Welcome to my first blog post written in the "Compose" section instead of the "HTML" section. This just means it's a lot less complicated for me to write and make posts which could potentially mean I will blog more often! I really have been having an awesome time in St. Louis so far and will eventually get to posts about that, but right now I want to do a list of the concerts I saw in the past year...I've been reflecting on my Senior year of college quite a bit and want to document all the cool things I got to do.
Concerts since last July:
-Waka Flocka Flame (Kansas City)
-Mat Kearney (St. Louis)
-Chris Brown (St. Louis)
-Ben Rector (Columbia)
-Dr. Dog (Columbia)
I think that is all the concerts I went to...Maybe it felt like more than it actually was...but it was an amazing range of music!
Places I went:
-Chicago for my birthday weekend, got to stay with my cousins Rima and Kira at their cool apartment. We went to Second City comedy (hilarious) and did lots of shopping! (my cousins surprised me with a wallet i said i loved from Urban!)
-L.A. and San Diego with my dad where I got to go on a bus tour of L.A., meet RYAN GOSLING, and relax in the beautiful San Diego.
-Honduras!! Rounding out college with the best experience of my LIFE was the best decision I ever made. I only decided to go about 2 months before the trip! Now when I look back on the trip, all I can say is "WAS THAT REAL?! did I really go there? Did I really meet all those people?" It just doesn't seem real. I hope I get to go back one day...
-Minnesota. Okay not exciting but it really was considering my best friend was pregnant throughout these months and every time I went home, I got to see her belly grow. AND over New Year's, I experienced my first "going out in the cities"....it was pretty fun!!
In the next year I plan to go back to Austin to visit my sister and hopefully squeeze a trip in to Colorado! My parents and I have been meaning to go for awhile.
All in all, Senior year was a fabulous year--the best year yet in fact. I got to live in an amazing house with amazing roommates who taught me sooo much and became like sisters to me. I got to take only 12 hours each semester where 2nd semester I only had classes on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Oh yeah! and to update you on my "Senior year goal"...I challenged myself to read the Harry Potter series (7 books) during Senior year. I had to extend the deadline to an actual year (so i have this summer to finish the 6th and 7th)....but basically I am workin through it..still goin strong and proud of myself. My next goal is to learn the Ukelele. Having "goals" or hobbies to fall back on when you're bored is always a good thing.
So that's my senior year in a nutshell. I'd say I'm pretty blessed.
