Time To Step It Up…
Posted by: erininc21 on: September 11, 2009
Apparently I missed the “I’m a senior so I have to act fake and bourgeois” memo… I clearly have to step it up!
Anywho, on the two days I went to class this week it was cold and raining so I didn’t care what I had on, how my hair looked, and I also didn’t really want to go to class in the first place in the rain… Hopefully next week will actually feel like a normal week of school because I still don’t feel like I’m back and I’m definitely not adjusted since I’ve only been here one week and one day… Thankfully I have no classes today… Just a meeting at 3pm (who schedules meetings in the afternoon on Friday? IDK) but besides that I’m happy that it is the weekend!
SENIOR YEAR!!
Posted by: erininc21 on: September 7, 2009
“Hello! My name is Erin ******** ***** and I am GRADUATING SENIOR, Broadcast Journalism major and English minor from Richmond, Virginia!”
Well, my senior year at the Real HU officially begins tomorrow and I am excited! My two friends and I just moved into our brand new apartment Thursday, and finally my room is decorated and we have food in the fridge! Today is Labor Day so thankfully we have one more day to relax before our classes begin! Now that I’m back at school I will definitely have more time to update this more… 1st step to take after I go to all of my classes tomorrow is to go on a part-time job search! I definitely need some extra spending money in my pocket so hopefully I find a nice little gig that will work with my schedule…
S/N: I miss my boo! Trey Songz (My other boo)’s album just came out last Monday and he has a song on there that makes me think of my boyfriend…
Listen to it here:
Back to ME…

WOW! It has truly been too long and I have definitely learned some new things about myself over this summer and I have lost some things that I used to do regularly and loved… Well now it is definitely time to get back to what I have always enjoyed! I love reading, listening to music, watching music videos, relaxing, shopping, spending time with the important people in my life, eating healthy, exercising… I seem like I seldom do those things anymore and it’s time to regain those past loves… I will begin to be on here more regularly as well to regain my lost sanity… 
realistic expectations vs. high expectations
Posted by: erininc21 on: June 4, 2009
Hello out there! I know I’ve been M.I.A. since I’ve been out of school, but I took a much needed break and have been getting used to being in this new area that I’m in. My internship (just finished my second week) has been great already! I’ve been having a good time for the most part up here, but my relationship with my s/o has been deteriorating right underneath the both of us, these past two weeks since I’ve been up here and early this morning (it’s our six month anniversary BTW) we have been on the verge of parting ways… I don’t know why/how things changed all of a sudden, but tonight I’m going to find out… He claims that my expectations are too high, but in reality they are realistic. From being in school, he and I had talked on the phone for months each day, for hours at a time… Now, since I’ve been up here, we barely talk on the phone for 5 minutes… We’re about 40 minutes away from each other still, so ever since I started my internship I haven’t been able to see him every single day, which is fine because we were long distance anyway, but now he’s that “he no longer wants to talk on the phone as much” all of a sudden…. I really need a guys opinion on what is going on… Am I being played? How could we go from talking on the phone all the time, to everything change all of a sudden? I tend to not write about my personal relationship in such detail, but I needed to vent and this is the perfect outlet… Please comment to let me know what is going on and what can be done… It could go either way right now… I want to make it work and he claims he does, but his actions are totally different than his words…
mission accomplished…
Posted by: erininc21 on: May 3, 2009
WELL…Today is the day I go home for summer break! This year went by SOOOOO quickly, but slow at the same time! I made it through, despite all of the stress, trials and tribulations, I made it through! I got everything I wanted to get done, done…I found an internship! I did all of my work in my classes and went to every class (for the most part)! I focused on school and still was able to spend time with my family, friends, and my boo…I did it! In the beginning of the year, I was so worried that what I have accomplished today, would not come to fruition, nevertheless, I did all that I was supposed to do, and everything worked out for the best! Junior year is HARD! People weren’t lying when they said that it is the most stressful year, and this second semester was stressful…The most work and papers ever…But in the end, I liked how all of my teachers helped me out by making the work-load less and less overloaded, so that I am able to go home today…I don’t have any real finals and I turned in my final project for my Journalism class early… I am happy to say that my mission was accomplished for this year!!! 
Now, ON TO SENIOR YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For something extra, here is Trey Songz new video for his song, “I Need A Girl” which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Too bad his album drops all the way in August, on the 4th…
too close to “home”…

This morning I was awakened by a phone call from my father an hour and fifteen minutes away in Richmond, asking me did I know that the campus that I live and go to school on, was on lockdown because there was a shooting that occurred over night less than 5 minutes away from where I was sleeping…Of course, I had no idea…I received no text message, no phone call, nothing at all from the so-called Hampton University Emergency Alert System (that they have been “testing” out all year, but clearly I now know that when something REAL goes down, it won’t come through)…My friends that even live in the dorm directly across the street from where the shooting occurred didn’t even know about it! This is ridiculous to me…What if there was more than one person that was shooting and they went on a spree and we all had to evacuate? Nobody would have known and our parents would have found out the next day, not by the school, but from the news or from friends that heard about it that live in the area…Hampton University really needs to get it together…I know we’re a private institution and administration has a “reputation” to protect, but clearly they need to get their priorities straight…The students and our safety should be number one…Especially when they go so hard on students and people that drive on campus ALL DAY LONG with no bad intentions, but clearly it isn’t safe enough because somebody easily got through, walked into a dorm after hours, and shot and injured three people…My father shouldn’t have had to call and tell me what happened either, I should have been informed immediately about what was going on…UGH! it is definitely time to GO HOME!
you choose…

I don’t know what to do right now… I have to make a decision but it’s difficult to make… FML 
almost over…
Posted by: erininc21 on: April 19, 2009
I am so excited and happy that this semester is almost over. This has to be the most stressful semester that I’ve ever had to deal with ever since I started school way back in Kindergarten. I heard Junior year was the most trying year in college but I didn’t believe it would be this difficult. I am so happy that I only have a few days left and that I am basically done with all of my papers that I have due, and I am prepared for my two presentations this week. I cannot wait for the summer to begin and for my internship in DC to start so that I will be able to be closer to my family and my boo doing what I enjoy. I am ready for everything that the Lord has in store for me this summer and I hope and pray that everything will go well!!
“every girl” video…
Posted by: erininc21 on: April 19, 2009
I know this song is months old now, but Lil Wayne and Young Money Ent. has finally come out with a video for their underground hit, “Every Girl”…This song is so hilarious to me…I was waiting on the video for a minute and I just saw it for the first time last night…
Here is the video… (NSFW)… It features: Lil Wayne, Drake, Jae Millz, Mac Mayne…
