• Post-Thanksgiving Break

    Hello there, originally this was going to be a blog about my life in reslife which is extremely glamorous but that is not all that is going on in my life….I am a graduate student and to tell the truth that encompasses or dictates my life as a reslife person at least for the next two years. Anyway I haven’t written since who knows when so I thought I catch you, the reader(s) (if I have any lol), up. I just had my thanksgiving break, yes even grad students get to take a break from school. During thanksgiving break we closed my residence hall as well so today residents will…

  • Prince

    As a young girl you hear a ton of stories about princesses and them finding their prince charming. Soon you start wondering what your prince will be like. You imagine everything about him…what he will look like, what kind of things he likes, what his favorite food is.. Basically everything. For some people when they become women they sometimes forget about finding their prince or have been lucky to find them. I am not sure if I met my Prince yet or not but I know for sure that I still dream about him. I dream about what he looks like, how good he can make me feel just by…

  • Hi! My name is Rena Gore!!

    Hi! My name is Rena Gore!!And as the blog would suggest I work in residence life!! For those of you not familiar with res life, as I like to call it, let me explain it to you. Res Life is one of the many departments within the college campus. We, people in res life, work with all the students that choose to live on campus, thus making those students residents. There are many different functions and positions in residence life, depending on what campus, university, and/or college that you work at, ranging from the policy makers, the fundraisers, the programmers, policy enforcers, community builders, and so much more. My specific…

I am starting graduate school and my life as a hall director on a college campus part of my new and most updated dream list.  That was just an update but not the true intention or point for this particular post.

Anyway the day after the hurricane truly hit us I get a text from this cell number that I recognize way…

  • Can’t Sleep

    It’s 12:25 AM in Tennessee and I cannot sleep for some reason. I slept in extremely late today but I am tired I am in my bed and I can’t seem to fall asleep. I am watching Khloe & Lamar on television because yes I must admit that I am totally in love with the Kardashians. OK change of topic…so last night I tried to kind of clean some old baggage. I had this friend that I had a crush on and we were really good friends. We even were good friends after he found out about it, of not better but he graduated a year before me and then…

  • Thinking

    Oh my gosh…I am just thinking about a lot right now. More like going down memory lane and it is a bit saddening. I still can’t get over the fact that my time here is almost over. Not on this Earth at least I hope not but at my undergrad. I started this blog when I started college. I forget what the purpose was for but I remember my desire to start a blog came after watching the movie The Perfect Man with Hilary Duff and she had a blog and I was thinking that is so cool an online diary. It’s kind of weird this type of blog you…

  • In Love But Never Together

    So, I have never ever been in a relationship with another person you know boyfriend & girlfriend. So I always felt that I have never been in love because I used to think in order to be in love with someone they had to like love you back or at the very least you two had to be together in that kind of a way. But recently I have been wondering if I was in love with this friend of mine. We were extremely close. I can kid around him, feel completely comfortable, and can talk to him about everything. Well actually I used to be able to do all…
