Art, Words & American Dreams
Hi! My name’s Ashley, and on this blog I will be posting my art, photographs, stories and poetry. I will also, hopefully, write articles about random topics. I’d appreciate it if you’d tell tell me how I can improve my blog!

Hello, everyone!! I haven’t posted in a while because the pace at school has picked up a lot in the past week or two, but it’s calming down a little now and Thanksgiving break is coming soon, which is awesome!! 🙂
Anyway, I did the AWESOMEST, most EXCITING THING EVER this weekend. I went to a Trump rally!
I’ve always wanted to go to one, but they were always either too far away or they interfered with my school, so even though I’m a super Trumpian supporter, I couldn’t say I’d been to everything. 😉

Well, to be more specific, college is crazy! 😉 Now that I’m about halfway through my first semester, the pressure is building to keep my grades up. I also have an added disadvantage that most freshman do very well without: since I’ve been homeschooled my whole life, I am used to processing information at my own pace and also learning straight out of a textbook and making my own conclusions. The fast pace of the lecture halls is telling a little, but I have hope that that is only a temporary “freshman” setback.
Anyways, life’s been a little crazy for the past two weeks. I got sick at the beginning of this crazy cycle and I missed a few classes, so I spent most of last week trying to catch up. I also have a chemistry exam tomorrow…..keep your fingers crossed for me!!! 🙂
But not for an instant do I regret coming to college or choosing this particular degree. I’m very, very happy in college, I’m learning tons of stuff and I am content knowing that this is what I was meant to do. Do I regret skipping my senior year of high school? No, except for the fact that I never took chemistry. Gosh, that would be useful now!!! 😀 Continue reading “Life is Crazy!!!”
Whew!! Yes, it’s true. My first college exams are over!! 🙂
In case you didn’t know (I don’t remember if I posted this or not) the pre-med course that I’m taking involves a lot of chemistry and biology, both of which are my major courses for this semester. I’m also taking a math class (statistics) and an Honors College intro course called Text and Critics (we read books and papers and critique them).
So I had my first biology exam last Friday and I passed it with an 85%, so I’m pretty happy with it. I also did my first Chem exam yesterday evening at eight in the evening (why the heck do they do exams in the evening when you’re tired?!?!?!) and I got a 76%, which is good considering both the fact that it was my first exam and I’ve never taken chemistry before.
So, yeah!!! 😀 I’m pretty happy with it and I’m looking forward to improving my scores over time. I jumpstarted the first few weeks, but tiredness and college wear-and-tear is finally catching up with me, so I know that if I can push through the next couple of weeks with improvements, then I’m good to go. Wish me luck, y’all!!! 🙂
I cannot promise regular posting, because I don’t know how much homework, if I’m in the mood, etc., but I’ll try.
Plus a few memes for you:
Keep smiling!! 🙂

A dog is there to be loved,
And love you back in return.
A dog is there to cuddle,
And comfort you in times of need.
No matter the color, no matter the breed,
Dogs are the same underneath;
They love you with those big, brown eyes,
No matter the hate, no matter the lies.
Hello, everyone!! I just wanted to share some of these with you…..
This one is me some days…… Continue reading “Memes”
I thought I’d do a fun, somewhat meaningless post because….well….I’m waiting for class to start and I’m a little bored….. 😀
So, my top ten favorite books (in no particular order)!!
And my ton ten favorite movies (again, in no particular order):
And last but not least, my 10 favorite pieces of music (iiiinnnnn no particular order):
So that’s all….I spent 20 minutes writing this, so class is coming up soon. 🙂 Let me know what your top ten favorites are!! 🙂
Keep smiling!!
Ashley
