If you've ever lived in the Midwest, than you know how terrifying yet exciting tornado season is. However, what can be even more "exciting" is watching the reactions of those who haven't lived in here. Now imagine a tornado warning, with over 100 girls in the basement of your freshman dorm, all during Finals week. Here are a few thoughts I had..

  1. If someone tells me to get in the shelter I will cry.
  2. "LADIES GET DOWN TO THE BASEMENT" is the worst thing in the world
  3. Man, a lot of girls live here!
  4. I've never even see that girl before, who are you...you don't live here.
  5. What if I'm stuck with nothing but girls for hours that would be awful..
  6. Awww it's like a giant sleepover but you know, dangerous..
  7. If I have to pee is that frowned upon? The bathroom is right there.
  8. Nah..ill just hold it.
  9. CRAP! I don't have shoes on my mom would be so disappointed.
  10. I should text my mom and tell her I'm safe, that would be nice of me.
  11. She wasn't worried that's fine.
  12. LOL Texas girl in the corner is FREAKING OUT.
  13. Welcome to Oklahoma friend where the wind really does sweep down the planes and through buildings.
  14. What if you didn't grow up with naders that would suck..
  15. Ok...but they have like earthquakes in Cali that would be actually the worst.
  16. I FORGOT TO FEED MYSELF.
  17. Honestly I never feed myself this isn't a new thing but now it's magnified because people are hungry around me.
  18. I have I final at 8am tomorrow I got stuff to do.
  19. Do I have to take my finals if a tornado hits a building?
  20. That would be sad but honestly I deserve summer time I've worked hard.
  21. Where's my roommate?!?!
  22. Oh there she is. Glad to see you gurl
  23. Oh my gosh she has snacks!
  24. First of all bless you x77 I love you.
  25. my laptop won't connect to the WIFI this is actually the worst.
  26. I should have brought my book but noooo I had to be a modern college kid and count on the Internet.
  27. HAIL! Awesome. Fantastic. That's what everyone needs right now is hail damage
  28. Alright it's hot now this needs to end..
  29. someone's dad is here because he was trying to move his daughter out.
  30. Not all heroes wear capes.
  31. I wonder if that hot guy in my anatomy class is safe right now, I've never talked to him but I felt a connection.
  32. Stay safe super hot guy we have a final Thursday.
  33. I haven't studied for that..
  34. LOLOLOLOLOLOL send help.
  35. Oh man that girl is in a dress and heels
  36. I'm in a giant t-shirt and shorts..
  37. What if I die like this and someone finds my body without makeup on and with my hair in a mess, I'd be an ugly dead person right now so I can't die my grandma warned me about this, I'm never going to get married.
  38. I literally move out in 4 days I don't have time for this.
  39. My roommate is telling me the weather update every 8 seconds so I'm super safe I don't need to check.
  40. It's been 45min this isn't fun anymore..
  41. Also my gum has lost its flavor so everything is just bad.
  42. You know it could be worse I could be stuck in the all boys dorms.
  43. ...would that really be a bad thing Dia?
  44. Yes. Yes the smell is that bad you deserve better than that.
  45. *the math final has been canceled*
  46. OH NICE!!!!

  57. I would have to get past the scary RA but like you know it's worth it.
  58. You gotta risk it to get the buttery deliciousness.
  59. Oh! PEOPLE ARE MOVING!

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
