The 2008 Presidental Election

The 2008 election has been very interesting so far. First the fight was between Hilary and Barack. Now the fight is between John McCain and Barack Obama. A lot of women wanted to see Hilary stay in the race because she was the first women candiate to run for president. History is still being made to this day with Obama being the first African American candiate to run for president. These historical events have awaking America and got them more involved in the election. It has also made a huge impact on college campuses in America. More younger people have decided to vote this year. This is why the 2008 election is so important. Everyone wants to be apart of history, know who is going to win, and what can they do for our country.
Today at the University of Mississippi, there will be an presidental debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. People are very exicted to watch this event because of the history behind it. I know Obama will rock this debate. He is aways prepared and knows what to say. I don't know if McCain is prepared or not. He makes himself look scared to debate against Obama beause he wanted to drop out of the race a day before the debate. He says that the stock market is about to crash and that is more important than the election. I believe that he knows that he is going to lose and that is why he wants to quit. McCain should stand strong and finish this race like a man. I can't wait until this election is over over and victory is won by Barack Obama.

My Life Lately

During these past few weeks of school, I have had so much fun. Everyday has been a journey. So many differnt things to do. First I have to go to class. Then, I have fun with my friends and see what they are up too. There are also so many meetings that go on around campus involving differnt organizations. Finally, I try to fit a little time to study into my schedule.
When I go to class, it feels like all of my energy is taking away from me. I am attentive and take notes but I just feel so tired sometimes. I don't really know what it is. Maybe it is because I don't get enough sleep at night. I need to learn how to get off the phone at night and take my butt to sleep. It's hard trying to wake up a six thirty to get ready for an eight o'clock class. Hopefully I will get use to it before the semester is over.
When I'm with my friends, it's like I have no cares at all. I forget about all the homework and other things that give me headache. We just have so much fun and laugh about everything. Most of the time we just sit around and do nothing but talk to each other about our problems. I love hanging with my friends. Without them I would be a sad person.
Half of my time goes to this organization called AASO. This organization helps you to get involved on campus and helps you meet new people that have already experienced what we are going through now. They have different branches of the organization such as community service, dance team, and gospel choir. My friends and I am apart of the gospel choir. We love to sing.
When I get through doing all of these things, I try to find time for studying. I have to study to get through college, so i do what i have to do.

My Shopping Addiction

Shopping is a very bad habit that I have inherited from my mother. We both love to shop for everything you think of. This is a really hard habit to break.
You go in the store and see all these beautiful things. It seems like they are calling your name. They want to come home with you. I buy everything that I can afford. Sometimes I buy thing that I know I sholudn't have. I just love expensive things. Even tho I don't have the budget to buy expensive things, I still manage to get what I want.
My mother does the same exact thing. She will go in the store and buy whatever she wants. She claims that she don't have any clothes. My mother has two closets full of clothes and shoes. She has enough for each season, the whole year around. I'm the one that grows out of my clothes every year. So I need to get new clothes every year.
My mother and I also love to shop for shoes. Shoes are like the most important thing to have. If you don't have shoes on your feet, you are screwed. I love to shop for flats, heels, and boots. I like to wear flats to shop and just around the city. I love to wear heels on special occasions such as weddings, parties, or just a night out on the town.
My other addiction is purses. I love to wear and shop for them. When you have a nice purse on your arm, your outfit is complete. It also makes you feel good inside.
Going to the mall and shopping just makes you feel good. That's why I love to shop.

Homework

The homework at the University of Southern Mississippi is so no difficult. It's just a lot to do at one time. You would think that it would be better since you only have five classes. No it is not like that. The homework just hit you like a bomb at the end of the week. You think that you are good for the whole week. Then, you get to classes and the teacher says that the assignment is due Friday. You are mad because you know you have other homework due for each of you other classes.
I love doing my homework online. It's fun and so different from what i am use to. You think that the work will be easy for you to complete since the teacher went over it in class. That is not aways the case. When you get online, you realize that some of the work it new to you. The teacher did not go over it. You are worried how you are going to do this work. If you wanna pass the class, you know you have to do the work. While you are trying to complete your work, you get frustrated and upset because you have to figure out how to do it. You may try to put if off until the next day. In the back of your mind you know that the deadline is slowly approaching. You say that you will do it the night before it is due. When that night come, you get upset,tired, and start blaming yourself for waiting until the last minute to do homework. Finally you complete it a few minutes before it is due and is so relieved.
This is the reason why you should always pay attention in class. Read your syllabus daily and make sure you study for test and quizzes. Also complete all assignment's that are due for the week. By doing these things, you should be able to get through your college years.
