About Me

My photo
I'm bighearted, I'm a perfectionist, and I take my time on everything but still manage to be punctual. I take pride in being born and raised in the South because my family allowed me freedom to instill a standard of discipline within myself that I will carry within my heart and mind for the rest of my life. I make lists, a habit gained from my best friend, and I do not like to settle for less of anything. I have found that being a hard-worker is the most rewarding attribute that I have because it comforts me and motivates others. Other than performing, choreographing, and dancing, my favorite hobbies are reading and writing. I would never pass up a chance to write about anything for a living because I find it soothing...hence the beginning of my blog. Blogs were brought to my attention in one of my classes, and I decided to take the time to start one when I realized all of the amazing things that are happening to me so far in my senior year. I never want to forget the bliss that is currently in my heart so I am taking on the task of becoming a blogger.

More sweet than bitter...

As I have been driving in and out of Hartsville for the past couple of weekends, visiting family, attending a wedding, and traveling home for Fall break, I have noticed this special feeling I get when I leave and return to the city. I can't pinpoint exactly what this feeling is but I believe that makes it even more unique.  I know it is derived from memories, friendships, experiences, possibilities, and the overall charm of Coker College.  I also know that I will carry this feeling with me for the rest of my life.

Every year I have been at Coker has been full of excitement, opportunities, and room for individual growth.  This year, I cannot put the level of my happiness into words.  The first time I walked onto the stage of the Watson Theater, I knew that I belonged at Coker.  Four years later, I feel like I am exactly where I should be in my life.

I am appreciative, motivated, determined, leading, making important decisions, asking questions, taking on responsibilities, volunteering, taking risks, creating, showcasing, and performing art, and experiencing how hard work pays off in all situations.  I am living like never before and it may very well be linked to this feeling or mindset I previously described.

Senior year is already going by too fast but it just keeps getting better.  My hopes are that this blog will help me capture all of the moments I want to remember from this bittersweet ('more sweet than bitter') year.
