For me, I have been in quarantine for about a month and I must say, it's had it's ups and downs. Some time to focus on yourself is always a good thing, but at some time it's a good idea to get out and get moving. I haven't really been out since the world-wide, mandatory quarantines were put into effect. But soon as the quarantine order is lifted, these are some things I am excited to do again:

See My Friends

I haven't seen any of my friends in quite some time, and i'm really missing them. I miss being at Mississippi State and going out at night with my girls and living our best lives. College is commonly known as "the best four years" and I can say I agree. I miss the old days of goofing off with my best friends. I can't wait to see them.

Not Being Scared Of People's Sneezes

This one speaks for itself. I feel like were all on edge and kinda paranoid because of this pandemic. I think that when this is all over, we will all have a new found appreciation of being able to stand beside someone without hearing, "six feet apart" in our heads.

Go to Canes

If you know me, you know how much I enjoy a good Canes chicken combo. Last summer when the Canes in my town opened, there is no telling how much money I spent on Canes Chicken. Ah, I miss it. I would even go as far to say that Canes is better than Chick Fil A. Yep, I said it.

Go Back to Starkville

Being a sophomore at Mississippi State University, I think of Starkville as my second home. Being told you can't be at your second home is quite disheartening. I can't wait to be back to attending classes and being at my apartment. I can't wait to be a functioning college student again.

These may seem like small wishes to some, but i'm sure i'm not the only one who can't wait to get back to the normal routine. We all wish to see our friends, eat out, and go back to normal environment. I hope things get back to normal soon, for all of our sakes.

Stay safe out there, kids.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
