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.

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.

The Future is Real!

Hey my Majessties,

So, it's official, I've committed to a college! I am now a University of South Carolina Gamecock! And while my dad may not be too excited about the mascot, I am so ready to move on from high school.

Seriously though, finally deciding is just the biggest weight off of your shoulders. And it was really weird how I finally decided. I had just visited there and the other school that was in the running and I was so confused. Both were great in their own ways and I had no idea which school was more "me". I know, corny but whatever. Go with me here. 

So Close to Spring Break

Hey my Majessties,

So, I don't know about everyone, but my spring break starts this coming week. And it feels like it's been forever since I was off from school. Seriously, if you think about it, the third marking period has been spread out over four months while the fourth will be a month and a half. All because of Mother Nature and her stupid love for snow. I got it at the time, snow days were great, but now that we've been in school for so long since winter break, I've realized we ended up getting the short end of the stick. 

Obviously we're better off than the underclassmen though. They have to go basically another month after the seniors finish. It's a good year to be senior.
