Guess who’s all moved in?! That’s right, meeee!! I was surprised that Move-In day was not as hectic as it was last year. Everything went a lot smoother and we finished moving in quickly. Before I knew it, I was saying farewell to my family. And even though it’s my second year, it was still very tough saying goodbye to them. Yes, I’ll admit that I was crying like a baby…maybe more so than last year! But I’ll see them again soon, and until then I’m going to enjoy my time back in Iowa City. 🙂

I didn’t do much on my first day in Iowa because I was soo worn out from moving in that I called it a day early. That was kind of boring. But today I went to the President’s Block Party and got some free food! Woot woot! I wasn’t too thrilled about the long lines though. >:( I also felt kind of odd knowing that I wasn’t a freshman anymore. I sort of miss that feeling. But ooooh well. :/

Well anyways, I can’t wait for Welcome Week starting tomorrow! It’s my favorite time of the year! There’s always people giving you free stuff around town and who doesn’t want cool free stuff?! Ahhhh! I can’t wait! 🙂

After the first year of college away from home, a summer full of old friends, family, some fun in the sun was definitely needed! But now, summer has come to an end and it is now time to get back into gear! That’s right! It’s that time again! Back to school we go! And this time, I’m returning as a sophomore! Woot woot! 🙂

I’ll be moving in this Saturday and I can’t wait! This year I’ll still be living on campus, but instead of living in a single at Quad like last year, I’ll be at Mayflower with three of my suitemates. I’m excited and also very nervous to be sharing a room with three other girls, but luckily these girls are friends from last year. So I’m hoping that this year will be awesome and better than the last!

My classes are pretty sweet this semester and I’m really looking forward to them…well except for Principles of Computing…that doesn’t sound too much fun. But other than that I’m taking Mexican American History, Intro to Film Analysis, Taller Basico de Escritura Creativa (Spanish Creative Writing), and Screenwriting. 🙂 I really really really hope that I do well in all of them! Especially in my writing classes! I’m really having doubts about my English major, so before I do anything drastic, I’m hoping that these writing classes can remind me why I love writing in the first place!! I’m going to be writing like craaaaaazy this semester! I’m very excited! Oh, and I also got a job at the River Room Cafe at the IMU! I’m pretty stoked for that too! One thing for sure, it’s going to be a pretty busy year! Like I’ve said so many times before, I’M READY!!

But in the mean time, I have just a few days left of summer vacation, and I’m going to be spending them packing! I’m sooo ready for summer AND this hot weather to be over already! I’m ready for nice chilly autumn (or fall…whatever you wanna call it!)

I’m counting the days! Iowa City, here we go again!! 🙂

Soooo it’s finally summer vacation and I’m super happy! I’ve been in Omaha for three weeks now and it feels great to be home! I’ve been having an awesome time and I’m loving every second of it! 🙂

Finals went well and my grades weren’t bad either, although I wish I would have done better in a few classes. I’m really getting sick of C’s. >:/ Back in high school, I was pretty much an A and B student…very little C’s… and I’m guilty of getting two D’s. I was not perfect, but overall I was a very good student with no need to study at all. But once I got to college…I got a huge reality check! There is no way you can pass a class without studying! It’s just impossible! Unless you’re some sort of super genius with a photographic memory, you’re going to bomb a class if you do not study! Plain and simple! Yes, I know studying doesn’t sound fun, but that’s just part of the college life. You can have fun and enjoy yourself, but you also have responsibilities to deal with.

It amazes me that I’ve already completed my first year of college. Around this time last year, I graduated from high school and began a new journey. It was an exciting time and I do miss those days. I also kind of envy the class of 2011 because they are now going through the same thing. I’m happy for them and I wish them the best because the next step in their life has begun. So congratulations class of 2011 and welcome class of 2015! 🙂

You’ll soon experience the college life first hand and I hope you’re excited! 🙂

Ahhh! Yes! Heck yes! Its finally over! This long and crazy semester is over!! I have completed everything that I needed to complete and now I can relax and enjoy my break in peace without any stress or pressure. I am so relieved to have gotten all my work done and finally feeling like I’m able to breathe. College is really no joke. Its not all just fun and games and I have surely realized it my first semester. I have learned a lot in just the four months that I have been here, not just in school but about myself as well. I feel like I have grown into a better person and I am happy with where my life is going right now. This semester was only the beginning and I still have many semesters of hardcore studying and essay writing to do. But I can confidently say, bring it on ’cause I’M READY! 😉

For now however, I’ll be waiting peacefully for winter break in my sweet hometown, Omaha, Nebraska. 🙂 <3 I hope everyone enjoys their break too and HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE! 🙂
