to stay organized and (partially) sane while dealing with the never ending pile of homework.

My Weekly Homework List

1. DONT PROCRASTINATE! I know that everyone has been hearing this for probbably as long as they have been in school, but it's so true! I used to always procrastinate in high school and I still got good grades! So why would college be different? I was so WRONG! Everything you do in college is important. No assignment takes 5 minutes, so you can't save it till the day before, or worse the day of! 
2. Keep a to do list! I LOVE lists! They let me know what it is I have to get done. They also keep me calm! I like knowing what needs to be done and to see it, rather than just keeping an abstract list in my head that is always changing.
3.  HAVE FUN! Remember you're in college. Although homework is a big part (I mean it is technically school!), it still isn't everything. Don't just sit in you're room all day (you don't want to be my roommate!). Go have fun! It makes the homework, so much less worse!

Roommate Struggles

The hardest part of college is not the academics or finding your social niche. No, the hardest, most difficult, most frustrating part of college is dealing with roommates! I don't know how people in triples or quads can do it. I'm struggling with just one! To describe all of her strangeness would just take to long.... 
So instead here is what I shall call the "highlight" list,

• She goes to bed at 9:30 at night
• She is ALWAYS in the room! 
• I never get anytime to myself!
• She gives the dirtiest looks to anyone who comes in my room
• She's mean to my friends when I'm not there
• She never stops talking! Especially when I'm clearly doing homework
• She always complains things are dirty
• I'm a neat freak, who cleans everything atleast twice a week; nothing is dirty
• She vacuums maybe once a month
• 8:00 am is late for her to wake up...... Her first class is at 10:30am......

I feel like I'm constantly walking on egg shells trying to make her feel comfortable. I don't know how to do anything else. Luckily the good thing about her is that she goes home most weekends. I don't want to be mean, but how do I remind her that it's my room too? Am I being over dramatic? UGH!!

Oh well at least I get to go home this weekend for the first time!  

My Latest Obsession

I have found my new favorite website! Now, down here there are a lot of monograms, and I like them, but I have no idea where to get them! That is until I fould Marley Lilly. Its a website that puts monograms on just about anything you can imagine! Last week I found out they were having a flash sale. So, I decided to order my first monogram! A pink seersucker bow with a mint green embroidered monogram! The wait is killing me! I don't know what is taking so long!
 This is what it will look like but mint green writing! Isn't it pretty?!? Ugh I just can't wait! You can find anything on this website! 

So now I love bows! I just can't wait!
