COLLEGE>HIGH SCHOOL

i dont think i have ever expressed how much i truly love college. i mean yea i miss my friends and family but i have made some pretty amazing friends here as well. the only thing that is so not cool about college is that you actually have to study. in high school all u had to do was attend classes, do ur homework (most the time no one did either of those anyway), take the test (so we kinda were forced to do those), and make somewat of an effort to pass the class (and everyone did cause u were in high school), but college u pull all nighters studyin for that test u have thats gonna b a beast. i mean 100 questions timed with 10 essays or somethin crazy like that then when u go to take it it either kicks u in the butt or its not as hard as u thought it would b. either way u got like 3 hours of sleep and u r SO tired! but thats really the only downfall of college. i feel like some of the upsides of college should not really be mentioned on the internet (if my mom looked this up and saw some of them she would bring me home ASAP) so i will just leave it at the amazing friends and awesome memories.

you walk in and its a big room with a lot of art all over the wall. the doors open and people head in to sit down looking toward the stage. chairs lined in perfect rows across the stage and u know from that point that u r going to b there a while. the door to the side opens and they all file out to sit and perform.

just in case u didnt catch on... i went to bryan fine arts building to watch a performance. my best friend is a senior this year and she is in the horn choir. they had a performance and she asked me if i would come and support her. with her being my best friend i couldnt even think about looking at her and telling her no. so even though im not big into the whole music genres that do not have words (my music has to have words for me to like it or pay attention to it) i went anyway. it wasnt as bad as i had planned. they had some songs that were upbeat and very enjoyable but they also had some that were slower and longer and lost my attention after a while. i wanted to stay and talk to her afterwards but i had to register that night so of course i couldnt.

Service Fair

i went to a service fair earlier this year and I'm just now getting around to writing about it. when my friend mentioned something about going i was so not into going but when i went how i felt about it completely changed. you walk in and tables are set up everywhere with representatives sitting right beside them to tell u all about what it is they do or what you would be doing to help. any questions or concerns about anything, they were very eager to answer. they didn't pressure you to sign up to volunteer or anything but the way they talked about it made u wanna sign up just to help out. all together i am really glad i went. i signed up to help a local hospice place here in Cookeville and when i get a chance to help out i will. everyone should go and at least experience this if nothing else.

Multi-Cultural Event

so i went to this multi-cultural event and it was horrible! i had to force myself to stay there as long as i did. it was slide shows of different cultures and some clips with one of those monotoned voices telling you all about it. it was kinda like history class with the way the movies were set up. the only thing i REALLY liked about it was the food :). i could not tell u what exactly it was that i ate but it was chicken and somethin or another. ha im honestly not 100% positive what it was. i am more of a thrill seeker and i would do anything to have fun. if i could i would totally jump out of a plane, so goin to an event like this kinda killed me. i left before the event was over but i left on a full stomach so i cant complain too much :)!

Section 4 readings

As I sat down to read this last night, I once again fell asleep. I have no idea why I do that except that it bores me and I force myself to sit there and read it till I am done... but never imagined falling asleep. So this morning, I woke up, went to class, ate with a friend, came back to my room, and started to read where I left off at. It was yet another failed attempt. BUT NO WORRIES! I finally got them done and now I am writing this :). Okay so, I think reading those stories and details/ tips on how to make a good review really helped me. Yea it took me a while to actually be able to read them all but once I got them done, I'm kind of glad I read them. They gave me more of a understanding on my job as a writer for my next paper that is due.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

wow... i really have no idea what to say bout this show... it was so freakin awesome!!! it was fun and amazing!!! to be honest, before i heard about it here on tech i had never heard of this show before... i had no idea what i was getting myself into and no one really wanted to warn me cause they thought it was funny... i went with my best friend and she had never seen it before either but she knew kind of what she was getting into and throughout the entire movie she was laughin at me. raised in a christian school and going to that really made an impression lol. not a bad one just something i have never really been experienced before in my life. would i do it again? HELL YES I WOULD!!! it was wonderful and i loved it very very much. The people who acted it out are winners at life because that took a lot of nerve to get up there and act out some of those scenes that were shown in the movie. especially the guy who played Rocky... it had to take a lot of nerve to get up there and dress like that in front of so many people. if the show goes on again next year u better place money imma b there if at all possible!!!

Reading Over Homeless On Campus

This piece kept my attention. I really liked it. It's really sad to hear of people who have to live in the streets for whatever reason and it's awesome to hear of people who are willing to help. Of course there are shelters and things that can help out but with so many people out and about on the streets looking for shelter it's never promised that you will have a place to go. I mean some shelters probably fill up really quick and finding one that isn't full has got to be hard. Toward the end it talks of the teacher who is identified as B.R. I think that what she did was amazing and moving! She didn't have to care for the students that much but the fact that she did said so much for her. This story all together was very interesting and I personally liked it!
