Everyone always told me that high school flies by past and shockingly it did. Then going into college people told me the same thing but it goes by even quicker than high school. As each semester went by I thought to myself I should not take this time for granted and to live it up while college lasts.
Each semester flew by followed by each year flying by and I found myself constantly saying "holy shit". But now I am saying that to the end of my college career. I cannot believe I am within the last weeks of my senior year at Eastern. It feels like yesterday that I was a senior in high school trying to figure out where I was gonna go to school and then when i finally chose EIU I was at cheerleading tryouts here. Then I was moving into Carman at a blink of an eye. Now to think I am graduating in four weeks is beyond me and my family.
To think of where I am now and how much going away to school in general changed my life has me at a loss for words. Senior year my plan was to stay at home in Chicago because I knew I could not be away at school and I had a high school boyfriend at home. Finally, one day I woke up and realized that this experience and choice will change my life and that I had to do this for myself and no one else. Well going away was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my 22 years of life and it has worked out for the best, not only relationship wise but it has shaped me as a person. A lot of people screw up their lives and get into bad things at college but for me it was the opposite, thankfully.
Although there have been ups and downs and I don't know exactly what I want to do with my degree I know things will work out whether it be my dream job or a being a cop, which has always been my backup plan. I know graduating and going back home will be bittersweet but I am excited for what's next to come.

Losing My Mind
When me and my roommates came up with the idea to do a bar crawl I thought it was a really good idea. Since we are graduating and some people are transferring home, we thought perfect....one last hurrah.
My big mouth gets me into a lot of good things and a lot of bad things. And I don't know which one this is. I like that we are doing this because it will ultimately be a great time but I am in a pickle with the planning.
I am fine with planning things and dealing with people, after all my major is public relations, but not when it's indecisive people. And not when there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians. When u bring up any type of event to someone they always they're attending and they want a shirt. Well that's not always the case because when you go on money runs and people say "oh I'm not getting a shirt anymore", then that leaves ME finding s replacement or throwing in extra money....not fun for me or my bank account.
At this point my roomies and I have been spotting just about everyone who doesn't go here, and there are 76 shirts. 76 times 8, you do the math.
All in all I am sure it will all work out and go just fine but i stress myself out way too much and need to work on my patience with people. This is a last bar crawl to be all together here for our last couple weekends and to have a great time and great memories. Whoo hoo!

WEEZY
I live for concerts. They are very fun and you get to see your favorite artists perform. In my case, my favorite artist would be Lil Wayne. I have seen him at House of Blues and at the United Center both in Chicago and last night I saw him again at United Center.
All three concerts I have thrown down a lot of money to be very close. Let me just tell you that it was well worth it. Last night's concert included a lot of his Young Money crew including Nicki Minaj, DJ Khaled and Rick Ross. Also, the drummer from Blink 182, Travis Barker was along side on tour with these people. I am a huge fan of all of these people so I was very excited to say the least.
At first we were in the wrong seats and we felt like idiots but when we were told where are seats were we had to give some people the boot and we were even closer than we thought, which was awesome. To explain how close I was, I could touch the singers on stage and also see behind stage.
All in all, I will totally go back to a fourth Lil Wayne concert even if I have to spend $200 again on a ticket. It was all well worth it and a lot of fun!
