I have this great feeling right now, you want to know why?! I am done with eveything for this semester. Yep, I said it, no finals! Woooo! Although during the semester it did kind of suck because I was constantly working on projects, but it was so worth it now!
Everybody is talking about how they are dreading finals next week, and I'm just like ha...sucker...I'm don't have any...knock on wood...
This was my last hard semester, thank goodness, I never want to take 18 credit hours again! I have one more year left and all I have to take are pud classes just to get enough credit hours to graduate. What a waste of money...
I'm ready to be done with school though and get a real job, something that I will be looking forward to doing everyday...Hopefully my real job lands in Colorado or in New York City. I would love to work for ESPN :) Or MTV :) Dream on right?! No! I am determined, and I will get there someday, even if it means working at a dinky newspaper or a dinky radio station...you got to start somewhere!
So as of right now as I am finishing up this blog post, I am done with school until August :) What a great feeling....bring on the summer :)

Things I wish I would have known before I got to college...
When I came to college I was one frightened little girl! This place seemed huge, there were so many people, and I was getting roomed up with a complete stranger (which might I add I still live with and we are now best friends :)), besides those points though, I wish there were some things I knew about college before I got here...
1. UNK is a dry campus. Figured that one out the hard way...
2. Residential Hall Advisors go through your dorm room and do checks...and yes that involves checking your refrigerator...bye bye Bud Light...
3. When a guy tells you your eyes are pretty at a party, close them and ask him what color they are...if he gets it wrong, he just is trying to hook up with you or is very lucky he guessed right because that is the lamest pick up line ever...
4. Don't use beer pong cups that everyone else has used. It's called herpes. And yes, that shit can spread to your mouth ( note: not from personal experience :))
5. Dorm dances are L.A.M.E.
6. Chartwells charges like 8 bucks a meal...what a rip off...
7. Don't wear a dress when your drunk...otherwise the whole party will know the color of oyur underwear...
8. Don't go play in a bunch of mud and then use the dorm showers to shower...I guess they don't like that...
9. People who add you on facebook and don't even know you are creepers...
10. If you're at Mcdonalds and they are taking forever to get you your food at 1 a.m. when your drunk...get the hell outa there...they called the cops...
Well those are just some things I think every college freshman should know :) There are more, but I'd be going on for days....
Peace it.

The Good Life
I came across this quote the other day and it really got me wondering why Nebraska is always the butt of the joke? “Just keep driving, when something changes you’ll know you’re out of Nebraska.” Just because we have a lot of corn and animals doesn’t mean we are a bunch of redneck, rodeo lovin hicks.
People think our motto in Nebraska is corn, college football and….um….more corn…which to some extent may be true. But there is definitely more to Nebraska then just corn. For instance the Zoo in Omaha has the world’s largest indoor rainforest. I think that’s pretty cool! We are also home to the largest hand-planted forest in the world, which is located near Thedford, Nebraska. Nebraska is also the proud founder of the powdered soft drink Kool-Aid. What would the world do without Kool-Aid!
We also are going to be the last state to run out of water…because we have the most underground water reserves than any other state! So while the rest of the U.S. is dying from de-hydration we will be drinking water like it’s our job. Nebraska also has the countries largest aquifer and we have more miles of river than any other state.
And the football thing…it might seem like we are a little nuts about it…but seriously, the Cornhuskers have been to a record 27 consecutive bowl games and have had 27 consecutive winning seasons….we are kind of a big deal….so what if we support our football team? Their legit…so legit that they have produced more Academic All-Americans than any other Division 1 school….Along with the bomb football team UNL also has the largest weight room in the country…it covers three-fourths of an acre.
We don’t have any pro sports teams for sports entertainment, but we do host the college world series in Omaha….which is kind of a big deal….
This is kind of random but If you ever want to chill on a porch swing with your friends, Nebraska is definitely the place to do it…Hebron, Nebraska has the largest porch swing in the world….it can sit 25 adults.
I bet not very many people knew this, but Nebraska holds the worlds largest Kolache Festival. It is located in Prague. So if you are ever cravin a kolache, which might I add are delicious, Nebraska is definitely the place to be.
Now here is something rare….The cost of the Nebraska Capitol building was $9,800,440.07. The construction job came under budget and the building was paid for by the time it was completed. How often does that happen?! We know how to manage our money!
Right now, Nebraska is the place to be because we have been holding our own during this recession…Right now, economically, Nebraska is the happiest state in the country. We cheer the reddest, corn the hardest, and we grin the widest ☺
So, enough with all the bad jokes about corn, football, and farming. I am proud to say that I am from Nebraska. It’s not as bad as everyone puts it off to be. If you just do a little research, you may come to find that there are some pretty cool things to do here in the Cornhusker State.

Date Night
Tonight I went to the movie Date Night featuring Tina Fey and Steve Carell. It may have been the funniest movie that I have seen this past year.
Fey and Carell are both already extremely funny actors and when they are put together--it's hilarious. They are like a match made in heaven when they are in a movie with one another. With Carells sarcastic sense of humor and Fey's hilarious lines, I couldn't quit laughing...
The story plot was also a lot different then most movies. It didn't end like everyother movie I see. It was different and kept me intrigued the whole time. Some comedies show you all the funny scenes in the movie trailer, and this one actually saved some for the actual movie. It's also a good movie that a couple could go to because it's not a chick flick, and it's not a hard core action movie...so I would consider it a happy medium :)
The end may have been a little over the top I guess, but when a movie makes you laugh the whole way through it...it's a good one. It was worth my money to go see in the theater and I was still laughing when it was over. It has some of the greatest lines I've heard in a long time. This movie is something I would buy when it comes out on DVD. Check out the trailer and go see it for yourself :)

The Big 21
So I am very excited as the day I have been looking forward to since I was a little girl is almost here...and no, it's not my wedding day...it's the day I can finally drink beer :)
Not that it has been stopping me before, but it is going to be such a relief to be able to actually drink a beer without worrying about getting a fricken M.I.P....take it from me, don't ever get a M.I.P in Buffalo County or you'll sit your but in jail! It was 48 hours of hell...Never again will I have to do that....well that is unless I go to jail for something else, which is not in my future plans whatsoever.
It kind of sucks in a way you know...turning 21 and all...I mean, what else is there to look forward to now? Getting old? Ugh....there is nothing good about turning older after 21...well besides being legal...Now all I have to worry about getting old and wrinkly and poppin out kids...that's a scary thought.
After Sunday, I will never be able to look forward to getting older ever again...SAD! O well...it should be a very successful evening :)
