Who Am I? Hi! My name is Emma Webb. I am currently an Auburn University senior on track to earn a bachelor's degree in elementary education by May of 2021. Upon graduation I hope to obtain a job teaching the bright young minds of America! I am a fourth-year member of the Auburn University Marching Band Flagline and during my time in the AUMB I have become an active sister the Theta Lambda chapter of Tau Beta Sigma National Honorary Band Sorority! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my two dogs Piper and Apollo. You can find me at the Red Barn in Auburn, Alabama or on the beaches in Panama City Beach, Florida. I was born and raised in the sunshine state but moved to Alabama the beautiful three days after I graduated high school in 2016. Why I Started Blogging/Vlogging I have always liked to journal my experiences and thoughts, but since I have been isolated do to Covid-19, I have had a lot of extra time on my hands. This site will serve as an...

Wedding Planning in a Pandemic

Image
  Hey friends! It has been a long time since I have posted a blog. Life has been crazy! The same goes for you, I’m sure. I have polled my audience and the most popular topic for me to share next is how I planned my wedding in a pandemic. So, HERE WE GO! As you guys know, Benjamin and I got engaged in November 2019 (so right before the pandemic). Within a week or two, we had a date planned. We had no clue where we would get married, but after thinking about school, graduations, and bowl games, we decided that the best time would be in December. After graduation and hopefully before any bowl games. We have always hated the idea of a summer wedding because we did not want to deal with the heat and humidity (no offense to my friends that have them. They are beautiful, just too hot for me). I also did not want a two-year engagement. After setting a date, we quickly ordered our save the dates. We wanted our family and friends to mark their calendars as soon as possible! We were s...

Managing Feelings of Rejection and Hurt

-
Image
We have all been there.  Upset baby Emma 20.5 years ago Whether it was a boyfriend or girlfriend who dumped us, the falling out of a best friend, not making a sports team, not making the grade you studied so hard to get, not getting accepted into your desired program… We have all felt it at least once in our lives. Rejection. Hurt. The feeling that no one understands how much you wanted something or how much you worked for something. The feeling that you are not enough, not wanted, not appreciated. Well honeys, let me tell you. You are loved, appreciated, and worthwhile. I want to share the steps that I take during these hard times to make sure that I crawl back up out of my deep dark pit of self-misery. My initial reaction is probably your initial reaction. I feel hurt, saddened, and pained. It is perfectly acceptable to let yourself have these moments of grieving. Even for your little losses. It helps to cry out and let your emotions take hold for a little bi...

My Injuries

How I got them and how I am living with them.  Sheila The first of my three major injuries is Sheila. Sheila is my left knee cap. My left knee cap minutes before it decide to flee and Sam Sheila happened to cause some trouble February 6th of 2016. My teammates and I stayed late after school to rehearse our routine for our Florida Band Master’s Association evaluation. Every year each auxiliary group must put together a routine to be judged at the local level. If you get a superior at the local level, then you move on to state. Our evaluation day was February 8th, only two days away. The previous week I had been working extra hard to make sure my solo was perfect. To the point where my body was exhausted. We had already run through the routine multiple times, starting with counts, and moving on with music. This was going to be our last run through until the next day. Our very first trick was a toss illusion and I had been dropping it all day. I had a headache and was running a...

My Summer After High School

My Summer After High School Hello! This is the story of the time I moved 221 car miles away from all my friends and family (except for Aislyn).  The night I graduated was a night to remember. Graduating top 7% of my 350+ class, a GPA of 4.2, fireworks going off as we tossed our caps, and 2016 hits playing in the background was pure happiness to my 18-year-old self. Do not get the wrong impression though. I worked hard to keep my grades up, but probably not as hard as I could have. I was happy with having As and Bs, and did not see a reason to drive myself crazy if I happened to get a B or a C. I did however drive myself crazy if I got any lower than that, which only happened in my dual enrolled trigonometry class. I still had time to have a job as a cashier at the Carousel Supermarket on Front Beach Road, still had time to hold a leadership position in my high school marching band, and still had time to hangout with my friends and family during my free time. As much as I loved li...

Genesis Study

-
Image
Chapter One We all know that Genesis is the first book of the Bible. When people think about Genesis, they mainly only think about the origin or creation. Well, as you probably assumed, there is much much more included in the book of Genesis.  Yes, the first chapter talks about God creating the heavens and the earth, but let's take a closer look at some verses. ​"God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness." - Genesis 1:4 "God called the dry ground 'land', and the gathered waters he called 'seas.' And God saw that it was good." - Genesis 1:10 "The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good." - Genesis 1:12 "God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it w...
