There are pros and cons of a single life. I have been thinking about this lately as many of my best friends are in a relationships and there are many times that I feel like a third wheel win we hang out.
Pros:
- Save money....obviously
- Not pinned down all the time to hangout
Cons:
- Don't have anyone to be there for all the time
- Don't have that trust that comes with a person who is more than your best friend.
I'll be honest, thought the list was going to be longer but I am not an expert on love. Every time I around a couple, a desire that has been inside for a few months grows more and more. I am ready to find a girl that I will marry and live the rest of my life with. Trust me when I say that I am looking. I am relying on God to show me the right girl, a godly girl who is loving and caring.
I see all these couples having fun with each other and enjoying spending time with each other and I so desire that. I want to be able to go on double dates with my friends so I can spend more time with my friends before I graduate.
I have never really have had more of a desire for anything than my desire for this. I continue to pray and wait patiently and wait on God.

ATL Takeover
Last weekend myself and 5 others made a weekend trip to ATL to watch South take on the Georgia State Panthers! We left Friday night and visited a Dwarf Chick-fil-a, one of the original restaurants, and then headed to our hotel for the night. Saturday we visited World of Coca-cola and drank a LOT of sugar! AFter that we ate in the CNN Center and then headed to the game.
At the game we sat by the VIPs of the university including the president (two rows in front of us), public relations guy (row in front of us) and the dean of student affairs....the boss of the bookstore (5 seats down from me on the same row). The only bad thing is that they are so boring and don't cheer much so we didn't get to cheer as much as we wanted to.
The game was alright until the very end. We had :08 seconds left in the game down by 7 and they make it to the end zone and through it in but it go intercepted but there was a flag on the play on the opposing team, so we go the ball back. We throw it in again and score to tie it up with :04 seconds left and the game went into OT. Neither team scored and went into double OT. The panthers scored and we did not so the game ended 27-20.....overall a good game.
After the game we went out to eat and then went to Braden's house to stay the night. We woke up to a great breakfast and then headed home. A great weekend full of great memories!!

Let's A Go!
On Friday the BCM had their annual "Halloween" party and the theme this year was childhood cartoons. Some of the guys at the bookstore decided to dress up as a group and we decided to Mario and company. We had Mario, Luigi, Wario, Daisy, and Yoshi in bag form haha. Other people from the bookstore decided to do things differently and one was the Hulk and the other was Iceman from X-men.
There were many costumes at the party that were great! Probably one of the best "Halloween" parties ever at the BCM, that I have been apart of.
We all have to dress back up for work tomorrow! Woohoo!!

[INSERT TITLE HERE]
So this post is going to be all over the place because right now several things are going on in my mind.
The past few days have been pretty hectic with school, work, and life stuff. Work has something going on all the time whether it be sidewalk sales, football, inventory, or just general end of season sales. Once you think school is going to slow down a bit it gets more hectic with graduation stuff.
I'm not complaining about life at all. Sure there are certain things I could do with/without right now but that is life....you deal with it. Overall life is good, I am loving being with friends and spending time with friends, even though I should focus more on school work but senioritis is in full effect!!! Graduation needs to get here!
I am already fearing what will happen after I graduate. I have so many options and I need to make sure I am doing what God wants me to do, which is kind of hard for me to be honest. However that is a whole another blog post.
Anyways, just figured I would post something since I haven't in a while. Maybe I will have time to post a more logical/focused blog post this upcoming week.

What A Day....
Today has been one crazy day.
First of all it is homecoming week and so by default, pretty much everyday this week is going to be a crazy day. Today was especially crazy though. It started with my first public speaking speech this morning. It went well....made an 85! Woohoo! Then had an interesting conversation with my Mom and life in general (notice the casual insert of the blog title, oh yeah, that just happened!) and then a conversation with two BCMers while I waited to 10:30 so I could go into work. Ended up talking too much and was late....oops. Worked until 3 in which I came back to my room and ate some lunch.
However my bread had got all soggy and I couldn't make a sandwich.....very weird indeed. So i ate a half can of Pringles, obviously I need to go to Wal-mart. The chips were salt and vinegar flavored, in case you were wondering. Went back to the BCM to work on homework and then finished most of my radar homework. Merge started and we got fed tacos for dinner. YUM!!!
This is when it got crazy. From 9 - now (11:20), my world has gone the opposite direction I thought it was going to go....for now. A girl, who shall remain anonymous came up to me asking me about relationship advice. Totally would not have expected this from this person as our past has been rocky in our own relationships. Nonetheless she came to me and I helped her with a few things. Now I am pretty much setting up group dates for this girl and this guy that I don't really know. Weird right?
Next thing that comes up, is that I am planning an over-night trip to Atlanta to see the Jags play Georgia State. Would not have expected that tonight at all!
Oh man......crazy day indeed!

Friends....
Even though the post below says I am going to write about certain topics, I have changed my mind. I am just going to write about whats going on in my mind as graduation (Dec. 17th) gets closer.
The thing on my mind is leaving my friends down here. Over the past 3.5 years I have made some amazing friends down here at South. I have seen some friends lose contact but I know that there is a core group that I will keep up with and they will keep up with me. This core group, I have created several memories with and will cherish those memories throughout my entire life. On December 18th I am going to leave Mobile to head back home and from there I am not sure where I am going to end up. That is going to be a very tough day, leaving my friends down here.
I think it is time for a stroll down memory lane....let's being with sophomore year [freshman year took place in SC at Trident.....BTW I hate Trident]
Making new friends started right away when I got here and met my first friend through a facebook post that said, "Craving Cracker Barrel....anybody wanna go?" Braden Cheek chat messaged me and that friendship was born. I met Fred Schmidt (first roommate) and Miranda Hayes at the MET Club welcome week event. I got to know BJ Smith through a bible study for freshman/transfer students called FiSH groups and he was my leader. I met Colin Roeder through the BCM and his first time around me, he said that I ignored him and text people instead....hahaha, what can I say, I was shy. I met Jaclyn Tisdale (Fatty) and Ashley Davis through the MET club and being friends with Miranda. I learned that Carly Nichols had the same birthday as me [June 26] and Amy Cannon dressed up with me and Fred as the Scooby Doo gang. I got to know Jaclyn more through SeCAPS and Miranda and Fred more through a mission trip to NOLA....one of the best mission trips I have been on! Then there was this time Fred, Miranda, Jaclyn, and me all took a trip to Biloxi, MS which then turned into a trip to NOLA....gotta love spontaneous road trips.
I met many others at the BCM through various events such as Oozeball (didn't play, just watched), Urban Plunge mission trip to Jacksonville, FL, etc. Some people that met include but excluded to Lauren Walker, Kelley Greathouse, Katie Hepler, Omar Torres, Gillis Jones, and Daniel Wise.
Wow, what a great first year! It just gets better from here....next post will be junior year.

3 1/2 years!
Three and a half years in the making and it comes down to one event....GRADUATION!! So much has happened over the last 3 1/2 years that I could probably write a book from all of the lessons learned, but instead I'm going to write a series of blog posts that commemorate my time here at South.
These posts will include the following topics:
These posts will include the following topics:

Abortion Riots
I was driving down Airport Blvd. (a road to similar to rivers avenue in charelston) on Sunday and there were about 150-200 people standing on the side of the road protesting abortion. They had signs about how it kills and to save lives and were waving at people. If any one of them fell over they would have been run over.....thats how close.
I must say it was pretty intimidating seeing all of those people but also kind of annoying as they were slowing down traffic. Don't get me wrong, I'm against abortion but I am against the way they presented their views. As far as I know there was no abortion clinic around and therefore no need to have that protest on the main road and to put themselves in danger.
I think they could have come up with better ways in getting their message out instead of protesting on the side of the road. Just my opinion.

Things That Make Me "SMH"
What does smh stand for? Shake My Head.
I was walking out of Wal-mart and thought about the stuff that people do that make me shake my head at. Here is my top 5:
I was walking out of Wal-mart and thought about the stuff that people do that make me shake my head at. Here is my top 5:
- Mobile Drivers
- People who casually walk across the street and don't speed up
- People who drive across a full parking lot and almost run into me
- Rude people
- People who don't respect other people for no reason
It Has Arrived!!
After 5 - 6 months of unbearable heat, fall has arrived here in Mobile! This is my favorite seasons as the leaves turn different colors and the holiday season approaches. This fall means something special to me, it is the time that I graduate from college and start a new chapter in my life.....that is a different blog post entirely. Back to Fall...
Here is the forecast for MOB and I'm loving it!!!
With Fall comes Fall Break, which is currently happening on the campus of South. I really don't have any plans for Fall Break and kind of making it up as I go. Right now I'm doing some much needed laundry and having a Transformers marathon considering I got all 3 of the movies on blu-ray yesterday. Tuesday will be the best day of Fall Break as Crowder's Christmas CD comes out that day as well as the newest book in the Percy Jackson series, Son of Neptune comes out as well!
Yes, Fall has arrived!
