Shopping, shopping, shopping!

Hi guys! So today was a fantasic day :) I had no classes, and I didn't have to work! I slept in until about 11, when I had breakfast and did some of my homework. And then early afternoon, Ella and I left to go shopping! We needed comforters, pillows, and a few other random things. We went to Target, Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and a lot of clothing stores such as Forever 21 and American Eagle! We had so much fun! I bought my bedspread at Bed, Bath, and Beyond plus some pillows to match! The bedspread is green with blue and white pillows, and Ella got a blue bedspread with green and white pillows! Our room is really coming together now :) At Target I got some make-up organizers and one mini organizer shelf for random things in my room. I also bought some hangers, because I ran out! Not sure exactly what Ella got, check her blog for that. And then we went clothing shopping! I got a bunch of more fall-centered clothing, such as some capris, jeans, and sweaters! I also got a few summer dresses for the next month or so and some graphic tees! I got a pair of cute hoop earrings plus a necklace and a set of 3 bracelets. I'm really happy with all my purchases, and hope to shop more! :)

First Day of Classes!

Hi guys! So the last time you heard from me was earlier today, in my first class, which was super boring! We also got loads of homework, going to take up a lot of my day tomorrow :( My next class was much better, it was Algebra 4, which I'm actually good at! My classes were over by 6, and then I has time to grab some dinner on the go because I had to work at 6:30! I'm actually still working now, but I'm on my break :) I have to work until 12:30! Hollister closes at midnight, but I am scheduled to clean things up and close up. It's just once a month though, mostly it is just until 12:00midnight! All employees take turns with it. So today wasn't the most exciting day for me, just orientation, 2 classes, and 6 hours of work! I'm hoping not all my days are going to be as packed as this, because I'm already stressed out by my homework level and work is pretty tough, customers are so rude and demanding! It's probably just I'm not used to working in a busy, public place a lot, because Hollister is PACKED right now the lines are really long, so I'm glad I even got a break!

News

Hi guys!! So I do have terrible news, Adri passed away yesterday on the plane to LA with my mom. It is awful, she wasn't even 3 weeks old! My mom is really depressed, that's what I heard, and that kinda scares me because I don't want things to be how they were back when she lost her 6 babies. Anyway, today has been so boring! Last night I read through the general information packet, which included mostly information that was told at the orientation this morning, so I already knew it all! Also, I read the overviews of all my classes, which has actually helped so far. I am in a class right now, but its SO boring, thats why I'm on my phone LOL. But whatever, its just a lecture and the boy next to me said he'd give me my notes that I missed, I think he likes me ;) Okay goodbye for now, I'll talk to you after my classes! :)

First Day in NYC!

Hi! So, today was a great day :) You guys heard about the morning, but I still have a lot to tell you! So around 2:00pm Adri was getting much worse (she's sick) and mom decided to catch a flight and take her home right away! She called Dad and he called the doctor and the doctor thinks Adri has a rare disease, which is pretty scary. I really hope she'll be okay! Mom's plane landed almost an hour ago, if everything went well, and I haven't heard from her since she left. Back to my afternoon! When they left, we went grocery shopping with Ella, Victoria and Ava, and got tons of food! We really have our essentials ;) When we got home we just unpacked all of that and I was still working on unpacking all of my things! Ella was pretty much done, I think. For dinner, we went to Boom Burger, a local restaurant! They have one back in LA, and we all love it so much! After dinner, Victoria and Ava went back to their hotel room and Ella and I just hung out in our bedroom, I was reading the new students packet for our orientation tomorrow, and reading information about my classes tomorrow. Not sure what Ella was up to! Well, I'll definitely keep you updated on college life! Bye for now! :)

New Roommates!

Hi guys! So, I forgot to mention, earlier today we met our roommates! First, there is Brittany. She is from NYC, she only lived about 15 miles away from the college! I don't want to be mean, but she isn't the nicest girl. She is really really rich, and has so much stuff! Her part of the room is super cluttered, she is used to having a walk-in closet and 2 dressers! Her bedroom back home was about the size of our whole apartment. But the upside is she has a lot of money and already went grocery shopping and bought tons of good, expensive, food! I feel bad for the other roommate, Drew, who shares a room with her! Drew is super sweet, she's really quiet though! This is her second year here, so she already has LOTS of friends and about 5 of them were here this morning! She moved in a a week ago, so she's already all settled! So that's our roommate situation :) one good one bad! My stuff got here after lunch, which was great! Ella was helping me unpack all of my stuff, and I'm almost done. Soon, we are all going grocery shopping for food! That is, if there is enough room in the fridge for our things ;)

Finally in NYC!

Hi guys!! I am finally in NYC! I'm so excited, it's just so crazy! We arrived in NYC at 11pm, but didn't get to our hotel until abou 1! I was really tired, what from being on a plane and all, so we crashed as soon as we arrived! I slept till 11 this morning and then my mom and I went to brunch together! My mom decided she will go home with Victoria and Ava tomorrow instead of Tuesday, because Adri has a light fever and she wants to take her to the doctor again before they all leave for the lake house Wednesday! I'm really sad that I'm going to miss it, but I am definitely going to love college life :) THis afternoon, I plan on going grocery shopping, not sure who all is coming along though! I was hoping on going out to dinner tonight with everyone, just as a last thing to do together. And then this evening I'll probably just work on unpacking and decorating and such. :)

My Week Schedule!

As you know, currently I am on a plane and destined to arrive in NYC in approximately half an hour! Some of you have been asking for my week's schedule, if I'm doing anything but work and class :) The answer is yes! But first, I have some news. I told you guys before that I work at Hollister 6-11 on Monday at 2-7 Wednesday. This morning, right on our way out of the door to the airport, I got a call wondering I would be okay taking on more hours! I gladly agreed, because I definitely need the money. I now work 6pm-12midnight Monday, 2pm-8pm Wednesday, and 11:30am-3:30pm Thursday! It was quite a surprise to me because I am new, but one girl quit so they are short on workers! I'm so excited :) So back to my week! Monday morning from 8-10 I have orientation, and then I'm going out to lunch with my mom and Adri for some quality time since I won't see her for a long time! Monday afternoon I will say goodbye to Victoria and Ava before my 2 afternoon classes, from 12-3 and 3-6! Monday evening I will just be hanging around the dorm with Ella, most likely decoration or unpacking! Tuesday  my mom leaves in the morning, and then I have the afternoon free! Hopefully Ella and I can go shopping for more decorations :) And of course I will need to do homework and prepare for my classes. Tuesday night I'm going to a mixer for our dorm floor, I'm not sure if Ella is going to that! Wednesday I have a jam-packed day! 7-10 I have a class, and 10-1 I have another class, and I have just enough time to eat lunch before I work 2-8! Thursday I have a class from 8-11, and then I work 11:30-3:30! Friday is free, but I will most likely be doing homework during the day and then go out for the night :) My schedule is okay, but I'm kinda sad that I have morning classes a lot :( I hate waking up early!

A Quick Update!

Hi guys!! So right now we have just boarded our second plane, we are in Kansas right now! We boarded first, at 7:20, because families with little kids/babies get to board first so they can get situated and it just takes them longer! Back to this morning! Our ride to the airport went smoothly, no traffic whatsoever, which was really good! We arrived with time to get through security and had half an hour of down time before boarding the plane at 3! It was a 3 hour plane ride, I just watched a movie with Ella while Adri slept on my lap! Our dinner was chicken and rice, which was actually quite yummy! :) We had to go through security again in the Kansas airport before boarding our flight. This flight I'm planning on just watching another movie, since it, again, is only 3 hours! But by the time we get off the plane, find our baggage and all, and get to our hotel, it will be past midnight! I can't wait until tomorrow, when Ella and I move into our dorm :)

My Dating Life!

I've gotten some requests to talk about me and my dating life/past/current boyfriends! I'm going to start right at the beginning, when I was 12. At 12, I had a really big crush on this guy, Kevin. When I was 13, still liked him, he asked me out! I was in 8th grade, almost 14 years old! We went out for 5 months, we were in love, but then he lost interest and cheated on me! It was really tough, experiencing my first heartbreak, but I got over him :) When I was 14 I went on a a few dates with Brad, but that's all it was, just a few dates! But then when I was 15, I met Jake. It was love at first sight, for me at least! I liked him for a few months until my friend told him I liked him and he liked me back! We went out a few times, and then he asked me to be his girlfriend! We dated all through high school, and are actually still going out! I love him so much, but he is going to college back in LA, which is hard. Long-distance relationships are never easy, but we are definitely going to make it work! I'll keep you updated on how it turns out! I am actually going to his house tomorrow before I leave to say goodbye <3

Last Day in LA!

Hey everyone! So today, Friday, is my last day in LA! It is bittersweet :) I spent the day today saying goodbye to my friends and family! I got up early (8am) and drove to all of my friends houses to say goodbye, which was really sad! I'm sure the people will be what I miss post about LA. I had lunch with my best friend Isabel, I will miss her and our chats so much! But I will definitely make lots of new friends, and I of course have Ella :) This afternoon I drove an hour to see my aunt Lindsey, who has 2 girls, 15 year old Kayla and 12 year old Christy! They are super sweet and always fun to talk to :) When I got back home, I did some more packing up, just random things I forgot! The moving truck with most of my stuff left yesterday, and won't get to NYC until Monday morning, so I of course have some things coming with me! Just a suitcase of clothing/makeup, and another suitcase filled with random things that I might need/electronic things. This is going to be a really big adventure and I know many adjustments are to come, but I am really happy about it all and I feel that this is the best choice for me, as a person! :)

Decorations and Dorm Theme!

Hey everyone! So, Ella and I have gone shopping many, many times, but we aren't even close to finding everything we need for our dorm! We decided our dorm theme to be pink and blue, since I love pink and Ella loves blue! Thankfully, they look good together :) So far I have been to Target many of times, and Bed Bath and Beyond! At Bed, Bath, and Beyond I have found a nightstand, since our dorm only supplies the bed, with a closet for each of us and one dresser! At Target, I got much more things! It's so different than school shopping for high school. Of course I have to yet the usual binders, notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers  but also organizers, wall hangings, and pots and pans! I finished up buying the regular school supplies with my mom earlier this week, and then went with Ella to get things for our room! I found some wall stickers for above my bed, and wall hangings for around my side of the room! I also got organizers for my makeup, and 2 standup organizers for random things that will go at the bottom of my bed! I am still looking for a comforter  and a rug for beside my bed, since our room is hardwood! It is so exciting to finally be going of to college and live on my own, but I know it will be really hard at first, but worth it :)

My Jobs! Plus my College Schedule

Hey everyone! :) So right now in LA this summer I work 5 full days a week at CVS pharmacy, and every other Saturday and Sunday at our grocery store! It seems like a lot of work, 9-3 every day and then some weekends, but it is definitely worth it! One of the most important things I've learned in life is that work pays off. I'm going to be living on my own soon, and I will need money for everyday things like groceries! I'm definitely not used to that, because my mom buys the grocery for the family. She even buys most of my clothes, and I will have to do that! And also I will need to pay my share for renting our dorm, and bills such as that. And then of course my college tuition, which I need to pay half of. It's a lot of money, and I'm not used to all this, but it's just a part of growing up! This summer is actually the first "real" job I've had, I've babysat every since I was in 8th grade but never actually at a store. Tomorrow is my last day at CVS, and last weekend was my last weekend at our local grocery store. But the good news is I actually already found, applied, and was accepted to a job in NYC! I will be working at Hollister part-time, working around my college schedule. I have 5 classes, and each class is 3 hours. On Monday I have 2 classes back-to-back in the afternoon, and then I work 6-11 Monday night. Tuesday I don't have any classes, and I don't work! Wednesday I have another 2 classes, morning this time, and I work 2-7. Thursday I have one morning class, and Friday I'm free! So it's not a lot of working, but that's why I have been saving up all summer and all senior year, because I knew I'd be really busy in college and short on money! Stay tuned to hear about our theme for our bedroom, decorations, and my roommates!

Welcome!! :)

Hey everyone! :) I'm Brielle Davis, and I'm 18 years old! I live in a family of 6 kids, my 13 year old brother Blake, 9 year old brother Ryan, 4 year old brother Colton, 2 year old brother Tristan, and my baby sister Adri who is a few weeks old! My mom is Brooklyn, and my dad is David. Currently, we live in LA, but I'm moving to NYC Saturday to start college! I am so super excited, I will be rooming with my best friend Ella and 2 other roommates we won't know until we get there! Our room has 2 bedrooms, and each bedroom has 2 beds. We also have a living room, a kitchen, and a small dining room! I am majoring in business, as I hope to start my own business one day, and I'm minoring in Literature to further my reading and writing skills! I hope you enjoy reading my blog to learn about college life! Stay tuned for posts about moving in, adjusting, shopping, and decorating! :)
