Suitemates :)

Well...College has been amazing so far.......One thing I love is that Erica and I have the BEST SUITEMATES EVER!

Janelle & Makayla!

We stayed up last night/early this morning..... laughing, and having a really good time together :)

Here are a few characteristics of these girls......

1. Adorable! (Just look at the first picture on this blog post.)

2. Hilarious! I always end up laughing when they're around. :)

3. Accident Prone. One of them is always getting injured.

Janelle hurt her elbow during our amazing late night ninja video.

4. Caring. :)

That was so sweet of Makayla to put a bandaid on Janelle's injured elbow. :)

5. Artistic!
(Makayla drew this cute picture on our mirror.)

They are truly beautiful (inside and out) and I'm so glad we're suitemates!

We are requesting to be suitemates next year!!! If they don't let us, then we are going to hold a tutu fairy protest!!

 ...Right Janelle?

:)

Antiques!

This weekend was amazing!

&&& It was so nice to have a break from all the school work.

On Friday my parents came to pick me up and we went antique shopping on the way home...

We found so many awesome things!

That night, I went swimming with my sister and a bunch of my friends and then out for ice cream. :)

Lots of other things happened during my weekend, but those are a few of the highlights! :)

 I should really be doing some homework right now, but thanks for taking the time to read my blog!

Have a great week!

Optimistically, Bethany Lea :)

A Taco & A Turkey

So, this school week has gone by really fast and I am so excited for what the rest of the semester has in store for both Erica and myself!

 :)

We had some free time this afternoon and went a little crazy with the inside jokes.....

Yes, I drew both of these pictures.....don't judge. :)

We also now have some new favorite phrases....

"Happy. What's happy? Cows are happy and they end up as Sloppy Joe's." - Pretty Little Liars

"Sit, Sit, There may be a dinner."

&

"Do you have a chicken for my table?"

- The Princess Diaries 2

Today's post was short & simple, but what would expect on a day when you have nothing better to do but draw pictures , watch movies, and play uno????

Thanks for reading my blog!

Optimistically, Bethany Lea :)

New Friends, Dorm Changes & Date Night?

So far these past two days at college have been amazing!

I have made plenty of friends and am all loving my classes! :)

This week has definitely been very memorable and I hope that it continues to be...

Folders, Cereal Storage Bins, Cookie Dough, Whales, Hair Clips, Ice Cream..... VERY IMPORTANT things for college <3

Erica and I made a trip to Wal-Mart for a few necessary items...make that 3 trips :)

We also moved my bed from the top bunk and made our beds into an "L" shape so that we can both watch tv, lay on our beds, and see each other while we are talking.

Before & After :)

 

I also wanted to share a few pictures of some of my new friends!!! :)

Actually, they are friends with both Erica and myself....

This is one of our suitemates, Makayla.

We helped her celebrate her birthday with a Dora

the explorer cake!!!! <3

&&&&

This is Hilary, she is totally awesome and super nice.

Erica and I are having tons of fun making new friends and I hope to add more pictures of all the friends I make while at SBU.

We both have lots of homework, but thanks to IB, we are so prepared for the work load :)

I guess that program was good for something after all! ;)

As well as Wal-Mart runs, studying, making new friends, and redecorating our dorm; Erica and I have found time to stay in for the night and have dinner together for a cute little "roomie date."

:)

&&&& I know that the next few days are going to be just as much fun!!!

Optimistically, Bethany Lea <3 

Secret Notes.

Okie Dokie, I am so happy right now!!!!

My friend Andrea is absolutely amazing.

 I mentioned yesterday that she had left cute little notes in my closet, but I had only found a few....

 As of right now, I have found 5. :) 

She is so creative!!!! I found one under my pillow (with some hidden candy), one in my favorite pair of shoes, one in my purse, and when I put my jeans on this morning, I found one in there also :)

Oops...I also found one in a book <3

Her notes immediately made me feel better :)

 She knows me so well.

I am so thankful that God gave me such great friends! I know adjusting to college is going to be a challenge, but with God and great friends to support me, I know that I can do it :)

Tomorrow is the first official day of college, and I am so excited to start my classes!!!

Optimistically, Bethany Lea <3

P.S. Thanks for reading my blog........ you're awesome.

College Adventures :)

So, I skipped blogging yesterday because I had so many activities to go to, that I just didn't find the time.

Well, I am blogging tonight and wanted to share some pictures of our dorm room with you. <3

These pictures should show you a little bit about each of our personalities....we like to be creative and have fun; but at the same time, we try to stay organized. :)

Another thing that I loved about my dorm was that one of my really good friends, Andrea, left me cute little notes for me to find....As of right now I have only found a few,

but I am sure there are plenty more to find ;)

Welcome week has been a great experience and I know that this is just the beginning of a great year at SBU!

Optimistically, Bethany Lea

P.S. Many more posts to come, I promise! :)

College Life!

So..... I have not blogged since I was in high school, and continued to procrastinate blogging during the summer.

 However, since today was a very, very special day for me and my dearest friend, Erica...I decided to start blogging again! :)

I just mentioned that today was a very, very special day.....well, at about 9:30 this morning, Erica and I moved in at SBU and are now living in our dorm at Leslie Hall!!!!!

If you couldn't tell, we are so excited!!!!!!!!

At first we were a bit scared and discouraged about being away from home and leaving some of our friends, but as the day went on we began to realize that this is a new chapter in our lives and that we have to face new challenges in order to be ready for what God has in store for our futures.

Overall, today was amazing and we can't wait to get on with the rest of the weekend and start classes on Monday. :)

  Always, Bethany Lea
