Badluck TaDaria!

First of all, I woke up extremely tired because I was given a shot to cure my flu symptoms but how some side affects to it. The only side affect that affected me was the insomnia. Due to that, I got no sleep the entire night or morning so I got up and got dressed very tired. My first day back to campus after the Christmas break was today. I was so excited to be back on campus that everything around me made me appreciate my school. I happily went to the computer lab to print out my four page paper which was due today, everything went well with that, it was a very successful print. Okay so I figure since I'm doing better and my flu feel like it leaving, why not get a Frappacino. What a huge mistake. I drank the frappacino with no problems. Later, after I was leaving English class, I went by the business office to sign my promissary note, after I left there, I made a stop by the financial aid office. To my surprise, I was told that I was due to get a refund check next friday. I was so ecstatic! I was happy to say the least. It never dawned on me that all I needed to do was sign a couple pieces of paper to get a much needed check.

Happy with my check, I went back to my dorm room wearing all smiles. Soon the frappicino started to affect me. I felt sick to my stomach and for some reason I felt as if my insides were exploding. I was so sick on the stomach, as I made it to the bathroom, vomit went everywhere. I was way too sick to drink a frappicino so early after my healing of the flu. Still I didn't vomit it all up so I still had an extremely sour stomach but I went on with my day. Next, I headed back to the computer lab to type my paper on Autism. That went well, great paper, in just a couple of minutes. Happily I stepped out of the library all to find that it was raining. To say the least, I was soaking wet and had to change clothes. Mind you, I'm still a little sick and the last thing that needed to happen was me getting caught in the rain. I still took this gesture with a smile on my face. I stepped out of my room long enough to use the restroom, leaving my keys and purse in the room. As I returned from the restroom, I noticed the door was locked and my roommate was long gone. I texted her and told her my problem and she hurriedly came to let me in. I was so thankful for her gesture.

I paitently waited for my friends to get ready so that we could enjoy a lunch together, it would be the first one in a long time. I was so happy to see all my friends. My stomach would only allow me to eat a salad so I got just that and a cup of orange juice. As I sat down to enjoy my salad my full cup on Orange juice wasted all over my favorite dark blue jeans. I sadly had to walk all the way back to my dorm room in the cold to change my pants. I quickly changed and headed back to the cafe still too embarassed. We ate, laughed, joked and caught up on everything I missed. I guess I was enjoying the lunch way too much because I completely forgot that my class started a 2:25 and it was now 2:30. I gathered my things in a hurry and went to class. Only to find out that the 3 page paper I did on Autism was only supposed to be 1 measly page. what a horrible day!

Unknown Guy (cont.)

Okay, so the unknown guy is still around and he's everything I want in a boyfriend right now. The hard part is me actually getting him. I don't know how this is gonna work out. Everything started off great like I knew it would, I recieved good morning text messages every single morning as well as good night messages for about a week straight. He would even send little cute message to make me blush. I remember the day he wanted to see me before he went to study hall, it made me feel so good to know that he was feeling me as much as I was feeling him. I texted more often and even attempted to call on occassions. I had this guy right where I wanted him and I was loving every single solitary minute of it. It seemed like a wonderfu guy and I just wanted to be around him all the time.

Between the week that we meet and the following, everything started to change, the text messages stopped coming and the daily hugs I recieved from him stopped coming as well. I don't know what went wrong to this very day but I wish I could get it all back, I want this guy in my life or at least I think so right now. I know he's not perfect but the days we talked, it seemed that way. I want to so bad to get back on the level we were on but i'm so confused as to how this can be done. I wish I could read his mind for one day to see how he really feels and to see if I'm just more crazy over him then I should be. Boys are extremely confusing but I must say that this situation is the most confusing. I can see this guy now and he'll speak but I want so much more. I think we both deserve more, we could do each other some good.

Maybe my best bet will be to let things fall into play and not worry about the situation so much but it's extremely hard not too. How can everything be so perfect for a couple weeks and then change over time. I'm so freaky curious, I've racked my brain to try and figure out every possible thing I could to put the pieces together and i'm still clueless. I want this guy in my life FOR REAL but I don't know what measure I should take. I've never been the type to chase the dude and I don't plan to start but I do want answers and quick.

MYSPACE.COM

I am addicted to Myspace. I was first introduced to myspace my sophomore year in high school and I've loved it ever since. It allows you to show so much spirit and emotion, people can tell from your myspace page basically what type of person you are. I enjoy decorating my page. It usually takes me about 2 days to complete a myspace page. I put my all into my page because I want people to know exactly how i'm feeling at the time. Sometimes myspace can tell more than it's meant to and from my past expirences has caused drama but I appreciate the site. It's one of the few places that I can be myspace and let my personality rock. Many people who meet me on myspace get to know the real me before they actually know me and I think it's one of the things that make the site so great. I think Tom was a genius for inventing the site and as long as people like myself support it, i think it'll be up and running for years. The site allows you to meet new people and gain life long friends and I hold it dear to me. I can sit on the computer for hours on myspace even though after I'm done i'll have a migraine. It's all worth it and i'm thankful for the free spritted website. You don't have to hide who you are, you can be yourself and still make your page so that it fits only you.

Photography!

My favorite past time is photography. I take pictures all day long, spure of the moment type stuff. No matter how i'm feeling, pictures always take my mind off my troubles. My family has grown accoustom to my need to take pictures all the time; it has become a family thing. I also love to change the pictures from black to white and add animations that illustrate greatness. Pictures are worth a thousand words and I think all moments should be captured so one can hold on to lost memories.

I've always loved to smile but it wasn't until this past Christmas that I became upset with taking pictures. I can't make it through the day without taking a least one picture, it just doesn't seem right. What is life without pictures. I don't like planned pictures all the time, I think off guard shots are better. When people don't expect their picture to be taken, it makes everything so much better.

Thanksgiving Break

This year, Thanksgiving break wasn't the best but I was thankful. Our break begun on Tuesday, November 25. We weren't due back to school until that following Monday. The break wasn't too long but I was just happy to be out of school. On Tuesday, I left for Jackson to go to my cousin's high school basketball game against their known rivials. My mom, my cousin and myself left around 3 o'clock to go to Jackson for the game that would start at 7 o'clock. We all packed over night bags because we knew our stay their could be long. The game was such a good game. My cousin's team was always leading but the other team was close behind. The fans cheered, the referees cheated but the game went on. At the end, my cousin's team graciously accecpted their bragging rights and walked out of the gym full of confidence.

The next day my aunt had a bad episode with the flu. The week prior to our visit, she went to the doctor and was told that she had the flu. She could not move and wasn't doing too well at all. We could all tell she was unable to drive so we had to stay in Jackson another day. Instead of leaving early Wednesday as planned, we later had to change our plans to Thursday morning, the day of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was okay but I didn't get to spend anytime with family or eat thanksgiving food.

Sadly by Friday night I was catching the flu from my aunt and now how the very distinctive symptoms. I was extremely miseralbe and wasn't able to spend the remainder of my break with my family but the rest of my break was spent in the bed with the studpid flu. I am still very thankful for everybody in my life and happy that I was living to see my family and friends on that day.

Boys Basketball Season

I am a die-heart basketball fan. I look forward to watching the games every year. I love basketball with everything in me, there is not another sport that can add up. There is just something about the way the ball is shaped, the way the uniforms fit and the air of the players themselves. Basketball players stand out more than any other players. They carry themselves in a laid back type way and I am just in love with their Million dollar Swagger that they uphold. It may seem crazy but I don't think life would be life without basketball.

No matter what sport a person may play, they still always make time for a game of basketball every now and then. Everybody can't play basketball though, it definitely a blessing. The sport shows undeniable talent and it's easy to catch your attention. What is life without basketball? I could watch boys play basketball all day long, I guess it's just in my blood. I grew up in a family who loved sports and basketball was at the top of the list. Everyone in my family played basketball while they were in high school and was great at the sport. All except for me, I may not know how to shoot a basket but I know all the rules and I enjoy the heck out of the game.

Basketball season for the Eagles is going great. They've only lost two games so far. The talent is awesome and everybody knows what their doing. The leading scorer Jeremy Wise is a dynamic player. He's a team player and he certainly knows how to control the ball. At 6 foot 4 his skills may just lead him to the pros. Craig Craft, Courtney Beasley, R.L Horton and Andre Stephans are also great players. The team is the "BEST" in my book. The sport is dynamic and it's a pleasure to watch.

Relationship Problems

Okay, so I've never been that great in the dating department but as one gets older, they want somethings to change. First of all let me give you some background information on my dating situations, at age 16 I was more ready than every to date; however, I was told by both of my parents that I just wasn't ready but that they would give me a shot once I turned 17. Great, or so I thought. At age 17, I started dating my first boyfriend. He was sweet and the perfect gentleman but I knew something had to be wrong. I am an extremely shy person before I get to know people but once I know you, I come around. Well this guy was a lot like myself, we were both shy and didn't know how to cope with the situation. Since the guy was older, I thought he would have a little more experience but boy was I wrong. He hardly ever said a word and believe it or not, I talked more than he did. This relationship was just not working so I ended it without having second thought. I still wonder how things would be now if I would've held on but I honestly think 6 months was ample enough time to be comfortable around your significant other.

Then there was Mr.Cheater himself. I met this guy my sophomore year in high school. I heard stories about this guy since I was in junior high and I promised myself that I would never get involved with a guy like him. Boy was I sadly mistaken again. This guy was best friends with my first cousin, he told him that he liked me and wanted me to give him a chance. I thought long and hard trying to be stern with my decision but I was soon suckered into him when he made a surprise visit to my home on the day of USM's homecoming 2006. He stood in my mother's living room begging her to allow him to date me also promising that he would never hurt me. What a lie! We started talking in late September just as friends and before you knew it we were going on a date. The date went well and I had more fun then I would have ever imagined. The following day, he asked me to be his girlfriend. With a lot of hesitation, I finally agreed. I was happy with my boyfriend and proud as ever. This guy had me on Cloud 99 and no matter what he did, I could see no wrong. He swept me off my feet, soon telling me the three words that my ears longed to hear, "I Love You". I knew we would be together forever, I was truly in love and no one could tell me other wise. Everything was just great, that is until his ex-girlfriends got involved. I was told that he was still "dating" her. I had always felt in my heart that there was a possibility but I refused to believe it. A couple months later, the ex became pregnant, swearing that my boyfriend was the father. Like any other person would, I removed myself from the relationship, never looking back. I never received closure and still to this day wonder, "what if"? I can't believe I was so blind but you live and you learn and I hold this experience close and would never forget the trouble and drama this relationship brought me.

After the cheating relationship, I didn't date again until I graduated from high school. This relationship didn't last long either. I was dating a high school junior who had no freedom what so ever. I can't say I was in love with him but more so infatuated with the fact that i was more experienced than my companion. I felt so much older and more mature but the relationship soon got boring. I had grown accustomed to going out on dates every weekend and spending time with my boyfriend's but this relationship was completely different. We never talked on the phone, went on dates or saw each other for long. The only time I would see him was in my 4Th period Child Development class that we both had together. So, like all my other relationships, I ended this one never looking back. I don't wonder about this one because I was merely attracted to the guy and the phase I was in when I liked him ended quickly. As I look back on my dating problems, I'm thankful that I experienced the things that I did, that way I'll be better prepared for the "Real World". I don't regret any of my experiences, they were all fun while they lasted.

Halloween/ Homecoming

From the time the month of October started, I was extremely excited about Halloween and the upcoming homecoming game. There would be parties all week long started on Thursday. However, my best friend planned to have her own Halloween partied at her home just because. Although I planned to go to the club on the Friday of Halloween for the big costume party hosted at Club Palace. I was really looking forward to it, everybody was planning to go. As time progressed, I still wasn't so sure as to what I was going to do. My first instinct was to go to the party and have to deal with my friend later but I felt that it was the wrong thing to do. To make a long story short, I missed out on the best party of the year to attend my best friend's boring Halloween party. A majority of the time all we did was talked until someone finally came up with the bright idea to watch scary movies. This idea didn't work out to well, do to the fact that we waited so late, all of the good scary movies were long gone so we ended up renting Vacancy and The Hitcher. I had already seen Vacancy so I wasn't looking forward to it at all and The Hitcher didn't interest me at all either. My night was ruined and I will never forget the night that I missed out on the hottest party of the year :-(.

Homecoming was a lot better. My best friend LaQuita came down from Georgia to attend the homecoming game with. We went shopping together and overall had a ball. The game was a lot of fun also, we laughed and enjoyed the game all in one. This night definitely made up for my ruined Halloween. After the homecoming game, we got dressed to go to Club Palace for an after party which would held a performance by our very own B.G. The performance wasn't good to me at all and the party certainly wasn't worth the 20 dollars I paid to get in but my bestie and I made it fun and enjoyed the time we spent together. After the club, we decided to go to our hot spot; Waffle House. This was always the spot we would eat out during the summer before she moved to Georgia so we relived the moment, ordering our signature means. I guess you can say that my weekend turned out to be okay, but seeing my bestie leave the following Monday made me extremely sad.

The Unknown Guy

My first day on the campus, the day of preview. July 8, i met my dream guy in Thad. From the moment I laid eyes on him, there was no question in my mind that he would be mine. He looked to be about 7 foot. He was tall so I knew he had to be on the basketball team. I wanted to know his name, I was determined but too scared to ask him. Days, weeks and even months passed by. I would see this guy in the cafeteria everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner with the rest of his team mates but I didn't know a thing about him. I didn't even know his name, all i knew was the fact that I "thought" he was on the basketball team, he was tall enough to play for the NBA if you ask me. To say the least, I liked him, a lot. He was everything I think I want and even better than my friend. Yet and still, all I had was a physical description, no name or anything. I asked around campus to see if anybody knew of him but of course nobody knew anything.

October 4, 2008, Southern home game was the best day ever. I had no intentions of seeing him becuz i'd never seen him at a football game so I went just for the game, not knowing that my dreams of knowing his name would finally come to reality. The game started out good, my friend Brittany, her little sister Courtney and her sisters friend omeshia went to the game with us. We took pictures,actually watched the game and ate good game food. Soon this all got old and by half time, we were all ready to leave. We all agreed to leave. As we walked down the ramp to the concession stand area, there he was. The best looking 6 foot 9 basketball player i've ever seen in my life. I was in aww, i showed my friend Brittany him and told Courtney that I would buy her a funnel cake if she asked him his name. To make a long story short, I finally found out his name and we text daily. I didn't think it would be this good, I only expected to find out his name but in return got his whole bio. I guess you can say that this was the best day of my whole little life. I hope to get to know him better :-)!

Lover and/or Friends

There's this guy in my life whom I've known since the fourth grade. In the fourth grade, he was the lamest person in the world to me. I thought he was so weak, he would cry and he didn't talk that much. By the fifth grade, he started talking a little more and became more known but he was still known as the guy with asthma who would always get his asthma pump taken. He was popular but not in a good way. By six grade, he was becoming cuter and getting a little more known once the basketball team came out and people noticed his basketball abilities. He could really play. He always liked me but I never liked him back plus the fact that my brother whom he played basketball with every Saturday threatened his life and told him that if he ever tried to talk to me, he would kill him. I know that rather cruel but he was being a big brother. He would always tell my brothers other friend that I was going to be his girlfriend one day but of course I disagreed. We always stayed in touch but strictly on the friend level up until the 11Th grade. We didn't talk much but we would always speak. It wasn't until the 11Th grade that we exchanged numbers again, right after the both of us had broken up with our exes. Our past relationships were both really bad breakups so we kept our distance or at least tried and just talk on the level of friends. He asked me on a date and we started text messing a lot more. The just friends term soon became the potential boyfriend term. I started liking him but not enough to pursue a relationship so I talk to him on occasion but only when I was bored. Right before my eyes, he got another girlfriend, a freshman to our junior. I couldn't believe I let him slip away, too busy being consumed with my ex-relationship to notice that my dream relationship was getting away. By this time, he had everything I ever wanted in a guy. He was now a 6 foot 5 star basketball player on the varsity basketball team, averaging at least 15 points per game. I always knew he had it in him so I was very proud and even more attracted but I was way too late, he already had a girlfriend and was unfortunately committed. Jealous I was but what could I really do when all of this could've been mine but i let it get away and now I must suffer but never too much. Now we're the best of friends but we both know that were attracted to each other as more than friends but we're both scared to date because we don't want to mess up a perfectly good friendship to dating, so now i guess you can say that our status is lovers and friends. Most of the time I want more because I see so much potential with him, he knows me better than any better and I do love him although I will never admit it to him personally. I'm curious to see how a relationship between the two of us will work out but too scared to try. I want to marry this guy one day, he means so much for him and I want the best for him. I won't reveal his name but if he read this, he would instantly know who it's about :-)!

LET ME "REINTRODUCE" MYSELF!

Hello, I am a Southern Girl! Born and raised in Hattiesburg, Ms all of my life. never have I lived in another state or country. To some this my only be a place to attend school but to me this is "home". I love it here and wouldn't change locations if I had to. I guess you can say this is my comfort zone. Mississippi's the most Southern State I know, although I don't feel like it's the "country", many people may disagree. We don't walk around barefooted or only eat chicken. Grant it, we're not that urban but we're getting there and Hattiesburg, Ms is expanding right before my eyes.

I am the middle child of 3 and also the only girl. I have a 10 year old brother as well as a 21 year old brother. I love being the only girl..it's much better this way. I grew up with both parents, not leaving in the same home but both communicating and being great providers. I'm not spoiled, I deserve everything I get. I have a very close family, everybody knows everything about everybody.

I'm a proud graduate of the best high school in town. GO TIGERS! My high school was the best at everything but most of the time didn't show the talent. Our greatest rivals are the Oak Grove Warriors..yuck! It's been this way for some time and we don't even know where it started or whose the cause of any of it but who cares anymore, now it's just a fight for whose the best. High School is my "MOST" missed memory ever, if I could go back and give up everything here, I would.

Well that's a majority of my life, other than that I'm an extremely nice person. I like to shop, hang out with family and friends and meet new friends. I like to learn and be taught. I never think I'm too old to learn something new. I use to consider myself friendly but over the years I've noticed that it's not true! I'm quite and to myself most of the time, i don't really like drama so i try to stay away from it. I've been called "stuck up", conceited, and even arrogant on several occasions but if you ask me, none of that is true. Yeah, i know I'm beautiful and I don't have to be told but i don't take any of that to the head. I might joke about being convinced and all but outside of that, I'm just a laid-back "SOUTHERN-GIRL" who likes to eat, hang out and have fun...LOVE it or HATE it, I'M ME♥!

-HIGH SCHOOL-

My 18th birthday was the most excited day of my life. January 19, 2008 was the day of my best friend Arista and my birthday party. Saturday morning the day of the party, it snowed like it never had before. I was such a beautiful sight. Since we couldn't get a white christmas, we settled for a white birthday party. I got up early this morning with my mom to get balloons and food for the party. The party colors were pink and white since we both had the same favorite colors. The party would be starting at 7 and would be held at the Pomer's Crossing Community Center with the best djay in Hattiesburg. We planned to make a entrance after everybody showed up. We decided to come in on the song Upgrade you by Beyonce'. It went great, we arrived around 9 o'clock and made our entrance. Everybody clapped and was happy to see us. It was so much fun to be around people we loved. Our friends came out to support us as well as family. We danced the night away and even party walked together for the last time. We didnt' have any drama so everything was just great and everything went as planned so there was no one complaining. Our best friend Trey Newsome did the honors of writng and singing a song made just for the two of us. It was so sweet that I cried my eyes out until they were bloodshot red. Our other friend Tore Murphy also sang and my friend Samantha and her friend Alexandria introduced us formally to the crowd. We took pictures by our hired photographer who took pictures for the other party guest as well. The menu for the food consisted of rotel dip, meat balls, mozorilla sticks, sandwhiches, tuna and so much more. We had amazing party favors with 2008 on them and everybody had such a good time. I must say this was one of the best days ever!

MY BESTFRIENDS DEPARTURE FROM HATTIESBUR,MS!

GOODBYE LOUI!


Okay, so normal people reading my blog may say people leave everyday so what's the big deal. Well, let me start by saying I've known her most of my life but never in million years thought we would be as close as we are today. My best friend Laquita Leach and I had been going to church togehter since I started going and we never talked long enough to learned each others name. We were even in the choir togethr but we never spoke to one another. So this is why this story is so touching. Junior year, my bestie found out she was preganant with Jayden. We talked a little more through out the pregnancy but not enough to call each other best friends, associates maybe. So, at the beginning of senior year she was out of school do to the baby. When she came back, we started eating lunch together and talking more. We then started going out every weekend, shopping together and even traveling. By now, I love this girl like my mother birth her, I mean it's different from any other friendship i've ever had because she relates to me more then anybody and she doesn't judge. She helped me become a much better person because I can finally be myself around somebody without being told it's wrong. Okay so now, i'm getting the hang of this new found friendship and loving every minute of it. Some of my very first expirences were spent with her, like going to the club, going fishing with friends and so much more, even traveling by myself so you should understand where i'm coming from. Anyway, close to the end of the summer, i'll say about the end of june, she told me she was moving to Georgia. Of course i thought we had a little more time to spend with each other so I didn't worry too much. So the next week, I found out she would be leaving in two weeks but like any other situation, i didn't believe her. Soon the two weeks were up and we were saying by to each other. She would be leaving me for a little too long and wouldn't be back until Christmas or New years. It hit me hard but she promised we would talk everyday and so did I. I honestly didn't think it would work but it did and it's good for the both of us. We talk every single day, all day. I don't think a day has gone by where we haven't talked. She the frist to know all my business and this all started from what is still unknown to me but I love her so much and wouldn't trade her for anything or anybody no matter how mad she makes me sometimes, she still and will always be my inspiration because she's so strong. No i'm not upset with her lol! I just know that she's here for the long run and my respect level for her is so high. I guess you can say i have the golden ticket lol! We're here to stay and we're going to be best friends forever!

Southern vs. Louisiana Lafeyette

Southern Miss vs. Louisiana Lafayette

Okay so let me start by saying that I am a huge sports fan, no matter the sport as long as I’m rooting for my team. Well last Saturday, August 30 was our first home game vs. Louisiana Lafayette. I was extremely excited like any other time for the whole entire week, I started preparing what I would wear, how I would wear my hair and who I would attend the game with. Friday night was our first pep rally for the season (FNATF); I had intentions of attending until I was asked to go to my high schools first home football game. I accepted the offer of course and I was extremely excited about visiting my high school for the first time. I went to the game and we, well they won 59-7(good game huh??). Still the game ended way too early so I still wanted to do something else so my friends and I decided we would go out somewhere to have some fun. We first we out to this pre-tailgating party at Club Palace. Once we arrived, we noticed no one was there but us. As mad as I was, I just decided to change locations and find somewhere else to go. My friend and I decided to go to the Hunt Club because we really wanted to dance. We arrived at the Hunt Club and there were a few more people there so we stayed, danced a little and just laughed at people until we got tired. When we left the club it was around 1:30 almost 2:00 so I was extremely tired. Once I got back to my dorm room, I instantly feel asleep. I slept until almost 3:00 the next day. Noticing the time, I jumped up and started preparing for the big game in less than 5 hours. I then noticed that I still didn't have an outfit and that I was supposed to go to Wal-mart before my high schools football game to get an outfit. I called my friend to see where she was since I don't have a car and I had no way. After being told that she was on her way, I put on clothes and headed down to meet her. Once she arrived she told me that she parked all the way by Shoney’s and that traffic was backed up and we couldn't get down the highway to get to Wal-mart. Angrily I put an outfit together and walked to the game. By the time I arrived it was 7:50, which means I would have absolutely no where to sit. My friends and I walked to the East side of the Rock all to be told that the students could only sit on the West side because that's the "Student Side". Once again upset, we walked tirelessly to the other side only to find that all the seats where taken and we would have to walk up the ramp or use the stairs to get to the second level (how inconvenient). We walked up the ramp and ended up sitting all the way at the very top closes to the hot sun. Still fun was on its way; we took pictures, cheered and overall had a great time. Suddenly the sky started to cloud up and we noticed it would soon be raining. We waited and watched the game a little longer until the raindrops started falling. Luckily we got to my friends dorm room to get an umbrella before we got too wet. I guess you can say that my first football game as a Southern Miss student was pretty much horrible but I’m sure they'll be better ones to come.

"My Life as a College Freshman"


Well I much say that my first reaction to the college life was "GREAT". I was ecstatic to finally be on my own and to finally do my own thing. It was so exciting to know that there will be no more rules from momma and that everything now lied in my own hands. Move in day, August 16, 2008 was one of the best days of my life. I got to meet wonderful new people and I had the glory of decorating things the way I wanted (seeing as though I was the first to arrive to my dorm room). I unpacked everything, decorated carefully and almost moved every item out of my mother’s house, my bedroom would now be turned into a guest room and my own special touch would now be the touch of my mothers BUT this was still not my problem and I was still more excited then ever. GEWW was nearing at 3 o'clock and I would be surrounded by people like myself (freshmen if you must) to do all sorts of fun activities and even to compete for cool prizes (how fun is that??). Soon I realized that we didn't have to attend the scheduled events if we chose not to. Lucky for me, I chose not to, while most of the other students were out earning a very easy credit, I was wondering getting to know the campus a little better. Little did I know I would miss out on a completely easy credit. To say the least, I regretted every bit of it and wish I could co back but unfortunately I have to live in the present. As the day went by, I grew home sick. It was now time for me to go to bed in a completely different place. I missed home so dearly, I couldn't even sleep that night. Many times the thought of moving back in with momma came across my mind but I soon realized that this was the route I should take to get use to being on my own. With this experience, I will hopefully gain the experience needed to be a more responsible person as well as being the best person I can be; socially, academically and physically. I want to do all around good and I plan to do just that to make everybody proud. I now "Bleed Black and Gold" once again because I know that this is something that needs to be done (SOUTHER MISS...TO THE TOP!!).
