I'm goin' places!


So as you may or may not know I'm going to Tulane in the fall! I'm super psyched(: It's down in New Orleans (I may refer to it as NOLA; because that stands for New Orleans, LA; get it? (:



Anyways I went to orientation this past week and it was really fun. I actually went down by myself (via airplane); and it was my first time doing so. But I almost liked it, managing my own time and everything. I may or may not have almost missed my airport shuttle #oops. Luckily my mom texted me asking if I was getting on the shuttle, haha that definitely set me into a sprint to the shuttle stop.





On the way there though the security took my oatmeal! So I had to grab a quick starbucks coffee and oatmeal. And luckily I had some of Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut butter to go(: You should try this new combo I came up with though for the starbucks. I got a latte with one pump of hazelnut and one pump of white chocolate; yumm!



Second day of Orientation (shirt ae)



About to get on the plane; I may have changed into my comfy pajama pants hehe(:




On the way there on one of my planes (I had a layover) We got TVs on the back of our seats! I've never had that before (then again I've never traveled with Delta) but it was nice. Too bad the other three flights were lacking the option of watching the Big Bang Theory (love that show!)



So in other good news I found a roommate, found my housing situation (I applied to this nicer housing so I don't have to share a bathroom with the whole floor! We have a suite that we get to share with two others) and.... I got into this program called the NOLA experience. The "track" they put me in is called Take a Bite (imagine that ;) and we get to tour the city's restaurants, learn about the history of New Orlean's food and drink and take cooking classes! (talk about a perfect match for me)



So woah; this whole college thing is quickly approaching but I'm ready to leave the house. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, but we are getting to the point where I need to leave haha. 

So here's some other things I found that I liked; check out that video; cracks me up every time!

    1. In the downtown area it's crazy haha; lots of partying and drinking after 5, but thats just in the "french quarter" which is one part of downtown. Other than that theres lots of shopping, restaurants and where Tulane is at is more of an Uptown area where the people with the money live (crazy huge mansions!) but it's a quirky town which you should definitely come visit; Come for crawfest or jazz fest or something(:
