Exam time!!

Hey all!!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been SUPER busy with school work. It seems like I haven't done any huge projects or papers all year and then all of a sudden I have had one or the other due in the past week. Again procrastinating is definitely not a good quality but I believe everyone falls into a rut every once in a while. Finals are in two weeks so studying is definitely happening!! My advice to you guys....DO NOT wait until the last minute to study for finals!! It will not be worth staying up till the wee hours in the morning studying the night before exams. TRUST ME!

Although I have to get through papers, projects, and exams, there is one thing to look forward to....

SUMMER TIME!!!!!!

I am such a summer girl! My birthday is in August and I spend every free minute I have at the Jersey Shore. Now some of you may have skewed views of the Jersey shore because of a certain "True Life" special on MTV. The Jersey shore is an absolutely FABULOUS place to be!! Its a definite lifestyle! lol If you meet anyone from NJ, they will definitely be as obcessed with the Jersey shore as I am. Here's a picture of where I spend my summer vacation...

As you can probably tell, I am EXTREMELY excited!!

Anyway, I hope that that picture of the beach heightened your excitement for summer. But, on a more serious note, exams are definitely a big part of the college experience. As long as you don't procrastinate and get all of your work in on time, you will avoid the "stressed out college kid" stereotype. I PROMISE! :)

Well, thats it for me today..I'll keep you updated on how those exams go :)

I'll leave you with a very exciting tidbit of information...well exciting for me anyway...I'm going to a John Mayer concert this summer!! He is soo amazing at the guitar and his voice is pretty good too. If you ever need a relaxing CD to listen to, invest in John Mayer "Room for Squares". Its fabulous! room_for_squares_b00005oaie.jpg

Talk to you guys soon! Cya! :)

Easter :)

Hey everyone! :)

Happy Belated Easter!!! So I actually got to go home to NJ for Spring Break which was absolutely fabulous...Its nice to go home every once in a while. I do really miss my parents but I have learned how to separate school time and parents time so that its wayyy easier to get through the first year of school and not be ridiculously homesick. Spring Break consisted of a lot of quality time with my parents for 2 reasons: 1) i actually LIKE hanging out with my parents because they are amazing people and 2) all of my friends back home had a different spring break from my sister and i so they were all still at school.

The only draw back to Spring Break was that I couldn't spend Easter at home with my family :( Not cool at all!! I did however get a home cooked meal because I went to my friend Ashley's house with some friends. It was fabulous there (not the same as home) but still fabulous nonetheless. easter.jpg Easter Crew!!!!

The girls I went with and I got to go over a day eary and make desserts and dye eggs which was tons of fun. We all felt like little kids again and of course I made a cake. We had soo much fun.

Most recently, the most exciting thing thats happened is that my friends and I r all playing Intramural Volleyball. We aren't horrible but we're by no means good lol. Intermural sports are a great way to play a competitive sport on campus (ie. basketball, volleyball, flag football, etc) without actually have any athleticism whatsoever. lol
I'll leave you with some of the most recent pics from our first game ( we won once match and lost two match)...

PS here's my favorite quote of the past week...I've made it an away message a BUNCH of times

Back at SNHU!

Hey everyone! Well I'm back at SNHU for my final 5 weeks of my freshman year! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. I've had an AMAZING TIME so far so I guess thats all that counts, right??

Spring Break was filled with simple relaxation. I basically went back home to Jersey and hung out with my parents for two reasons. 1. because all of my other friends were still at school considering we have different spring breaks and 2. because I actually LIKE my parents (I know hard to believe considering i'm an 18 year old girl...what can i say i'm FAR from normal lol)

I actually did do two pretty important things over spring break. I interviewed (and GOT!!) a Co-op job (which is required during the summer after your freshman year for all culinary majors fyi) in Hoboken, NJ. www.carlosbakery.com--check it out!!!

I also made a cake for my mom's friend's sister's 30th birthday party.

It took me 2 and 1/2 hours to do but I was sooo proud of it :)

Well now i'm back to regular life at SNHU...but i will leave u with a helpful hint if your looking for an AMAZING movie to buy....HAPPY FEET!!! i know i know it may seem like a kids movie but its FABULOUS!! definitely worth seeing

Well thats all for now....
Byezz :)
