What Are You Thankful For?

I don't know about you guys, but I AM SO EXCITED FOR THANKSGIVING!! I have literally been waiting for Thanksgiving Break and the actual holiday since Fall Break ended. Thanksgiving is my 2nd favorite holiday right after Christmas, which I am even more excited about! And don't even get me started on the food. Oh my word! My mouth is watering just thinking about my granny's cornbread dressing/stuffing with cranberry sauce😍 Honestly, it's not a true Thanksgiving if you don't take a nap after your first plate, so you can replenish your energy for a second plate. Can I get an Amen?

Okay enough blabbering about how excited I am. Besides the obviously glorious food that we consume on this glorious occasion, I want to take the time to recognize what things I am thankful for in this current year of 2017. You guys know me. I love making lists--hit me up if you need me to write up a grocery or packing list for you😜--so of course I made a list of things I am thankful for.

So without further ado...

Life Update+It's Almost Thanksgiving| November

Hey Classy Crew!! Happy HUMP day!! lol🤣 I hope you've had a good week so far! 

Alright, I'm going to be honest. I totally wanted to upload a blog post today about the pros and cons of taking 8ams in college, but I couldn't quite convince my brain to work properly right now. All I really want to do is lay down and watch a movie. BUT...I won't do that. Or at least I won't do that right now. I promised a blog post today, so I'm going to give you guys one! So today's post is going to be chill because I just want to share with you guys what I've been up to lately😊.

6 Tips For Living With Someone For the 1st Time |college

College is a time characterized by a lot of firsts. First time living away from home (unless you live at home and commute to school). First time showering in a community bathroom. First time taking the necessary steps to pursue your future career. And even first time living with someone who is not your sibling. 

I have a little sister and we used to room together when we were younger, but I've never roomed with someone longer than a week. I understand living with a complete stranger can being extremely intimidating because number one, you don't know them as who they truly are as a person and number two, you don't know if you two or three will get along. Luckily, I was able to room with my friend from middle school, so I had a sense of peace rooming with a familiar face, but I was still nervous deep down because we went to completely different high schools and hadn't seen each other in four years. Four years is a LONG TIME!!! A person can change a lot in four years, whether it be for better or for worse. Again, I'm not bragging but I consider myself super lucky to have Tara as my roommate and she and I get a long very well. But for those of you who are anxiety-ridden with the anticipation of meeting your roommate during move-in day or have already found disparities with your roommate currently, here are some tips to help you conquer your fears or keep you from pulling your hairs out.

Passion Story of the Month| October

happy fall y'all! (oh man, it feels so weird saying y'all! i don't know why!? I'm from the South, so you would think the word would be in my daily vocabulary, right? wrong! I actually don't like saying y'all. I say you guys instead. don't ask me why, i just do but for the purpose of the quote and rhyming, I had to type the dreaded "y'all". never again tho😅😆.) 

anyways, I am so excited that it is finally feeling like fall here in the South. I have been waiting impatiently for the opportunity to drink hot chocolate and not break into a sweat on the way to my classes. tbh, I love fall not only for the colorful leaves, but it is so much easier to dress for. all I have to do is throw on a sweater, jeans, and a pair of boots and I instantly look cute & put together for class. what's not love?

okay. okay. enough blabbering about fall! the real reason why I am excited about this post is because it's my FIRST EVER PASSION STORY ENTRY!!!!!🎊🎊🎊 

Today's Passion Story is about MacKenzie Wilson!! She is the Co-Founder and Creative Director for Delight Ministries, a nationwide ministry inviting college women into Christ-centered community that fosters vulnerability and transforms stories! The first time I met her was at a convocation for my school and immediately after talking to her, I knew I had to have her be one of my passion story features! The conversation we had was so down-to-earth and inspirational and I could not help but share it with you guys.
