Life updates and such

Hello everyone!
I am so sorry for the lack of blogging lately, as I have been focusing on school and homework and such. I moved into SCSU about three weeks ago, and I absolutely love my new home here! The people are extremely nice and friendly, I've already made some really good friends here... I may have even met a cute boy. 
I love my classes, and I love that I know at least one person in each one. My roommate is a sweetheart, and we get along super well and I love our late night talks together. I actually even met one of my best/closest friends here already through the band, and joining band was honestly the best decision in my entire life. It introduces you to so many new people that you'd probably never meet otherwise, and they are extremely friendly too. I love seeing band members around campus because they'll smile or wave at me every time, even if I don't really know them either. 
We have our first football game halftime show that we perform in tomorrow and I am extremely excited but nervous at the same time. And then, I am coming home on Friday! I cannot wait to see all of my family and a few friends too. It's so weird not knowing anyone here from school, but at the same time I really like it because I am still keeping in touch with some of my really good friends from high school. 
Just wanted to keep you all updated on my first couple weeks of college!
Xoxo, Kersten.

It's been a while...

Have you ever just felt that you are in the right place at the right time?
I can already tell that college is going to be the BEST four years of my life. I have only been here for a week, and let me tell you, I love it so much here! It feels a lot more like home than my hometown ever did. Of course there are times when I miss my friends and family back home, but if I don't think about it isn't bad at all. I just know that I am supposed to be here, seriously.
Band camp was actually amazing, I already feel like I'm a part of a new family, which is such an amazing feeling to be honest. Every time that I see a band member around campus, they'll wave at me and smile and I immediately feel at home.
My classes started today, and they were actually really great. My morning started off right which made the rest of my day amazing. One of my new friends and I stopped at Starbucks before our first class which was Biology 101, and it had 100 people in the class...
The next best part of my day was when I was waiting in the hallway for my English class to start and the cute boy from band walks up to me and we just started chatting, and he asked if he could sit with me since he and I didn't know anyone else in the class, which of course made me very, very happy.
After a long day of classes, I came back to my dorm and my roommate said there was a present from her on my desk. Sitting on my desk was a Harry Potter coloring book that I have literally always wanted! There was also a note saying "I heard you say you wanted this so I picked it up for you." It's just the little things like that that really make your day.
So, with all that being said I can't wait for classes tomorrow!
Until next time, xoxo, K.

New beginnings

Hello everyone!
Today's been just a bit bittersweet and nostalgic. It blows my mind that I move in to my dorm room tomorrow and classes also start a week from tomorrow! I am extremely excited to be starting my new life in just a couple of hours! Yes I am very nervous as well, but I only really get nervous when I think about it, if that makes sense. 
Yesterday I had a wonderful day with my family, it was nice to see everyone again and have them over for lunch. 
Today my sister and I went to Starbucks this morning to start our days off with some coffee, of course, it's a necessity. After that, I packed a little more (I'm almost done!) and then my mom and I  went to work out at the gym together, which was nice since we never get to go together anymore. Tonight I am getting dinner at Applebee's (my favorite) with my family for one last time. 
Yes I will miss my family and best friends dearly but I am very, very excited for all that is to come this year and to finally be living on my own and exploring who I really am. 
Until next time! Xoxo, K.

A little nostalgic...

Today I've honestly just been feeling a bit nostalgic, as I am heading off to college on Monday I am enjoying my last couple of days at home with my friends and family. This past week has seriously flown by, I can't believe that I only have two days left until I move. As nervous as I am, I am also extremely excited. I'm excited to start over, seriously. I'll be going to a school where I only know five other people from my high school going there, and it's an hour and a half away from home, which isn't too bad. 
Anyways, I've had a really great past couple of days with my friends and family.
On Wednesday, my best friend and I spent our last day together sadly, but I had an amazing time as I mentioned in my previous blog post. Yesterday, I got to spend some time with my sister for once which was really nice. I packed, and relaxed of course. 
Tonight is my last night out with my friends, and I'm kind of sad to be honest. My friends and I are all getting together for one last time and having a nice dinner at Osaka, which I am very excited about because I love hibachi! And spending time with them of course.  Tomorrow, my cousins, aunt, and grandparents are coming up for one last family dinner/get together and I'm super excited to see all of them for one last time. 
With all that being said I am just very excited for new beginnings that are on their way. 
Until next time, xoxo, K.

The Best Day

Have you ever just had such a good day where absolutely nothing goes  wrong and you just want to tell everyone about it? Well, that's exactly how my day went yesterday. 
To start my day off, I got to sleep in pretty late for once and actually got a decent night of sleep. I'd say I woke up around about 9:30 or 10. Some would say that's too early, but to me it isn't. I have kind of had trouble sleeping lately so it was nice to actually have a good night's sleep last night. Anyways, after I had woken up and got ready and all, my mom and I headed out the door and went to go get our hair done together. Mine turned out super cute! I just got all of my split ends off (finally) and my eye brows waxed, and let me tell you they turned out amazing! One of my favorite things is when you have a nice lady that does your hair for you. 
Anyways, after getting my hair and eyebrows done, I went back home and had a decent lunch before relaxing for a few hours. In the meantime, I started a new show on Netflix called "The Secret Life of The American Teenager", I'm sure you've all heard of it. I'm already addicted!
After relaxing for a while, I went to go pick up one of my best friends, Sara, for a girls day together since it would be one of our lasts. We decided to go and see the movie "Bad Mom's", and it was SO much better than I thought it would be! Seriously I highly recommend seeing it. Anyways, after seeing that, Sara and I went to Buca Di Beppo for dinner, and it was seriously amazing! 
So, that was my amazing day that I had yesterday. Have you had a really good day lately? I'd love to hear all about it! Until next time, xoxo, Kersten.

Oh how time flies by...

Hello everyone!
Long time no talk, I know, I know. And I apologize, I do. But as a teenage girl that is moving into college next week, my summer has suddenly been extremely busy. Let's get a little bit caught up with each other. 

First of all, I just thought I should let you all know that this coming Monday, I will be moving in to my dorm room! I will be attending St. Cloud State in central Minnesota, for (hopefully) the next four years. I plan on getting my bachelor's degree with a major in Spanish education, and hopefully a minor in special ed if all goes well. I am very excited for this journey to begin, as you can tell! I will also be rushing this coming September, which I am also very excited about!

Anyways, this past weekend I was up north near Duluth with my family for one last family vacation. And before we left, I had my last day of work (for a while at least). It's honestly so crazy to think about how quickly time really does fly by. 

This week, I will be packing up to start my new adventure at St. Cloud State. I am very excited to blog all about my college life/experience within the coming days, weeks, and month! Very excited things to come, stay tuned. Until next time.


                      Xoxo,
