I love you mucho.

Weekend Update | Halloween

I SUBMITTED MY PAPER!

Sorry, I just had to get that out of the way.

I've come to the realization that I'm not a very good blogger. All I've posted for the past like month, maybe two, are weekend updates. I pinky promise to do another post this week, really. 

This week has been totally crazy, and for the first time it's not because of school or work. Don't get me wrong, those were really busy too. This week was busy for purely social reasons.

I don't consider myself a social butterfly. In fact, I much prefer staying in and sleeping haha, but with it being a holiday weekend, I thought I should get out of my homebody rut and just go out. 

I'm following my vision board, mom.

Let me give you a breakdown of my weekend:

Thursday

• Turned paper in
• Ran errands for internship 
• Charming Charlie GNO at Sooner Corral & Campus Corner 9:30pm -2am

Friday 

• Slept in until 10:30am
• Worked out
• Charming Charlie 5pm - 9pm
• Campus Corner with friends 9:45pm - 2am

Saturday 

• Charming Charlie 10:30am -3:30 pm
• Worked wedding 4 -11pm
• BFF's Halloween party 11:45pm - 2am

Sunday

• Charming Charlie 8am-12pm
• SLEPT

My costumes were totally subpar. I didn't even have one Saturday night. People kept asking me what I was supposed to be and all I wanted to say was, "a tired college intern" haha

To say I'm tired would be a GIANT understatement. But, I kinda love it. I know these are the things that I'm going to remember when I'm 50. 

For now, though, I'm totally happy to go back to my normal self and relax at home :)

Weekend Update

Oh, hi there.

So uh... yeah. Who's the worst blogger ever? That would be me.

No excuses this time. I just simply did not feel like writing anything. Nope. 

It's at this point in the semester where days and weeks start to melt together. For example, on Friday I was fully convinced it was Saturday. 'Twas not.

My focus and energy is 110% going towards school and work. Trying to keep my head above water. If I stop for a second to breath, I know I'm gonna lose all motivation. I just gotta keep truckin' along and I will eventually make it to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Lately I've been doing my homework in the new basement of the library. Have you been there? It's really nice. There's tons of tables and comfy chairs and CHARGERS. OMG y'all, why has it taken this long for them to put more charger stations in? 

My only complaint is that the Starbucks down there doesn't accept my Starbuck's account as a method of payment. Yup. The first day I got coffee there, I went to scan my phone and the dude was all, "Oh, sorry... you can't use that here." 

I know my face said it all. How dare you, coffee dude, deny me the use of my Starbucks card to purchase the coffee that will give me life today.

Mind you, it was 8 am. If you know me personally, you know I'm not pleasant before... like... 10 am. So poor coffee dude got a nice little bitch face bright and early.

The whole point of me talking about the library is to poke fun at the freshman who think they are busy. HAHAHA. Oh, freshman. You are so sweet. Please tell me more about how Intro to Psych is killing you and how you really wish you could go home, since it's been a whole two weeks.

This has been a very sassy post... my apologies. 

To make up for my absence, I really tried to use a lot of fun gifs to make it more interesting for you to read! I hope it helps a little bit.

I'm not sure when you will hear from me again, friends. I'm entering "20 page paper due Thursday" mode, so communication with me shall be slim. But don't fret, I'll update you about how that process goes soon :)

Weekend Update | OU/TX Weekend

BOOMER SOONER

Ok, so that's out of the way.

As every single on of you know, this past weekend was OU/TX.

Or TX/OU for those silly Texans.

Thankfully, OU pulled out a win! It might not have been the prettiest win ever, but I am no complaining, no sir. I'm pumped!!! And for my last year as a student?? Nothing says "happy graduation" like us kicking some nasty Longhorn bootay!

You know, it's crazy to think that this was my last OU/TX as a student. I've been fortunate enough to be able to attend every game that I've been a student here. Every year, I'm excited, obviously. But this year, I got a little emotional! This was my last game as a student... next year, I'll be an alumni. 

Excuse me while i go cry in the corner.

Seriously, talk about #transformationtuesday

That's a whole other blog post.

From the beginning, I made this blog to reflect on my senior year, as an online journal kind of... I want to be able to look back and remember all the crazy, fun and stressful things that happened. The totally awesome moments that made my stomach hurt from laughing & the sentimental things that hit my heart a bit more.

Well, I want to put this blog post in bold. I want to remember my last OU/TX. The stadium... The fair & food... The people I went with... Singing the Alma Mater... The laughs & giggles... Everything. I know that in 20 years, geez in 5 years, I'm going to want to relive this weekend over and over again.   

However, I feel like I have a week's worth of sleep to catch up on. I may turn into a zombie like the walkers in Walking Dead...

Terrible segue alert

Tonight is the season premiere of the Walking Dead!! OMG guys. As I'm typing this, I'm watching the premiere and HOLY CRAP. It's not even 10 minutes in and I'm totally grossed out yet totally enthralled. 

If there's typos, that is why. 

Before I go further, I have to say my roommate introduced me to the show. She was binge-watching it sophomore year, so I joined her one day... and I never looked back. In fact, she nearly killed me because I started watching the episode she had paused without her being there... 

But now, it's the final season and I couldn't be happier!! Oh guys, it's just came back from commercial, so I'm gonna let you go now. Thanks for reading this update and I hope you have the bestest week ever.

xo.

Midterms & Rivalries

Yes, hi... hello.

I am alive, please don't worry. 

Midterms -1 

Kelsey - 0

Apologies about my absence. But, classes trump blog... 

However.

If it's fall... and its midterms... that means one thing, folks:

RED RIVER RIVALRY

Hell yeah, baby.

I'v been lucky enough to be able to attend the Texas State Fair & OU/TX game every year. Honestly, it's my favorite thing... I'm pretty excited to go. And this year, I'm staying with friends instead of family, so that's gonna be fun and different. 

#saxetsucks

Before we part ways, I want to showcase some STUNNING pictures my photographer mom took of my best friend and me last week!

Is it bad to call pictures with you in them stunning?

Whatever, they're amazing. Shout out to my mom for totally kicking butt and making my little idea a reality. I know that in 20 years, I'm gonna really cherish these pictures. Here are my favorites:

#myBFFisgorgeous

As always, thanks for reading. I hope you survived your week, if it was bad. If not, well then congrats on not getting any stress zits. I envy you.

The Roommate Tag

Oooooo I'm excited about this post, y'all.

Instead of the weekend update, I have something a lot more fun!

I've had the same roommate all four years of college. I would say we need each other preeetttty well.

We've both ugly cried in front of the other. There's nothing more to hide.

I thought it would be fun to test our knowledge with the roommate tag! Some people post videos on YouTube, but I don't quite think I'm ready for that commitment yet. 

Instead, we printed out the questions and wrote our responses to them. 

Things to take into consideration:

• Both of us should have been studying/writing a paper. 

#procrastination 

• Giving the other a hard time is how we show affection
• We really do love each other, kinda. 

We seriously had so much fun doing this haha we were laughing the entire time! If you have a roommate you should totally do this with them.

Weekend Update

I guess since this is the second Sunday in in a row that I'm posting about my week, I should give it a formal name. I now present to you:

*Drum roll pleeeeasssseeee*

The Weekend Update

If you said "oooooooo... aaahhh" in your head, I give you 100 cool points.

Well, I can tell you that the stress of last week is not going anywhere, any time soon. I think it's gonna be hanging around for a bit... and by bit I mean all semester.

The thing is, when you look at it on paper the computer, it doesn't seem like my life should be too stressful!

1. 15 hours class
2. 15 hours at work/week
3. Internship (stay at home)

But my Lord, when everything comes together it's like...

STRESS

No one told me senior year was this stressful. Not a single soul. 

I blame you.

JK.

But really.

In all seriousness, this week was a good week. I started my new internship as social media manager for a local wedding planner, I rocked out two papers & quiz and even fit in time to hang out with some friends!

My god-dog, Mazy Mae

Now, I am gonna just breeeeeeeze over the emotional breakdown I had Monday, because no ones likes reading about that stuff.

But, I will mention the awesome care package my mom sent me :)

#mymomisbetterthanyours

I'm gonna sign off now and write my literature review for PR research. And my Crisis Vulnerability Assessment for Crisis Communication. 

Stop. Don't. I know you're jealous.

Until next time,

I couldn't resist. 

xo.
