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

My Secret Obsession :)

So...I love Love LOVE music! :)

Any type of music really.....

Country.....

Classical.....

Modern.....

Christian.....

Rock.....

&&&&

Reggae????

YUP! Reggae!

I recently just checked out a reggae cd at the library and am officially addicted!

It is amazing! It has all my favorite Disney songs in a fun & creative way!

I could listen to this type of music everyday. Yes, I understand that this type of music isn't appealing to everyone, but I definitely think you should give it a try!

I'm a.....GRADUATE????

This year has been pretty fanastic, but it seemed to all go by really fast. I still can't believe that I just graduated from high school!

Signing yearbooks at the Senior Breakfast :)

I'm ready to start a new chapter in my life. Graduating high school is just the beginning :)

Senior Year.

I know! I know! I haven't blogged in forever.

Senior year has gone by so fast. There are so many tests to study for, too much busy work, and not enough time to just sit back and enjoy the last few weeks of school with your friends.

Time is flying by and I still can't believe that I only have a week left of school! I am so thankful for all of my friends and I know I could not have made it this far without each and every one of you. <3

TOK :)

One thing I love about school is the class Theory Of Knowledge....a.k.a.

TOK :)

It is the best class ever & I have it with some of the best people in the world!!!!
