New Beginnings!

I am sorry that I haven't blogged in so long! These first few months of college have been a whirlwind. Trying to stay organized and slightly sane has been a challenge but I am loving every minute. Let me just say I LOVE college. So far it has been a great experience full of living and learning from mistakes, growing up and making many new friends. I joined a sorority and I love all of my sisters. My mother was especially excited because I decided to pledge her sorority and I am now a member of the Chapter that she was a founding sister of! I was selected as one of 15 new student ambassadors for Georgia College and State University out of an applicant pool of over 80 students and I love getting to share my love of GC&SU with all of the precious prospective students. My classes keep me busy, but I feel like now I have gotten through the most stressful part of the year---registration for next semester! Did I mention that I will be a sophomore in the Spring? I don't want to graduate early!!
Some highlights from the year so far:
1.Bid Day--when I ran out to all of my future sisters it truly felt like home
2. Big/Little week--I have the BEST big ever :)
3. Initiation--my mama got to be there, she cried
4. Finding out I was selected as a student ambassador
5. Making a 100 on 2 research papers!!!
And many more that I just can't remember right now.
I truly feel like I have grown up these last three months. I have gotten to figure out exactly who I am and for the first time I feel comfortable in my own skin. There aren't cliques in college like high school. I feel like everyone is so accepting and have made lifelong friends that I know will be there in a heartbeat if I call them. I do miss my family, but I know they are only a phone call or a short ride away.

Last night was our Band Party celebrating 35 years on campus for my sorority. We were the first sorority allowed on campus and all of Greek Life came out to celebrate. It was so much fun! The band was amazing! This morning we had an alumni luncheon and my mama came and saw here best friend/sister from college that she hadn't seen in almost 30 years. It was absolutely adorable to see them catching up on the old days and sharing all of their funny stories from college. ( I should probably go ahead and tell y'all that my mother is my favorite person in the world and I aspire to be half of the gracious southern woman that she is when I finally "grow up")
AND Tonight is LUKE BRYAN!!!! I am going to get ready with my big and then we are all going together! I am so excited :)

I promise to start blogging more and post pictures from our upcoming socials and other campus events.
I want to thank everyone who reads my blog and all of you faithful bloggers who have inspired me!
Pray for me this week--I have a 10 minute oral spanish exam on Monday, where I have to talk to my teacher (who is from Mexico) in spanish for 1o minutes.

Love Y'all!
