My trip to North Carolina was quite an adventure, starting from the very beginning.

Upon arriving in Little Rock at 5:50am, Tom Tom and my wonderful sense of directions failed me miserably, and I realized I had no idea where the Little Rock airport was. Once I called (and woke up) my dad, I then realized I had no idea what airline I was flying. I took a guess, which ended up being wrong, but was right next to the gate I needed. I then realized I had forgotten to take note where I had parked my car, and let my phone charger in it. It was very early in the morning.

But, upon my arrival in Raleigh, it was nothing but good times! I reunited with my study abroad BFFs, learned how to west coast swing and shag dance, ate some good food, watched some good movies, saw my new apartment, and became acquainted with my new favorite beach: Wrightsville.

Plus, in regards to my flight from Raleigh to Cleveland (because Cleveland is on the way to Arkansas), I can honestly say I've never been on a flight with more children. If you want picture proof, ask the little girl in front of me who kept taking pictures of me when she thought I wasn't looking. Too bad they weren't all on the flight from Cleveland to Little Rock, because we got to see the firecrackers from River Fest from the plane. That's pretty cool way to end a cool weekend.

Upon further review, I am apparently incapable of holding my diploma straight.

At least I'm consistent with the tilt.

Happy Half-Birthday to meeee!

What I want to know is, do female clothes manikins really need nipples?

We've come a long way.

This Sunday I was showered with gifts from my oh-so-generous friends and family!

Here are the hostesses...
Erica made THE most beautiful cake I've ever seen! I think she has future customers for her catering business (even if its an unofficial one).


Plus, Olivia came from Kansas City, and Virginia hobbled from Memphis with a broken ankle. (Plus, Karen came from Texarkana, and Paula came from Benton, and my Mom from Russellville. It was quite the occasion!) We matched. We got the memo.

Plus, I learned a few things about Tim. For example, he wants 7 kids and feels like his best feature is his face. I suppose those are good things to know going into a marriage.

Well, I am officially done with my undergraduate career!

A few things I have learned in college at the University of Arkansas

1) Jason Blakenship is the most powerful person at the UofA. If you ever have a problem about anything, he can solve it IMMEDIATELY with one phone call. This does not happen anywhere else. If you do not go immediately to Jason, you will end up talking to five different people in six different places, and your problems still won't be solved.

2) There are four public staplers on campus. This is valuable information.

3) Blowdrying your hair can set off the fire alarm.

4) You probably don't have to read everything for your class.

5) The best time to email friends is while your are writing a paper.

And there are many more things that I'll add onto later!
