All Moved In

This is my first "official" blog post from my dorm room. Honestly this feels so surreal guys. I feel like just yesterday I was starting my freshman year of high school, but I'm starting college. Looks like it's back to the bottom of the food chain for this girl. 

But seriously I am sitting in my dorm room, DORM ROOM. After being on the road at 3 am this morning and a long 8ish hour car ride, we finally arrived in Nashville. We drove around for a bit until we needed to be on campus at 1 PM sharp. Let me tell you guys something, the way you are greeted by upperclassmen is outstanding and awesome and just makes you proud to be a Bruin. So my mom pulled the van up and there's all these students cheering and so some guy asked me for my name when I opened my door so naturally I was like "Katelyn" and then all of a sudden everyone started cheering for me and legitimately it brought tears to me eyes. I think right then and there it finally hit me that I left home. But the greatest part is that all the students carry EVERYTHING you brought and bring it too your room, which is amazing. Because honestly I packed a lot and walking up stairs carrying all of that stuff does not sound appealing to me. So I checked in and got my keys and student ID. Now let me say one thing, I literally do not look like myself in my picture. It is probably the worst photo ever taken of me, but whatever it is what it is I guess. So anyways, an RA led me to my room where all of my stuff was waiting for me and I was greeted by my awesome roommate Elizabeth and her family. They're literally some of the nicest people I've ever met. After the introductions and me realizing Wright Hall Room 304 is my new home for the next 9 months, my family and I unpacked everything and made my room look awesome! Oh and another awesome thing happened. So I wanted to loft my bed (raise it higher, particularly so my desk can fit under it) and these three guys walk into the room and they're like "we can do it for you." So they did. And it was awesome and they were super nice and it just made me feel proud to be going to such an awesome school. 

But as I type this, I am staring at roughly 50ish pictures hanging on my wall of all my friends and family. One of my favorites is the "Savers group photo." Looking at all the smiling, happy faces makes me miss work like a 1000x more. Then there's all my FGL pictures and I smile because I just love Tyler and BK, plus I get excited because they went and met at Belmont and it's just cool! I also love my pictures with my journalism team at good ole WEGO. It makes me think of all the good times we had in that class. Oh and then there's my JJ Watt picture I received from my cousin Melissa,and oh it is glorious to look at. I could stare at JJ and some of Houston's finest SWATT team members all day long! Overall I just love my pictures. They bring good memories to me and make me smile and realize that I'm never alone. 

I'm going to sign off now. I need to squeeze in a quick nap before I go party with my fellow Wright neighbors!
