Victory!

Wooohoo!
Thank you to all who supported and voted for me!

It has been done.

I, Leila Mills, have been elected to be your new RUC Vice President!

I can't wait to start my term and make Regent better for all of you. So far the experience has been great. I've already talked with a bunch of students with concerns for the school.

If any of you out there reading this have any questions then feel free to message me on facebook or just leave a comment. I'm here to serve you all.

Let's RUC and ROLL!

Between Class Ramble

HellooooOoOo Everyone!

Let me just tell you now that I have posted...probably about 3 different post but everytime I go to spell check them they delete themselves and I have no way of getting them back! I don't know why that keeps happening but hopefully it won't this time.

The election for RUC is over and I'll find out tomorrow if I made it or not. If not I've decided I won't be too upset. I'll just take it as a sign that my priorities need to be elsewhere. Plus, just because I'm not on the Executive Board doesn't mean I can't attend meetings and help other ways. So it's a win win in every situation.

Topic change!

It's hard being off campus. There is alot of stuff for undergraduate students to do but it's mainly for residents. I've seen paintball games, tie dye parties, movie nights, even a boat race(!) but it usually says on the poster or advertisment....for RESIDENTS!
BooooO! I love the residents but us Off Campus Kids want to have fun too! Hopefully I can make a change in that department. That will be my ongoing quest for the rest of the year.

On another note God has been blessing me left and right. I've been blessed so much at one point I thought I was dreaming. For example, God has been giving me money back from Regent so often that I'm almost finish paying off the one loan I took out. I couldn't believe it! "God is good and he will provide" is what my Momma told me and he certainly has.

Well that's a brief catch up on all things Leila. How are you all doing? Feel free to leave a comment and chat with me.
Have a great week!

Leila Mills for RUC VP!

So I'm running for Vice President of the Regent Undergrad Council! I'm really excited about campaining and telling as many people as I can which includes everyone! I'm running a joint campaign with my friend Alonte Cross. He is running for Public Relations and so far he has had some really good ideas. I was hoping you all could help me out. I'm trying to think of some campain slogans but I only have a couple so far.
GO PRO LA TODAY!
I was thinking about putting that on a button for my supporters.
Let's RUC and Roll!
Cheesy, I know but Leila is all about being cheesy.


That's about all I got but I rep them good!

Mother Daughter Day

At times I'm sad that I can't live on campus but I'm also glad to still be close to home to my Mom. Today we did the whole mother daughter thing which included running around doing errands, shopping, and stopping for lunch somewhere in between.

The shopping was fun but the best part was lunch. My Mom loves finding local Mom and Pop resturants to support and today we found one that served German and Jewish type food. My grandparents are German so everything on the menu was stuff my Mother use to eat as a kid. She pointed out her Dad's favorite dishes as well as food that her Mother use to make all the time. The menu and atmosphere of the resturant unleashed a flood of childhood memories that I had never heard of before. I felt like my Mother was a treasure chest of knowledge and the key to unlock her was just asking.

It was one of the best memories with my mom but also one of the simplest.
