BAMA!!!!!!!!!!!

so i forgot in my last blog (from all the excitement from my party) to mention that i got my acceptance letter from the University of Alabama! YAY! I’m so tinkled pink about it! I have it on my mini-frig in my room lol. I have been telling everyone. I even called my family in Atlanta to tell them the good news. They are so happy too. Now it’s just getting through this semester and then I’m off lol! I can’t wait to get down there! It’s going to be such a change….you can look at that in a good and a bad way i suppose. i’m not happy about leaving northeast by no means, but BAMA…come on! sometimes i just can’t wait to get all of my schooling out of the way and start my career. I’m not trying to rush through the years, but all this stress I go through doesn’t seem worth it, even though I know it is. this up coming month i think is going to kill me! i have so many things due april 1 it’s not even funny. sometimes i wonder how i get through the day. i mean i have 2 calendars in my room. one for school and one for work and other activities. then i have a planner in my purse that combines them both together. AH! so much to do…so little time. CRAZY huh?! I know so many people know what i’m going through, but there are also so many that don’t. i’m not trying to make myself sound more responsible or better, but there are times when i just cry because that seems to be the only way i can let stuff out. thank goodness spring break is coming up soon! not like i’m going to get a break, but at least i’m going to get to sleep in. that’s always a perk! any who….i hate to cut this short, but all that typing about work made me realize how much i have to do lol!

catch me next week!

xoxoxo

omg! a surprise party…for me?!

My birthday was yesterday and I have to say that it was the greatest one I have ever had! Here I thought that I was just going to have to weekend off and have a fwe presents…but no (in a good way). My boyfriend Zack through me the most wonderful surprise birthday party I could have ever dreamed of! Ok….see, I went to school….smiling just having a grand old time, had a SGA meeting that afternoon, then I went to work trying to stay in the same mood I had went to school in. Well Zack had told me earlier that day and all through the week that his momma had something planned for me and wanted to me come down after work. I didn’t think much about it, I just figured she was going to give me my present. Well while I’m getting off work, Zack is just a texting away. Where are you? Have you got off work yet? All sorts of things…I was starting to get frustrated because my day at work wasn’t going so hot. Well I set off to his house. I get there and he meets me outside. But I noticed that he wasn’t wearing what he did to school. He had one a navy blue polo..hmmm, again I didn’t think much about it, I just figured his mom told him to put something nice on lol. Well we’re heading in the house and all the lights are turned out. He told me that his mom waited up, but she was a little tired. He was trying to make me feel guilty for arriving at his house so late, and boy was he doing a good job. In the house you could see the streamers. He said him and his mom wanted to decorate for me (adding more guilt on me lol). As I walk around the corner in the kitchen…the lights come one and all I see are so many familiar faces and the word SURPRISE come out of all their mouths! Oh I was so happy! Beyond happy if a place even exists. I started crying to top it all off because I was so happy. He even got me a turtle cake because that time him and I went to the aqaurium he saw hoe much I loved turtles. I wish all of you could have been there. I have always wanted a surprise party, and now I will always have this memory! A pretty good bit of my friends from Northeast was there. Even some that used to go there but have moved on to universities. My best friend Casey was even in on this surprise along with my sis Shanna. Everyone knew, which is the way it’s supposed to go,but me. Oh it was the best! And you want to know what made it even greater…the present Zack got me! The party would have been more than enough, but the gift from him was priceless. He got me a ring….and not just any ring, but a PRE-ENGAGED RING! Oh it’s so beautiful! I love it! Again I could have cried when I got it. I just had to show everyone. It’s so big…with diamonds all around it….square cut…and a very light green stone because he knew green was my favorite color. That was the greatest night and I have him and all my friends to thank for it!

Catch me next week!

…if it’s not one thing…it’s another

Stress has decided to become my best friend…it never leaves my side. I can’t seem to go a day without worrying over something. It’s like I can’t even enjoy a day off because I have something that needs to be done, or homework to catch up on….it never fails. I hate that every time y’all see my blog I seem so down and depressed, but if you knew me in person…this isn’t me. I’ve just about reached my limit I guess. Now don’t get me wrong; I am a happy-go-lucky person who loves to have fun and goof, but there is a huge part of me that tends to stress and worry and AHH! I just want a break! I know that we’re out of school Monday, but of course, I have to work, but besides that, I am already planning all the things I need to do. It’s an on-going cycle. Oh well I guess…welcome to adulthood some may say. 

On another note…Valentine’s Day is coming up! I’m pretty excited. This will be my first one in a long time…like 3 years. I know Zack has something up his sleeve. Bless his heart, he tries to be sneaky about things, but like he can keep anything from me. I love his effort though. Oh! Did I tell y’all that we went to the aquarium?! Oh yes…we did! We went with some friends of ours from school. There was this flyer in the student center that said if you could show your student i.d., you get in at a discount. They wasn’t kdding! We even saw the i-max because it was such a good deal. I felt like a little kid because I was so fascinated! I loved it. I think we are going back since this thing is going on all month. Even my sister and her boyfriend went. There’s just something about the aquarium that gets us I suppose.  

GUESS WHAT?! My birthday is this month too. Yes I know some of you may remember from my last year’s blog, but for all you new readers…my birthday is the 20th. I’m pretty excited (if you can believe it through all this stress), but I am. I’ll be out of my teenage years…tear tear tear lol. I don’t have anything planned yet. Actually I think I am going to have to work….BUMMER! But oh well….just another day.

I’ll be sure to let y’all know how everything goes. I have some homework to attend to. Catch me next time! xoxoxo

:) just can’t quit smiling :)

So Zack and I went 4-wheeler riding this weekend…talk about some major fun! I love 4-wheeler riding, and we’re going again this weekend too. I’m so excited! Bless his heart too…HE LET ME DRIVE! I’m not saying that I’m a bad driver, but I tend to like to go super fast…not the wisest idea, but it sure is a thrill. Some friends from up here are going this time with us…ok, ok it’s actually my best friend Casey and my friend Josh who is actually her boyfriend. Yeah, ask them how they got together lol. Yep…me and Zack, but that’s another story. Any who, Casey and I work together and she has been going up here for like the last 3 semesters and Josh has been up here….I don’t know how long lol but I’ll guess a semester or 2. Any who I love the both of them and I am so happy they are together…we go on double-dates ALL the time. It’s great because we all know each other, so no one feels left out or anything and we just have a great time.

Zack and I are doing great by-the-way! It will be 3 months on Sunday (officially) or the 19 we will be together 4 months (unofficially). Take your pick on how you want to calculate it…and yes, I know, I keep track of things like that, but like I can help it! I’m telling y’all, it’s because of him that I can’t quit smiling. He makes me the happiest girl in the world! It’s crazy how things work out…especially here at NACC. We should have been together a long time ago, but all that matters is we’re together now. Sometimes I feel like I’m in a dream, because a guy like him doesn’t come my way very often…if any. I’m just so thankful to have him…..

Oh, and just to let you know….my birthday is coming up! I know that I’m getting older, but I still get excited! I’ m a little girl when it comes to the little things in life. 

And SGA has already started planning for the Spring Fling. I’m getting pumped about that too! But guess who got put in charge of the dance….ME! Yes, I’m not mad about it or anything, but man it’s going to be a lot of work because we didn’t have a Fall Fling dance. Thank goodness I have a committee helping me or I don’t know what I would do! I’ll keep you updated on the plans!  

Between all my stressful days, I can still say I’m the happiest girl in the world!

Catch me next time~

There’s a 1st Time for Everything :)

I know you have all heard the saying, “there’s a first time for everything,” and if you like it, try it again lol. Well guess what I did for the first time this weekend?! You’re going to laugh I just know you are….are you ready?! I WENT HUNTING! Yeah that’s right…little ole me, out there, wading in some water and everything lol. And y’all wouldn’t believe how proud Zack was of me. Yes, my boyfriend took me duck hunting. He had me all dressed up in some camo lol it was the cutest thing. Then I had to put these wader things on so we could get in the water. Talk about some funny stuff. I didn’t know hunters went through so much preparation. lol How was I supposed to know it was that serious of a sport.

So here we go after we got ready….riding to the spot to where we were going. Then we get out like way away from the water. I was like we have to walk forever and a day too. Zack’s just a smiling at me and was like we can’t park right next to where they will “light in.” Yeah, I so didn’t know hunters had their own lingo too lol, but I’m learning. So…we’re walking. I’m just a humming along lol trying to fit my foot in those waders that so weren’t my size, but who am I to complain, I wanted to go just as much as he wanted me too. Here we go. Zack didn’t even want to take me out in the water, because he figured I would fall, but I got my way so we went wading. On the way out he was like, “Now Jackie,” and I knew what was coming, “you’re going to have to be careful. You can’t walk like you normally do…” Yeah yeah yeah was all I thought. I got this! So we’re taking out unto the water. COLD! lol AHH! but I manned up and took it like a man, so I wouldn’t sound like such a girl. We walk like no joke, across that water to go stand next to a tree. A tree?! lol When we got to where we were going to stand, I look around,  is this it?! If any of  you know me, I’m the most impatient person you’ll ever meet. So naturally, I find something to play with, a stick lol. Yes….well when you are up to your waist in water (him only being up to like his thigh) without a clue on what to do besides be quiet, you have to find some sort of entertainment, so I did. There I am, spinning the stick in some water, being quiet before I get yelled at while Zack makes those funny sounds trying to call some ducks our way, I’m just chilling lol literally, and playing. Time goes by and I start wondering around that tree we’re standing next to. Zack’s just looking at me, smiling lol . I knew he wanted me to stay put, but I couldn’t help it. I was getting restless, but having fun. How many girlfriends would ever go hunting with their boyfriends? Not many that I know of, so I get to be one of those lucky few. He told me I did excellent! He just didn’t think I could be quiet for a long amount of time, and not want to go back 15 mintues after we get out there. lol I did good! I told him I had it from the get go though! It definitely was something new…..he wants to take me deer hunting now lol. Well just see what happens. Maybe he’ll kill something next time because we didn’t get anything this last time. They we’re flying though. They just wouldn’t “light” (land) where we were exactly.

I can’t wait to tell all my friends at school my new adventure.

Catch me next time!

my schedule

For me to be so young, I have never had so much responsibility. Sometimes I ever wonder how I get through the day. I know everyone is busy, but still, no one has my schedule. I mean…my day starts at 5:45. I get up (usually unwilling lol) and get ready for school. I have to leave my house at 7:15 ish to make it to my 8 o’clock class on time (which I’m usually late for anyways). Then I have class after class after class. Then usually I have a meeting. Whether it’s for p-host or sga; I always manage to have a meeting every week at 12 if not 2 or 3. Then right after the meetings I have about 15 to 20 mintues of prime socializing time lol, and then it’s off back to the house. From that I have about 30 minutes to get ready for work. Off to work. 3-9:30. I get home at about a quarter til, and that’s when I have my study time like about 12 or 1 ish. Then I have to get up and do it all over again. Now granted I only have to work 4 days a week, but if I’m not working at my job, I’m working on homework or something for the next meeting I have. Don’t get me wrong, I make time to have fun and relax! It just amazes me at how many of us students are so busy. Talk about a fast-paced world?!

School is going great by-the-way. I’m totally loving this semester. Besides being bus and all…it’s great. Sadly to say, I graduate in May. It’s a good and bad thing. I’m happy I have made it this far and I have enjoyed everyone moment at Northeast, it’s just sad this is my last semester. So you know I have to make it could!

Catch  me next time! xoxoxo

I just can’t help myslef I’ve fallen in love~

It’s happened…I’ve fallen in love with Zack! I’m telling you I have never felt this way. It’s one of those crazy, good feelings. I can just look at him…and can’t help but smile! He makes me the happiest girl in the world with just the little things he does, and some of the things he says just melts my heart. He means the world to me y’all…it’s like I can’t explain to y’all just how much he means to me and how much I love him! It’s the funniest story on how it happened though…you see I’m not the one to EVER say “I love you” first regardless, but I don’t know, it was different this time. Zack and I had been argueing one day about something (not even important now) but any who, we were fighting. Well I had the bright idea to tell him because life is too short to not tell someone how you feel, so I was like today’s the day. So I text him and was like “I need to talk to you…in person.” Well of course you know that threw him for a loop and he was freaking out on me! He called and he was like what’s up babe? What’s wrong?! I was like nothing…I just need to talk to you. Well he gets up here, nervous as ever lol and I start to get a little nervous too. I almost chickened out, but he needed to know howw I felt and I just couldn’t keep it to myself any longer. We get face-to-face…and I can feel my heart racing. Then, I just said, it doesn’t matter to me whether you say it back or not, but I need you to know that I love you! I sighed….he just smiled. He was like I drove all the way up here thinking you was about to break up with me then later that night, me and a friend had went to his house to hang with him and his friend. Well as soon as we get there Zack was like I need to talk to you, lets take a walk. So I was like out, yet a little confused. Well we start walking and then he looked at me, and was like you know I love you too right?! And I was just in shock. Tickled pink! I’m crazy about him…oh and guess what?! He also told me that night that he wass going to stay at Northeast another semester! Y’all just don’t know how excited I was to hear that. So now him and I are at school together once again this semester. We even have a class together! This is going to be a great semester already…I just know it!

Catch me next time! xoxoxoxo

so here lately…

so how was everyon’s Christmas?  great i hope…mine on the other hand was just ok. don’t get me wrong, i love Christmas, but this one was a little sad for me. it was the first Christmas me, Shanna, and RJ have not been together. i was a little bummed…opening presents just wasn’t the same. the whole atmosphere at my house just wasn’t the same without them two here with me. but on the plus side, i got a lot of good stuff this year lol! like money! sleep is my first love, but i really like me some money too lol! and i got some new pj’s too…so i was stoked! and my boyfriend had to have given me the best present (not to mention the most expensive probably) a Columbia jacket! yeah i know…wow! you know he spent some money…a whole lot of money. But he also have me this picture of me and him. he is too sweet! i love this picture of me and him. it was darling for him to have even thought of the idea to do that, and i’m so happy that he did because now it sits in a frame right next to my bed. so he is the first thing i see in the morning, and the last thing i see before i fall asleep. if i haven’t told you already, him and i are doing great! i have been an emotional rollercoaster though because he is leaving soon. yeah, he is transferring to UaH. i’m beyond happy for him don’t get me wrong, but just the thought of not getting to see him roamming around Northeast next semester makes me sad. i know he isn’t going too far but still…

oh! i’m taking a little road trip this weekend. yep, i’m going to see my family in atlanta. i’m pretty pumped! i didn’t get to go down there this summer, so i just had to ask off some time during this break to make sure i seen their beautiful faces lol! i talked to them and they are just as excited as i am about me coming lol! it’s going to be such fun. i’ll be sure to let you know how everything goes.

me and one of my best friends casey went shopping too by the way! man i love the after Christmas sales lol! they are SO great! her and i got lots of good stuff. a woman can never have too many clothes. plus my Christmas money was burning a whole in my pocket lol.

any who…i’m about to do what i love doing…SLEEPING! lol so just catch me next time~

xoxoxoxo

work!work!work!

ahh…the holidays! don’t we just love the holidays?! ev eryone is just in the spirit…happy-go-lucky, what could possibly go wrong during this time of year? SIKE! people get vicious is what they get, especially in a grocery store. they wanna complain about us being out of that certain item they just can’t do christmas dinner without, or they want to argue with the cashier that something rang up wrong. i’m telling you…some people there is just not pleasing. and to top off my holiday spirit…i’m forced to work! AHHH! it’s times like this that make me dread the holiday season. yes i know i shouldn’t be so negative, but you try working in a grocery store the week of christmas. i don’t understand why people don’t plan ahead?! see, if they did, then they wouldn’t be so stressed having to go to the store the day before their precious dinner. that’s just my opinion though….take it how you please.

other than that…i’m trying to find the time to finish up my shopping. i know i know! how dare i wait til the last minute?! well, that’s just me if you haven’t already noticed. i always tend to put things off as long as i can (or at least until i have no other option but to do whatever it is lol). and i am loving this whole “sleep thing”! you just have no idea how much i love to sleep. plus, being stress-free from school has really brightened my days too!

i hate to cut this short, but i have some things i need to do! catch me next time!

~MERRY CHRISTMAS~

How can one word make me cringe?!

FINALS! That one word knows how to literally mess someone up without laying a hand on them! I hate finals…I swear it should be declared a curse word or something lol. People start freaking out and all that jazz when the word “final” comes around….craziness! I so can’t wait to get this semester over with.

Besides finals coming up…like tomorrow, we just had 2 p host events back-to-back. Talk about adding some more stress on me, not to mention some pain on my feet lol! I’m glad we got them out of the way though; I’m telling you I had been dreading them for a while now. AHHHH! the Snow Ball was the day after our lovely p host events. It was tons of fun and I had the hottest date lol (my boyfriend)! Everyone who went seemed like they were enjoying themselves.

Any who…I have a killer final tomorrow in economics , then 2 finals on tuesday in political science and sociology, and my lit final on wednesday…then I’M DONE!!!!!  But you know what comes after this next week…I have to finish up on my Christmas shopping. It’s one of those bitter sweet things, because it’s so much fun to shop, but it stinks when you have to calculate your money to make sure you have enough for everyone’s present. I can’t wait though! I love to shop…regardless lol!

Catch me next time!
