Spring Break is finally here!!! As much as I love school, I desperately needed a break from all the work and drama that comes with living with a bunch of 20-somethings.

When Spring Break is discussed earlier in the year, everyone has very high expectations. This happened to us this year. My 4 roommates and I were so excited about planning a trip for the week we had off. We had all the ideas and plans in the making and then we realized there was one thing we didnt plan out....where all this money was going to come from. Spring Break plans really put the funds in your bank account into perspective. We finally decided on going to the only place that we could all afford.........home. Even though we were bummed that we couldn't go away for Spring Break, I am absolutely thrilled to be home in NJ. I haven't seen my parents since Christmas break so I am very excited that I get to spend some quality time with them before I go back to New Hampshire.

My Spring Break plans aren't very exciting but they consist of work, being with my family and friends, and making sure that I have a job for this summer. Not all that thrilling I know, but it's still nice to be able to be in my own town again even if it's only for a week.

Easter was amazing this year because I was actually home for it. Last year, since Easter was so late I ended up having to go to my friend's house in NH. I had a lot of fun last year but it wasn't the same because I wasn't with my family. So this year, even though I had to work on Easter sunday and the day before (I work in a bakery...it comes with the territory), Easter was traditional and really heartwarming. Being with my entire family just makes it feel even more like a holiday :)

Well that's all for now. I'm definitely going to enjoy my Spring Break at home. Hope all is well with everyone.

Ok..so when people tell you that college is going to take up a lot of your time......they aren't kidding!! It's the middle of my last semester of sophmore year and I have literally not had any time to stop and think.

This past month has been filled with work, school, and my friends. I am a Teacher's Assistant for one of my chefs in the Hospitality building so I help out with one of the freshman bakeshop labs every Monday morning at 7am (Believe me, if your thinking about being a culinary major, you get used to the waking up at 7am thing). I have also been spending a lot of time focusing on my schoolwork so I can keep up the amazing GPA I got first semester.

Now don't get me wrong, even though I've been working hard doesnt mean I've set up a tent in the library. My best friend, Ash's, birthday was this past weekend and we had an amazing time! I made her a pink gift box cake (I will put a picture up as soon as I can get it to work ) which she absolutely loved and we all took her out to dinner at a Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse which was soooooo good!

As much as I love being at school, I do miss home at this point. I haven't seen my parents since winter break which is a long time for us so it's a little difficult but I'm going home on Friday for Spring Break so I'm pretty excited. I just have to get through midterms and I'll be home free!

Well tomorrow is ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!! I'll definitely post again tomorrow because I'm Irish and I have to represent :)

Talk to you all then!
