Party Rock is in the House Tonight!

Hey Hey Hey!


So I am completely in awe of the fact that I'm at 800 views! Woot Woot! It has taken me a while to get to this point, but I'm super excited. Hopefully I'll be at 1,000 soon. Here's a couple of updates for now!

Everyone on the bus, headed to the game!

1. Drake has new music...aigdadhfoigjiojasdgabbagabbagabba!! I am SUPER excited because I was starting to get just a little bored with Headlines. But that song is still great nonetheless! The first song, Club Paradise, is kinda chill and somber. It's more like the "new" Drake. The second song, Free Spirit featuring Rick Ross, sounds a lot like So Far Gone! Yay (: The final song, Waka Flocka's Round of Applause, which features Drake is....interesting to say the least. Drake's part goes real hard of course...but anything Waka Flocka is not so great (to say the least). Nevertheless, I'm super excited about Drake's newly released singles & extra pumped for "Take Care" (which comes out in 1 month & 12 days yay!)
2. First home football game of the year! Woot Woot! Unfortunately we lost, due to a last minute fumble & a sucky offensive line. I was seriously hoping that we would win this game. We lost by 3 points :( Three points! I had lots of fun with my friends though (I got to see my Patrice who I've missed sooo much) & next week's game should be a definite win :)
3. Party Party Party: So Friday night there was a hugeeeee frat party at the Delta Sigma house. There were sooo many people there. I had lots and lots of fun (: Then Saturday night we headed dt after the game. It was lots of fun! Two of my friends and I were at this club dt and they started playing LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem. My friend looooooves that song and immediately climbed up on a table & started shuffling. Well she shuffled too far to the right and fell off the table! Bahahahaha. The funny thing is that even though she fell and was wedged in between the table & seats, she was still singing and trying to shuffle. LOL! That was a very eventful night!
4. So Far, So Good: So far sophomore year is great! I'm meeting so many new people, my classes are terribly easy (they're my final core classes before I enter my major) & I'm just living it up! I think it has a lot to do with the building that I'm living in this year. Last year my building was filled with lots of Sorostitutes (except for Inverness Hall & the 9th floor!), but this year a lot of my friends live on my hall & everyone is super chill. Thank God for that!

Welp, that's literally everything that I've been up to! Hopefully more interesting exciting news will be posted later!

Five Things for Friday

Happy Friday Everyone! Today I decided to come home. I had some extra time on my hands so I decided to blog about five things that have been going on in my life this week :)

1. Farewell Football:
Saturday was the last game that I had a ticket for. Because the weather was so cold, I didn't wear a dress. Instead I wore a sweater and jeans. Because we had to get up early for the game, it was supposed to be cold. I figured that I would freeze my bootay off. However, I found that this game was the best college game yet! Since we weren't all dresed up, we were comfortable in our clothing. Plus it wasn't hot as Hades, so we weren't sweaty and uncomfortable. Thus, this game was soo much fun. Not to mention the fact that we won the game 55-7. It was a great way to end my football season 2010. I love winter football :) After the game me & my friends headed to the club. This party was hosted by both the Kappas and the Alphas so you already know there were fine boys galore! ;) After a night of dancing, getting hit on & gossip, I came home and crashed. I had a great day Saturday.

2. A Week of Culture:
This week there are many cultural events going on around campus. I'm a huge fan of learning about different cultures, so this was exciting to me. On Wednesday my friend Natalie & I went to Africa Night together. I have no idea what the names of the foods I ate were but it was yum. I had this spicy potato casserole, rice, these little crisp type things, and a flour like bread that had all sorts of spices in it. Tomorrow is Noche Latina, the Hispanic Student Association's night of Latin musical performances and Spanish food. I am so excited to have a piece of my Latin culture with me at school. On Sunday, I am going to an Indian Cultural program during which we will learn about henna and the ways that it is used around the world. Best of all we get free Indian food & henna!!!

3. Free Khalifa?
So it's bad enough that they already released that little cockroach Dwayne Carter from jail on Thursday (no offense to all of you fans out there, but I just cannot stand Lil Wayne). But on Monday (11/9)Wiz Khalifa was arrested for having 60 grams of marijuana on his tour bus. That's enough marijuana to be considered a smuggler. The Wiz man made a speedy return to freedom after posting $300,000 bond, but I doubt that that will be the last of his troubles. I mean the m an brags about buying $10,000 worth of weed per month in addition to creating his own line of rolling papers. Come on Wiz! Think of all of the beneficial things that he could do with $10,000 per month. That's more than 100,000 a year. You can help to feed starving children with that. It really saddens me that so many of these celebrities who have such a huge influence on today's teens get into such trouble for such ridiculous reasons. I am even more ashamed that one of my new faves has gotten in trouble for such a ridiculous reason. & to think that I was gonna go see him in concert two days prior to his arrest. smh

4. So Thankful to be Thankful:
Well there are about three more weeks of school left before the end of the semester and I cannot be happier. Don't get me wrong, I love college. I have made lots of new friends, I am learning so much about myself and my school work of course, and the parties have been great. But there are just some things from home that college can't offer. I miss my best friend who seems to understand me better than anyone else in this world. Even though we've had some rough spots in our friendship I've realized now that I've been away from her in my life that there are just parts of you that no one can understand as well as a bff. I miss my mom & my dad & my brother. I miss my warm, comfortable bed. lol. Basically I just need to go home for some r & r.

5. Deuces (Awe man, I should have made this number two)
So I know that I am sorta late reporting this, but the Deuces remix has got to be the most wonderful remix that I've ever heard. It's musical ingenuity..okay so not really, but it's pretty great. First of all, you know I'm going to love it because my future husband DRAKE is in it :) Plus it has three of my other fave rappers in it, Kanye West,T.I. and Andre 3000 (I used to loveeee OutKast). And it has Fabolous! I recommend that everyone give this song a try. Listen to it here.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Basketball!!!!

Happy Friday Everyone! Apologies for not blogging for the past two days. With that said, it's that time of the year again. The weather is cold. The days are shorter. We grab our coats & head straight to the game!

In my opinion college basketball>college football. I mean don't get me wrong. I loveeee football. However, high school football was all the more exciting to me. For one, my high school's football team won way more games than my college team has. Plus, high school football games were at night which was a definite plus. With college sports, the more games you win, the closer your game time is pushed toward 7pm (primetime, when everyone is watching). But when your school loses half of the games during its season, unfortunately all of your games will start at 12:00. So that means waking up at the crack of dawn to tailgate. Then on top of that at our school, the girls wear fancy dresses (like we're at some sort of horse race rather than a football game). We put on our makeup and get all dolled up to sweat in this 90 + degree southern heat. I had a dress/watch/sandal tan & it was not attractive. lol.

With that being said I love basketball. The game of basketball as a whole is so much more exciting than football. Football is such a slow paced sport. They move down several yards then take a break and this cycle goes on and on. But basketball is back & forth, back & forth. Plus my school's team is amazing! We won our game 85 to 48 versus ASU. It was almost sad because ASU was the school from my hometown. But it was amazing to see such a great win from my college!

Our basketball players are freaking amazing. They dunk the ball with almost no effort. Point after point was scored. Plus the game was soo exciting with all the players running back and forth. On top of our players awesome skills, I think that our dance team & cheerleading squad is amazing. They perform during every time out in addition to the half time performance. It was so crazy how they all just run out and do their routine in between plays. I know this sounds silly but you just have to see it. haha.

What made this game even more enjoyable was the fact that I got to see it with soo many of my friends. Usually I hang out with two different groups at school. But this time both groups sat together like one big happy family :) On top of that, my friend Jasmine, who is from my hometown surprised me and came to the game (bottom right). It was so great to spend my first game experience with all my friends from college with a friend from home.

Overall, my first college basketball game was amazing. I thought I loved high school basketball games, but college brings basketball games to a whole new level. Plus college basketball games are only $2. That makes it all the more better :)

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

xoxo,

Jackie :)
