if r o b i n ruled the world.: you so [a n t i] don't nothing matter.

sooooo, it's september now. last time i checked in, my head was rough to saying goodbye to my braids/african queen twists!! haa.

but you know i couldn't leave it rough for long. you can't really tell, but i cut my hair. just stage 2 of this going natural thing.

i'm still falling head over heels in ♥♥ for none other than, yes. . . .my macbook pro!!!! haha.

but, anywhoooo. i was sooo tired about hearing about everyone else being in college. but my time came. august 29th has came && went.

well i packed my dreams, my aspirations, my hopes, but most importantly my stuff!! && went to start my journey of higher education.

after twenty-five minutes we arrived to hampton && i moved in. there's not too much to it. but never really realized how anti-social i was until i got here. i have yet to make a "girl" associate that i feel comfortable hanging around with. && to make matters worst almost everyone was here during the summer for "pre-college" so everyone basically knows each other, ugh.

sooooo, me being me, && a good buddy, i became the only girl out of a group of four.

this is me!! of course. nothing really to say that you don't already know. same ol Rob, in a new kind of world.

this is Travis!! a friend from high school. i met him during my debutante. && we've been cool ever since. he was even my senior prom date. i'm glad he goes here, cuz i would be lost without him. he's cool tho, gotta put a praise on him, haa.

next we have Koron. he's a basketball player from Philly. he's a great singer too! he eats a looooot && got alllllllllllll the bait, lol. but he's pretty cool.

lastly we have Clayton, or C3. i knew he was trouble from the start, jay kay. but he's from Cali. i think he has been the meanest to me soo far, lol. he likes to jerk and if i got a dollar for every time someone asked him to teach them how, i'd be rich. he keeps calling me jerry because of my curls, ugh. but overall he's cool too.

i eat breakfast with these guys, walk just about everywhere, && even work out with them!! lol.

now i know some must be thinking, "what about your roommate robin??"

i'm glad you asked. i will post a pic of her next time i promise, but she's. . . . .just not someone i would hang with. she's okay, don't get me wrong but we have some major differences.

for example, look at my side of the room,

&& look at hers. . . .

now i must admit my desk is a little junky from cords && new papers && such, but. . .

at least i don't have my side looking like this. come on now?!?

&& she has these tracks in that shed all over the floor. so guess what i did?? i got the broom && swept it alllll on to her side of the room. i refuse to clean up after her. but like i said, she's okay. nothing tooo personal, just not my crowd. she has her own friends anyway, cuz she went to pre college.

today's food for thought are three simple indicators for how you know when you are at a HBCU. [historically black college/university] for the acronymally impared!

Number One: you know you are at a hbcu when they give you a comb, brush, && scarf in your orientation packet!!!!! only black people.

Number Two: you know you are at a hbcu when people rep their dorms like gangs. "HARKNESS!!! TWITCHELL!! MOTON!!! JAMES!!!" i guess it's school spirit tho, lol.

Number Three: you know you are at a hbcu when you register for your computers && they tell you that you can't have limewire, frostwire, etc. but then then they pop in a dvd to watch while we all wait. what dvd you ask?? transformers two!! no limewire, but bootlegs are okay??

gotta love it tho. i must admit although i haven't even been here a full week yet, college is the most funny, interesting, free, && even loneliest place. to me, that is. but hey, let's see what happens when classes start.

no matter how i feel i'll always keep a smile on my face. a wise person once said: "smile to keep from crying, it really works." i guess thas what i'll do!!
