Georgia Weekend!! :)

I had such an amazing time this weekend celebrating USC's win against the Bulldogs with my best friend from home! My best friend Mollie goes to University of Delaware drove down here on Friday night with her two friends (who I know from visiting her at school during my fall break sophomore year). We had dinner at Salty Nut Cafe and then I had some friends over later that night so I could introduce them. They had an amazing weekend, but they were not fans of the muggy Carolina weather.....(but honestly who is?). This was their first experience in the South and they were so impressed by how nice every one was. Mollie's friend literally said "Wow, I was just so confused when that boy held the door for me....I'm used to UDEL boys letting it slam on my face." I thought this was hilarious and a feeling many northerners probably experience when they come down here. I took them to Chick-fil-a breakfast because they had never had it before and they loved it. I wish they could come back and visit again this weekend! It was so great to be reconnected with a friend from home :) The only sad part is that I can't believe my last Georgia weekend as an undergrad is over....I definitely plan on returning to USC for big games as an alumni.

Last First Semester

 It's unbelievable that my first semester of senior year has already started and in full swing! I've had a excellent start to the semester- lots of fun with friends at the pool, lake, the first football game, and an AWESOME U101 class :) It's a lot of fun working with the first-year students and Elizabeth....it feels like it was just last week I was sitting in my U101 class in Capstone. As for the rest of my classes, my teachers seem great so far! When I selected my classes had to compensate good schedule timing (my classes are at the worst times) in order to get the teachers with the best ratings on rate my professor. I've used the Rate My Professor website since freshman year and it has never failed me. It's so important to have a good professor because that will definitely make or break your class experience.

Unfortunately, as my senior year classes kick into full gear, the leisurely days will become few and far between :( Right now on I'm sitting in my room trying to complete all my work so I can enjoy the last day of this beautiful three-day weekend. I attempted to convince my friends for a day trip in Charleston, but no one wants to drive there because of the labor day traffic, so I think today will be a pretty relaxed day maybe at the pool or the river. I had an amazing time at the Drake concert in Charlotte on Saturday night with my friends. And I'm already counting down the days to the ECU game next weekend! The gamecocks better win this weekend!
