Catching Up!

Hey y'all!

Can you believe I haven't posted in almost 3 weeks? Well me either!

School has started for me, and I love my classes. I'm taking two online: World Geography and Library Studies. And two in class: Beginning Latin and Leadership Fundamentals (which is the beginning of my Leadership minor!) I have all A's right now and am loving each course.

I only have class Monday-Wednesday, so I'm using this time to really explore my interests and grow as a person! I'm currently going through Sorority Recruitment (which I can't talk about til Sunday, when it's all over). Additionally, I am rushing an honors fraternity. I'm a member of PRSSA, the Public Relations Student Society. I'm also a member of hall council for the dorm I live in, and SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise).

I'm beyond excited about the way everything is going!

During November of last year, I really thought I wanted to leave USF. I was a freshman who had gotten caught up in my first college relationship, that ended badly when he cheated. I thought I wanted to transfer to be closer to my parents, and thus run away from my problems. Instead, I decided to stay at USF and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I love being active on campus. And USF is my second home.

Me on Spirit Day of Sorority Recruitment! 

GO BULLS!

This is a Deep Blog Post (AKA Considering Changing Majors)

I've literally changed my major so many times, it's laughable. But for the first time, in a long time, I think I decided that I want to change my major again.

It's ridiculous but I'm actually thinking of changing from Public Relations (the major that I always seem to go back to) to Social Work.

Reasons to Change:

- What the heck am I going to do with a degree in Public Relations? I literally have no idea. I really don't want to end up working in an office with a bunch of paper work, and that's it.

- My ultimate goal with social work would be to do marriage/family counseling. I know this may sound silly, as I'm only 19, but I really am interested in how to keep a relationship and family afloat. Since I was young, I always have looked into deeper reasons as to why my own parents relationship failed, and I love learning about the relationships between siblings. I am an only child, and I always wonder how I would have been different if I had a sibling.

- I really want to help people. I love to talk to people to make them feel better.

- I want to be able to work wherever I end up living. I don't really want to move to, like, New York City as I would have to if I decided to stick with Public Relations (Because I'd want to work in fashion or music).

Any advice would be appreciated. alkdfjoiadufl.a,skdjf

Organizing!

Here's the before and after pictures from my organizing project that I promised y'all!

The bottom right picture is the before! The other two are after. I have so many storage boxes because these are my things from college.

After then before.

Before then after!

EDITOR'S NOTE:

I'm not really this messy, promise! This is my room at my dad's house, that I never lived in full-time until this summer, so I am just now getting around to making it clean and more "grown-up". 

I had to move home in one weekend (from my dorm), and packed myself and moved all my things myself, so it wasn't packed very orderly and I was in a rush!

Thanks for reading,

Love,

Eileen

Weekend!

Oh of course, I promise to start writing a blog, and then I neglect it for the entire weekend. Well, where to begin...

I'm still getting used to the format of Blogger, so bear with me until I make my page unique and interesting.

This past weekend was incredible in so many ways!

Friday- I finally finished organizing and cleaning my room. It's really transformed into a "grown-up" version of itself. I know where everything/anything is, which is lovely. I'll share pictures tomorrow, so look ahead for that.

Saturday- I went shopping and signed up at Lilly Pulitzer so they call me as soon as they get their planners in! I cannot wait to keep an organized, girly planner for college :) That night, I went to the mall with the guy I'm dating. We went to PacSun. I needed to use a gift card that I've been holding on to since Christmas. It was for $50 and the total was $49.27! Don't you just love when that happens?! I got a pair of shorts, a white skirt, and two tank tops!
Anywho, after that we walked around for a while, and ended up going to his truck for a bit to talk, because the mall was so packed.
He then invited me back to his house to watch the Miami Heat game. I got to meet his parents! Which is always an incredibly scary moment, and I wasn't nearly ready as I should be, seeing as I hadn't planned on meeting them that night. They were so nice though, and totally relieved my scared/worried nature.
We stayed in his room, and watched the game. It wasn't awkward, and I didn't feel pressured at all. We just sat and cuddled and watched our team win. I even fell asleep on his chest! How cute!?
He's pretty much perfect! :)

Sunday- We had a family dinner at Olive Garden with all my dad's family, and we even invited my step dad along! I cried at the end of the meal because it was so fabulous, and I really miss all the family I don't get to see on a regular basis.

Thanks for reading this long post!

Love you all <3

Some New News

I am officially signed up for Sorority Recruitment! I'm so excited I can hardly contain it. I think I will just absolutely love the experience, and it will certainly add to my college experience.

I'm also reading a fantastic book! It's called The Defining Decade by Meg Jay, PhD. I definitely recommend you read it! I worry about everything, and over think way too much. But this book is putting so many things in perspective for me.

I decided I want to start writing everyday, in an effort to make my life a little more entertaining and exciting.

Today, I literally just cleaned my room and slept. I hate having allergies, because I have to take Bendaryl, which then makes me sleep. It's difficult! Anywho, this is all for now.

Love,
Eileen

Hello All,

I'm clearly just getting started on this whole blogging thing. Inspired by my tumultuous first year of college nearly coming to a close, I wanted to go ahead and start documenting my life as it happens. I'm hopefully transferring to a bigger school, but I won't announce it until I get accepted. So fingers crossed!

I have a boy in my life. I'll refer to as T. He's great. We don't go to the same school now, and we won't when/if I transfer either. Hopefully it works out, but we shall see.

Whoever is reading this, I love you, but ignore this dabble. I'll bring more interesting stuff later. I'm tired right now.

xx, Eileen
