Recruitment

so, fall recruitment is coming up this week and i am really excited about it!! I have spent a lot of time with my sisters this weekend and i can iron a mean tablecloth to a tee. I am so excited to be going through recruitment on this side of the system and i can't wait to meet all of the new beautiful sisters that we will recruit this coming weekend!!

Back in the Burg...Feels Like Home

I moved back to Hattiesburg today and I love it. I am back with all of my sisters and some friends from home that i have missed over the past week. I moved back and some of my guy friends helped memove back into the house...of course they were both psyched to see the sorority house even though they didn't get to see many of my sisters like they were hoping...haha. I am so ready for this semester to be a great one and can't wait for it to begin!!

Back to School

I am packed and ready to head back to my loving sorority family at Southern Miss for my senior year!!! I have had a wonderful couple of weeks. My friend Jamison moved back to town and i got to hang out with him and some other friends for kareoke nights and a going away party for my friend Nathan. Nathan and Jon have gotten an apartment in Hattiesburg for this year so that is probably where i will spend some of my time. Nathan has agreed to be my date for the date parties this semester and I can't wait to get back and make the most of my senior year in college. I know that this will be the best year of my life by far and i intend to make sure i make the most of it!

Loving Life the Way It Is

So, i have come to the conclusion that i am a person who has always desparately grasped for a bit of control in different aspects of my life. Whether it be in my acting, my love life, or anything else, i have always wanted that sense of control over something. I was cleaning out my room the other day and found a saying that i had written down long ago. It says, "God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change; Courage to change the things i can; and the wisdom to know the difference." Well, i have not used the wisdom to tell the difference in a long time and it has caused me undue stress in my life. Now that i am looking at my senior year of college and wondering where i will end up by this time next year, i have decided to stop sweating the small stuff and to let my heart lead the way. Wherever i am meant to be, i am trusting that God will lead me there. I large weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and, instead of looking at my senior year with fear and uncertainty, i am looking at it with excitement and impatience for it to begin.

My Crazy Life

A lot has happened recently. Since Daniel and I broke off our engagement, guys have been coming out of the woodwork saying that they have been interested and/or they are currently interested. Its been crazy. I had a wonderful vacation with my family in Florida this past week and then went to Pickwick for the first of many (i hope!) annual Pierce family weekends at the lake. My whole family was there and it was good to be all together at some other time of the year other than Christmas!! I love my family so much and they are such a great support system for me. I dont know what i would do without any of them in my life. I went to Starkville last Thursday and had an amazing visit with my friend Ted! We have been friends for 7 years and it was great to reconnect with him again. I went and spent that weekend with my wonderful sorority sisters for a formal recruitment workshop and stayed with my friend Jamison at his apartment. Soon he will be moving home to Memphis to go to school there and I am excited to have him back!! I will be leaving for Hattiesburg and Southern Miss in mid-august to start my final year of college!! I may have a crazy life, but i wouldn't trade any part of it for the world!

Long Summer of Missing my Friends

So, i am halfway through the summer and i miss my sisters and friends terribly. It is the toughest summer i have had in a long time, but everything that is passing is making me stronger. I have wonderful friends who are missing me too. I am hanging out a lot with my friend Nathan, enjoying the true blood books, and plan on visiting my best friend from high school in Starkville a week from now! Things are starting to look up. I went to Graceland yesterday, got the VIP tour, and got a picture with Elvis and a set of stationary note cards so i can write to people when i go back to school for my senior year in college. I want to try to act and hopefully, i can convince a couple of friends to seize our youth and move to Los Angeles with me after we graduate. There is no time like when we are young to do something like that and take a huge risk. I dont have a family to take care of, so it would be the best time to move out there and go for it. I am excited about this new chapter in my life. I feel ready to do my best, to step up and really reach for my impossible dreams. Hopefully, i can be successful with my craft, not neccessarily rich and famous, but able to make a living with what i am passionate about. I will start updating more often, but for now, adios!

Many Changes Bring New Enlightenment

So, my cousin Jenny told me that i need to update more, which is the truth, so here we go. Daniel and I have broken up as of June 1, 2010. We are both going in very different directions and we realized that we could not keep going unless one of us gave up our dreams. It was better to break it off and stay friends rather than give up on a dream and resent each other and break up later on. It may work out that we may romantically involved again one day, but for right now, we are friends and will support each other in our dreams as friends do. I have not been really busy this summer, but instead have been doing a lot of soul searching about where to go from here in pursuit of my dreams. I do want to become a successful actress in the movie industry. My friend Nathan has told me that he is just going along for the ride and taking things as they come. I think that for right now, i am going to take a leaf from Nathans book and take things as they come. I have only myself to lookout for and i am going to do it to the best of my ability. Hopefully, things will all work out for the best.
