Asking To Use The Restroom

I haven't posted in a while, mainly because nothing eventful has happened in my life (I live a pretty boring life compared to most). However, I do want to say that I love college so far! There are so many people and new faces I see everyday, not to mention you get to leave class whenever you'd like and you also don't have to ask to use the restroom, unlike high school. It's still something I'm getting used too though; I find it weird not asking for a hall pass to use the restroom. Oh, there's also way more attractive people in college, which makes me feel more average than I already am haha!

I think it was about a week and a half ago that my friend Nancy and I took a class of 2018 Ute picture in the football field. It was a very hot day and wearing a dress shirt/slacks was not the business. Also, there was a huge line just to get water.. After waiting for about thirty minutes, we finally went out to the Rice Eccles stadium field and took our class picture, which was fun! It turns out that the picture was taken with a drone, which I thought was pretty cool because I didn't know you could use drones for that as well.

My friend and I with our class of 2018 U of U shirts! Aren't we sexy?

Rice Eccles Stadium

Today I picked up tickets to see Laverne Cox, which is the University of Utah's keynote speaker for Pride Week! I'm excited to see her, mainly because I'm a fan of Orange Is The New Black, a Netflix original series. In the show, Cox plays a transgender woman who goes to jail for.... something (I forgot)! For those of you who haven't watched OITNB, I highly recommend! It's definitely a good comedy/drama series.

SO EXCITED

Oatmeal, TRAX, and college!

     Today was my first day as a freshman at the University of Utah and man, was it something! My day started out by waking up at 5 am. Why? Because, I had to have the most important meal of the day on my first day of college (I had oatmeal for breakfast).

Boarding the TRAX at 6:15 am

      I arrived at the TRAX station at about 6:10 am. I kind of regret taking a class at 7:30 am... It's like high school all over again! Anyway, I arrived at the University at about seven and made it to my class ten minutes early. My first class wasn't bad, the instructor just went over the syllabus and what to expect from the course... nothing else, really. It also helped that one of my friends from Kearns has the same class as I do! My following class, writing 2010, also went over the syllabus.

Great view of the valley/stadium from the Marriott library!

     After that ended, I had a three hour break to do whatever I wanted. So what did I do? I went to the library of course! It's HUGE, I think it's about six stories high! It's going to take a while to learn where everything is in that maze. During my time at the library, I started to do my assigned reading, which was about forty pages. I found myself rereading passages over and over again. I guess I probably should've read a book over the summer, like The Giver, which I heard is a great read. 

J. WIllard Marriott library.. one word, big. 

     After my three hour break, I went to my last class, which is a combination of business/philosophy/humanities/ethics class. Interesting combination, but I'm looking forward to this class the most. 

The beautiful David Eccles School of Business!

     I even made a few soon-to-be-friends in some of my classes, which is a start. I'm generally not socially awkward or weird when meeting people for the first time AND my good looks always help (joking). I'm excited for my freshmen year of college and I'm looking forward to making new friends, memories, and experiences! 

I even got a free ticket to the B.o.B concert!

One last thing: there are many beautiful people in college. I feel like a solid one on a scale of one to ten in the looks department when I was walking around campus! 

GO UTES!
