I recently went through a pretty big change in my life regarding my relationship status and that has been going how one would expect it to go I suppose. There may be times when I feel like it's time for a pity party but I look around and all I have to do is check my freaking email to remind myself that life is still continuing. I have great friends and an endless amount of opportunities.
Speaking of opportunities, I recently joined about a million organizations. I joined dance club, Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), Her Campus (a national organization of women writing about life on campus), Phi Sigma Pi (an honors fraternity. Okay I'm not officially a part of this yet but I was invited to go through recruitment this upcoming week), and I was recently offered a position on the marketing team for Campus Activities Board or CAB! My first meeting with the marketing team is tomorrow and I am so excited to see all of the great parts of the organization, I am ecstatic. CAB is the organization on campus that runs pretty much all activities such as movie nights and concerts/shows like Kevin Hart! Receiving news of this definitely made my Friday.
One of my most recent adventures was my journey to Ames with my two friends, Molly and Clancy! We departed on Friday and sang the whole two hours to our friends' apartment. Morgan and Al have the coolest place with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. I just wanted everyone to know how impressed I was with the college life they lead. Ames is actually quite different from life here in Iowa City. The campus is absolutely GORGEOUS and the people are really cool and down to earth. Here is the timeline of events:
7 pm Friday Night-Arrive at the apartment of AllyPal and LaneyDoo.
10 pm Friday-Enter house party.
Within two minutes of arrival at said party, "Photograph" by Nickelback begins to play and this happens....
8 am Saturday morning-WAKE UP HAWK FANS! A wake up call complete with specially-made Molly Vipond love.
11 am-Off to the "Haunted Forest" to tailgate. We started at Al and Morgan's roommate's family tailgate and then went off to a student tailgate that was BUMPIN'. I'm still new to the whole tailgating thing so any place with loud music and lots of people seems "BUMPIN'" to me:)
4 pm-Back home to get ready for another night on the town.
Shout-out to Al and Laney for being such lovely hosts and letting us crash for the weekend! Throughout the whole weekend I just kept having moments of looking around and thinking, "these are some of the happiest moments of my life." I have such great friends who constantly make my side and cheek ache from the amount of laughter produced. I am so lucky for the times I am able to have with the greatest people in the whole world.
My other recent adventure was a lovely little lunch date with two of my favorite girls! As much as I adore these two and our sweet times together, this portion is saved for the amazing meal consumed at Atlas. Maybe it was just eating outside, or maybe it was the lack of solid meals I've had recently, but this food was incredible and I haven't stopped thinking about it all day. I ordered a falafel black bean burger with fries-HALLELUJAH. If you know me, I absolutely hate hamburgers but I love myself some falafel so I thought I would give it a try. This is one of those times where your English teacher would ask, "what do you think her decision to try something new and liking it symbolized?" That was so cheesy, I am so sorry. As great as the food was, let's not down-play the cuteness of the faces in the photo!
Well I just wanted to let my mom know I was alive via blog post. Life is giving me reasons to smile, and I'm going to continue seeking out those reasons. Have a great week and go hawks!
