Kill Jill’s Resolutions For 2010

5 Reasons Why Going Back To School Sucks

Things Kill Jill Has To Buy For School (Version III)
Back to City X: 15 days School is coming up and soon! I have nine shifts left at the store then I’m back on campus on September 5th. To say “I’m a little excited.” is a tiny understatement. Jenn and I are practically counting ...

Things Kill Jill Has To Buy For School (Version I)
Back to City X: 37 days This time around, at least I have most of my stuff. And I know not to buy any groceries until I actually get to City X. Because there’s no room in the car otherwise. But here’s some things I really do have to pick ...
Vacational.
I took a 3-day trip to City X with Jenn, got back yesterday. It’s a very touristy town so there were lots of things for us to check out. (And by “things”, I mean “pubs” and by “check out”, I mean “drink...
And the roomate is… (Version II)
I’ve been assigned to Roomie’s old room (which is a bit bigger) and I’ve decided to take it. Although, I think it’ll be weird staying in her old room… Weird… Also, Canning will be living next door so there will onl...

Eight Things I Miss About College
♫ No Doubt - Stand and Deliver My dorm roommate. She’s not going to be living on campus next year but she plans to live close by. Good. ‘Cause I have a feeling my new roommate isn’t going to just make me chocolate chip brownies w...
Dead Girl Walking!
Well, I am seriously the most random person ever. But I’m OK with that. I’ve always wanted to take part in a zombie walk (or “zombie flash mob”, if you prefer). City X had one two years ago with about 20 participants. They hel...
High Speed Internet Is The Devil
As many of you know, I’m currently spending my summer in Nowhereville. We just got high-speed two days ago and, since that fateful day, I’ve gotten absolutely f***ing nothing done. Nothing. Before two days ago, we had satellite Internet. ...
Summer Goals: Revisited
On May 2nd, I made a post titled Summer Goals, Yo. and listed all the things I plan to do this summer. May went by pretty quickly and we’re almost halfway through June (Sheesh, y’all!) so I thought I would revamp my goals list. I will: W...
Oh wow.
As some of you may know, I’m back working at the same convenience store in my home town (make that home community) as I did last summer. Last night, a customer came in right at closing and stayed and talked for 20 minutes. Here’s a conver...
10 Things I Hate About Facebook
OK, I admit. Some of these things aren’t exactly Facebook’s fault, but more the fault of some of the Facebook-using folk. Here, I’ll explain. I hate when people list “tanning” in their profile under “InterestsR...
A Year in Review: 2008-2009
I can’t believe I’m already done my first year at College X. It seems almost strange. It just went so fast. As a year-end wrap-up, I thought I’d discuss several areas of my life that were affected this year (because I know all of ...

10 Tips For Moving OUT of the Dorm

Internship Diary: Day XVII
(I have been seriously neglecting this blog since I started college but I’ve been ten times worse since I started college. I’m not very good at juggling and I’m afraid this blog felt the brunt of that. So, for that, I apologize. But...
Internship Diary: Day IV
This town stinks. I’m cranky. My day was pretty crummy. Things were going OK. A photo I took was on the front page of the newspaper the other day and then a story I did yesterday was the top story this morning. Good times all ’round. But ...
Internship Diary: Day II
I didn’t sleep much on Sunday night so yesterday is kind of a blur, particularly the evening. First I was in the newsroom, then I was sent on assignment, then I was interviewing some people, then I walked back to the newsroom in fancy shoes. Bi...
Internship Diary: Prologue
Well, all my stuff is unpacked, finally. I feel like the last two days have been nothing but packing my life into boxes and then unpacking those boxes and putting my life into other, slightly smaller boxes. I just want to take a nap. That’s all...
City X, I shall miss thee.
First, I need everyone to click on this link and, on the page that comes up, click on the image that says “2009 Edu Blogger Scholarship Contest”. That’s all you have to do! It’s so simple, even a complete moron could do it! Cu...
15 Things To Do When You’re Alone In A Dorm
It’s Spring Break for me and my fellow students at College X. So, I’ve had the dorm to myself since Roomie left on Friday. It’s been weird, not having her around… or anyone for that matter. The only left in City X is Jaclyn an...
*sigh of relief*
♫ The Jam - That’s Entertainment ♫ Phew! Classes are done and I’m off for a week before I start my 4-week internship at a daily newspaper in the small town I attended high school in. I’m not excited about the internship either. ...
