Weekend Recap

    This past weekend was fun filled and with the week I was having, I needed it. Before I get into my weekend, let me fill you in on my week. Coming back from Labor Day weekend, I couldn't find my groove again. Assignments started to pile up and I couldn't keep up. Not only was my classwork piling up, my workload was also getting slightly more demanding. With different events coming up within the Law school, I had to make new promotional posts for all of them. When working with multiple organizations, everyone wants a say in how their posts turn out, which turns into multiple communications back and forth, ultimately dragging the review process on. Making posts can be really simple, however, it becomes hard when people are not providing you with the content that you need. On top of my school work and workload, my work for my position as the vice president of recruitment has picked up as well. Recruitment rounds officially begin next Thursday, meaning we are working out all of the small details. We have our last informal event this Saturday, so we are finishing up planning and hoping for a good turnout.
    Since I have filled you in on my week let's move onto the fun stuff, the weekend. Most Friday nights in Ada are very laid back, so I was not expecting much. I put on a very comfy outfit and made my way over to my friends' house. Like I had expected, it was a very small gathering of our good friend group which is sometimes my favorite kind of gatherings. We stayed at their house a majority of the night and eventually moved to another house. While my friends' house was a very lowkey group, the new house was the complete opposite. It was nice hanging out there for a little while, but I ended up leaving shortly after we arrived because I was ready to lay in bed. Saturday morning rolled around and I was feeling good. Some girls from my sorority and I decided that we were going to go golfing. If you know me, you may know that I have never golfed a day in my life. However, we headed to the course and we had a blast. It took us a while to get the hang of things, but eventually we found a rhythm. I ended up shooting a 53 on nine holes, which I was not mad about for my first time ever playing. We got in the car and headed back to Ada for our Saturday night.
    Once I was ready to go, I headed over to my friends' house ready to start the night. This night was the complete opposite of the previous one. With such good weather, everyone wanted to stay outside for the party, leaving a sea of people. The party had been going on for about two hours when the police pulled up. I have never seen a group of people clear out of a party faster. Being 21, I just stood back and watched the chaos erupt. The police had told us there was a noise complaint, so we closed up and everyone left. I went over to another party for a short amount of time, but ended up back in my bed by midnight. All night I had felt fine, it was the second I hit my pillow when I got the spins. From this moment on, I knew it was going to be a long night. "Sunday Morning Scaries" are totally real my friends, but not enough to scare me away from doing the same thing this weekend.

Until next time XOXO,

Hallie

T-Swift Year!

     This past weekend, I officially had my last birthday in college. I turned 22 years old this past Friday. While this isn't a milestone birthday like turning 18 or 21, I still wanted to make it memorable. Lucky for me, with my birthday falling on a Friday I had the whole weekend to celebrate.     Friday's typically are very relaxed for me in general because I don't have classes. I woke up to all my family members texting me wishing me a happy birthday. I started the day off by getting ready to go to the gym. I've made going to the gym a big priority in my life. Not only because it helps me feel good about myself, but also because it's something I enjoy. It's always nice going to the gym early in the morning because it's usually empty or only has a few people in it. Luck was on my side because I had an empty gym all to myself. I went about my workout and then headed home to get ready for work. I know what you're thinking, "Hallie, why would you go

Gym Grind

     I've never been one to actually workout. All my life, I've been involved with athletics, whether it be basketball, volleyball or cheer, I was always active growing up. Once sports started to get more serious, I decided to stick with volleyball during my time in high school. With summer conditioning, open gym and summer leagues, it's fair to say I was in great shape for my age. Come senior year, I injured my back while playing and was told to stop playing in order for it to heal properly. Deciding to stop playing was one of the hardest decisions I had to make, but I knew if I wanted to continue being active at all I should listen to the doctors and put a pause on my activities. Since then, I tried to stay active in a variety of ways, from walking around campus to running in the gym. It wasn't until this past year that I started to really dedicate myself to the gym.     I was going through a pretty rough breakup and fell out of love with myself. I really didn't l

Back to Reality

     All good things must come to an end, break has ended. While break was a week long, it still doesn't feel like we had enough time. From the moment I arrived at home, it had been "go go go." It feels like the only time I truly spend at home is when I'm sleeping each night. Let me take you through where my chaotic week has taken me, starting with Friday when I arrived.     Immediately after unpacking the car, I had to turn right around and pick my mom up from work. My mom had just gotten a new car, so she left it at the house for me to pick her up in. I was nervous driving because it was all so new I didn't want to ruin anything. After getting her from work, we ran to some of our favorite stores: HomeGoods, TJ Maxx and Marshalls. After window shopping and picking up some small items, we ended our night with a pizza from our favorite place, Carmela's. Saturday morning, my brother, mom, dad and myself went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast because it was my brot
