April 3rd- 10th, 2014
The past few days have been hectic. It's the end of the semester, so I don't have much time to do anything other than go to class, sleep, and eat.
Sometimes, it just makes me grateful that I have a school to go to, and the opportunity to go here.
Be blessed,
LG.

Today not only means standing up for my brother, but all of my campers and peers from Airport who have any form of Autism.
Some campers who have comorbidity, where they have more than one disability. But yet they perservere, they don't give up, and that's why I do what I do.
Teaching isn't for the money, spending my whole summer at Burnt Gin isn't just giving me something to do.
It's a passion, and for that I'm grateful.
Think about it, LG.

Today will be my grandpas 3rd heavenly birthday. Though he was not biologically my grandfather, he was the only one I knew.
Lauren
The way that he stepped up and provided for my family, my dad, uncle, aunt, and grandma. It's astonishing.
So here's a happy birthday to you, Pa.
I love you.

March 26th-31st, 2014...the end of the semester.
Even though I'm doing a terrible job at keeping up with my blog I'm trying to hard to not get frustrated. I started this blog to remind me of daily things that might seem small at the time but are things I can still be thankful for. With all of this mass chaos going on in my life it's hard to find the time to relax and rewind. Why sleep when you can blog?
It's the end of the semester. More importantly the end of the school year. And while I joke and say that AU is an overly expensive boarding school. I wouldn't trade it for the world. While I do miss home, and being a college student is rough, Anderson is one of the only places I would want to spend these years...minus Burnt Gin of course.
Don't get me wrong, I am capable of doing all of this work I have been given. My professors have taught me well, and continually stand beside me; but I also feel the need to stress the importance of a quality high school education...something I feel I did not receive. All the while, I love my alma mater. Airport holds many fond memories, from doing musicals, eating lunch with my mom and best friends every day, raising money for Camp Kemo every year, and finally deciding on my Special Ed major these are the most valuable memories to me. I made some friends, I lost some friends, but most importantly I was a friend.
My list continually piles up. Paper this, paper that. Project here, test there. DON'T FORGET EXAMS. It's a struggle, honestly. The thing that I always revert to when I get overwhelmed and stressed is that I am not alone.There are roughly 2,500 other students on this campus freaking out just as much if not more than I am. The professors here are no joke. Most, if not all have Masters degrees or HIGHER. (Quite frankly, that's just a lot of school and money that I don't have) but really. Plus how awesome is it to know that you have professors and staff on campus who pray for you every night? THEY KNOW YOUR NAME.
Throughout it all, the fact that someone cares...and takes time to know you, and pour into you and your peers and just genuinely care is more than I could ever ask for in a post-secondary institution.
I find it awesome that of all the 100+ students' that work in the admissions office the two ladies I try to strive to be the most are the Dean of Admissions, and the President's Wife. Both Pam and Dianne invest so much time into our university, and the fact that they both take time to get to know the student workers, and actually learn our names and care about our lives astonishes me. I mean you would think they would have better things to do, right? Even if they do, their first concern is the well-being of the students, and whether their experience during the admissions process, and while they are on campus is that of a memorable one.
Y'all it's April already. I have 29 days until I finish with my sophomore year of college. (62 days until BURNT GIN though!) Anyways, the stress of this last month shouldn't' overbear anyone. We are all equipped with the knowledge to complete it...it's just the motivation we are lacking....trust me it's lacking. At the end of your last exam, I want you to be able to say this:
and with that being said, YOU CAN DO IT.
Ps I found a 4 leaf clover today! That's all the luck you need.
Just some food for thought... (no pun intended,)

Today a very special friend of mine's dad died. Cheryl was such an encouraging person who uplifted me so much this summer. She has never failed to make me smile, and she is such a strong woman.
I pray that her family find comfort during this hard time, and that she knows that all of the staff at CBG is here for her whenever she needs us.
WE LOVE YOU CHERYL.

March 3rd & 4th, 2014
More long days, but today I got some good news, the FANTASTIC 4 WILL REUNITE THIS SUMMER.
So excited to be able to spend another summer with three of the best girls anyone could ever ask for.
Find the value in true friends like Brooke, Allie, and Kat. They will strive to make you a better person daily.
Think about it,
LG.
