This last few weeks have been a whirlwind. I’ll try to compress it into 250 words–get yer mouse ready:

My institution welcomed the student body back to campus. I forgot how exciting campus is when students are back.

Here’s my boss’, boss’, boss snapchatting back stage while I am presenting on stage. #screenshotted

I survived Orientation. Barely.

In the midst of the craziness that was Orientation, I was on the phone with a car dealer and the bank to buy a car. Newsflash: If you buy in car in Texas instead of Northern Virginia, you save about $10,000. Yep.

I bought a car. Good bye, Bertha.

Momma Higg and my Aunt Susie drove from Texas to bring me the car.

I placed the two most important stickers anyone can put on their vehicle.

I need to name my car. Help? Suggestions are appreciated.

We explored Fredericksburg for a few days.

I love Momma Higg so much.

GAMEDAY WAS ON SATURDAY AND I COULDN’T BREATHE I WAS SO EXCITED.

I spent the day in DC and then in Woodbridge where two and a half of my favorite Aggies live–Lori, Eric, and 3-year-old Erika.

One of my favorite traditions at Texas A&M? You kiss your date after every score. Newsflash: I didn’t have a date. Lori helped me with text messages.

And Erika fist-bumped me every score.

Then Erika and I took a few selfies.

“Smile!”

“Gig ’em Aggies!”

“Be Miley Cyrus!”

Then we watched the Hokies put a good effort into beating Bama.

Overall, it was a successful week and I can smell fall already.
