I know I skipped a day but I was busy with my birthday so I’ll be ok. Day 10 we are on a roll. I bought lots of dorm stuff today, but it was just the basics towels, sheets, etc. I am getting super excited for move-in. It can’t come soon enough. for my birthday I got lots of clothes, shoes, and junk. I loved every second of it and I can’t wait for my next one. I got my conch piercing today, and let me tell you that shit was crunchy. Because it is piercing cartilage it seriously sound like somebody crunching in my ear. But whatever it looks gorgeous and next month I will most likely and get my conch on my other ear pierced. Good night from the future Messy College Girl!

Day 9 but not to whine!
This is not a day to complain or bitch about my life because I turn 18 very shortly, it almost feels unreal and I cannot believe I am lucky enough to see this day! I am excited about what I will receive from my family (I know I am getting a new phone because the one I have had for like the past 4 years is crusty and a little slow). I don’t have much to say today, except that my arms don’t hurt anymore and I was able to babysit and pick up the 4 year-old today so no weakness from what I can tell. Hopefully you guys will share something that has made you happy this week, or what you are excited for later on but once again goodnight from the future Messy College Girl.

Day 8; Oh the weight!
Uhm so welcome to day eight, I am doing okay other than the fact that I should have researched donating platelets better… Uhm so the process takes about 2 1/2 hours… I didn’t know that until the red cross people informed me during my medical screening. Uhm another thing, you cannot move your arms for the duration of the process once your inner elbow has been disinfected with the alcohol swab. Overall my arms are sore the nurses said that my veins are teeny tiny and my arms are sore and I feel as though I didn’t produce enough platelets. Obviously every bit helps but there was this guy beside me also donating platelets and his bags full of platelets looked like they were gonna burst. I contributed which is all that matters. I donate blood on Monday and then platelets again that Friday. I think if I were never to donate platelets again it would still be too soon but I pushed through. While I was there I watched Straw which was amazing! No spoilers here, but what you think is happening may not actually be what is happening. Then I had about 45 min left in which I picked up watching the resident where I had left off in like season six. Give me more movie recommendations that you think would be good for when I am donating platelets on Friday, I’M DESPERATE. I desperately urge you to donate platelets, plasma, blood, anything because if you have it there sure as hell is someone who needs it. I am super excited thinking about not only my birthday but moving into my dorm in the fall and meeting my roommate face-to-face. If you know where to shop for dorm essentials that are earth-toned, NOT MUTED, just earth-toned let me know and leave a comment of this post! Goodnight- the future Messy College Girl.

Day 7 another beckon!
So I am on day 2 of kids camp and I am loving it. I do this every year and every year the kids seem to get more interesting. Today I just want to talk about giving blood and platelets. I’ve given blood once (the second time my hemoglobin was just barely under so I couldn’t donate). I encourage you guys that if you can to go donate whenever possible. Some people are afraid of needles and the needles they use for blood donation are BIG but if you can handle it please do donate. If you donate platelets you get an amazon gift card btw, and you can donate every seven days. I am not personally squeamish with needles but my mother is so I get it. Anytime me or anybody in the family get blood drawn my mom will cry so I want to let you know that if you can’t stomach it that’s ok but please consider it. Today was a good day, just tiring I got home around noon from kids camp and I was knocked out until about 6pm. Those kids are no joke. I am in charge of 30 kids all under age 13 for 2 hours trying to teach them a sport they have zero interest in, most of them anyways. I met this lovely older man the other day while I was practicing on the range and he too was a fellow lefty. He told me that he only started playing when he was 40 and feels embarrassed because he typically does not play as well as his friends and as a result whenever I see him I give him five tips to put into practice. I don’t know if it truly helps but I hope it does. It is never too late to start doing something you want to do, you just have to start and from then on it will begin to be a part of your daily or weekly routine. Goodnight chickies; the future Messy College Girl.

Today’s the day!
I have just started this blog at 10:10 pm on June 11th, 2025. I do not know what will come from this but I cannot wait to see! A little about me… I am 17, turning 18, on June 21st. This means that once I have my birthday I am legally on my own but not physically. I move in to college around August 15-16 of this year which means if you are anything like me, I basically am moving in tomorrow. I have nothing I need for my dorm room, a roommate who dropped me just this afternoon, and a new roommate being secured as we speak. I will be on a pre-med track while I double-major in both Health Sciences and Finance. I want to become Valedictorian, and given that I have 4 years, it seems pretty manageable. I had a rough time going through regular school switching between public schools and private schools. Never black enough, never white enough the same shebang you hear from many other biracial people. Anyways, I graduated on May 23rd, not early or anything with a an associate’s degree, just with my overpriced high school diploma laminated in a luxurious looking bifold. I was not accepted to any ivy league or highly prestigious school, just one with a large acceptance rate instate and a pathway to get me to medical school. I also want to mention my current addiction right now, nicotine. I fell into the trap and am part of the statistics. I would like to say that I can quit whenever I want but truth be told, we both know that it’s a lie and that if I could, I would have done so by now. I have only been vaping for about a year and I have tried as follows, and in this order, ELF bars, Lost Mary’s, Breeze Pros, and now Geek bars. I am not really one for a sweet flavor so I have always gone with something that I can’t really taste like now, Miami Mint. My goal is to take you guys with me as I venture through the next four years living on my own, making my own decisions 24/7; 365, and hopefully quitting nic. I hope to post everyday, but lets be real a bitch that’s been vaping for a little over a year cannot for the life of her remember anything. Goodnight from the future messy college girl.
