October so Far

I know I went AWOL for a while but I’ve been really busy lately and needed to take a break from everything unrelated to school. This semester is definitely the hardest I’ve had in college yet and I’m not particularly fond of most of my classes. The one class I do enjoy, PR Writing, is for my major and is still pretty time consuming. I do have a couple things I’ve been meaning to post on so over the next few days there might be a surge of updates!

Not too much has happened since I last posted, but here is a little update on my life:

Parents Weekend was a few weeks ago and my mom and dad came down for my sorority’s Parents Cocktail and the football game vs. SC State. Parents Weekend is the one time a year when my mom visits (my dad has moved me in and out almost every year) so it is always fun to introduce her to my friends and sisters. They spent the next week after in Myrtle Beach but I got to go home for fall break! As you probably know from how I’ve talked about Megan before, I love my sister to death and would do anything to get to spend more time with her. I spent almost a week back in Arlington and the time flew by. I packed my schedule full of lunches, happy hours, shopping and catching up with Meg’s and my friends. I even caught a Caps game and went apple picking! It was a great week and I’m getting pumped to go home again for Turkey Break!

Last week was Homecoming and we played Vanderbilt on Saturday. Vandy was a big game for us because they have beaten us the past two years even though we should have won both times! Not gonna lie, it’s hard to be a Carolina fan sometimes. Also, my cousin Billy is my age and goes to Vandy so it’s a little rivalry between us. Luckily my gamecocks pulled it together and we won 14-10! It was also a great day because I got to see a lot of old friends who have graduated but came back to Columbia for the weekend.
Also, ADPi & SigEp won the homecoming float competition. We were even featured on ESPN! They did a segment on homecoming week at different schools and whenever they come to Columbia they love to mention how our Greek Life is huge here (they often show areal shots of the Greek Village, etc.). They talked about how involved Greeks are with Homecoming and showed our winning float on the segment.

Like I said I'm going to try to get back to posting more regularly and there are a bunch of new posts coming in the next week. In the meantime, I hope you are all getting excited for Halloween!
