LIFE IN THE DUB C

you can't go to wcu and not get at least one picture in front of the sign!


welcome to room 636, audrey's and my happy, humble abode ♥


my favorite boys from home and i in front of our new school mascot after all getting accepted to wcu!



the dreaded laundry room, at least that's what it is for me.  i'm embarrassed to say, before college, i never really did my own laundry, so it's just a pain!

homecoming football game with my girls and the fabulous ram mascot.

just a little macbook fun in the dorm with the girls. 



the Francis Harvey Green library where I spend too much of my time, usually in the late hours of the night.


my RAM CAMP group, which was a leadership convention my mom forced me to sign up for, but which i ended up actually enjoying and getting a lot out of!


the work study gang hard at work on our Wednesday night APE swim program.


just a bunch of the girls, some from home and some from WCU, all together for a night out.


fans at the Shontelle concert!!!!


my very messy desk and bed, where i spend a good portion of my time.

SHHH, this is the library.

we can all thank the diner for saving us from lawrence dining hall every now and then... and also for the infamous freshman 15.


college boy swag.


a late night slice of chris's pizza is like a slice of heaven.



These are just a few highlights of what my new life here at college includes.  It would take me quite awhile to explain everything that has happened to me here at West Chester University.  So far, the college experience has been great for me.  It's exactly what i expected in the sense of having complete freedom, meeting tons of new people, and just having a good time.  Suprisingly, the part that isn't what i expected was the college work and assignments, and being in charge of managing my own time.  I had little faith in my self and was so nervous starting school, thinking I was not going to be able to handle all the work I was going to have, getting so far behind and just being stressed.  However, I am lucky enough that this is not the case.  I am proud to say I'm doing well in most of all my classes and am happy with that way things are going.  Of course I procrastinate, just like almost every other college student does, but I eventually get things done.  Even after all that, I still have plenty of time to work, socialize, exercise, relax, and just have time to myself.

There is so much going on in college, specifically here at West Chester.  There is hardly a moment when I find myself bored, with nothing to do.  We've only been in school for two and a half months, but I could probably include a million more pictures.  So much has happened in this short time, and my life has changed drastically.  Even a mere 3 months ago, I never saw myself being where I am today.  Time is flying by, and I can't believe the end of the first semester is approaching.  I am doing my best to enjoy my time here and take every opportunity I can to better my experience.  I know I'm still only a freshman, but I know my four years of high school flew by in the blink of an eye, so I'm sure my years here will too.  I'm just trying to make the most of my time here!
