Wine Wednesdays & Thirsty Thursdays

I look back and smile about all the memories I had my Freshman year. People weren't kidding when they said that first year would be the best. I didn't believe them, but now I do.

I loved the new people I was meeting. All the students my age were looking for a fun time, and nothing was stopped us. I can't say the same now.

I used to go out and hang out with friends Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night every week. Sometimes even more when I had a tough day or had a free night. 

Before Colton and I started dating I would go over to his house every Wednesday and Thursday to hang out and have a few. Those were the good old days.

Now, on a Thursday night, in my last semester of college all I want to do is lay in bed. I have no motivation to go out tonight. I don't know why...

Is it because I am getting older?

Because I am more responsible?

Because I have more to do?

Because my stomach feels a little upset?

I couldn't tell ya. 

Halloween Costumes this year!

Okay, we are all adults and Halloween is all fun and games when it comes to dressing up. This year I ran out of time to make a detailed super cute costume. The week of Halloween I went online and starting looking up some fun and different Halloween costumes. 

Night #1

I went as Regina George from the movie Mean Girls. A lot of girls knew exactly who I was but the guys didn't really know or care. I am the one on the right obviously.

Night #2

This one was my favorite one, however a little inappropriate. I found this costume on some lady's blog. I thought it was VERY funny and so did everyone else after I had to explain to them what I was. I'm sure you can tell  how itchy this costumer was. I went as the phrase "Good in the sack."

Resumes.

THE TIME HAS COME

I am slowly starting to look at job openings and internships for what I want to go into after I am done with college (which is 50 days!!!) and I have been coming across a few I don't think would hurt to apply for. I figure I will be done soon, maybe if they like me they will hold the position a little longer or maybe they are looking for someone to start around the time I am done. 

The only problem...

That means I need to have strong and good looking resume, which I don't have. I have been looking at a bunch of different websites to see how I am actually supposed to set up a resume, but they are all different. I don't know what exactly to put in my resume, what the sections should be, or how much information to put down, and so on. 

Anyone want to give me some helpful suggestions? PLEASE!

A REAL job!?

Now that I am close to the end of my education here at SMSU I need to start thinking about finding a big girl job.

People always made it seem like it was really hard to find that job that you want right out of college, and I really hope that isn't true... But so far it seems like everyone is right.

I have contacted a few people for helpful information on what to do or where to look for a job when I am done in December. I have got many answers but none of them are very promising. I am starting to panic. I don't want to be a server the rest of my life. I can barely stand working more than a weekend at the place I work at!

I NEED CHANGE AND I NEED TO START MY LIFE! 

But it is scary to think that I have to do this on my own. With no help from a professor or parent. I am pretty much on my own.

AND I AM TERRIFIED.

VEGAS BABY!

I recently got back from my weekend trip to Vegas. Let me say, it was a blast!

FRIDAY

We got to our hotel and went straight to the hotel's pool. At 7 a limo picked us up at our hotel and brought us to Downtown Vegas. I would have to say the limo ride was one of the top most things I enjoyed! Downtown was awesome too! It was very clean compared to The Strip and it was less crowded. 

SATURDAY

We went to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville pool party! There was a band and lots of fun people. We stayed here and drank here pretty much all day. At night we all got dressed and went out on The Strinp. We pretty much just went to a bunch of different hotels to see what they were like.

SUNDAY

We gambled the most this day. We watched the Vikings game at a bar and got ready for our flight.

I did forget to mention how much I actually gambled, I'll keep it short.

Becca= $-200

Vegas got the best of me. It was a nice get away though!

64 DAYS!

The countdown is on! I officially have 64 more days until I am no longer a college student! Right now, I am pretty excited about it! 

No more night class

No more homework

No more studying

No more excessive amounts of stress

The list could go on...

But there are also thing I know I will miss.

No more running into my friends I only see at school

No more getting into games for free

No more homecomings/Hawaiian night to look forward to

I don't know what I will like more, being in college or being done with college. I guess we will find out soon enough!

This can't be happening AGAIN!

I have been through three cars since I turned 16. Some might say I'm lucky. Others might say, wow your spoiled. But the truth is.....

I HAVE TERRIBLE LUCK WITH VEHICLES

For some reason engine problems always haunt me. The first car I had was a 2001 Volvo. That baby was FAST! I loved that car, but then the engine blew on me. We decided to get a different car instead of spending 2K on fixing it.

BUT THAT MEANT I GOT A NEW CAR!!

Then I got a 2001 Ford Focus. I had that thing for a month or two when I was in the cities and my key wouldn't turn over.... AT ALL. So I called my dad. Got a ride from my friend and the next day my dad had it towed home.. turns out THE ENGINE BLEW IN THAT ONE TOO..

This time we decided to fix the engine because we didn't want the same thing happening again. Well Diego lasted 2 more years or so, then a cylinder was shot. That would've costed around 2K as well.

Last spring I FINALLY found a car. A 2003 Nissan Altima. I hated the gold color at first, but I loved how it ran compared to my other cars.

Which brings me to today... I turned on my car and it was sputtering, or spitting, you would call it. Well I had to drive to school. The whole drive my check engine light was flashing and my car started to smell funny. Luckily I got it home fine after class.

I will no longer own a vehicle if this is an engine problem again. Wish me luck............
