NBD or anything but I've found where I'm going to college! Yep, that's right, I'm officially Bama bound! I always knew that the University of Alabama was my dream school, but this weekend's visit to Tuscaloosa really sealed the deal.
Now, this wasn't my first visit to T-town but it was the first time I got to spend any significant time there and, as an admitted student already, I stepped foot on the campus and knew I had found my future home.
My mom and I took a fantastic tour that started in the admissions welcome center in Bryant-Denny Stadium and learned our way around the campus quickly in the two days we were there. I even got to visit a great friend of mine, Royar, formerly the Young Southern Prep, and chat with her about our high school and sorority recruitment! (note to self, invest in a pair of chacos and learn to rock the oversized t-shrit within the next 9 months.)
Tuscaloosa is a great town and we ate at some fantastic restaurants based on some spot-on recommendations from friends and followers. I had a second birthday dinner at DePalma's Italian Cafe (out-of-this-world delicious, let me tell you!) and ate some barbecue ribs that just about changed my life at Dreamland, a favorite spot of Bear Bryant! Clearly in Alabama the freshman 15 is real and can be gained in about two days if you're motivated.
Thinking about leaving my school behind is painful, but with a place like this waiting for me I really have nothing to be afraid of... but I'm not quite ready to give up all of my orange and blue just yet.
Roll Tide!
