So lately I have been thinking about transferring schools next year. I don't really know where I wanna go yet, but I definitely know that I am not staying in Idaho. What I really want is to go to school in Alabama. Probably Troy University or University of Alabama.
I can't really explain my need for something new, but I do know that I want to be anywhere but Moscow. I have pretty much made up my mind about leaving U of I, but it seems like everyone I know is trying to talk me out of it. I don't know how to say it exactly, but I feel like I'm never going to be able to reach my full potential if I stay in Idaho. I need to go somewhere else, somewhere completely new. Somewhere where nobody knows me. A place where I can be whoever I want, where I can break out of my comfort zone and be the absolute best version of myself.
I'm not scared of change, and I honestly feel like I'm ready for something new--like I need something new. I want it, and you can bet that I'm going to make it happen.

My Five
Ok so I know I’ve totally been slacking on the whole blogging thing. It’s just that I’m reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaallly busy. Seriously, college is super time consuming. Who knew, right? But I guess if we’re being honest here, I have actually had plenty of time to blog, I just forget. Phew, it feels good to get that off my chest.
Anyway I am a regular reader of Sarah Dessen’s blog. She is my all-time favorite author, and thus I am drawing inspiration for my own blog from her. She does this thingy called The Five, which is basically where she just writes about five things that are happening/are going to happen to her. So are yall ready for my Five? Here it goes.
1. I am really genuinely sad that Chris LeDoux is no longer around to grace us with his amazingly insightful and melodic songs. He’s been a favorite singer of mine since I was a wee little tot. He is about as country as it gets. So of course I love him. He appeals to my inner (and outer, I guess) redneck. On my list of Songs to Live and Die By, his songs make up a good half of it.
2. Christmas is coming up like super freakin duper soon, and I have yet to buy a single Christmas present. Does that make me a bad person?? I sure hope not. But what I DO think makes me a bad person is that fact that I have veeeeeeeeeeerrrrry limited funds for Christmas this year because I kinda accidentally on purpose spent a little more money on myself than I should have. Oh the shame!! But alas do not you fret! I have come up with funds AND gift ideas for each member in my family and for my friendlies.
3. Hey yall! Meet my newest celebrity crush, Mr. Ryan Sypek.
He is mighty good lookin, am I right? He acts in the show called Wildfire that I’m a little obsessed with lately. He’s this mightily hot cowboy in it. And as we all know, cowboys are my one true weakness. Isn’t he just irresistible? I do believe so!
4. I am a neurotic list maker now! I seriously make lists for everything. I mean, lists are practical sometimes, but I think I am completely taking it overboard now. Like I have a list of Absurd Life Goals, Television Shows That I Would Like to be a Character In, and all other manner of crazy things.
5. I am so freakin pumped for the NBA to finally start up on Christmas day! Like I honestly could not ask for a better Christmas present. I have been missing my Jazz. October and November were very long and sad months without being able to watch my pro ball. Also, I have very much missed lookin (more like staring, but those are just details) at two very attractive players. Guess who they are! Do you know? Ok, well I’ll tell you! Gordon Hayward and Derek Favors. Mmmmmmmmmm check em out.

That's Pretty Neat
So for all yall who haven't seen the Neature Walk videos on Youtube, I highly recommend them. Like seriously, they are outstanding. I mean, what's better than two completely nerded out guys talking about nature like they know about it? I am a big fan, if you can't tell.
And you wanna know what else is pretty neat? Well, I'll tell you what! Silverwood, that's what! Yes, that's right. I'm going to Silverwood this weekend with a bunch of people from my dorm. I'm pretty pumped. I like seriously love roller coasters. I mean, they scare me, but in a good way. And apparently since it's October, it's gonna be like scary. Which, you know, always makes things more interesting.
Also, my inner shopper made an appearance last night, and I bought three new shirts. And the best part....wait for it. I got all of them for under twenty dollars! So I'm pretty much the best bargain hunter around. Try not to be too jealous.

Not So Bad
So I have officially been at college for four weeks, and it is honestly not so bad. I've met some way cool people and the homesickness is almost zero now. I mean, I still miss Southern Idaho, but things could definitely be a lot worse than they are.
So it is officially the weekend and my roommate is out of town, so I fully intend on binge eating cookie dough and watching One Tree Hill until my eyes hurt. Sounds like a good plan, right? I'm thinking yes.
Also, Bama football tomorrow!! I am so excited!! I love love love my Crimson Tide!!

The Suckage That Is My Life
So I have decided that I am a complete and total idiot!! Seriously, I am so dumb!! Today I read my schedule wrong and I missed my freakin honors class!! I mean, who DOES that? Me, apparently. So of course I tried to email my professor and apologize excessively, but did she email me back? NO, she did not!! And does she most likely hate me? I think YES!! Is she going to kick me out of her class, thus sabotaging my college career? Also a big fat YES!! So pardon me while I go cry and binge eat a whole box of donuts. I have some major sugar therapy to attend to!!

College!!
Today was my first day of college classes, and let me tell ya, it was quite an experience. But for you to get the full effect of my distress, I must start my story from the beginning.
So I woke up this morning and thought I was still at home when, in fact, I was in my rat hole of a dorm room. Then I hurriedly tried to get ready because alas I had slept in 30 minutes too long. When I finally got to my first class just in time, I could not find a seat and was forced to sit next to a kid that I conveniently named Poindexter (I would sure hope that this needs no further explanation). So then I went to my next class, which was a little bit better, but it was English so of course it would be better than any other class. After that, I hiked up to my next and final class, which is Literature. And my professor for that class is a frrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaakkkkkk!!! I seriously doubted his sanity. And while he was semi-hilarious, I think he would be better suited for an insane asylum than he would be for a college classroom.

My Strange Addictions And Other Random Things I Just Realized About Myself
While being oh so sadly cooped up in my extremely tiny dorm room for the last couple of days I have had an abundance of time to contemplate the strange inner workings of myself. And while this sounds like a very depressing existance to most people (or to everyone), I would like to share what I have learned in my quest for self discovery (ha super cheesy!).
1) I am completely addicted to blogging. I guess blogging is kind of like meth. Not even once, right?
2) I have some completely weird aversion to actually using money. I'm like a hoarder. I keep everything I make!!
3) I am musically bipolar. I'm super into all of the popular stuff, but I also cannot get enough of classical, eighties, and seventies music. And let's not forget that my true melodic love is that boot tappin, good time, redneck country music!
4) I love those Nature Valley Oats n' Honey granola bars. I swear I would eat them for every meal if there weren't always the chance that I would get some weirdo disease like rickets or scurvy by doing so.
5) I am completely deficient of Skype skills. I was trying to talk to my brother and sister last night, and I could not figure out how to turn on that pesky microphone!! It honest to goodness took me like 15 minutes to figure it out. And yes, you may point and laugh at this time.
6) I may or may not be developing some strange disease. Unless it's totally normal for my hair to fall out at an accelerated rate, to never be hungry, and to sleep more than any human ever should. But I guess if I randomly drop dead yall will know why. Hehe
7) I am absolutely crazy!! Because no sane person would ever make a pact with themself to walk up twenty flights of stairs to get to their room every single day when there is a perfectly functional elevator present. But alas I have indeed done this very thing, so I am obviously not in my right mind.
8) I have this completely irrational desire to sit on the top of a water tower. Now some of you may be wondering how in the world I came to this conclusion, but do not fret for I will tell you. You see, there is this water tower in clear view from my dorm room, and yesterday I happened to glance up and see it. And of course that got me thinking that I would really love to sit on the little walkway thingy at the top of it.
9) I tend to stress over things that, in all honesty, do not matter in the least. For example, just the other day I was fretting hardcore about making my bed. Yes, I am totally aware that the current state of my bedding is really not significant, but I had a minor meltdown while thinking about when I was going to have time to make it. Hmmm I wonder if this makes me obsessive compulsive or something. I'm leaning toward yes.
10) Toenails are oooooogggglllyyyy!! There is definitely a reason that nail polish was invented. Cover up those nasty thangs!! My philosophy on nail polish is this: Buy it, use it, embrace it, love it!!
