Blogger Challenge Day 2

- A habit you wish you didn’t have

I have a lot of habits...but I guess a bad habit I wish I didn't have was to worry so much. Ew. I hate worrying, but I do it too often. I always feel like I have to have control over a situation, but I always need to remember to give everything to God. He's my Papa and He takes care of me! :)

Blogger Challenge Day 2

-What's the meaning behind your blogger name?

Well, my blogger name is "Juana's Blog (English Major)". Because I blog with my school (Regent! Holla!), the name was chosen by the person that heads up the blog page so that other people, both students at the school and non-students, could easily identify the blog. It's my name...my blog...my major...pretty clear. Buuuuut, if you really knew me, you'd know that if I had chosen my own blogger name, it'd probably have the words "pink" and "big hair" in them :)

Blogger Challenge Day 1

Ok, here's the first challenge of my blogger challenge:

- A recent picture of you and 5 interesting facts about yourself. Here goes!!!

1. I love to run and do cartwheels
2. I once ate a plastic cherry off a dessert display...my parents thought it was funny
3. I love smiling :)
4. I don't wear watches
5. I twist the ring around my finger when I'm nervous

This was taken at our Life Group Girl's Night Out, outside of the Commons...it's my current Facebook profile picture

So, a lot of my friends use Tumblr instead of Blogger.com. I've noticed that some of them have been doing the 30-day Tumblr challenge, so I wanted to get in on the action and do it, but with my blog.

Tie-Dye Date!!!

I had a pretty amazing Saturday night! It was our tie-dye date for the 3 East girls. The party was held in my quad and I baked brownies and put icing on them! Plus, I decked them out with sprinkles and pink/blue sparkles!!! Sooooo yummy! My roommate made brownies with walnuts and Oreo mudpie. Christen Allocco helped me deocorate the room with streamers and we set up the food. M & M's, powdered sugar, strawberries, everrrrrrything! The girls starting arriving around 8 and Christen and Destiny began making the waffles (and surprise! They made pancakes too!). We ate ourselves into oblivion! Lots of pictures were taken and we laughed and laughed! Then, it was time for the tie-dye! We went outside in the parking lot and tied up our t-shirts. Christen put the tie-dye mix in water bottles and we squirted the dye onto the t-shirts. It was a fun, new thing for me to experience! I think all of us girls had fun! A lot of people wondered why there were so many pretty ladies in the parking lot ;) A little later, the girls came back to the room and they chilled and watched a movie. Such a fun evening!!! (And my shirt came out pretty nice!!). I can't wait to hang with these ladies again! :)

My sweet brownies!

The waffles!

The fixings!

Ohhhh, Just Some Things I'm Excited For ;)

It's Thursday...my roommate likes to call our Thursdays here at Regent "early Fridays". There is a big long list of things I have to do before the weekend (submit Lit essay, take math quiz, clean the apartment, etc.). Buuuuuuuuut! There is also a big long list of things that are coming up that I cannot wait to do!

1. UnChapel tonight! I haven't been to UnChapel yet this semester, but I'm looking forward to going tonight!

2. Thursday Game Night after UnChapel!!! I missed half of it last week, but hopefully, I'll make it tonight! I love playing games with my friends! Woot woot!

3. Friday shopping trip to Walmart :)

4. Friday's "Movie on the Lawn", which will be featuring Toy Story 3, which I LOVED. Snacks and a movie outside?! Holla!

5. Saturday's Tie-Dye party for our awesome hall! I've never tie-dyed before, so I'm pretty excited. PLUS I get to hang out with my awesome new girlfriends who live in my hall, including our wonderful RA Christen! We get waffles and fun time. And I'm thinking I might bake some goodies...maybe ;)

6. The Regent Regatta, which will be an awesome boat race in our awesome pond! I didn't realize that the boats actually had to have people inside of them...yeah, they do. The Regatta isn't until next week, so if I decided to participate with my hall, we have 24 hours to make the boat. Who knows?! We might win!

So yes, these are the things for which I am excited for; God ALWAYS has amazing things planned for me :) My school is pretty amazing! Blessings!

Girl's Night Out

I joined a Life Group at Regent; it's like a small group Bible study for the girls on our floor. It's an amazing time to get together with my new girlfriends and talk about God. Once a month, we take a trip off campus for our life group meeting. For our first outing, we got all dolled up and went to California Pizza Kitchen. We all looked AMAZING! While we waited for other girls to meet us at the meeting spot, we talked and took pictures. After arriving at CPK, I had the hardest time trying to figure out what I wanted. There were so many good choices! Spicy chicken pizza, fettuccine alfredo, club sandwiches...oh my! I ended up getting the Greek pizza. It had olives, Mediterranean spiced chicken, feta cheese, red onions, and roma tomatoes with lemon vinaigrette. It was really interesting and really amazing! So delicious! (You know what I’m craving now!) The ladies and I talked over dinner and got to know each other better. Our cool LG leader, Megan, sat with us, too! We shared stories about how God is working in our lives, played the “favorite animal” game (thanks Megan!), and showed each other our driver’s license pictures. More pictures were taken after dinner in front of a neat fountain. A few of us were craving ice cream, so we walked to Cold Stone and got some sweet treats. What a fun night! I'm glad that I was able to enjoy such a fun evening with these awesome ladies! Here some pictures from our outing :) Blessings!
