Hey guys! It has been a while but I want to say thank you for following my life. I am now a month and a half deep into college, and I can confirm it is WAY better than high school. I have fall break from the 22nd of October to the 26th of October. I am super excited to go back home and have a car again, alum, I’m sure you know the feeling. I am doing okay in my classes but my bio lecture and statistics classes have been beating my ass. I will start posting everyday or every other day again, and take you through my college journey with me. Deepest apologies for briefly abandoning you guys, The Messy College Girl

Day 10 do you have a pen?
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 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 4 who could ask for more?
After yesterday’s post I want to just kind of keep it short and sweet. I have found my new roommate and she is so lovely and amazing and we are already planning so much dorm stuff so I am so excited!!! She is going to orientation a couple of days ahead of me so from that we should be able to make a mock up of our room. I am so unbelievably excited and overwhelmed. I have started my journey in faith for the 1000th time now and while I am not turning this into a walk in my life through Christ blog I just wanted to let you guys know. In now way is this an attempt to shove my religion down anyone’s throat, I am just simply informing you guys. I am super excited to start buying all of my dorm stuff and father’s day is tomorrow and we are taking my dad to a whiskey dinner because he loves whiskey like in a way that is like kind of insane but he is about to retire so this is his new hobby, collecting whiskey and bourbon. I will be back tomorrow but to all of those dads out there, Happy Father’s Day. And for those without a father (due to death or absence or anything in between) hug that father figure in your life just a little bit harder and let them know that you are thankful they stepped up to the plate and conquered all the challenges that came with the title of father. Your father figure can be male or female, just someone who encourages you, tells you when you are settling when you deserve more, and someone who will give up anything to provide for you and keep you safe. Until tomorrow; the future Messy College Girl.

Day 2 here we come!
I have just woken up, it is 1:45 in the afternoon and I am still very tired. I am thinking about doing some more volunteer work throughout the summer and maybe do a bit of travelling up the coast to maybe New York and the Jersey Shore. I don’t really have any friends to go with because during high school in the midst of my senior year, my friends of almost eight years said they didn’t like me anymore and as a result dropped me right before the holidays (That’s a story for another time). I have some people that I am still friends with, but they have their own stuff they are doing this summer to prepare for college. Has the summer leading up to freshman year of college always felt like this for everyone? You feel like you don’t have a purpose, because if you were still in high school then you would be planning out summer work and doing cute things with friends to prep for the incoming school year. I feel like I have no purpose, obviously I have to prepare for college and buy decorations and sheets and books and whatnot, but I feel like it is too early to start doing that. What do you guys think? I am very type A and like to plan everything out down to the last second. Most people my age are not like this at all so like when I talk about it I am met with oh i don’t need a list, or oh I’ll just figure it out. I physically for the life of me cannot just figure it out, I NEED a plan of every little thing I need. At the end of the day though my birthday is nine days away and nothing really matters after 18 anyways. My new roommate is super fun and is extroverted but not in like a go out and party every night type of way just like in a few parties here and there like me. She likes going out on walks, personal time, and people (just not in the dorm, but honestly I’m the same way). I feel like we will get along pretty well but like always I am scared that she is absolutely gonna hate me, like obviously I know she won’t but I am permitted to my irrational fears just as much as the next person. I get to live in the new dorms on my college campus with AC, modern kitchens, and get this there are only two other dorms buildings near mine. Alright that is all I can think of for now. Tell me some of your college roommate horror stories, stuff I need to pack but most people forget, and tips and tricks to survive freshman year especially the first few weeks.
All the best,
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.
