College Videos

Oh college. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I could write a whole book about some of my best and worst college experiences, but I won't do that (right now). Here are some of my favorite college memories that I caught on film. In no particular order:

1. Girls Night In. This night Megan, Amanda, and Courtney came over to my apartment to make cookies and watch Step Up. We set up the air mattress and lounged around all night. Then Amanda felt inspired to dance. I think this video describes all of our personalities very well. Courtney is the one laying on the mattress CRACKING UP. Amanda is the one with the sweet dance skills, Megan is the sarcastic one, and I'm behind the camera.

 

 

2. Belk Library Rave. I know we aren't Carolina or any other big school, so it isn't as impressive, but the library rave was so much fun! Everyone gathered in the library, the music was blasting, some guy was dressed up in a head to toe gorilla costume. Heck, I even stood on one of the book shelves! It was a fun night of chaos!

 

 

3. Spice Girls Dance. One night I had Kelsey and Katie spend the night. We spent the night talking, laughing, watching movies, and dancing around the living room. The next morning we woke up, made breakfast, and danced some more. This is the result.

 

4. Roadtrip. This was coming back from one of our annual Wilmy Weekends. At this point we were all tired, sick of being in the car, and trying not to think about going back to school. That is when hilarity, terrible singing, and craziness ensued.

 

5. Strawberry Wine. This was freshman year when we were just babies. We had a lake weekend at Lindsey's house and set up beds all over the floor. This was kind of our anthem freshman year.

Some honorable mentions would include: trying to unwrap tootsie rolls in our mouths, roomie rocking out to I Believe In A Thing Called Love, the infamous Abused Children Don't Shower, the Walmart driveby, and snowday water bottles!

 

 

 

Awesome Videos!

Hey yall! Hope everyone had a great weekend.
I just wanted to share 2 videos I came across this weekend. They are both amazing and brought tears to my eyes.

This first one is Lady GaGa and the adorable little 10 year old girl who covered Born This Way. If you haven't seen the original video, go to youtube and type in 'Maria covers Born This Way.' Anyways, apparently Lady GaGa invited little Maria to come to her concert and sing with her up on stage. I admire this about Lady GaGa for a few reasons:
1. I think Lady GaGa's message in this song is absolutely wonderful. I would start quoting lyrics but I would have to just quote the whole song pretty much. But the message this song gives across is to be comfortable with who you are because that's the way God made you. Yes, I think GaGa is a little crazy at times, but if this is something that people of all ages are listening to, I can be okay with that.
2. How awesome for Lady GaGa to recognize this little girl's talent and heart and bring her up on stage. I can't even imagine how much that meant to little Maria. I love when celebrities and people of influence are so kind to the people supporting them!
So, here is the link to the video of them singing together:

And the next video I found is a sweet little boy singing a cover of "Just the Way You Are" and dedicating it to his little sister, who has Down Syndrome. Cute overload! Seriously, the lyrics to this song alone are enough to make me teary eyed, but when a little boy sings these words about his precious special needs sister, all hell breaks loose and I completely lose it! So here it is:

Enjoy :)
and continue to pray for sweet Aiden, as he has surgery to remove his port today!
