Weekend Re-cap!

This weekend has probably been one of the busiest weekends I have had on campus. I don't know if it is because of the new semester, I'm more comfortable on campus, or if it is because I'm hearing more of what's going on, but it has been none stop! I LOVE it! Let me tell ya how it went!

For starters, my roommate, Kelsey, and I are loyal Starbucks customers. Probably a little too loyal, but hey why not? We went into our campus Starbucks and saw a sign on the wall that said "TAKE THE STARBUCKS CHALLENGE." Seeing the word challenge, I was like how many drinks do I have to buy? The answer: JUST ONE! What? Right. All we had to do was take a selfie with our drinks and hashtag #cupsupunccharlotte on Twitter. How easy. We went in for our second visit of the week and what do you know, we made it on the wall! We thought we were something else.

Tehehe...Starbucks Famous

Then, we got word of a home basketball game that was happening Saturday night. Kelsey, our new roommate Charlotte, and I got tickets and were able to go. It was so fun. I have never been to a college basketball game before, so it was an experience. It was UNC-Charlotte vs. North Texas. We were up at halftime, 40-37, but after the buzzer rang for the second half, I thought it was all downhill. We were almost instantly down by 10. All I could think was DANG.We completely pulled through, literally to the finish. The score was 74-74 and I was just excited that we were going to tie. OH NO, we got the ball, ran the clock down to the actual last second, shot, and scored a two pointer! We won 76-74 and it was amazing!

We won! Victory confetti and Charlotte flags!

To pull the weekend to a close, Kelsey and I attended Elevation Church. The Panther's wide receiver Steve Smith spoke alongside Pastor Steven Furtick. He spoke about passion and how passionate people act in their lives, relating back to his life, fame, and career in football. It was awesome! Pastor Steven broke the ice with some entertaining interview questions and lightened the mood in the whole place. Steve Smith is so shy in person, it was unexpected!

Of course a before church selfie!

After church lunch at Panera, yum! Necessary food pic.



It turned out that Bridesmaids and The Help are both on T.V. tonight and I am loving every minute of it. This weekend has been one for the books and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day will be one for the schoolbooks (corny pun ends here). I hope everyone else had a great weekend, too!
