I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.

So today in my class, we had to do this little meditation deal....We had to close our eyes and go to our happy place. So that's what I did, closed my eyes...and low and behold I ended up in Oxford, Mississippi. Ole Miss makes me so happy and being in Memphis makes me miss it so much. I miss the parties. the football, the Grove, Sardis, driving around campus with the windows down while belting out tunes with my best friends. I miss my freedom and the lack of responsibility. I had no worries and not a care in the world. College is where I found myself and where I made the most amazing friends and memories. Thursday nights started our weekend. We usually ended up at the Library Sports Bar or Downtown Grill. On Fridays we would lay be the pool, come home get ready and hit the Square for the second night. On Saturdays we partied all day in the Grove with a sea of tents, red and blue solo cups, and an occasional Hotty Toddy chant. But Spring was my favorite time of year with baseball games and fraternity parties. I miss my sorority sisters so much and I am so sad we are scattered all over the US. I have one in Nashville, one on the coast of Mississippi, one is DC, one in the Carolina's, and one in New York. My only wish is that I could see and talk to them more. But we have grown up and grown apart. But looking back,I know I would not have changed a second of any day to save my life. So here's to hoping I will never forget the times I had there and the friendships I made.

It's time to get down to Buisness!!!

I am so thankful where I am in my life right now. I could not ask for better friends, better family, or school. It is finally starting to get very busy and very real. We have already lost 3 people and now that we have to make a perfect score on this stupid math test, that number could go up! But you know instead of studying tonight...I am going to tend to my very large rock...TELEVISION. I am going to continue my Monday night dinner club with one of my very best friends Kat. That's one thing I wont give up....without Monday night dinner/Bachelor, I would never see her. We start clinicals on Thursday, have a test tom, wed, and we had one today. So in the midst of all these test and classes, I am also going to make time to go to Nashville to see my other best friend Ally. She has this huge weekend planned for us and I know she wont let me down. I also think while we are there I am going to get my first tattoo. I wanted to get one last July when I was there, but my boyfriend at the time would have killed me. So now that hes toast, I want to finally do something for me. Something that means alot to me and something that represents everything I have been through over the last couple of months. I can not wait to get out of town and spend the weekend with my girls. It could not have come at a better time.

Its Finally Friday

So I am finally finished with the first session of Nursing school and I could not be more thrilled. So before the next session starts on Monday, I am going to take full advantage of this weekend. I am going to hang out with my besties that I never get to see anymore. I am going to go shopping and have some me time which I really never get to do anymore. Too bad I can not go get a manicure. Rats, that during clinicals I cant have my fingernails painted. But they did say that it was not a very glamorous career. I am going to one of my best friends going away party on Sat. When I say going away, I mean she is going to the Caribbean for 5 weeks. I am so jealous. I can not wait to just let loose and finally have the stress of school off of my back if even for just one night. Its gonna be the start of something great.
