About Me

My photo
I'm a cool person to get to know. I don't have many friends by choice. I've learned that you CAN'T call everybody your friend. I love my family they are my LIFE! Without them I wouldn't know what to do. I like to just hang around. I'm not active at all. I hate the outdoors! Eww! ahaha! well enough about ME : )

The person I love the MOST ♥



This man right here is my stepdad Robert Murray. I love him sooo much! I thank him for stepping up to the plate and loving me as his own daughter. If it wasn't for him I don't know where I would be today. He has taught me so much, because of him I'm a respectable young lady, who loves herself first. He has told me all about life. When I want to talk he is always there to listen. I don't even think about talking to anyone else about my feelings except him.
There's just so many positive things that he's stored in my mind that I don't even know where to start. The thing I love the most is that he believes in me even when I'm too dumb to believe in myself. He is my everyday motivator and inspiration.
Of course we argue. We actually argue a lot! We bump heads more than anyone in the house. I think its because he raised me to speak my mind. That's exactly what I do too! He can't even get mad because its his fault! : ) I love my dad. I'm happy he's still in my life today. I wouldn't change it for the world.
To my real dad: Your spot is already taken ...

Being A College Student

On campus it was pretty normal for me. I didn't really talk to anyone unless they were the scholars. I was too busy trying to get to class half an hour early! : ) I have never done that before in high school. I wanted to get a chance to talk to my teacher. It was pretty quiet for the most part walking on campus. I found out there was a store with a lot of junk food so I was always in there after class sometimes!

When I first met my teacher I noticed that she was always smiling! I couldn't help, but smile also. I love her jewelry. She always has the ring, bracelet, necklace, and earrings to match her outfit. Then she started TALKING! Her voice is like so soothing and soft. I just wanted to fall asleep every time. I like how she kinda relates what she talks about to her childhood memories. For some reason I just like hearing other peoples stories. I noticed that you have to talk to her right after class because she leaves right away. If I want a relationship with someone I have to talk to them face to face. I like her as a teacher.

Our study groups are great! I like my RTA Tricia she's cool. She makes sure that she has all our work and readings that we do in class so she can go over it too. So if we need help understanding something she can help us because she is involved also. She notices that I hesitate every time she calls on me. I was hoping that she would stop, but she hasn't! : ) Everyone has to participate. I like how she knew I had this weakness in class and she came to me to talk to me about it! She's helping me with that.

Residence Life

At first I was excited about living at Scott Hall. I couldn't wait to be free from my little brother and parents! I was thinking about staying up all night, partying, and getting to know my peers. I had everything I needed so I wouldn't have to call my mom for anything. I was so prepared.

When I got there everything I thought it would be changed. Like I got shy all of a sudden. That's just how I am, but I honestly wasn't expecting that. I was happy my best friend was there with me because I probably wouldn't be able to do it without her. I'm not really a people person and I could do good alone. I thought that it would be me and my bestie the whole time.

When I got to my dorm I loved it. It was cozy and different. I was waiting to meet my roommates. I don't know why because I'm not good at meeting new people. I was mostly curious to see who they were. I stayed in my room with the door shut. I heard people talking, but I just couldn't bring myself to go out and speak. The whole time we barely talked anyways, most of the time it was quiet, and that's how I liked it.

The food was good, but its nothing like a home cooked meal. I had snacks in my room that I would eat because I wasn't used to eating on a schedule. I stayed in my room most of the time until there were activities outside and the dance night! I loved the dance night more even though I didn't dance. I don't like dancing around people. I sang karaoke and won every time! I also played Foosball and was the CHAMPION of that also!

Even though I spent the majority of the time complaining I still had fun. It was a new experience for me. Now that I've done this I would like to do something similar like this again. Maybe then I would know what to kinda expect and have a better attitude. I was annoyed with some of the people, but overall I met some pretty cool people! : )
