Yesterday

Hey my majessties,

So, yesterday was definitely different down here at USC. We had a shooting on campus that left the campus on lockdown and two dead. While the shooter's identity still has not been revealed, the other person was a beloved faculty member. What a day, right? I woke up yesterday morning not looking forward to classes and thinking it would be just another regular day. How wrong was I?

Philadelphia is Lacking

Hey my Majessties,

So, the South has something that the North pretty much lacks. And while it is normally great to see and have happen to you, it can also backfire in your face.

That little thing is called Holding Doors.

While this may happen back home in Philadelphia, we are quick to move on if the person is not close enough to hold the door for. Here though, the door is held no matter what. And while this is normally helpful, it can also get awkward because they will wait.

Rain and Humidity Are Not Kind

You can skip reading this if you want because the topic is not something entirely interesting to anyone everyone.

Hey my Majessties,

This one is definitely going to be a rant about something that I do not like about coming to the South.

The weather.

As simple as this sounds, this place needs to get its act together on what the weather should be like. This whole week, for instance, is supposed to be 95-98 degrees every day with 85%ish humidity. Umm excuse me? Do you want me to look like a hot mess in every single one of my classes?

Get Some Motivation

Hey my majessties,

So, you know when you have been feeling so stressed and busy that you end up falling into the crevices of your couch and never get up? It's a familiar feeling for me. I mean, I take daily naps.

Well, I have been feeling that way lately because, contrary to the stories of senior year, I have been getting a lot of work. And with AP tests starting this week, I've tried to make studying a part of my daily routine. But senioritis is making that decision really hard to stick to. I mean, I'm going to college, so why do I have to read Beowulf? I don't. There's the answer.

But for once, instead of sleeping the day away on the couch or in bed, my family and I decided to get a good dose of fresh air. So, after I took a two hour nap (What can I say? A girl needs her sleep), we went out to the local hiking (?) place. And we took along our little pup, Louie. Poor guy had a tough time with his little legs.

Get Over Yourself

Hey my Majessties,

So, this is going to be a short but long overdue post sparked by a simple conversation I had at school. And it was between myself and a few underclassmen. And this shows how downhill the kids after us are heading.
