Weekend Sum Up

Another weekend flew by for me! I seriously don't know how it's possible for time to fly by so fast! Friday night my sorority had a "My Tie" social which turned out to be a lot of fun! We were paired up with another fraternity who all placed their ties in a bowl. The girls randomly pick out a tie and wait for the guy to find his tie date for the night. Saturday was spent catching up on homework and marking things off of the to-do list! My neighbor had a bonfire as the sun was setting and that turned out to be a blast! I called it an early night to wake up early for initiation this morning. Sadly, I have no pictures to share from this weekend. Call me crazy but I honestly don't think our leaves have changed here in Greenville until recently. The time has come though and our tree's are GORGEOUS! I absolutely love driving with the windows down and a gorgeous view.

This will be a busy week for me trying to get everything done before Thanksgiving break! I can't believe how close it is to turkey day! I will be making a trip to Alabama to visit family this year and couldn't be more excited.

On another note- I meant to post this video last week and forgot.

You have to watch these precious kids! The little boys at the very end are my favorite.

I hope you all had a nice weekend!

Classroom Inspiration

Half way through the week! Wednesday's always seem promising that the week is indeed going by and the weekend will be here before you know it! We don't have a football game this weekend and I actually have no idea what I will be getting into. I've had a horrible sinus infection all week and if it doesn't get better I will be doing a whole lot of nothing. I've been a horrible poster on Tuesday's because that is my internship day. I haven't quite figured out a good schedule that allows free time for this. I always leave my internship in "classroom mode." With that being said here are some of my favorite pinterest finds to one day use as a teacher!

First, this is me yesterday before my internship.

I decided I'm in the right profession because it's entirely

okay for me to wear bubblegum pink pants and a lime green scarf!

western theme!

Jamie at this kind of love- This reminded me of you when you

were setting up your pirate theme class this summer! 

Senior freakout Ramblings

I don't know what it is about senior year but it has sent me into a whirlwind of emotions. As we near the end of the semester I can't help but think/worry/get excited/then worry more about this so called "real life" idea that I am trying to avoid. When the year started in August I told myself I needed to make the absolute most of it, never letting an opportunity pass me by. I have certainly done just that and looking back on these three months I'm so glad. I have met more people, gotten closer with friends, visited new places, and developed a new outlook on life. As happy as that makes me, the whirlwind starts here too- It's November, two months that are interrupted with Thanksgiving and Christmas break until this semester is entirely over. Next semester my lifestyle will go from student with a one day a week internship, to teacher with a full time internship. Yes, I'm excited for that! But I know that, that also means May will be here in the blink of an eye. Looking back on college is so bittersweet. When my professors ask me if I'm excited for graduation I look at them like they are crazy.. um no! I'm scared and don't think I'm ready. On the same note I look back at all the things college/senior year has taught me, and have decided maybe I am more ready than I give myself credit for. This year I have learned the importance of being kind to others.

I have leaned that life is what YOU make of it.

I have learned the importance of living an honest life.

I've learned that life doesn't always go as planned. Everyday

isn't rainbows and butterflies, but it is up to you to find the

good in a situation and make the most of it.

and lastly I've learned..

Who knows where I will be in the spring/summer. What I do know is that I will carry these life lessons with me wherever I am.
