How to get students to attend stupid events and other fun facts

I got up in time this morning even with the late night *happy dance* though I was not the most pleasant person I wasn't a complete bitch either. We all staggered out of our rooms and to the basketball stadium to try and break a world record (which we did!) We were all having fun and then we had a rally for the upcoming football season and again it was really fun. That's when the did it, they already had us so the brought in speakers to tell us how important it was to get involved in stuff around campus for when you apply for a job. That was for an hour and we had been their since 9...it did not go over well with the students and by the end of it was all ran from the stadium.
I was thinking about taking a nap, but I want to get on a good schedule for when classes start on Monday so I decided to do this program all abut being safe while drinking blah, blah, blah...that we had to do online. I enrolled and got to the screen to start the course. I click start and...I was sent back to the home page. I did this FIVE times before I gave up. Everyone else could do it but me. I don't know if the University is trying to tell me something or what, but it was pissing me off. I asked my RA but she did know what to tell me she also said she didn't think it would be a big deal if I didn't do it. So I came back to the room and started to read "Plum Spooky" because those books make me happy. Lexus then came over and we had an adventure trying to get our mail boxes open and I got my books for class, well the required ones at least. I then ate at the dinning area for the first time. I'm a big girl now.

By being a big girl I also stalked boys for the first time, look at me growing up. Lexus and Honor (girls across the hall) have windows looking into the dorms across the way, which happen to be boys floors. A group of us sat and watched them for a good half hour. One group of said boys saw us and we had a pleasant little screaming conversation from window to window about what year we were. They were kinda tools, but it was still very funny. I swear to god this all girls dorm is turning me into a boy crazy freak. Like I want to hang out with someone who isn't giving off estrogen so bad I might puke.

I then went to a Luau that was being held by the university and chilled with my girls. No boys approached our group except Mike who is Anna's friend and also gay. He is a sweetheart though and I love him even though I've only known him for a few days. That's really how I feel about a lot of the people I am hanging out with. Lexus, Anna, Alexa, Sam, and everyone else on my awesome ass floor. That isn't saying we don't have Barbie dolls as my new friend Cassie says, but most of us are super chill. 

I got back to the room from playing cards at 1 figuring it would be an early night, but it was not to be. My best friend from high school who goes to a different college was on skype and decided to call me. I was talking to him till two once again before he went to do laundry (I thought it was an odd time) However the most exciting thing of the night was our first drunken story. After we had the assembly about being safe with drinking (see last post) this girl is in the lobby obviously wasted leaning over a trash can with another girl telling her to warn her before she pukes. This girl later gets carted away in an ambulance and we find out she took 10 shots as a freaking pregame. Anyone knows 10 shots in freaking main event material and covered by freaking ESPN. Now I'm not sure what happened to her, but it has lead us to a new nickname for our dorm. The drunk bitch dorm. We are pleasant little girls aren't we?

Good Morning Pittsburgh!

So I went to sleep around two in the morning because some of my fellow male classmates decided it would be a good idea to sit out in the courtyard and scream at the top of their lungs. I did not agree, but then they didn't ask my opinion.

At the time I didn't see this as a huge deal since I have nothing to do today until 2p.m. At eight this morning when someone pounded on my door I remembered one small detail...my roommate Anna was moving in today. If there is anything that will wake you up faster then someone pounding on your door the the door opening when you don't think their is anyone else with a key please inform me because I have never woken up so fast. After I figured out what was going on everything went pretty smoothly. Anna's parents are super nice and have offered to buy us anything we need for the room (sweet!).

The girls moving in down the hall are exactly what I expected to find in a dorm full of girls...they are what are referred to as those girls. One refused to sleep by the window so they had to move everything in the room, then they were complaining about closet space, and now they are hanging up all there AE clothes while watching Finding Nemo. Now I'm not trying to bash Nemo but unless I am completely wrong about these girls I don't see us becoming fast friends. They are now referred to by our group as the Nemo room. Yes I said group as in I made friends.

We have an open door policy on our floor meaning if you have your door open people can come visit. Me and Anna were just chillen when this girl pops her head in and asks where we sleep. We find out her name is Alexa and is friends with a girl across the hall Lexus. They ended up sitting on the floor and talking to us for a good hour and we sucked more and more people into our room so soon we had girls from different floors. It was pretty sweet. The best part was that a smaller group of me, Lexus, Anna, Alexa, and Honor hung out together for the rest of the night. I am closest probably to Lexus just because she reminds me a lot of a girl back home that has the same name.

We had a floor meeting and I love my RA. She is super nice and sweet and wants to do all these things with us over the year. After that we had to go to an assembly about sex, drugs, and drinking. It was actually very good and talked about rejection (a giant fear of mine and about every other teenager) and how you will get turned down more then you will be accepted. I don't know if I am going to take it to heart or not, but it made me feel better at least.

I was out walking around till about 1 a.m. and then played cards up in the lounge with kids from other dorms. Some of them were a bit on the annoying side, but they were alright overall. I got back to the room at 2ish and found P.J asleep in front of the closet meaning no shower. There were also people scream outside again, but I passed out which was good seeing as I had to be up at nine

Hello World!

Hi there!
I am a freshman in college this year and thought it would be fun to start a blog to post all the things that happen to me and such (I have no idea if this will be exciting or not) I am not going to use the actual names of anyone just to make sure no one sues me in the future. Now on to the basics.....
I'm not going to tell you what school I attend except that it is in the city of Pittsburgh. 
I am an undeclared freshman student and I am female. I have two roommates...P.J. and Anna (not their names) So far I haven't really done much except move in and meet my roommate P.J. who seems pretty cool, though we are both a little socially awkward. I'm not overly out going so the whole meeting new people thing is going a little slow, but I think I'll get the hang of it. One thing I have learned in my short time here is that even if you stick a bunch of people who don't know each other in any social setting they will instantly form into small groups. If you are not in ones of these groups...you are screwed. I'm not really a group person so as you can guess I haven't made many friends yet, but it is still early. *thinking positive*

I'm not a total social outcast though. Both my brother and his girlfriend live right outside the city and they have basically adopted me now that I'm here. I already have a tooth brush at their apartment and they have suggested I leave clothes there. I feel like their collective girlfriend or pet dog...both sound really wrong, but whatever. I know a few kids here from my highschool and one girl that goes to a school nearby.

Another thing I learned today, no matter what time it is there are people walking around campus. This makes me feel a lot safer, but you won't see me strolling around at 3 in the morning by myself. Even with my maglight that could knock out a horse. My brother's girlfriend (who will be known as Taylor) bought it for that excat reason. "This is so you can beat off rapists" like I am going to be walking around with this gaint freaking flashlight whenever I go out. I guess it is the thought that counts...I guess. 

Well that is it for now I am going to read a bit (a favorite passtime of mine) then sleep (another favorite passtime)
Good night :)
