One more thing

I also thought that I would tell you guys that my roommate and best friend Madison also has a blog! She's pretty cool too! You should go read it: madisonjfuller.blogspot.com :)

Holy Cow!

Holy Cow! Where in the world did January and February go?!?!?!? It seriously seems like yesterday I was in Ash Flat celebrating the new year. I always thought older people had no idea what they were talking about when they said the older you get the faster time goes by. Its totally true. I can't believe that on the 12th of March I will have lived in Fayetteville for 7 months! That is completely crazy.

Tomorrow is March! I am so excited for March! Spring break is only in 3 weeks! Praise the Lord! I am in need of a break! All of these early mornings and class is killing me! So I will be so happy when it is 11:20am on March 16th. That's the beginning of Spring Break 2012!

Just a little fact about me: I LOVE FREE STUFF! I cannot even remember all of the free stuff I have collected over the past 7 months. (Now they call it free but I am sure they hid it somewhere in our $1000 worth of "fees.") But that is beside the point! Today in the Union I picked up this cute little T-shirt for "free".

The back of the shirt! :)

My friend Morgan and I each got a shirt, M&Ms, Cokes, and pizza all for free! We enjoyed it out on the patio of the Union. It was such a beautiful day here today! I feel like God has been spoiling us all throughout February with this perfect weather! I am so thankful! 

I snapped this picture on my way to class today as I was walking across Old Main Lawn. :)

I loved having two classes in there last semester! 

I hope everyone has had a Fantastic February and has a Magnificent March! :)

Best Day Ever

My Tuesdays and Thursdays always start before the sun comes up. I work the opening shift at work which requires me to get out of bed at 5:00am. But, the bright side of waking up so early is that I am off work by 9:00am which is really awesome! As I was about to hike (literally hike...I don't know if you have seen the hills in Fayetteville but take my word for it when I say they are ridiculous) up the hill to class to Physics & Human Affairs (which is my least favorite class of all time, but I have to have it to graduate and that is my ultimate goal so I am stuck in there) I got an email from my teacher saying that he was sick therefore class was canceled! OMG! Hallelujah! I was so excited! Its only 9:00am and this is the best day ever. Then I realized that it is 9:00am and I am finished with everything I have to do for the day! and to top it off it is the most beautiful day in Northwest Arkansas today! It is 57 degrees already and the sun is out and there isn't a single cloud in the sky! I tried to take a picture but none of the pictures did it justice! Just take my word for it when I say that its absolutely gorgeous!

Another thing that always happens on Tuesdays and Thurdays is that I get finished with work and class before Madison even gets out of bed. Our schedules are completely opposite. I am done at 11:00 and she doesn't start class until 1:30! I am so jealous that she gets to sleep in all of the time but I am so glad to be done so early! I snapped this little picture of here a little bit ago. She is still sound asleep in the bunk right above me. She doesn't even know that I am in here.

Sleeping Beauty :)

And I just think this is hilarious! Madison sent me this yesterday! 

I love it! Finding Nemo is one of my all time favorites! 

Yes I know I'm a little kid but I still laugh just as hard every single time I watch that movie. 

My Aunt is going to be in Fayetteville today and I can't wait to see her! I haven't seen her since Christmas! I also think I will take advantage of this weather and go running today! I am in the process of training for a half marathon. I know I'm crazy but I think I will feel so accomplished after completing it. It isn't until the middle of April so I will keep you posted. My goal is just to make it across the finish line. I want to run as much of it as possible but there are some pretty killer hills on the route. They kick your butt every time. :)

Thought I would share this too! I got it from a girl off of twitter 

but I just think it is so beautiful and captures the beauty of the UofA. 

I bet my school is prettier than yours! I love it! 

That is all for this post! I hope your day is going as well as mine!

How Could I Ever Ask For More

So lately I have been feeling overwhelmingly thankful and simply blessed.

I am so thankful that God has lead me to where I am right now in life. I LOVE college and I LOVE Fayetteville! {My computer (Hewey) just flashed up a box saying plug me in now or he would be powering off soon! Scary} Anyways, I love every single thing about Fayetteville! I love the beautiful scenery, the lack of rednecks, the assortment of restaurants, the diversity, and of course the GORGEOUS University of Arkansas Campus and the Hogs! I am taken back everyday by Gods work.

I am also so very thankful for all of the wonderful people in my life right now. I am so happy to be rooming with my best friend Madison {and yes it has been nearly 7 months and we still are best friends}. We have made so many memories together in our 100 sq/ft room. I wish everyone could be a fly on the wall sometimes because there are some pretty hilarious things that happen in these walls. Like this.....

Like the time when we tried to roast Peeps with a hairdryer.(No candles or open flame is aloud in our dorm)

and when we got rejuvenating mask and decided to have a photo shoot

I am also thankful that Adam and I are attending the same university and get to spend so much time together! I love being able to cook at his apartment and escape nasty cafeteria food. I love going on little dates and just in general being with him everyday. We were two of the top 100 students who have attended the most sporting events this year. Out of a campus of over 23,000. We have been to football games, basketball games (men & women), baseball, volleyball, soccer (man was that confusing), swimming and diving, and last week we went to a gymnastics meet! We both got to go home last weekend to see our families! I love both of our families dearly. I wish that we could go see them more often. I am so happy to have an amazing family! I miss them everyday! But I look forward to going home to see them whenever I get a chance. I love them all so much! 

This is us at the baseball game last week! So happy for warmer weather! 

I am also thankful for finding a church that I enjoy attending each Sunday. Before I moved to Fayetteville I was worried about finding a church where I felt comfortable but I feel like Cross Church Fayetteville is where I am suppose to be. I was also able to get involved in a small group through the church with other college girls and several of my friends. It reminds me of my Wednesday night church group from home. I look forward to go every Thursday night! It is a nice relief and escape from the stresses of school.

A few days after I moved into my dorm I met Sydney D. She is one of my best friends and I hope we remain friends forever. She is a great Christian example and the kind of friend that anyone would die to have.  I feel so thankful that God crossed our paths. I feel like He strategically placed Sydney in my life for a multitude of reasons.

I am also thankful for my job. I work at the HPER (the recreational facility on campus) and I absolutely love it. It is not a stressful job at all. My daily duties consist of showing up, sitting at a desk with a computer and scan patrons ID cards. So easy. A big bonus of having this job is that it is right next to my dorm and I get to work on my homework while I am at work! I basically get paid to do my homework! Its amazing! 

I am also incredibly thankful that the good Lord has spared us of a brutally cold winter! I can only remember a handful of days that were really chilly. I was so sad when it snowed a couple weeks ago and the University still had classes. :( Madison and I decided we weren't in Sharp County anymore where the back roads could keep you out of school for a week. They pre-treat the roads and sidewalks here. I know...crazy right. 

Old Main is even more beautiful covered in white. :)

This is just how I have been feeling the past few days. Simply thankful. Thankful for life and all the things I have going on in it right now. I hope everyone is having a fantastic week! 

Thanks for reading my blog! I hope it isn't too boring and I hope you are uplifted by it. :)

Have a great day! 

Dorm Life

This post is completely dedicated to funny and annoying things that happen in Pomfret Honors Quarters. 

• Annoying: The girls in the room next to us who feel the need to be extremely loud at 3:00am.
• Funny: living in the honors dorm where nerds correct all grammatical errors on flyers and signs
  Example: 

                                               

Background information: There is a girl who lives down the hallway from us and we refer to her as "Free Willy" because when I was moving in she had a shirt with Free Willy on it and the name just kind of stuck. Anyway...she is slightly awkward, and she has almost ran over Madison and I multiple times.

• Annoying: Free Willy running....everywhere, all the time. She runs to her room. She runs to the elevator. She runs to the bathroom. She runs into you. And since the walls are paper thin you can hear Free Willy running down the hallway. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

So in the middle of writing this the fire alarm went off! That is another annoying thing about living in the dorm; fire alarms that go off at 1:30am. This is like the 938493820893595th time that the fire alarms have gone off in Pomfret this year. Madison and I can recite the message that comes over the intercom. "beep, beep, beep....beep, beep, beep...Attention, Attention, and emergency has been reported in this building. Please cease operations and leave the building utilizing the nearest exit or fire exit." So I decided out of the blue to video this experience and I am glad I did. We walk out in the hall and Free Willy is wearing a CAPE! OMG is was sooooooo funny! I cannot even begin to explain how funny it was! You can just watch the video if you would like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EHbaQlHzZ0&context=C3e74962ADOEgsToPDskLYJqE5bpiETXjgsytYF1Bx

Then after we composed ourselves we sat on the rock out in front of Pomfret that we always sit on during fire drills. 

Then we remembered that it was the weekend and that meant that Lola Corolla {Madison's Car} was close by! So we decided to drive around because it was cold. We also documented this little adventure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWZXcewdog0&context=C3e74962ADOEgsToPDskLYJqE5bpiETXjgsytYF1Bx

So needless to say we ended up at McDonald's....along with a million other people from Pomfret. 

• Funny: When we came back from the fire alarm there were two guys in what is called the Pomfret Great Room {really just a big room on the first floor of our dorm}. One of the guys was riding a Rip Stick and the other was riding a Razor Scooter. It was pretty funny. 
• Not Funny Just Gross: the Pomfreteria {the cafeteria in our dorm}. The food {if it can even be considered real food} is disgusting. I have had more cereal since I moved to college than I have in my entire life. 
• Annoying: when people from the second floor ride the elevator! We live on the 8th floor people! That is a long elevator ride even if you are the only one on it! Use the stairs! 
• Annoying: when people don't take their clothes out of the washer/dryer. I am not your mother and it is not my responsibility to switch your clothes from the washer to the dryer! 
• LOVE: the Pomfret bus driver. He is this sweet old man who drives the bus that takes us to the top of the hill. He always has a little piece of advice everyday! When I am old I hope to be like him! 

That is all I can seem to think of right now but when something else comes up I will blog about it! 

Peace and blessings! 

Freshman Year

Tonight I decided that I should make a blog. I honestly don't care if anyone reads it. {I know I have one reader. She resides on the top bunk in room 813} I just want to be able to look back and remember all of the great memories I have been making since I moved to Fayetteville in August.

The last 6 1/2 months have flown by and they have been an absolute blast! From Razorback Football Games to having spa nights in our dorm room and taking pictures with Beanee Weenees there have been numerous memories made in a very short time.

Here are some pictures from the past 6 months:
