Lets Snellebrate! (=

So I moved into my dorm at the sensational University of Georgia, on August 11th, 2010. I have been amply busy from day one.

First, you must get acquainted with your roommate, unpack your belongings and get 'settled in' your dorm if you are living on campus and not commuting. This is probably the scenario for most college students.

Then, you must get acquainted with your new town if you are not familiar with it. You also might want to take this time to learn your school and better yet your classes if it is a somewhat larger school.

Finally, and most importantly you must learn time management.

Will you party?

Will you stay in?

Will you put your studying first?

Will you decide to study when you are bored or think you have a few extra minutes to spare?

Will you have a job?

Will you be in a club?

Sport?

Will you get involved with activities on campus?

Or will you decide to stay in your dorm or apartment completely homesick because you miss the sound of mummy or daddy's voice in the background?

These are all very important situations to take into account when moving into your new college lifestyle.

I however decides that I would put my studies above everything seeing as I am paying for this, stay connected but not TOO connected to my family at home as to avoid being homesick and finally that I would in fact get involved on campus and have a job.

I was originally going to work at the Dollar Tree in Athens but seeing as the manager would not work with my schedule and even took it upon himself to hang up on me when I called (since I had no way to get there and explain this to him before I was to be in another class) to tell him I would no longer be working for Dollar Tree. I am now currently employed with the food services at UGA. I mean it is a little hot and I'm on my feet from 4-915 ish continuously besides the 30 minute lunch I am required to take, and I am new at it making things somewhat uncomfortable. But in spite of all these changes, they work with my schedule, allow me time off when needed, pay me 20 cents more with a 15cent bonus for every hour I worked if I work through finals, and give me money back on my meal plan. All in all not to bad, especially when you account for the gorgeous Canadian who doctored my arm after a slight burn. Now hot guys make most everything better. (=

The food here is amazing! MMMMM -Oglethorpe, Snelling, The Village Summit, and Bolton all on a meal plan with Bulldog Cafe` and Tate Cafe always around to serve. Freshman 15 here I come! (Well considering the fact that you have to jog up  and down colossal hills to get from class to class with the exception with the exceptional ride on the UGA buss or Athens Transit, maybe not =] )

I am also enrolled in 15 credits a semester and enjoying my classes quite well. I admit it is remarkably different from high school but in a good way. No boss, no one to tell you when to do what. The work load seems to be a but much but thats okay. My first tests are coming up and I am sitting here blogging, the perfect example as to what you should NOT do when in college. Thats all for now!

Another day closer... A highlight & dedication to 'September'...

How the time passed away, all the trouble that we gave
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made
One by one they vanish just the same things in life that we planned to do but never completed doing, plans that were made and never fulfilled...
Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain as we live out our lives things never seem to remain the same, as time goes on it seems as though it simply flies by but no matter what, our memories remain and our memories are what keeps us going, remembering who we are and who we've been...
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain throughout life we still have those little moments where we return to our youth and simply 'play out in the rain...'
Nothing to lose but everything to gain there are many hardships in life, sometimes we hit rock bottom and realize we have nothing left to loose, THIS is when some come to the realization that God can pull you through and stand you back up on your feet, now knowing that you have everything in the world to gain, for most however this is known as a 'mid life crisis' ha...
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end however, when you think back on those little moments in life, those little moments that you will cherish forever, that your life, and your mistakes we worth it in the end...
Now it all seems so clear, there's nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real once you come to realize who you are and what you were meant to be, everything seems clear, you  realize that life is worth something, and even though you've hit rock bottom, there is a light at the end of that tunnel. No matter how many rocks you have to climb and branches you have to burn, once you ' find out what is real, there is nothing left to fear'...
Now the days are so long that summer's moving on now life is not such as rushed, but every little moment enjoyed...
We reach for something that's already gone, yeah but no matter what your past can't not be re-done
Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
We knew we had to leave this town you knew it was coming
But we never knew when and we never knew how but it was only a dream
We would end up here the way we are now it is a realization
Yeah, we knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when and we never knew how
Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end and so it was...
A huge thank you to singer/songwriter Chris Daughtry and songwriter Josh Steely for these beautiful lyrics.

Well I am one day closer to moving in, and I'm starting to realize how much I'm going to miss this place. It is only a small town in the grand ol USA, but it is infact, my home. Its going to be a change for me, my friends, my family... all of us. I was talking to my friend on facebook, and she was saying how she was going to be all alone back home, because she is going to our local college. It really made me stop and think about everything I'm leaving behind. I could have taken the easy way out like pretty much my whole graduating class did by going next door to Kennesaw State, or North Georgia. Not saying I'm better by no means.. of course not. I am gonna admit, that sometimes, just sometimes, I regret taking the 2 hour drive away from home, when I could have went only 45 minutes down the road in 2 different directions and been at oen of two great schools with plenty of classmates and old crushes, but no. I had to be different, and in the long run I believe it to be best for me. However, that doesn't change the fear it excites inside oneself to learn that everything is changing and the life you once knew is now going to be over a hundred miles away from you. I am defninetly convinced that those who are not going as far away from home, THOSE were infact, the smart ones. Indeed. But that doesn't matter. As it turns out, I am one of two idiots from my graduating class, journeying of to UGA, and I'm proud to call it my new home. Although there were a few others going to other splotches and blimps in the radar, known as 'other school.' Ha! This song, 'September,' reminds me of the changes I'm about to make, the friends I'm going to loose, but also , the friends I'm going to make and the life change I'm going to endure. Wish me luck. I have my foot in the doorway and I'm not stopping now!

One week till move in...

I would like to start my post out with an introduction....
My name is Chasiti. I am an only child, student at the University of Georgia and most of all a follwer of Christ. I believe in pursuing your dreams and knowing that through God everything and I stress, EVERYTHING can be accomplished. I am no where near perfect and have made many mistakes but I know those mistakes are forgiven and will not stand in my way in life. I know that life is a curvy and ever so bumpy road with many potholes and fallen trees. You have to overcome things in life, fill the potholes and remove the trees. I also realize that I will be making many more mistakes throughout my lifetime and probably experience some devistating moments, as will I experience happiness, regret and success. I strive for excellance in everything I do. Music means a lot to me, and I relate a majority of my life to lyrics. They are often seen as my status on social networks as well. My goal for this blog is to express the ups and downs of my college life, but to also highlight how wonderful it is to be a Georgia Bulldog!!! (= Go Dawgs!!!

It is exactly one week till I take the long drive down to Athens to begin the rest of my life. I am nervous but oh so very anxious to go. I am not close to my whole family, my parents and grandma and grandpa being the extend of a close relationship inside the relative circle. However, I do try to get along with the others. My friends are who make me the happiest in life. Graduating from high school, I have learned that friends just like family are not always as they seem. I have lost friendships I though would never end. My closest relationships are those of friends I haven't known my entire life and to be completely honest, I am glad I haven't . They have stood by me through thick and thin and I thank God for them every day.
