Emerging Roles During TCU's Icepocalypse

Icepocalypse 2013 at TCU has brought out some strange roles that we ourselves can relate to or know somebody who is. Enjoy and good luck on finals!!

The Leader/ Guide

They are probably from “up north” like Chicago and probably know how to handle situations like these.  They are usually bragging about how this is nothing.

Notice the guy ahead of everyone else!

The Hoarder

This person collects and stores all necessary items like food, medicine, warm clothing (like gloves, who would have thought of packing gloves for Texas), but mostly food.

What do you need?!

The Californian

Or from somewhere that never snows.  They are amazed at everything that is going on and usually the one taking 50,000 pictures.  Also, they think their Brandy Melville sweater is going to keep them warm.  Girl, are you crazy? That sweater has holes in it that the wind cuts through. 

By the 3^rd day, they have to wear a mix match of clothes to keep warm.

The Ultimate Student

Don’t brother them or let them know, it’s freezing outside.  They know but they are focused on studying so they can get an A in Organic Chemistry.  Biggest struggle for them is that the library is closing at 5 tonight.

Are you a robot?

The Distracter

He or she is the opposite of the “Ultimate Student,” they barely know what day it is but what they do know is that the hills by the rec are best for sledding!  They usually get everybody hyped up and ditch their studies to go sneak into the stadium.

Weeeeeeeee!

The Crasher

Oh I’m sorry you live in Greek.  You can sleep on my floor if you don’t want to walk back.

Take an Advil for your back pain.

The Follower

They are like a dog.  They follow the group, so if everybody is studying, then they are studying and if everybody is outside, then they are ready to play at moments notice.

“Wait, what’s the plan?”

Fast Forward

Wow how this blog is way off now but still has the same essence of who I am today.

Update #1
I am at a new college, no longer attending one in California but now onto the wild state of Texas!

Update #2
I have another sister.  My parents could not stop at two, they needed more... can you say AA (adoption anonymous).

Update #3
I changed my career path. I am now majoring in Kinesiology on the Pre-Occupational Therapy track.

A lot of things have changed but those are major changes.  Changes are part of the process of life, I guess.  We have to keep moving forward, adapt, and welcome change.

The Daylights.

I saw a flyer that they are going to be preforming at my school.  So I checked them out.  Not bad I must say.  They toured with Needtobreathe and One Republic.

Ink.

I guess it is because of my age but I recently have been wanting a tattoo.  I have never wanted one because of two reasons. Number one I didn't know where to put it and number two I didn't have something that I wanted to have on my body for the rest of my life.  But now, that has all changed.  I know what I would want and where.  It would say "I live to let you shine" (read the post about light if you don't get the meaning).  It would be on the side of my left arm.  On the side note, I want this so badly that I even had my friend write it on me with sharpie.  That is where the photo above is from.

Movies I am excited for...

Shedding some light

Something that the bible talks about that I love is light.  Throughout the bible, there are references to God being light and illuminating the lives of his followers lives.  It makes me think of the first bible verse I learned, "Your word is a lamp onto my feet and a light onto my path" (Psalm 119:105).  This verse explains how God is a lamp and how he directs us with his light.  I love how this is a great reminder that I have somebody leading me.  Along with God being light, God gives us to the light.  In Isaiah 42:6, Isaiah 49:6, Psalm 76:4, Proverbs 13:9, Matthew 5:14-16, Luke 8:16, Luke 11:33-36, Luke 16:8, John 12:36, Acts 13:47, Ephesians 5:13-14, Ephesians 5: 8-10, 1 Thessalonians 5:5, and 1 John 2: 5-9.  I think that is all the verses that shows God promising or giving his people light.  I think Matthew 5:14-16 clearly explains how we are given the light to shed light to the world.

Going off of illuminating the world, personally I have found it hard to be a light in college.  This is surprising though because I am going to a Christian college.  You would think it would be easy to be a light here.  But no, it is not.  My friend, Tiffy explained this to me in a really cool way.  She explained as it is easy being the light in a dark room because you can easily shine.  The light is needed and it is crucial that you are the brightest you can be.  However, if you are already in a lit room, there is not much of a need to be a light.  There is already light so you can get into the mentality of not feeling needed.  But Tiffy, the smart lady she is, reminded me that if you can shine bright in that lit room, imagine how bright you would be in a dark room.

Twins for Life

Something that I realized that I will never grow out of is my love for the Olsen twins.  As a child, I loved the Mary-Kate and Ashley movies, TV shows, books, and barbies.  I would even print out pictures of them and make my hairstylist cut my hair like theirs.  I just wanted to be the third twin despite there is no such thing as a third twin and I am much darker than them.  I just absolutely loved them.  Recently I have realized that my love for them has not stopped.  Now, I am inspired by their style.  If I could, I would print off pictures of their outfits and go to the store for that exact outfit.  Too bad, the Olsen twins have a bigger shopping budget than me.  I guess what I am saying is that I still wish I was the third twin.

^ Wanted my hair like that when I was little ^
