HOLA friends! I started a blog because I think that all of you are extremely interested about what is going on in my life.... NOT- I started one because lets be honest, college life is stressful, fun, exciting, and eventful. Within the next 5 years so much is bound to change in any college student's life. I figured, if these years are so important why not tell everyone exactly what it's like from the perspective of a person who's currently going through it so that those of you who are in the same stages as I am can realize that you're not the only ones riding the struggle bus, and those of you who are not, can get a good laugh.
I'm currently in my sophomore year at Utah State University and a proud Aggie. In order to quickly catch you up on what my freshman year at college was like I'll tell you a story that sets the stage pretty well. FIRST DAY OF COLLEGE- There is a huge hill at USU called old main hill where plenty of activities occur, one of which was a giant slippin slide to help freshman feel less homesick and to have more of the typical fun college experience. I wore a tankini to be safe since it was a slippin slide and we didn't want any sliding of the top to happen. First round- great, no injuries, fun time, lets do it again. Second round- mad spinning, jammed finger, giant pile up, several injuries. I stood up quickly, running off the tarp to get out of the way of another person sliding at an accelerated rate down the tarp when I heard people laughing and whooping all around me. In my hurry to get out of the way I had neglected to notice that my top (my safe tankini top) had come undone in the pile up and was half off. I WAS MORTIFIED! People clear at the top of the slide were laughing! I literally sprinted to the dorms, called my mom and cried to her about flashing everyone the first day of college. Good thing my mom (aka my best friend) has a good sense of humor cause she laughed and then nursed my wounded pride. About 5 minutes later I laughed it off and said "well now when people ask what my most embarrassing moment has been I'll have an answer". Enough said, my freshman year was not my most shining amazing year, but hey I passed and somehow made it to today.
Don't worry, more stories like the above are to come. Its college.
Beautiful Jill!! I love that you're writing a blog so we can keep up with your fun and crazy life...plus you're a fabulous writer. Sorry that happened your first day - but I'm glad you were able to laugh it off! Thanks for sharing :) Looking forward to more adventures!
