TGIF!!

Hey everyone!!

THANK GOODNESS IT IS FRIDAY!! Let me tell you, the week before a vacation is the LONGEST week ever!! I am soo excited that I get to go home soon for my favorite holiday! Since I am from New Jersey, my trips home are limited to major breaks/vacations (Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break basically). Because of this limited travel, I usually have about 2-3month intervals without seeing my parents. Since this is my senior year, it has become a little easier to manage because it is just part of the routine. However, freshman year it wasn't as easy. My sister and I had each other which helped feel like a brought a piece of home with me to New Hampshire but it just wasn't the same. I am very close to both of my parents and it means the world to me when I get to see them. So my advice to any of you SNHU hopefuls who are from out of state (or WAYY out of state like me) is to make sure you take advantage of the time you get to spend with your families before college and during college. It also helps to establish friendships at school to combat the homesickness that is inevitable during the first couple of months freshman year. Believe me, I LOVE my school family and wouldn't know what to do with myself without them. However, getting to go home and spend quality time with my mom and dad and the rest of my (biological) family is probably the best feeling in the world! I can't wait till Tuesday!!! :)

Happy Halloween...& Midterms?!?!

Hey Everyone!!

Happy (belated) Halloween!!! I'm a big fan of Halloween so I figured even though it isn't technically October anymore I can still get away with wishing you all a happy Halloween. I had a great time on Halloween this year but it was also a little sad because it was the last one I got to celebrate at SNHU with all of my amazing friends.

That's the thing I'm learning about senior year. It is filled with really happy times mixed with sad "lasts" like "my last first day of school" or "my last Halloween at SNHU". Make sure that you live everyday at college as if it were your last because believe me when I tell you that it FLIES BY!!

I have been super busy lately because it happens to be midterm season here at Southern New Hampshire University. I was lucky because most of my midterms were spread out over two weeks so I had plenty of time to prepare and study. Make sure you do not wait until the last minute to study for big tests like this though. Studying a little everyday definitely helps you retain information and makes it wayy less stressful when it comes time to take the test.

Well it's back to doing work for me. I can't believe I only have 5 weeks left before the end of my last fall semester at SNHU :( As you can tell, I'm not exactly happy about it lol.

Until next time,
Liz :)
