-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.
