Thanksgiving Break

My thanksgiving break was GREAT! I went down to Waycross, GA, where the majority of my family lives. All of my siblings and I stayed with my granparents for the week. We pretty much just hung out and chilled all week. My grandparents have a lot of land down there so we rode around on the 4 wheeler and found things to do around the house. On Thanksgiving day I ate wayyyyyy too much food. My mom's side of the family met at my aunt's house for lunch and we all sat down and ate and then some of the guys played football and eventually most of us layed down and took naps. While we were all laying down some of my cousins and my little brother went out to ride what we call the redneck sleigh which is a peice of plastic material hooked to the back of the 4 wheeler and we ride around on it. Well, my brother was riding on the sleigh and one of my cousins was driving a little too fast. My cousin turned too sharp and my brother flew off the back of it and eneded up breaking his collar bone. So he spent most of the evening in the ER. After all of that craziness, my family went to my dad's parents house and we had Thanksgiving dinner there. Needless to say I ate a lot of food on Thanksgiving day. My family is great and I love them to death!

Fast Food

I love fast food restaurants such as  McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Taco Bell, and Chick-fil-A! None of these are very healthy though. Chick-fil-A is the most healthy out of these because they use peanut oil when they fry their foods, but the others are really not healthy. We all love going because they are fast and cheap and pretty good to me. Some people don't like fast food places but I don't have a problem with them at all. I don't eat at them all the time because then I would gain a lottttttt of weight! But every now and then about once or twice a week i go and eat fast food. They are very high in fat and can make you get bad cholesterol. But that doesn't stop me from eating at them.

College vs. High School

I like college soooooo much better than high school! Even though college is much harder than my high school was, I like it a whole lot better. There is so much more freedom in college to do whatever you want. If you want to miss class then that's on you. In high school the teachers were all up your butt about everything but in college the professors are much more laid back from my experience so far. In high school there was so much drama, which I hate. But here in college you don't get all that close to people so there's nothing to argue about or get in drama with. Everyone in college is a lot more mature than the kids in high school. People here in college are here to get their degree and get out of here, not to play around and just be here for the fun of it. All in all, college is so much better than high school!

My Halloween Night

Last night was a BLAST! My friends and I decided at the last minute we wanted to dress up for Halloween and go trick or treating like we always do. So on Sunday night we planned to go early Saturday to get our supplies and make our costumes. We made crayon costumes and they were sooooo cute! We bought felt, party hats, velcro, and tights. First, we cut out the felt into different color dresses and velcroed the sides together. Then, we cut out the word crayola and black stripes in black felt and hot glued them to the front of the dresses. Finally, we covered the party hats in our color felt to act as the crayon tip, then we put our black tights on and the dress and it looked really cute from far away.  Up close you could definitely tell they were homemade costumes. Noone these days make homemade costumes anymore and ours turned out really good. We got a lot of compliments and comments on them because it was something different that people weren't used to seeing. We still like to be kids and do things whether people think we should or not. We always have a blast doing it and of course the candy is a plus too! When we were at one of the houses getting candy we heard a little girl say, "Mommy, I wanna be a crayon next year." It was so cute! We were like awwww. We felt like the little girl looked up to us in a way. We took tons of pictures and we definitely had a great time! Can't wait for next year :)
