In my First Year Experience, a class for freshman to make the transition easier, we are making a video of our first semester in college. Although this class seems quite pointless sometimes, it has fun projects! So we have been searching throughout our entire campus trying to record different Freshman and get their comments on their first semester. I mentioned me being a first generation student, and there is a special organization for students who are first generation to be apart of. The Center for Student Enrichment, CHE, is the program that gathers UNC's first generation kids to enroll in classes together and make college a lot more fun! This video is through my CHE First Year Experience class. We took this picture to show how awesome CHE can be! :D In other words, "If you join CHE, you too can have a fun time jumping around the hallways of UNC!" haha, hopefully I can upload the final video on here! You guys can see what I've been doing for the past couple of days! :P

We're FRESH, Man!

Stop Stealin'
November 13, 2009
In my Residence Hall we have free laundry! Which is awesome, because at most Universities you have to pay like $1.50 per load. I’m very thankful to have free laundry; however, people are so ghetto in this hall! I have a terrible memory; about two weeks ago after I put a load in I realized that I left my fabric softener downstairs. I turned right around to go grab it and guess what? It was GONE! I was so upset because hey, that stuff is like four dollars a box! Considering I’m a college kid, four bucks adds up! Yesterday I got done putting my whites in the washer, and I was in my room for two minutes when I realized that I left my bleach in the laundry room. I literally ran downstairs, and guess what? GONE! I was so livid at this point. Come on, guys! Don’t steal my stuff! :(

Daylight Savings & Snow Days
I love Daylight savings so much! Here on campus it’s so nice because we ALL get an extra hour of sleep, which make our days happier! I have come to realize that everyone was right when they said I would get less sleep in college! In high school I would go to bed at like 10 and wake up at 6. I’ve always been a morning person. But now in college it is SO hard to make it to my 8 o’clock class. Especially now that it’s cold outside! It has been snowing so much, which is awesome.
Speaking of snow, last week there was a snow day! It was so awesome; everyone was stuck in the dorm so we were running around. 98% of people in my dorm had not showered before 6 o’clock at night; I promise. All of my professors live out of town; which is weird. Their commute from Boulder or Fort Collins would have been horrific had they tried to make it to class. I’m always thankful for snow days and daylight savings! :D

Cover Up Your Lumps!
Halloween is tomorrow! I really have no big plans, because I’m not your typical crazy college kid! Last night my hall had a Halloween dance party! I was Mario! So I would just like to take the time to discuss the ridiculously revealing outfits girls today wear. I mean, come on! We have turned Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz into this prostitute with red, glittery stilettos. I was reading articles about how Halloween costumes are getting worse throughout the years, and I really think they are. We now have provocative costumes for girls who are only 8 years old! We need to cover up the lady lumps because that is how sexual assault charges are pressed on this holiday. Come on ladies! :D
