So the night of my last blog post, I went to a party at one of the guys rugby apartment – with a theme of neon. I was wearing a crop top and high waisted shorts … Not too sure how secure I felt about my outfit but it was the only neon stuff I had. Last time this party was so crowded (I need to blog about that night tomorrow, very eventful) but this time it was a lot more intimate. Instead of crowded people pushing each other, we just had a bunch of people we knew. We started the night trying a dance party and then that fizzled out and we all just went in the back room and sat and drank casually. I ended up seeing Sean back there and he said hi and came over and sat next to me. We talked the whole entire night, literally the whole night and I found a lot about him and know him better now. I like him as a person and the conversation was easy. We left together and went to his apartment. He obviously wanted to have sex but I told him I wasn’t like that… I don’t wanna get hurt and have more respect for myself. He kept trying to convince me and then after I kept saying no, he stopped and apologized for trying to push it. I slept over (-___-) but it was cute. I was wearing all his clothes and he’s all muscular and hot so I did not mind it at all. Waking up I was like what the fuckkkkk but I wasn’t that drunk … Obviously knew what happened and I was happy I told him no. I had to do the walk of shame but I did it at like 730 so not too many people saw me. Jessica texted me with a picture of my empty bed asking where I was like poking fun. I had to tell her and she said she wasn’t mad but keeps jokingly calling me a back stabbing whore.. Like KEEPS though. It’s so excessive I don’t even know what to do. Last night we were talking again and she came in and saw us and gave us an evil eye and tweeted at me that I was a slut. Again, she’s joking but chill. Like Sean saw it and thought she’s freaking crazy. He said he doesn’t want to get involved so me and him might be done now :/ it sucks and it’s stupid but whateverrr. Hate this.

Syllabus week has been insane. We’ve kept up with the drinking every night (I’m so proud) and have been pretty crazy. Since all of us are all in apartments now, we have a lot of places to go..not only to pregame but also to party! It’s awesome. We pretty much have been going to the rugby boys’ apartments – which I enjoy… I love them and have a lot of fun with them. If you’re wondering about John and how it’s been with him, I’m proud to say that I’m completely over it. I’m so happy because I would feel so pathetic still worrying about him. After knowing there was tension with us and one of my best friends here, it just wouldn’t feel right and wouldn’t even be the same if I hooked up with him again. I just lost any and every interest. It’s great. Saturday night I semi- hooked up with another guy on the rugby team, Sean. He’s so hot but weird…in a funny way though. As you’ve probably picked up from my blogs, I’m weird as ish too so it works. He kept talking to me Saturday and we were together the whole night. The only problem is that my direct roommate is obsessed with him. Everyone knows it and it’s been going on for far too long. She makes it so obvious and he makes it obvious he doesn’t want her. I kept saying to Sean I can’t because of Jessica and he was getting so pissed because he doesn’t like her at all and they’ve never even hooked up. It’s weird how much she loves him but I don’t want to create any unnecessary tension between us, even though there shouldn’t be any since there’s nothing between them. I don’t know what’s gonna happen but I wish I could pursue it a little. It’s time for me to like actually interact with guys…it’s been way too long. Sean is always at the parties I go to so I’ll probably see him tonight. We’ll see what happens…

Classes started Monday and I am such a freshman.. I walked into one class that was still in session and almost sat down until the professor told me it was the wrong class. Later, I arrived 30 minutes early to a class and sat awkwardly with just the professor. I’m less weird now I guess but that was terrible. The girl that sat next to me in one class didn’t shave her armpits or legs. I’ve never witnessed that until today.. What else hm. Oh I’m so broke after spending an arm and leg on textbooks. Definitely order off Amazon they are way cheaper and arrive relatively fast! I don’t really have any stories since my days are mostly consumed with work now but I already love it 100% more than high school. Well I have tons of homework to return to so see ya!

Alright so I’ve been absolutely sucking at blogging but that just goes to show how busy I am having fun! This apartment is more that I could ever ask for. I’m so happy with every single thing about it. I seriously have an extreme obsession with it. Also, my roommates and I mesh really well together. We’re all mellow and friendly and not selfish so it works. I know it’s only been a couple days so we’ll see but I know how we all are and know how easy going we all are. I’m directly in a room with Jessica and then Abbie and Brittany are in the room right next to us. I think it’s good that way too because Abbie and Brittany are best best friends and were roommates last year so they have the same dynamic going and know how to live together. Jessica and I both are way more in to school and working out so it’s good we’re together. My room is decorated SO cute too. AHH but I won’t sit here talking about how obsessed I am with my apartment because that’s dumb and boring. SO…as you know it’s syllabus week. Therefore you go out every night and if you don’t then shame on you. You’re not gonna have any work and do and are just gonna sit in class and learn about the semester aka you’re not gonna listen so you might as well go out. Syllabus week is great funness wise but ain’t the healthiest thing for your body…who cares though. You only have so many syllabus weeks in your life. And this is great because now I’ll actually have stories and not just weight loss tips that more than half of you are like shut the eff up already!!!!!!! So let me start with Friday night…

I was pretty much all moved in…needed to do the finishing touches and finish decorating but for the most part all of my stuff was in place. It was a long ass day so I was ready to drink. I was so nervous how big of a light weight I was gonna be, though, so I hadn’t drank for over a month. My school tolerance by the end of the year is ridiculous from the build up but that got killed over the summer SO I tried to be careful. I watched my shots because I wanted to make sure I remembered the night. It sucked, though, because all the rugby boys couldn’t drink because they had an alumni game so we were all predicting a pretty chill night. Boo. Everyone just came over and I hate drinking with people who aren’t drinking so that kind of ruined the vibe. It took us effing forever to get a move on to the party but at midnight we finally did. It was one of Brittany’s friends from home but we literally knew no one there and there was no more alcohol left so that only means one thing…we leave. We were heading over to another party but it was all the way at the other end of town so when we got close to my apartment I pussied out and just went to sleep. Hey, I was moving all day and was tired as fuck anddd I didn’t think that it would be worth it since it sounded low key. So night number one was more getting moved in a reuniting with (almost) everyone. The craziness was to follow – aka Saturday night – which I’ll explain tomorrow. Just wanna say I loveee my life woo!

Saturday night I finally did it. I sucked it up and went to a frat. This girl on my floor who is really loud and boring (I know that’s mean but it’s true) asked me to go with her. I agreed and we left around 11:30. The frats are all in a row in sort of town houses except more institutionalized buildings. Three frats were having parties. The first one we passed they were saying you had to know a brother to get in. I’m sure that was only for guys but I didn’t even want to try. We went down to the last frat first. Inside it had a really long bar that extended the entire length of the wall and a separate room for beer pong. The beer was warm, it has 20 degrees hotter, and no one was really there so we left. The second one had colder beer and more people. Though the bartender was trying to be cute by saying you have to dance with me for a beer. I said I would later but never did, a point he reminded me of when I left. Two giant hulking guys kept bothering us too though they were nice and not pushy. Also one guy lifted my skirt as he grabbed my ass while another just pushed me out of the way to pass. I guess certain guys aren’t normal human beings. I just kept chugging beer and drinks because I was way to sober for that environment. That didn’t hit me till the walk home unfortunately. I am glad I checked out the scene and I’m sure I’ll make my way back over at some point.. but hopefully not.

Alright.. last night I befriended a church group? Well my roommate and I were walking around and saw a game of 4 square going on. We stopped and joined. Apparently it was sponsored by a church group on campus. They were all really nice and you would never know by looking that they loved Jesus. We met this one girl, Ashley, who is also a freshman but whose boyfriend is a member. She was really nice but like I said is into bible study. I am not. After a few games of 4 square and corn hole we decided to walk around campus. We stopped and got frozen yogurt then went and checked out her dorm room. Where we saw a COCKROACH. A little baby cockroach ran across her room and I dont know if I can sleep now since we live in the same building. After the cockroach incident, we went to the lounge and painted with the RAs. Fun Friday night, that’s for sure… Maybe tonight will be better.

I don’t know if I’ve said this already but I have been avoiding the frats. I mean who doesn’t avoid frats but I’d rather not go out then go to the frats, at least for orientation week. It is just too hard to pretend all the guys there (ok not all the guys but a large portion of guys) aren’t preying on drunk freshmen girls, especially during orientation week. Basically what I’m saying is I haven’t gone out yet or even ate pizza yet (4 days strong & at least pizza will taste sooo much better next time I eat it). Well the reason I haven’t had pizza yet is I haven’t met anyone well enough to ask if they want to get one. Hopefully I’ll find someone soon though. I’m off track, let me pull it back. So my nights have been kind of boring/ slow. My roommate and I have been trying to meet people but there doesn’t seem to be anyone with similar interests. Until last night that is. We randomly decided to go to this concert sponsored by Pitt’s progressive radio station. It was actually really fun and we got along with radio crew really well so we’re thinking of joining. I might be too lame to pick out music but I’m open to doing anything so it’s exciting and reassuring to know there are people with similar interests here. We’ll see how it goes..

I’m currently in the car, with all my shit, on the way to Penn State. I was looking forward to this day since May 5th (when I moved out). I’m soooo pumped and cannot wait to be finally living in an apartment. I don’t know how I packed all my stuff in to my car… Probably should thank my younger self for all those hours playing tetris. Anyway, moving all my stuff in is gonna be a huge pain in the ass but when I think of the end result, it’s totally worth it. If you’re moving in today or sometime soon, good luck! Just breathe and take it slowly. It’s gonna be so much fun – you’ll truly have the time of your life!

Packing is the single most stressful thing on this planet earth. This isn’t a week vacation down to the beach, it’s talking ALL your shit and transporting it from one place to another. There are so many things that I could easily forget. This is a long ass process and I highly recommend not procrastinating till the last day. Definitely make a list at least a week in advance and continue to add on things you think of. I have to make this post short because I have to get back to packing but the earlier you start, the less stressful it’ll be! Happy packing!!! (yeah right) – just think this packing means you’re one step college to going (or going back) to college wooo! Now there’s some serious motivation!

Alright so yesterday I wanted to kill myself. They had us go to 3 different orientation meetings. The first was our freshman convocation, followed by a 3 hour meeting with our RAs and then a 2 hour alcohol and rape awareness type thing. We obviously tried to skip them but it just didn’t work. After all that shit was over they had a carnival from around the world type thing. My roommate and I just went around stocking up on as much food as we could to put in our room. Apparently though, that was when the normal people were there because when we got back it was only the people you don’t really want to hang around. Everyone else either went back or to the frats. (I would go to the frats but on orientation week I know they’re just trying to prey on drunk freshmen girls and I’d rather not be around that) It was ok though because later we went and played frisbee with a group of people. Ya know I got the digits haha so I am quite happy about that. Alright I have to go take an alcohol course online… Deuces
