I just read a post from Coffee With Clark about the end of the semester and it really made me think not only about graduating but hopefully leaving something behind at UCO. I hope that when I graduate I will be proud of my education. Lots of people make fun of UCO but we really do succeed in many areas, just not ones that are as recognized by people. They are more likely to be impressed with a great medical school or engineering. But UCO has great nursing, teaching, accounting and journalism programs!

I can't wait to see how UCO grows!

And to be a proud Alumni!

Flowers.

I recently received a gift from a bridal shower, a small pot of flowers... and believe it or not, a dorm room is not the best environment for them to flourish. They are so pretty and I really want to keep them alive so I can have them in my apartment! 


I move in next week, anyone have any tips on how to keep them alive and help them grow?

Snow Patrol

Snow patrol is a band from Ireland who released an album earlier this year after some time off!
I am a pretty loyal fan so I bought the album without previewing much of it and I am pretty happy with what they did on this album! This is one of my favorite songs they have on the album:

Although there are no lyrics, it stays true to their style as a band, much like the rest of the album! Which is why I am so happy with it, they aren't only trying to sell, they are trying to sell their style. That's cool.

Home Cookin'...... Almost

So Edmond just got a Chicken Express recently (for those of you who don't know what that is, its a delicious friend chicken, southern cookin' restaurant). There has been one in my hometown of Mustang, OK but that was the closest one I knew of.... until recently!

I made my first stop at the Edmond location last night and I am happy to say that it's just as good as the one in Mustang! Good, quick service and of course.... great friend chicken!

It's located just west of Danforth and Kelly, go try it out!  

Another Great Jam!

Bon Iver's cover of "I Can't make You Love Me"

Doesn't matter if you're single, dating, engaged or married...

It's a wonderful song to listen to!

Making it work.

It's been a crazy semester with more changes in a week than I know what to do! But in the midst of all the change there is always something to be learned! Some of the things I have learned this semester are:

1. It's good to have a couple best friends, but when too many people are in your business it is harder to keep the private things private.

2. No matter how busy you are, make time to try something new or do something for yourself! (like yoga!!!)

3. Be open to change and go with the flow... When life is hectic all you can do is see what each day brings and learn from it.

New Music.

Just discovered this girl, she's a songwriter from the UK who started making her own music!

She's so good, and her voice is so different!
