• About Me

    I'm Amanda, a 21 year old Florida girl. I'm a student at the University of North Florida, where I'm majoring in Journalism. I love music, the beach and driving. My friends are my family, and I love hanging out at the movies, the hookah bar or a rock show. I want to pick up as many useless talents as possible and to travel the world taking pictures and having good times with my best friends. For more information about me, view my About page.

So summer came, and the moment it got here I started sucking at blogging. I must remedy this.
The summer’s been busy. I wish I’d blogged it; I’m really sorry I didn’t, because I’ve had a lot going on, and that’s usually the best time to blog. Didn’t you miss my run-on sentences?
Classes start in three [...]

This is your brain on exams week.

Posted on April 24, 2008 by thatfloridagirl

Finals almost over. Turned in an 8-page essay this morning, can not imagine writing anything else for a few days. Two more exams, both Tuesday, and I’m free for the summer.

Why do weekends have to end?

Posted on April 15, 2008 by thatfloridagirl

Final exams just can’t get here soon enough. I can not wait until May. The last of my exams are May 1, so close and yet so far away. The following week, I’ll be starting a guitar class at the community college here for a few weeks, and the week after that I’ll be going [...]

Just saying hi.

Posted on April 1, 2008 by thatfloridagirl

Kissing summer goodbye already…

Posted on March 12, 2008 by thatfloridagirl

Well, UNF posted the summer course schedule, and I’m sad to say it looks like I’ll be in class all summer long. I’m planning to take three classes so I can do four in fall and four in spring and be done, once and for all. Which is… fantastic, to say the least, given my [...]

Conversations with Dante: On college.

Posted on March 11, 2008 by thatfloridagirl

I’m in class right now, but Dante and I are chatting on Google Docs (as usual), and he summed life up pretty fantastically just now, so I thought I’d share the conversation:
Me: So how are you?
Dante: lol hehehe. I am er bored on a grand scale?
Me: I agree. Class needs to start so I can [...]

How did I get here?

Posted on February 27, 2008 by thatfloridagirl

I have this sinking feeling that one of these days I am going to look back at this stage of my life and shake my head sadly at my collective… stupidity? Obnoxiousness? Incompetence? Oh, who knows.
I know that I have not done nearly as well in university as I did in high school. I am [...]
