This was one of the best weekends ever! It was jam packed full of fun. I love college life.
On Friday I hung out with my boyfriend, Scott, for the afternoon – we just watched a movie and hung out. It was nice to just unwind from the week and rest up for what would prove to be a busy weekend! Then I watched Grey’s Anatomy with some girls since we missed it on Thursday. We always have a great time just being together and watching the drama that is Grey’s Anatomy. It’s less about the show, and more about just being together as friends for us – what a great time!
Friday night was LIVE BAND KARAOKE! Me and another friend, Hannah, planned this event for our campus and it came off wonderfully. We hired a band called “the Hootennanies” and they played while we sang! We had over 150 people come to the event and we were all singing and having fun from 10pm-1am. It was awesome to see people laugh and have a good time. It was wonderful to let loose and just sing our hearts out! After that me and 5 friends went to the Flying J truck stop where we go late at night a lot of times and we just laughed a lot. It’s a random place to go and talk late at night that's less than 10 minutes from campus and open 24 hours a day.
On Saturday I slept in then went around and enjoyed the excitement of having lots of little kids on campus. This was "Little Sibs Weekend" at Bluffton, so there were lots of people with little ones running around. My hall was having a big volleyball game, Student Senate had a putt-putt course, MCB has a rock wall, etc. It was awesome to see people hanging out with their little sibs and having a good time.
Then I got ready and me and Scott went with another couple to Fort Wayne where we met two other couples that Scott knows from home. We had a nice dinner out then went and played games at my house. It was so awesome for the eight of us to just have a good time together and I got to know some great new people. We got back to campus really late and Scott and I just hung out for awhile. Then, it was time for round two of the Flying J! I went again with three of my friends to catch up on the events of the day for everyone.
This morning I got up and went to Church with Scott and two other couples at a Church that I hadn’t been to before. It was a really nice church and a great way to start this beautiful day. The rest of the day I’ve just been out walking with friends and enjoying the sunshine. I went with my fellow hall staff members out to dinner to bond as we approach the end of the year.
Tonight I’m going on a couple of more walks to enjoy the crazy warm weather! Woo hoo!
Overall, I think I could say this was the best weekend ever! I love being with friends and Scott and meeting new people and walking outside and playing games and laughing and enjoying the sunshine, and, and, and...
I hope you’re enjoying sunshine too.
Until next time – make sure you smile a lot :)
