Housing Resolved

After a lot of thinking and debating, our housing situations are clear. For everyone but Kala that is, who plans on moving back home, at least for a bit.

Chelsea is living on campus with a few of our friends while Megan is moving in (on campus still) with members of her volleyball team. Now I, on the other hand, found a place. I will be living with another Chelsea, in an off-campus apartment.

Now, I can't give off too much information but I am happy we will have a pool and we are getting our keys soon... not soon enough for us though!

I think we all stressed too much about it. I think we all knew what we wanted, or could do, just did not know how to organize it and actually say it to each other. But, it is good we figured it out because we have enough to do in the upcoming weeks.

Other than figuring out housing, we have all been bonding over one movie. Here's the trailer. I didn't want to spoil it for those if you that haven't gotten to see it. (And yes, we have all watched this at least two times over the past 36 hours!)

My Boyfriend's Back

"My boyfriend's back and you're gonna..." be lucky you really don't have to hear that! But clearly this weekend is exciting because Josh is here for the week. Poor kid, has to deal with me. I know he loves it thought.

I think cupid has hit 503 - very well - for the first time this year. Everyone here is happy with a significant other. Now, I can't do too much gossip on them, we'll let them do it themselves, but even Chelsea is in a great mood! (Trust me, you can see if you look at her status' on Facebook and AIM.

Why does everyone find it necessary to post how happy they are and if they miss people on line? Clearly I am guilty of this because I am doing it in this blog! But really, we all complain that our lives are out in the open and yet, we do it to ourselves.

Because we are all happy, nothing has been too crazy around here. We have either been spending time talking to our men, all of which don't live here, or doing a ton of work!

How can you support us?
- Well, I guess you have to wait and see until after my roommates get back this weekend!

And for those of you who had no idea what I was "singing," here is the video... ENJOY! (But really the lyrics do not relate to me, just got excited by saying my boyfriend's back!)

Happy April!

I swear our ghost is back. I have been hearing doors open and close when no one is here. My mom tells me I am just crazy, which is very true, I would bet.

With school winding down, the number of days, not how busy we are that is, as a group, the four of us have been deciding when to move out of the apartment. (As I have hinted in previous blogs, Spencer has moved out for reasons I cannot relay.) Deciding when to leave would not be such a problem if we did not have to clean.

However, we do. And clean up leaves us with a large living/dining room/kitchen to clean, plus three bedrooms. And the way the dust comes out of these vents, it won't be fun! Can anyone explain to me how you clean a wooden floor and then two hours later there is dust everywhere?!

This topic is one in which you will find all of us in agreement. We clean, or shall I say used to clean, a lot. However, it is quite aggravating that no matter how much we clean, it stays dirty! Does anyone else who lives in the apartments have this problem? Please let us know how you avoid it/fix it.

How can you support us?
-Come visit Chelsea and I at Town Tavern tomorrow. Check our Facebooks for drink specials!
-And if Megan finds her work schedule out for the next few days, visit her at work at The Courthouse Tavern. Especially on Fridays. (Supposedly it has some awesome fish!)

Almost Done with March?

In high school the month of March means nothing. There are still at least two months of school left and definitely one grading period to go. However, in college, the end of March is a big wake up call. Normally that means there is only one month left.

And for the girls of 503 that is for sure. While Spencer is off doing her thing with Harmon Creek, the rest of us sit here stressed. Kala is a wreck about upcoming graduation and Meg, Chelsea and I have a lot of work. Yet what do we really do, what for the return of all our shows!

I have never watched Gossip Girl until I lived with them, and now, if I walk in and it's on, I sit and watch it - therefore, putting off work. This is the same with One Tree Hill. And they do it with things I watch too.

Back to a question I asked in my first blog - is 6 girls living together really illegal and considered a sorority? I'm thinking not... I am thinking that rule came about a long time ago by teachers who knew that this many girls living together distracts every one of them!

How can you support us?
-This one is easy. Send us little words of encouragement and reminders to do work and not watch T.V!

Housing Situations

Living with four other people gets crazy. And of course that is what this blog is about. Well, I genuinely believe it is because we are all good friends. We get annoyed, we get tired of being with each other and we are always around each other.

Spencer and Kala will be graduated next year. Megan must live on campus because of volleyball. So that leaves Chelsea and I to decide what to do. And we have had our problems doing so. She has a job and an apartment back home and doesn't want to pay for two all summer, which makes sense.

So what do we do? Agree to part ways for the year? Or figure something in between? Do you think living with a best friend is a good idea or not? I know these are a lot of questions, but I think Chelsea and I aren't the only two debating this.

Take this poll and let me know if living with your best friend is a good idea!

Sororiety Stress

Our apartment has been quite hectic lately, and I am not so sure that it is in a good way. We have all been moody and it is stemming from many things. I think stress number one is the fact that three roommates are very sick. Stress two is that we have one aspiring singer, one FBI hopeful and one hopeful broadcaster along with two who only somewhat know what they want to do. And that leads to stress number three.. the end of the year is coming which means a lot of work, housing situations and graduation for some.

With all of this put together, its a shaky place in here. It seems as though a bomb could detonate at any time! And to beat it all, our poor families and boyfriends have to deal with it. For the most part, we have turned to our families and spent time at home.

One way I have kept myself semi-sane is looking at F-my-life. The stories people have on the site make me realize that something worse could have happened over my day. Plus, it gives me a much needed laugh.

Another thing that I do is keep up with the news. And this past week, the passing of Natasha Richardson has me upset. Her role in the Parent Trap was my favorite. Now I will be sad when I watch my favorite movie of all time.

Boyfriends Make Me Happy

Don't surprises make everyone happy? Especially when they are something totally unexpected and from someone you like. Well, I know in my room with all of us girls they do.

Kala was happy to find out that her boyfriend was coming down Wednesday to take her home. And Chelsea was actually having a decent time talking to a guy. (Which is a first and maybe won't make her hate Valentine's Day so much!) Megan was on a better track with the guy she likes and Spencer, well she is a little different of a story. Spencer is happy NOT having a guy around! I guess after some bad time that is what happens.

Well, when I got the call that my boyfriend who lives in the great white north was coming down this weekend, I was clearly thrilled. It will have its downfalls though considering he can only stay for not even 24 hours. I'm very gracious he is coming but upset that I can only see him for a short period of time.

Does anyone have advice on how to keep couples happy with each other, especially when they are away from each other? As all of my roommates are in this situation, I think we need it. We all appreciate our men, but we get angry and miss them when they are not here!
