late nights with jimmy fallon...and the library

Good morning, y'all!
I'm so super pumped about today because it's LDOC for us here at UNC-Chapel Hill. You know, last day of classes?
Yeahhhhh! So stoked. But  I can't hardly believe that yet another year has already gone by. I can vividly remember the day I left my dorm last year, and I'll be leaving my apartment here in one week + one day! Crazy, fast life.
Anyways, I mentioned yesterday that Pres. Obama was here to give a speech and then visit the Jimmy Fallon show taping here on our campus. I didn't have tickets, but I still thoroughly enjoyed watching the show last night. There's just something about two celebrities talking about how great your school is that really makes you glad that you chose such a wonderful school to attend. GO TARHEELS! 

our beautiful campus
Here are a few pictures snapped by Raleigh's News and Observer covering the events yesterday..

they were rather hilarious, i must admit
being greeted by Bev at RDU
someone was excited to speak..
working the crowd..
 Once again, I'm not the biggest Obama fan..but I have to admit that having him choose to come to our school made me feel pretty darn special.

And let's not forget this super cool dude and his awesome new single, "Mercy"..
Dave Matthews


However, prior to all the fun and games.. I was stuck in the library studying for philosophy. BLECH!

what I was doing...(and no, that's not a soft drink y'all. it's pink lem...I promise)
and what I WANTED to be doing.
Philosophy requires way too much thinking, in my opinion. Just sayin'.

Also, I want to give the biggest thank-you to my super, oh-so-awesome, wonderful, talented, all those cool things blog friend Gail
for my beyond amazing new blog design. 

I AM LOVING IT. 
You're the best! xoxo

Now, please excuse me while I go stuff my face with the Krispy Kreme doughnuts that my professor is giving us for LDOC... ;)

Have a wonderful Wednesday, loves!! xo
p.s. I'm also loving my new signature..what do y'all think?!

Sometimes and Always #2

Hello and Happy Tuesday, y'all!
Today is my second to last day of classes for the semester...wow!
This year has flown by, but I'm really not complaining ;)

Just a side-note before I get into today's post..
THE PREZ IS IN TOWN, Y'ALL.
 Yep, you bet ya. Good 'ole Obama is making his way to little 'ole Chapel Hill today to give a speech on.....? Beats me. They haven't publicized it very much. Rumors started swirling around campus last Wednesday/Thursday and the university sent us all an e-mail Sunday night giving us the few necessary details about how to get tickets and where the speech was going to bed held. I'm not the biggest Obama supporter (sorry if this offends anyone), but I was still pretty stoked to get the chance to see him speak. I mean, he IS the President. Anyways, sad story...I have class from 9:30-1:45 and the doors to the arena opened at 10am and the speech starts at 1pm. So, no President sighting for Haley. Poo. 
Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, and Dave Matthews Band are also here doing a segment on Obama, but seniors got priority tickets for that. Again, poo!

Oh well, on to today's post!
Linking up with Megan over at Mackey Madness for...
 

Yay! Love this link-up. Here we go! 

Sometimes:  I don't pay attention in class.

Always: I go to class. (that conscience, I tell ya..)

 
Sometimes: I really, really, really want a soft drink.

Always: I abstain and do my best to keep my promise to myself. Booooo.

Oh, the things I would do for a Diet SunDrop right now...
 
Sometimes: I disappoint myself.

Always: I learn from my mistakes.

 
 Sometimes: I wish that summertime didn't come with 90+ degree weather.

Always: I wish that it came with 80 degree weather so I can wear cute clothes ;) 


Sometimes: It annoys me when Rue whines at the edge of the bed because she wants me to pick her up, even though she's very capable of jumping up there by herself.

Always: I'm thankful to have such a sweet, loving companion that loves me so much :)

love that sweet, little fur angel
 Sometimes: I get fed up with all of Facebook's changes.

Always: I stay on it like it's my second job. Whoops.  


 What are your "Sometimes and Always"? Link-up with Megan and let us know!

 Enjoy the rest of this beautiful Tuesday! xo
