Cocky for a Reason?

Hey my Majessties,

So, in the South, there is one thing that rules the school. The SEC, or the South-Eastern Conference for college football. The game day experiences are one of a kind and the rivalries beat every other. Sorry Cheltenham vs. Abington, but USC vs. Clemson is so much better. One year, we took a time out in our own game to see Clemson lose against Georgia.

But in terms of going to a football game in the South, there are a few rules that need to be followed.

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.

Don't Laugh!

Hello my Majessties,

So,  I have always had a very loud and somewhat obnoxious laugh. And although I am normally a polite person, I do have the tendency to laugh at completely wrong moments. And when something is really funny to me, and I start, it takes me a much longer to start. Much longer than necessary.

My friends always say I have the type of laugh that makes other people start laughing. So needless to say, I usually make things worse for myself.
