Chapter Fifty-Three: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! It's yours truly, Sarah, blogging on Halloween night. Sigh. Where did the time go? I remember dressing up as Tigger and getting loads of candy that was never eaten..
Oh well...Blogging is what I love!
So, let's get started!

This past weekend was full of sleep...and lots of it. I think I broke my record and slept well over 14 hours. College really screws up your schedules...eating, sleeping...all of it.
Anyway, Monday was, well, Monday. Lately I've been craving Disney movies like no other; particularly The Princess and The Frog, Sleeping Beauty, and Peter Pan. Well, one of the cool things about the Texas Tech library (other than the multitude of resources, of course) is the multimedia center. AKA, movies. Disney movies. So guess what I did???? I checked them out!

I wanted to wait until the weekend....but I'm just a tall 7 year old and watched The Princess and The Frog and Sleeping Beauty that day. Yes I had homework to do. Yes I could have blogged. But...Disney gave me happiness and that really matters! 
Tuesday was more interesting. Women of Faith and Righteous Dudes combined forces to paint baby pumpkins to donate to the local children's hospital. It was so fun for all four of us, and for a great cause.

Us and our pumpkins!

Everyone who helped out!!

We had to leave early, though, because we had to be back in time for the Door Decorating Contest! It looked awesome! We had scary music with it and everything! 

Our ever-impressive door!

Proud Parents

Our room mascot, Steve the Skeleton

Unfortunately, our door was...disqualified. Yes, you read that right. Disqualified. 
Apparently, we are are supposed to have 1/3 of the door uncovered, so it's not a fire hazard. (Personally, I think the wooden door would burst into flame covered or not, but I don't make the rules around here...) You can say we were a little bitter. 
Nonetheless, our door looked great for the event happening the next night, Tech or Treat! Tech or Treat is an event where local children have the opportunity to safely trick or treat and participate in fun activities! It was so fun to see the cute kids in costume and put a sweet smile on their faces with our candy. And we had a good time dressing up, too.

As great as our door looked, the webbing was quite annoying to deal with every day (We've had it up for a month)....unfortunately, it was a lot harder to take down than put up....

Caught in the Webs of Lies and Deceit

Throughout the week, I had several advising appointments. I told my Pre-Professional advisor I was considering changing my major from Pre-Pharmacy to....Multidisciplinary Studies! Don't bother Googling it, I'll tell you....it's within the College of Education. 
Education. 
Yeah, I'm surprised, too.  
Lately, I've been going through what many call a "mid-freshman crisis." This is completely normal for freshman, since college is full of new people, ideas, majors, freedom... I've been growing closer and closer to God everyday and am learning to do something very important: listen. And right now, I feel called towards education. We will see!    
Today, my roommates and I didn't do anything too special. We went to Starbucks, since grande frappuccinos were $3 after 2PM today. We had Raising Cane's for dinner, and then headed back to our dorm. We stayed in, put our mattresses in the common room, and had a fun movie night. Just us girls. Talk about a fun Halloween!

Frappes

Fun. Fun. Fun.

This week was so fun! I'm feeling more at peace with my major change...and better in general because Thanksgiving is almost here! I can't wait to come home! 
That's all for now...I think I'll dedicate a blog post just about my major change, just so we can be on the same page (and I can get some of this off of my chest). 
Anyway...I hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween!

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. Fea...

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...
