As I look at what I'm interested in right now, I'd rather write about the things I have going on in my life and accomplishing my goals over posting about a bunch of makeup that isn't really a priority right now. With that in mind, I'll likely only post once or twice a month for a while, until I have a strong desire to write about other things!
Books
Wow, this was intense. It's a heartbreaking,
lovely coming-of-age tale about a young man who suffers from abuse at home in a
myriad of ways. I really loved reading this and it was easy to continue
flipping through. However, I would not
recommend this to anyone under the age of 16. I feel like the content is
extremely graphic and could be very triggering or disturbing to some. I struggled to understand where Russell was
coming from with all of his actions, and I'm just going to assume that's just a
good thing. Stepping back and looking at
this, I also get a hint of political commentary with regards to the school
system, as well as justice.
The end had me shocked and still confused;
throughout the entire story I had a lot of confusion with Julian as a
character. He was incredibly complicated
in his thinking and I didn't understand it.
I am just assuming that this is due to the experiences he's had in his
life making it difficult for him to open up to anyone.
Overall I would recommend this book to a lot
of the teachers I still know, as I feel they would get the most benefit from
reading this, or mature minds who can look at this and think about what they
can learn. I gave this 4/5 stars.
Movies
Like I said, this is also one of my favorites! I love both of these movies, and they make awesome background noise during homework time.
One of the sisterhood's we had was a movie on Valentine's Day! We obviously went to Fifty Shades Darker as you can tell, and I loved this movie. It's not exactly the most family friendly movie, but it felt like a very dark rom-com to me, and I liked that.
I also went to The Lego Batman Movie in theaters! While it wasn't the most interesting movie in the world for me, but I didn't necessarily go for me. It was really cute, and one that I'd recommend for any Batman fans.
TV
Shows
I've been trying to catch myself back up in Grey's Anatomy; I fell off the wagon right before season 12 came out on Netflix. My roommates wanted me to watch it with them, so I did and it was great! I watched a few by myself too, so I'm now on episode 5 of season 12.
Activities
February was an insanely busy month for me all around!
This month in the College of Business, there were a few different things that happened. First, the Human Resources event has been developed quite a bit more and the planning is going smoothly! I have some more things to work out, but it's going along well. I also was on a panel this month where I got to talk about the college and everything we do. I love doing things like panels; they make me feel so good about what I do.
Finally, I had PALS weekend because I'm an ambassador for my college. We essentially had admitted high school students come by and participate in a few fun activities and getting to know each other and us. It was a really great time, and I'm looking forward to it again next year!
I know there are a lot of sections I skipped out on this month, but honestly I haven't been taking a lot of pictures for them or I've just been so busy that I haven't had free time to do anything! I have a few updates coming out this month in regards to my goals this year!

I had a lot of big sorority events this month! First, we had a sisterhood retreat where we all went to cabins and spent the weekend together. It was great, and I had an amazing opportunity to bond with lots of my sisters! I also volunteered for the blood drive with my sisters, and it was an amazing opportunity. I really enjoyed being able to help out for an event that can save so many people. We also celebrated our 25 years of being a chapter, which is super exciting! We had a wonderful brunch and got to meet some of our alumne, which was really cool.
This month for Panhellenic there were a few small events. We had three club fairs where admitted students came and looked at the college & various organizations on campus. I represented Panhellenic instead of my sorority, which was sad but I was happy to tell girls about what Panhellenic & sorority life is all about. In addition, we had PACT training, which is active bystander training. I really enjoyed learning it and knowing I have the knowledge of being able to stop something before it even happens.Finally, I had PALS weekend because I'm an ambassador for my college.
