Chapter Thirty-Five: Moving In

It is almost midnight, and here I am, blogging.
Honestly, I think I have too much adrenaline to really wind down for awhile.
This morning started off with heavy rain, which was oddly appropriate for my departure. I said goodbye to the room that I have called my own for 10 years. I said goodbye to my guinea pig. I said goodbye to Jack. I said goodbye to our house.

:(

The trip seemed long, but before I knew it, I was directing my dad on to campus. New students were taking pictures by the entrance, carts full of boxes were being rolled towards resident halls. This was it. My new home. 
Bailey, one of my suitemates (remember her??) moved in yesterday, so her stuff was pretty much put away. When I arrived, the floor was covered with building instructions and pieces of wood and nails. Kylie, my other suitemate, and her parents were unpacking and adjusting! This was the first time I had met Kylie, and I think we will get along just fine! 
My parents went and grabbed my stuff while I unpacked and organized whatever was in front of me. I. Love. Organizing. Secretly, I loved doing this. 
We kept unpacking and organizing and unpacking until finally, at 7:30, we thought dinner would be a good idea. I was so driven by my desire to organize that I completely forgot about eating. Of course, I was super grumpy, and that is always a sign that I need food....

FEED ME!

I would say I'm officially moved into my dorm, but I still have quite a few things to buy/unpack. Yes! Can you believe it?? After I made up that long, long list I thought I had thought of everything. Sigh. Oh well!
I'm so, so excited to be here.
This is going to sound crazy, but my dorm is even SMALLER than I thought it would be!

Expectations are shown in the upper left, where as my reality is displayed in the other corners

Yes, it's cramped, but I think we can make this work. However, this whole moving thing is taking a lot more time and energy than I thought it would. I'm absolutely pooped! 
I will totally keep you guys updated and take pictures of my dorm once it's all decorated and cute!

      Yes! I am so happy about all the food that is offered on campus...quite a variety. Some of my favorite places are right across the street, too!
      I will most definitely have fun! :)

Chapter Thirty-Four: What to Pack for College....Sarah Edition!

Image
Well, this is it. Tomorrow is the day I move into my dorm. The absolute first post in this blog was all about how excited I was to begin my life and see the world in a new and different way. I'm now on the brink of experiencing my dream...and I'm absolutely terrified . I'm actually shaking as I type this. I've read countless blogs and pinterest posts about moving in and they all say the same thing: "You're going to cry. A lot." I've already done a lot of that and I haven't even moved out yet. Ugh. Anyway, I've been packing for college for a good couple of months, and I have kept track of it all. I've done this for a number of reasons: I need to know what I should be returning home with I need to know what I didn't use didn't need after all so I can pack better next time I wanted to compose a list for you There are countless other "What to Pack for College" lists out there, so mine will probably be no differe

Chapter Three: Luke and the Half-Priced Frappe

Image
Last night, in the midst of my depression over the AP Chemistry test (see Chapter Two: The Whole Story) I get a SnapChat from a good friend of mine, Luke. ZOMG STARBUCKS! For those of you who do not know, Luke and I are both perfect examples of white girls. So, naturally, we love Starbucks. What really got us excited was that, currently (May 1-10, 2014) from 3:00-5:00 pm, all frappes at Starbucks are half-priced! So of course we decided to to go to Starbucks ASAP. (Which meant today)  Now, the only potential problem with this plan was that our school lets out at 4:15 pm, and the traffic after school is TERRIBLE. Especially today, because all those seniors who couldn't have senior out today (we had a messed up schedule due to state testing) wanted to get out of the parking lot as soon as possible. So even after I sprinted to my truck, the line for exiting the parking lot was already huge and crowded.  The normal amount of traffic in the school parking lot. Fearful

Chapter One: When Will My Life Begin?

Image
Usually fun and adventurous stories start off with a heart-pounding, action-packed, swash-buckling  beginning. Not this one though. Because this is the story of little, ordinary me. And, unlike other stories, this isn't the beginning. This is almost the prequel to a story that might not even happen; a path created that leads to a road still being built. Because this is the story of little, ordinary me. This is a story of a college freshman. Well...sort of. I'm not a freshman in college yet . I will be though...very soon. I only have 33 days left until I am out of public high school. Of course, I will miss a lot of aspects of being in high school: my friends, the easy grades, the impressive teachers....but at this point (which I am sure many high school seniors are feeling) I am ready to GET. OUT. I am ready to begin my life .   Here is Rapunzel, from the Disney movie Tangled , painting her image of the world outside of the walls of her tower. This. Is. How. I. Feel. No, my
