Spring is in the air:)
So I joined this organization this year called SCSL (South Carolina Student Legislature). Essentially it is a bunch of students from different colleges getting together and write bills, amendments, and resolutions to better the state of South Carolina. As a body we pass and fail these articles. Those that get passed get put into a book that we present to the real South Carolina legislation in the Fall for review. There is a Fall and Spring session every year and I attended the Spring session about a week ago. I was really nervous because I was presenting my first bill which was on the controversial issue of allowing pedophiles to use the mistake of age as their defense when being prosecuted. Well after much arguing and debate it passed with more than 2/3 vote! I was so excited. I made so many new friends from all of these other colleges including Clemson, USC, College of Charleston, Bob Jones University, and the Citadel to name a few. I was one of the best weeks ever. The Spring conference is always held at Myrtle Beach so it was definitely business by day party by night and sleep at lunch, lol. I look forward to session in the Fall which is held at the State House in Columbia South Carolina.

More events…
This past weekend I went over to Wofford college for their Spring weekend with a group of friends and had a great time. We listened to a great band and hung out with friends at the various fraternity houses. It was a blast! I even took my chess partner Lawrence with me because I refused to let him graduate with a masters degree from Converse and never have gone to a college party in his life.
Fun with the ladies!
Lawrence and the ladies!
Friends from the Wofford basketball team!
The reunion is finally here!!! I’m so excited about meeting all the alumnae that I have talked to over the phone this past semester. With all the events I will have plenty of chances to take pictures this weekend. So be ready for those photos.
This week is also Conniestock (a Spring celebration consisting of guys, bands, dances, and more fun) !!!!!! Corey Smith is coming to Converse to perform live in our quad. That’ll be exciting, especially because I’m on the event staff!!
Also because it is the end of the year Crescent, the sophomore service organization I am president of, has reached its expiration. I’m so excited about becoming a junior but am partially sad I must leave this wonderful organization behind. I went from not knowing half the girls to forming life long friendships and I am so grateful. I definitely almost started to cry when I was passing over our talking stick to the new president. Here are a few pictures of the a few of the cherished moments of Crescent 2007-2008.
