At my school, like many other colleges, there is a designated area for students to spray paint in order to decrease vandalism. Ours is called the free expression tunnel. Everyone makes a big deal about how painting the tunnel is something you should do on your freshman bucket list. I just never had the time.

Until tonight! Roots and Shoots is having a meeting on Thursday so we decided to paint the tunnel. Our guest speaker will be discussing conservation with lemurs in Madagascar so we included a lemur in the painting, ad well as a boa because they're just awesome!

All of the officers were there together, having a blast, making joke and getting the word out. I'm glad I can say I've crossed that off my bucket list (even if I'm not a freshman anymore).









Until then,

It's that time again, folks. Time for school. It seems like summer barely had time to get started before it was over.

I have moved back into school already and will be starting classes on Thursday. Until then, I'm trying to make valuable use of my time. I am writing this blog post as I sit outside Valentine Commons - a huge and brand new (not to mention completely overpriced) apartment complex right on campus. Yesterday, I spent 11 hours helping direct parking deck traffic and move students in. The things we do to make money. And I'm back again! Working ten glorious hours on this lovely Sunday.

In other news, some of you may know that I am a big sister in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. My little sister is starting 6th grade this year! I am only allowed to see Paris, my little; during the school year, but we planned to stay in touch via email and phone. Unfortunately that was not the case. I could not reach Paris at all and haven't gotten to talk to her since May. But l celebrate her starting a new chapter in her life, I am putting together a little gift of school supplies for her, which I am super excited about! I can't see her for another couple weeks but I'm exited for it! Before Paris and I left for summer break, we made a list of our goals for the summer. You can read my list and how it panned out in a later post, which I will link to.

Also, my cousin is now attending grad school here at NC State so I've spent the last two nights hanging out with her and have thoroughly enjoyed it! It's nice to have some family here.

Until next time,
