Dear Ole Miss...

Thanks for the endless construction... Oh and the fun times I have had.

Dear Ole Miss...
olemiss.edu

Thank you for teaching me to grow up. Thank you for teaching me how to live on my own. Thank you for giving me more stress than you can ever comprehend.

Thank you for my friends. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have so many people to hang out with. Thank you for the late night talks, the cry sessions, and the realization that everything will be okay.

Thank you for my classes. Without the stress, I would not know how to handle the situations that come my way in the future. Thank you for teaching me about psychology. Thank you for teaching me things that I never knew like what the heck akinotopsia is and the fact that the average person spends 6 months of their life waiting for a red light to turn green. Thanks for all the fun facts that I was unaware of until I came here.

Most of all thank you for the life lessons. Thank you for helping me manage money. Thank you for helping me through the stresses of terrible roommates, and the joys of the good ones. Thank you for helping me to realize that it is okay not to be okay. Sometimes I need to know when to take a step back. Also, thank you for not giving me more than I can take. Thank you for the days of class cancellations. Thank you for all the fun snow days... we really need more of those... and thank you for the beautiful campus.

Not many people get to experience the wonderful times of being part of an SEC school. Thank you for allowing me to have that opportunity. I appreciate all of the tailgating, the games, and the fun of Double Decker. Also, thank you for the endless construction wherever I walk. I have decided to find it charming. :)

Thanks for being my home away from home. Even though you have given me some pretty difficult times over the years, the good times outweigh the bad. If it weren't for you, I would not know how to overcome my failures and eventually succeed. Graduation is coming soon for me, and I will look back one day and miss my times here. I thank you for letting me be a part of the Ole Miss community. I will love you always.

Of course, we all know that James Madison University is the greatest university in Virginia (perhaps even the entire country). There are many events and moments at JMU that are cherished and remembered by all dukes.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
