What's it like to be a sophomore at Ole Miss?
New Challenges and Following My Passions
The first seven weeks of school have honestly been really solid for me. I feel like I have accomplished a lot already, and I’m really proud of the way everything has been going.
One of my biggest highlights was getting the opportunity to be an understudy in a production. The whole process went really smoothly and the weekend of the show was a ton of fun. I deeply enjoyed being part of the production and getting to learn from the experience. Even though I’m a little sad that the show is over I’m also excited because now I get to focus on some new and interesting things.
My classes are starting to move into new units and I feel like I’m smelling the chicken. I also had my first exam and I ended up acing it which gave me even more confidence going forward. I’ve been doing really well in all of my classes and I feel like the hard work I’ve been putting in is starting to pay off.
Outside of class I’ve also been making progress with my acting skills. I finally perfected a song for my audition book which is something I’ve been working toward in voice lessons. Now I’m moving into comedy in my speech class so I’m excited to see how I can grow in that area.
If I had to describe my past seven weeks in one word it would be successful. I feel like I’ve been getting stuff done!!! I can’t wait for what’s to come and I need to keep this momentum going into the latter part of this semester.

Almost There
I’m not even going to lie, I really need Thanksgiving break to get here. We’ve been going to school for seven weeks straight without a break, and I’m starting to feel drained. Between classes, assignments, and everything else going on, it feels like there’s always something I need to get done. I still enjoy being at Ole Miss and having the college experience, but sometimes you just need a little time to breathe and not have to worry about school for a few days. I’ve been thinking about Thanksgiving break so much lately because I’m ready to relax, spend time with family, and get some energy back. At this point, I’m just trying to finish strong and make it to the break.
Another thing that happened recently was that I rolled my ankle playing basketball. I was going up for a rebound, and when I came down, I think I tweaked it. It definitely slowed me down for a little bit, but it’s all good now. I just have to be smart about it and make sure I’m not doing too much too soon. Between school and everything else I have going on, the last thing I need is to make it worse. I’m just glad I can keep moving forward and get back to doing the things I enjoy.
On another note, Halloween is coming up, and I still don’t have a costume figured out. Every year, I feel like I should have a plan way before Halloween gets here, but somehow I always end up trying to figure something out at the last minute. Honestly, I might just rock out with my prisoner costume again because I already know that one works. I might even throw on a Michael Jackson costume one night just to switch things up. Between those two, I think I’ll be good. Halloween at Ole Miss should be fun, and I’m looking forward to seeing what everybody else comes up with. Sometimes the best part isn’t even the costume itself but seeing everybody out having a good time.
Overall, things have been going pretty well. School can be a lot sometimes, especially when you feel like you haven’t had a real break in forever, but I’m still enjoying being here and making the most of college. I’m just trying to balance everything, have fun when I can, and stay on top of my responsibilities. Thanksgiving is getting closer, Halloween is almost here, and the semester is moving right along. For now, I’m taking things one day at a time and counting down until I can finally get some rest. We’re almost there, so let’s finish strong!
