A Review: September 2018

In September I got used to college, but not enough to not go home.

I'm Back!
For Labor Day I went back home, yay! I even went back to work because my brother was feeling sick. It was so nice to even be at the pool and see familiar faces again.

Actually , my last day that year.

Birthday
For one of my friends' birthdays I created a piece of art featuring her favorite things.

Pool
One day during a trip to Target I saw an inflatable pool on sale. I figure we should have a pool in our room! So, we take it back inflate it and add water! it only stayed for a week though, it was taking up room and creating humidity. It was cool to say I had a pool in my room.

Freshman Camping Trip
In September I attended the Freshman Camping Trip with CRU. I really enjoyed the chill in the air and how quiet it was. The stars were also pretty. I talked with a lot of people too. Overall, it was fun.

This is my face most of the time.

Hiking
With the Catholic club I participated in a mini retreat where the freshmen got to know each other with fun events like sofa racing and milkshakes. That was all fun, but the next day was a hike! I did not enjoy it. I was out of breath which was weird because I do fine on hikes at home. There was also a lot of uphill and I was just exhausted with it. I do not like hiking. However there were nuns and they talked to me, so that was fun.

Surprise!
After hearing I should surprise my family by coming home unexpectedly, I did! I took a bus and traveled all the way home! I was pretty proud of myself! I didn't really do much except hang out. My family was happy to see me!

Parking Day
Once again in another post I go over Parking Day where my group and I turned a parking spot into a interactive piece of art. That was a busy day though. I went from class to class! I really wanted to play kickball with the nuns that day, but I couldn't because of my schedule.

What I Have Learned in College
A lot of September is in my "What I Have learned in College" post including don't go to Wal-Mart after 10.

September was a very quick month and included lots of new experiences.

God Bless!

20 Activities for 20 year Olds

Good Morning Family and Friends! Recently I have been incredibly bored, hopefully my online classes will entertain me more. I have previously stated that I wasn’t practicing social distancing or whatever, however my mom has been making me stay inside more often and now Colorado is on lockdown. I looked up activities for 20 year olds and didn’t find anything, I guess people make these lists for stay at home moms with young children. So, I decided to make my own list for you, the audience, if you’re bored (which if you’re reading this you probably are) and looking for something to do. Read Woah, how original...read. I don’t read for pleasure often. In the summer I read The Great Gatsby and I usually read one of Father Greg Boyle’s books some other time in the year. I also read my Vogue magazines. Two books and a magazine isn’t that much. However, since there is more time to do stuff, I figured I could read more. My brother gave me The Princess Bride to read, I’ve read a lit...

Major Life Advice

Recently during class I was giving an acquaintance/friend advice after being asked "How am I so happy?" and another acquaintance/friend wanted me to begin as she thought this was very important. Today I want to share part of a book (google doc) that I've been writing throughout the years that is full of advice I have received and found. Today is the Best Day of My Life This may sound crazy, but it's true, everyday is the best day of your life because you never know when life will end. I learned this from my dad who even thought it was crazy when he heard it from his friend. This advice has helped me look at the positive in every day things. For example in high school I didn't enjoy waking up around 4 am for swim practice, but when I dad told me this advice, I started thinking about it began enjoying early mornings. How lucky was I to do what I love, be awake before anyone else, talk to my friends, and laugh endlessly before the sun rose? So lucky and as ...

What I've Learned in College: End of Freshman Year Fun part 2

Continued from Part 1 8.Cowboys are Real Cowboys are typically seen as people who used to live in the Wild West years and years ago. I honestly think that my grandfather was one of the last American cowboys. While, I wills till continue to this this, I have learned that cowboys are still real! Every once in a while, I will see an old man sporting leather cowboy boots, a blue pair of Wrangler jeans, a button down shirt, a weathered, leather belt, a leather vest, a cowboy hat, a grown out beard, and skin weathered and tan like the leather. I didn’t think people still dressed like this besides for show! This is someone’s real life outfit! I am always astonished to see people like this because I don’t see them regularly. They look like their straight off a horse in ye old west! Students even wear cowboy boots daily! It’s something else. 9. People still pressure you. I don't drink for multiple reasons, and I was under the impression that people don't pressure people i...
