USA Life!

As a Junior this Fall 2018 semester, I try to prepare, study, and plan everything that needs to be done for the week coming up on that Sunday, as well as rest. A typical week begins at 7:00 A.M. Monday through Friday. I keep a daily planner in my book bag just in case anything changes or needs to be changed throughout the week. Having a 9:00 A.M. forces me to wake up earlier than most, it allows me to get a jump start of my day. I also try to eat breakfast every morning. Eating breakfast can lead to an outstanding day and helps you gain focus of your day. I ride the Jag-Tran to my classes and getting on the bus earlier leads you to getting to class at least five minutes ahead of time. After finishing classes, I like to spend a couple of hours out of the day at the library to review material covered in previous classes, and finish any homework that may need to be finished. Outside of academic life, I typically spend time in the Rec Center working out or hanging out with friends. I usually try to cook once a week, so that I wont spend extra money. Any activities that the school host, I try to attend to get my mind off of anything that has been stressing me or worrying me like school work, personal problems, etc. Then I start the week all over again. I usually try to keep a level head about things and not get so stressed, but that is the typical life style for a college student.

Five Fun Facts About ME!

     I am a small girl from an even smaller city. Five fun facts about me would include:

1. I am a country girl, I love outdoors. Mud-riding and attending the race track is my favorite. Being around family and friends while being there is such an excitement. My dad has been racing cars since I was a little girl. He named his car "ZILLA" and that has been the name every since. After all, who wouldn't love a good county girl? 

2. I am a very motivating, happy, laughing, and positive person. I try to give the people in my corner the best advice of my knowledge based upon the things that I know or have been through. I NEVER like to see myself down or anyone else. I have a warm small that will brighten the whole town. I try to not let things get me down, and if there is something wrong I do not let others see it. I consider myself a very strong and brave person. Things that were meant to tear me down were only meant for my good and help me become the young adult I am today.

3. I have 2 other siblings, with me being the middle child. My oldest sister is 25 years old. She attends The University of Auburn in Montgomery where she is obtaining her Master's Degree in OT. I also have a little brother who is 18 years old who attends The University of Southern Mississippi with a major in Constructive Engineering; and here I am, a nursing major here at South. I love them so much, I talk to both of them at least two-three times a day. It is such a joy having siblings.

4. I learned about USA from former friends who attended South. Every chance they had, they constantly reminded me of how I would be a good fit and how I would love it so much. I can say it is totally different from a community college. Change is constantly going on around me and I have to adjust. So far, they have not been wrong. I absolutely love being on this campus. GO JAGS!!

5. I am from a small town by the name of Jackson, Alabama. I rarely go home because I am always so busy here, but I love my hometown and of course most of the people that live there. It is a family town and also special in its own unique way. We have have/had many prosperous people from the little town. Home is where the heart is no matter how far or near you travel from it.
