Hey! So I have had many blogs before. My first was when I was 14 turning 15. It did not last very long, not long at all. I had daily updates about my life/activities but found it too time consuming and way too repetitive. So this blog is to talk about whatever happens and how I feel about about it. I will not update about my daily happenings, but I'll try to make it regular (at least twice a month/week).
So let me introduce myself. My name is Ashleigh and I am a sophomore at a small college. I also work part time at a local preschool. My hometown is small, very small. Everyone knows everyone and knows everyone's business. That could be good or bad. My family is very well-known and respected in this town. Again, thats good and bad part. Well known or not, my family is awesome. I have a sister, a mommy, a daddy, and of course a doggy. We are all very close and we are also close with my grandma, my aunts, uncles and cousins. My family means the world to me and I can't imagine life without them.
I also have the world's best friends. They are all so different, that they really don't get along. I have a friend, Ariana, is a typical American blonde cheerleader. We'll leave it at that. I met her through another friend the summer before 7th grade, Actually they were fighting, and I was yelling at her on behalf of our other friend, but somehow me and her became bestest friends. Another one, Megan, is really into movies, and is more or less majoring in movies at her university. We met in kindergarden and actually lost contact when she switch schools, but quickly became friends again in middle school. My friend, Katie, as been one of my best friends since kindergarden. We actually say that we have been friends since we were in the womb because her grandfather and my mom actually worked together before!!! My friend, Kristalyn, is my friend I met right before I started college. She is a genius!!! She is my academic lifeline, and favorite person to iChat. My friend Matt is actually a year and half younger than me. I met him when we worked a summer job together 3 summers ago and we instantly clicked. We are really bad at talking regularly, but when we do - it goes on for hours!! These friends have become my family and have stuck by me no matter what. I have had many friends come and go, but these guys always seem to stick around!!! I love as if they were my sisters/brother.
Let's see, what else is there? My life pretty much revolves my job. I work at a preschool and do tons of babysitting on the side. I am so obsessed with my work! I make my class schedule around my work hours, even plan my social life around it. Again, I am obsessed. Despite working a lot for someone my age, I still managed to maintain a 3.6 GPA this semester, giving me a 3.47 overall. I do take school very seriously. The way I look at it; if I'm going to be stuck at a school for another 2.5 years, might as well make the best of it. Being a commuter, there is a lot of I spend off campus. This makes me feel a little disconnected from campus life. Not like there is much of a campus life at my school, but not living in the dorms does give me the feeling of missing out on the "college experience". That's all for now. k?great
