College Life && Summer

Today I'm home sick yet again, my breathing has gotten better since last night, which is a miracle. Last night I went to the ER and had to get chest x-rays and more breathing treatments, because the Prednisone shot, and all of my other steroids, weren't opening my lungs enough to breathe. They diagnosed me with Costochondritis & Tietze Syndrome (they are the same thing with different names ;)). From coughing so much the cartilage near my sternum is stretched and separating from my sternum causing the pain. 


While in my boredom, and midst of being home alone, starving- I have been shopping online; it's a horrible habit that I need to break before going off to college! I bought my swimsuit for this summer from Victoria's Secret! It's super cute; This is the link to see the picture of it. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265437696955&c=Page&cid=1300105508571&pagename=vsdWrapper . I am obsessed with zebra print, and this fits my personality! We're going to a condo in Destin, Florida at the end of the summer, and I definitely needed  a new suit that makes me look good, since my body is changing and becoming more like a woman's ;), instead of a girls! Working out 3 to 4 hours a day is the best way for me to stay skinny, and in shape during this change. 
I have also managed to checkout multiple dorm accessories that I need to get before college. This last month of school is coming to an end extremely fast!!! My graduation is in 31 days and the party is in 30, don't worry those reading this should be getting an announcement very, very soon!!


I can't wait until this summer, I start off by hopefully going to California or Miami, if my dad will be amazing and nice enough to let my mom and I go on a last mother, daughter trip!!! I've decided not to play competitive softball this summer due to the busy schedule of both work, and of college preparation, I will be at the KU campus multiple times during the summer for orientation, and more visits to mentally prepare myself from moving away from my family! I will still be working at the baseball diamonds to save money for rushing and hopefully getting into a sorority! :)


If anyone has any advice on college and rushing feel free to email me :)


Over the summer I plan on hanging out with my family a lot! Especially Coleman, him and I have become so close within the last few months, and my heart is beginning to ache in knowing that I won't see him everyday, though I plan on coming back to watch him beast it up in middle school sports; so hard to believe that he is starting middle school in the fall, life goes by in the blink of an eye. I am not coming home though for the first 3 weeks, by doing this I hope to prevent becoming homesick and wanting to come back as soon as I get to KU. Though KU is only 20 minutes away from my house, it's a big deal to me because Iv always been so close to my family. Ever since I was little my whole family has been extremely close, and we do everything with each other, and just knowing that I'll miss some of these family events makes me sad, but everything does happen for a reason and this is a new chapter in not only my life but my entire families.


My grams has already said he will come visit me a few times a week at KU once I get all settled in, which will definitely be nice since I will get very tired of dorm and cafeteria food very quickly ;) even though we eat out almost every night, I'll still miss the fact that eating in a dorm doesn't include my family. If you can't tell by now, my family means the world to me, and I would drop anything for them.


Back to summer, between work and swimming (of course tanning) I will be hanging out with all of my friends before they leave for colleges. Many of my friends are staying in Topeka to go to Washburn, but some are traveling hours away, both for academics and the opportunity to continue playing sports. I will miss playing softball, but I plan on helping coach my 12 year old cousins softball team, because I love the game, and I love how good of a player she is! Keep up the good work Rhi!


I need to save all of the money I can before college, so I don't become one of "those" students that constantly has to ask their parents for money!
