I think it's high time I stick with a schedule.
So... From now on, you can expect posts every Saturday. I feel as if I can stick to the schedule this time, especially since I don't do very much on Saturdays. You guys have all rights to virtually chastise me for not posting if I happen to forget that hey, it's that time of the week.

One would think that because I haven't posted in a couple of weeks that I would have plenty of amazing things to share. Sadly, the opposite is true, unless you find the thought of me ripping my hair out at the thought of all of my assignments riveting. I had always heard that college was so much easier than high school because students have so much more independence in regards their studies.
However, I'm slowly learning that in all actuality, a college freshman - especially one that comes from a public school - must learn that the professors are not going to remind him or her to stick to a schedule and should keep track of when assignments are due *gasp* by themselves. It's no wonder my to-do list is haunting my nightmares.
And I suppose that I should mention my reason for not getting this post up last week. Honestly, I had all sorts of opportunities over the course of the week, and I really wanted to share something with you! Let's just say that it's impossible to blog when you constantly feel as if you're ready to curl into a ball in your room and die.
Last Friday, I fell victim to a nasty cold that seemed to have been spreading like wildfire across campus. I'm still not sure if it was because the weather in Mississippi is so inconsistent, and my body couldn't keep up... Or if it was because my immune systems sucks so much that simply eating from the same can of Pringles as Josh (who had been getting over a cold at the time) was deemed an opportunity for disease to rear its ugly head.
Either way, the weekend was a blur of countless hours of sleep, pounding headaches, fuzzy vision, and what seemed to be an endless search for medicinal relief. Luckily, between Triston (a psychology major with dyed black hair and an odd infatuation with Miley Cyrus) and Karis, I was stocked with enough medicine for weeks. I can't tell you how many cough drops I sucked on or how many cups of orange juice I drank in an attempt to rush myself back to health.
I'm still in shock about the fact that they gave me so much out of the kindness of their hearts. I've... never had that happen before. I'm not sure if it's because nobody wants to be sick away from home and can't be taken care of or merely because people just have kind enough hearts to help someone in need.
It feels nice, though.
I'm happy to be able to say that I have great friends that are more than willing to help in a time of need. It's just another reason why I enjoy being a student at Belhaven, I suppose.

To make up for the lack of interesting posts, I am working on a couple of ideas that I hope to be able to show you in the next couple of weeks. Please bear with the overwhelmed college student as she treads a sea of papers and finals before the sweet relief of the holidays.

UPDATE (11/27/2013): I thought I was done suffering, but something out there is watching and laughing at me as it wreaks havoc on my body. I seem to have picked up a case of pink eye, although in its beginning stages, it's hard to tell. All I know is that my eye is really red and in pain. If it starts spewing gunk, I'm going to cry. I CAN'T HANDLE THIS BEFORE FINALS.
