A good deed is never lost: he who sows courtesy reaps friendship; and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Stressing!

I'm so stressed right now! I have so much to get done this week and I feel like there's not enough time to get it all done! This weekend I'm going to the Derby (for the first time-I'm so excited!), and I still don't know what dress I'm wearing and I don't have a hat yet! I'm hoping I can still find a really cute hat for a good deal. That's if any stores have any hats left...maybe they'll be on sale by now?!
I also have my graduation on Sunday. Again, I have no clue what I'm going to wear. I want to wear something classic, cute, and comfortable!

I also just moved over the weekend, and I still need to organize my place before my friends and family come into town on Sunday. I have so much stuff I still need to get out of my old place, I feel like I'm going to make a million trips to get all my junk shoes, clothes, pictures, etc. out! And I have to do this before Friday.

On top of all this, I still have two more finals to complete!!! Sadly, I'm more stressed over what I'm going to wear this weekend then taking my finals. I can't help it that I love clothes and want to look cute in all of my pictures!

And this list goes on and on....

I could really use a massage and pedicure right now! I hope everyone is having a great week! And for those of you taking finals-GOOD LUCK!

I would also like to wish my dearest friend, Angela Wilkinson, a very Happy Birthday!!! Love you<333

Love Always,
Alaka

It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction.
-Henry Ward Beecher

The weekend is about to come to an end, and I will soon be a graduate from the University of Kentucky!!! I can't believe how fast my time at college has flown by. I feel like it was just yesterday when I packed up my bags, and my mom and sister moved me into the dorms. It doesn't feel like 4 years ago I went through recruitment and pledged Delta Delta Delta. I remember going to my first class and being terrified when the professor called on me.

These past four years of college have been the greatest and most amazing years of my life! I was blessed to find the most wonderful friends and boyfriend. I know graduating is an exciting time of your life and I'm so happy to be done with school but there's so many things I'm going to miss...

1. Living in the sorority house (even though it sucks to have rules)
2. Living with ALL of my friends and being able to walk down the hall to see them.
3. Being able to participate in Greek Sing (Overall Champs 2 yrs. in a row) or Recruitment
4. Having class for a few hours of the day and then being able to do whatever I want after (nap, lay out, etc.)
5. Date Parties!!!
6. Having my meals cooked for me at the house
7. Spring Break
8. Road Trips
9. Going out on Thursday Nights
10. All of us being in the same town
These are only a few of the things I'll miss!

I know I have a lot to look forward to after graduation! I'm really excited for this next chapter of my life to begin.

I apologize for not having many posts last week! I am just so busy with school and moving into my new apartment!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Love Always,
Alaka
