Facebook inspired 100th post.

So I was browsing facebook the social networking site that I think is way better than myspace. I love to read what people write in their profiles about what intersts they have it's great fun you should try it sometime. Anyhow I was reading profiles of friends and friends of friends and I noticed a rather silly trend among college girls. When they enter a relationship with someone they change their interests to simply say the name of their significant other. For instance the one that caught my attention was the girlfriend of a friend of mine. I looked at her interests and all it said was Colt with a little heart beside it. I started looking at other profiles and I noticed a lot of that. It really made me laugh! No offense to you Colt or your girlfriend. As flattering as it may be to think that your girlfriends only interest is you I have to think that there has to be something more that you find interesting in this life. I mean we all know you are interested in your boyfriend as it plainly states that the two of you are in a relationship. This brings up an interesting question. Do your interests really change because you start dating someone new? Do you try to match up to what you think they like? I don't know I think in younger daters this tends to be the case. We want our boyfriend or girlfriend to keep liking us so we develope a sudden interest in Action movies or sports or a certain type of music just so that you have something in common. Among the older college students and young adult daters perhaps one will develope a sudden interest in religion or politics or something of that nature just to catch the attention of a certain member of the opposite sex. I would like to think that I am independent enough to not act like this (of course this could explain my lack of a dating life) I don't want to have to change who I am or change the things I am interested in just to keep someones attention. Of course I realize that dating someone can open new doors that add to your interests. A certain hobby that you never thought about before or perhaps a different view on an issue. However I don't think anyone should instantly change what they are interested in just because they are dating someone and you certainly shouldn't lose all your other interests in life just because you have a significant other.

Of course this is all just my opinion and this post was inspired by facebook so develope your own opinion on the issue!!

And by the way this is my 100th post GO ME!!

Welcome to the blogoshpere Jerald and Ashley!!!

So I want to take a second and welcome two of my very dear friends into the wonderful world of blogging!!! First off there is Jerald he started his blog a while back but didn't have time to keep up with it. He's starting to post more regularly now and I have added him to my blog roll. He is madly in love with God and has some great thoughts to share!

Secondly is one of my best college buddies Ashley. She is a crazy girl who also loves God. It's nice to have a friend that fits into both the church and college category of friends. Come to think of it Ash is the only one!!! Although we do have another friend joining the ranks soon as Shane is coming to UAM WOOHOOO!!! I have a lot of church friends and I have a lot of college friends but it's nice when a friend fits into both places!!! Anyway go check out their blogs I'm sure they have some great things to say.

So welcome Jerald and Ashley!!!!!

Love you guys bunches!!!!

Us College Kids an our digital camera's. . . the results of boredom in a dorm room. . . .or a. . crosswalk.

I was browsing facebook earlier and I found myself laughing at some of the crazy pictures me and some of my friends have taken. Most of us have digital camera's and we often find ourselves playing with them to ease our boredom. One would think that us intelligent college kids could find something better to do. Anyway I thought I might share a few of my favorite silly pictures.

The RA's like to have fun with the camera at the end of the year!

So hanging out the windows of the dorm is so against the rules but I wasn't there so. . .

We had a snow day!!!!! (in the middle of March!)

I wasn't there I have nooo idea what she was thinking

I made a pretty snow angel!!!!

The RA's enjoying Christmas break!

She thinks her name is Wendy!!

We had 80's week in the dorms. Yes I put pink in my hair! I even went to Wal-mart like that LOL!!

I was trying for sexy? LoL we took one of me standing in front of a poster that said Bodacious but I liked this one better.

I think we are in Wendys here and I was bein retarded.

All the residents moved out that day we were happy!!!

Well I hope y'all enjoyed my crazy pictures! I'm looking forward to another year full of them!!! I'll be sure and share!!

Love you!!!

My Life as A College Student

I absolutely LOVE campus life! I use to think I would hate it but it has been one of the best times of my life! I have made so many good friends since moving into Royer Hall. Now that I'm an RA I get to meet even more of the lovely ladies that live in Royer with me. The group picture is of all of the RA's and the GA that live in Royer. JJ the one sitting down graduated this spring and we sure are going to miss her :( We have a fun girl named sarah taking her place and she seems like she will be a great addition to the Res Life staff. The other picture is of me and my buddie Lo Lo. She was my roommate last fall before I got the RA job and moved into a private room. I LOVE YOU LO LO! Can't wait to see you when I get back this fall. Anyway I just thought I would share some of my on campus experiences with y'all. The pictures at the bottom of the page are just random events around campus from last year.
