First Post

I meant to start this awhile ago, when I first got to Vegas, I've been here about 6 weeks now, so I'll just recap for you. I came out to Las Vegas to attend UNLV as a dance major. But I also came to make the life I wanted for myself. A life that was different than what I've known for 18 years in small town Georgia. A life where I do what I want to do, and be who I want to be. I'm not your typical college student, I dress like a cross between a 50s pin-up and a rockabilly greaser (girl version) and I rock out to Elvis.
I saw Las Vegas as the perfect place to express myself. I love everything about this city. I love the history, obviously Elvis, and other fabulous performers, I love the neon lights of the strip, I love the idea of gambling and taking chances that is inspired by the casinos. I want to do so much in this city, I want it to know my name.
So, I've been here for 6 weeks and I'm pretty well adjusted, I have my school routine: 4 dance classes, and an English class a week, I'm learning new things and trying to take what I can and make it my own, I frequent local favorite places such as In-N-Out Burger (so good!) and Town Square, and walk the strip regularly, it all feels very normal to me now, but is still exciting....and I've made some great friends. I hang out with my roomate and her sister, people who live on my floor and other dance majors. I would say my PIC (Partner In Crime) is Alexe, she's originally from New Mexico, but moved out to Vegas with her family in June, so we're having fun exploring LV together. And of course I have my "Big Brother" Troy who I consider my family out here.
At this point I've already realized a lot about myself, discovered more, and expanded my hopes, dreams and desires, this is the begining of a great adventure, and I can't wait to see where I go!
