Award time!

Helloooo all! Hope you are having a great week! It was a yucky day here @ PreppyU.. super windy! Makes me just want to curl up in sweats and read magazines and sleep! Thank goodness the weekend's almost here! I plan on taking it easy, doing a couple tours, shopping, and catching up on school work. Spring Break starts a week from tomorrow! Woooo!!

Anyway on to the topic of this post: Awards! Thank you Lou Lou In Lilly and Head over Heels! You are too sweet!

The first one is the seven things you might not know about me! Hopefully it'll help get to know me better!

1. I'm the oldest child yet the shortest. My sister is atleast 5'8" and 15 year old brother is hovering around 6 feet. Somehow I ended up at 5'5". No fair. My dad's 6'2" and my mom's 5'4" I guess I take after mom's side of the family. I don't really care until someone asks if my sister's older than me. When I moved in to school freshman year the alumni check-in lady kept asking my sister where she was living. She didn't believe that I was the freshman not her!
2. I am super paranoid about locking myself out of my room so I'll check for my keys a million times or triple check that the door is unlocked if I'm taking a shower or going to the bathroom. Yay minor OCD!
3. If I could snap my fingers and pick a profession, I'd become a nurse or a doctor. Since becoming a lifeguard, I've dealt with a LOT of nasty, disgusting things (mainly bodily fluids and some fun injuries like earrings stuck in feet!)but its all worth it when you save a life. On the downside, I am horrible at math, science, etc along with blood and guts. Doesn't equal a very good nursing candidate haha
4. I have mini-panic moments (not really attacks I'd say haha) right before I get on escalators. It only happens when I go down, not up! PreppyBoyfriend likes to make fun of me every time. He's too sweet.
5. I LOVE dogs. I can name a ridiculous number of breeds. When I was little I would research them thinking that would convince my parents to get me a puppy. No such luck.. I'm starting to harass the boyfriend now instead.
6. My 2nd word was Dumbo because I watched that movie so much!
7. I used to be embarrassed that my mom would shop at Target. In elementary school when I would use grocery bags to bring things in, I would never use a Target bag because I didn't want the other kids to make fun of me. Funny how times change! I could spend hours in there now and talk about it for days!

For this one, I tag the first 7 commenters!


Head over heels gave me the Life is Grand Award! Here are my 5 reasons:
1. Life is grand because I have a wonderful family. We always have a great time together.
2. Life is grand because I met my soulmate at 15. I'm so thankful that we met so early in life, that we went through the long distance thing, and other ups and downs. We're so much stronger because of it!
3. Life is grand because I am more than halfway done with my college career! I've grown so much being here, but am excited to move onward and upward!
4. Life is grand because I'm healthy and happy!
5. Life is grand because the future is bright and I look forward to seeing what's in store for me.

This award I'm tagging the last 5 people to start following me! Thanks for hopping on board the PreppyGirl train! Everyone else go say hi to them!
Have a wonderful night! I'll be on campus this weekend and probably will be procrastinating all my work due next week by posting on here!

Oh hey!


Thank you so much Newlywed Stilettos for the introduction! It means a lot and I'm so happy for new followers! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you stick around :-)

In other news, I appreciate all your comments from my post this morning, I am hoping to get a full night's sleep tonight! PreppyBoyfriend is looking forward to making his debut and is happy to hear you are too! (He also tweaked my header! What a sweet boy!)

Today I woke up with only 4 hours of sleep which equals a barely functioning PreppyGirl! I made it to my classes, turned in my "journals" that were due and delivered the papers I was in charge of. I quickly returned to my room, closed the shade, had a quick lunch and had an almost 2 hour nap! Allllll better! Pretty uneventful day..

In other news, I found out the other night that I'm invited to PreppyBF's cousin's wedding in Colorado. I wasn't sure if my parents would let me go but looks like I'm getting the green light! The wedding is in July, right before my birthday. I'm pretty excited, we're going the Wednesday or Thursday before the Saturday night wedding and flying back the following Tuesday. So since I'm going, I have to look for a dress to wear! Not sure what the attire will be, I've heard that PreppyBf's uncle (father of the groom) is wearing a tux, but that doesn't help me really! We'll have to investigate so I can start shopping! Any Colorado readers out there? Any recommendations to where we should go touristing? PreppyBF said we should go to Garden of the Gods, I've never been to Colorado so I can't wait!

Edit:

I just got back from my newspaper meeting. My advisor pulled me aside afterward and said I'm a main contender for the MANAGING editor position. Aka I would be the editor in CHIEF?! whaaaat?? Holy smokes.. Of course I'd take it but it's so much work! And it's a paid position! Should be interesting to see how this develops.. I'll keep you posted!
