"It may be long to get me there
It feels like I've been everywhere
But someday I'll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I'll be coming home"
- John Legend "Coming Home"

Hey everyone....

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but it has been a stressful two weeks. I've been focusing on school for the most part. It is "crunch" time in college terms. This is the time of year where you recieve every final paper and every review sheet imaginable.

Time-Management is key!!

I always knew that college work and finals week were going to be difficult but I never knew it was going to come around so quick. Ok so here's an idea of what I have to accomplish in the next two weeks:

- 10 page classical argument paper
- 8 page Information Technology Paper
- Statistics Project
- 5-7 page Sanitation Paper
- English final
- Marketing Final
- Sanitation/Security Final
- Statistics Final....

whew... yes i know what your thinking..... OH MY GOD!! because that is exactly what i'm thinking. I know I will get all of it done and to tell you the truth I don't really have a choice but now its just time to buckle down and bang out all this work.

Advice: Your last few weeks of school, you are going to want to spend as much time as you can with your new friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, etc., but don't! School comes first. Don't let all your work pile up until the last week just because you wanted to go out to dinner or you wanted to watch another movie with your friends.

Honestly, I can't believe the school year is almost over. I thought I was going to be excited to be finished with my first year of college and get to go home for a 4 month vacation, but to be completely honest, i'm really not. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my parents and my friends back home, but I have made another home here. I know it sounds so cheesy but it's true. I'm going to miss my dorm, my Massachusetts/New Hampshire friends, my freedom, etc. I'm glad, however, that I didn't take advantage of my college experience. Trust me, I made plenty of friends that didn't make it through their first year of college because they took it for granted. I'm proud that I stuck through it, made great friends, found a boyfriend, had fun, and still maintained a 3.5 GPA. College is an amazing experience if you are mature enough to handle it.

Anyway, my life isn't ALL about boring ol' school work. On Thursday I went to the John Legend concert in Boston at the Orpheium Theatre. He was AMAZING!! My friend Bryan and I went and I was soo happy to take a break from school stuff and just enjoy the show.

We had Great seats!

So anyway, other than that, I am pretty excited for this weekend because of the NFL Draft. I know what your thinking, why on earth am I excited about the draft? Well there is one simple answer........

I LOVE FOOTBALL!

Any Football fan will tell you that the draft is the start of their season. I'm so excited.

Well then that's all for now. I have to go and finishing writing my first draft for my classical argument paper. Talk to you soon.

"One day can change your life. One day can ruin your life. All life is is three or four big days that change everything"

Ok so before i start my post, I watched a movie last night that was really good. It's called Riding in Cars with Boys.

Its kinda a chick flick so sorry guys, this advice is for the girls. It is a really cute movie and the quote above is taken from it. If you are sitting around looking for a good movie to rent, just thought i'd give you this option.

Well Hello again everyone!

So this past week was eventful to say the least. People say that if you work hard enough you will be rewarded. That is exactly what happened to me this past week. On Wednesday I was only supposed to have one class at 9:30am but that class got cancelled because my professor was out of town. I was so excited to have the day off. Then Thursday, I was supposed to have a busy day full of classes but we got hit with a bad snow storm and they closed the school and cancelled all classes. That was an extra bonus that made my week fabulously relaxing.

Friday night I hung out with the few friends that were left on campus because most of my friends went home for the Easter holiday.

Speaking of Easter...

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Since we had our spring break a week prior I couldn't go home for Easter. This was the first Easter my sister and I couldn't be home. It was sad but our friend Ashley's mom took us in (along with our other friends who couldn't go home for the holiday) and we had an amazing Easter at my friend Ashley's house with her mom and family. We even helped out with the decoration process. My sister (being a baking and pastry major and all) did most of the dessert making with Ashley
, while my friend Rachel and I did the hard work--coloring eggs .

Rachel didn't believe me that my eggs were better, but they totally were ;).

So anyway, now i'm back in school mode. Its time to buckle down and get all my final papers and projects complete because we only have about 4 weeks left. Its insane.

Word of Advice-- Don't take the college thing for granted. It goes by so fast you will be amazed. Enjoy your freshman year because you only get one and you want it to be the best it can possibly be. I know mine was.

Until next time...

"Have Fun... Be Good... and If you can't be Good... Be Careful". (a quote from the smartest woman I know--my mom)

Bye For Now,

Em ;)

Memphis: Whatcha doin' there, boy?
Baby Mumble: [tap dancing] I'm happy, Pa!
Memphis: Whatcha doin' with your feet?
Baby Mumble: [looks down] They're happy, too!

^ quote from best movie ever-- HAPPY FEET!!

It's sooo cute. If you get a chance, you must rent or buy this movie. You will not be disappointed.

Hey Everyone!!

Well I just got back from spring break. I know what you might be thinking--where did I go? Somewhere tropical? exotic? sunny? No. No. and No. I went home to Jersey. Don't get me wrong I loved being home and seeing my parents but I would have much rathered going somewhere where "spring break" is a big deal. However, I did come back to school with a fabulous tan :).

So anyway, getting back into the swing of things at school wasn't too bad. Classes were normal and teachers were back into their "getting work done" attitudes.

So today was pretty easy. Tonight was a SNHU home lacrosse game against Assumption College. WE WON!!!! 13-8!!! It was a good game except for when it rained/snowed mid-game, but my friends and I are troopers and stayed for the entire game. It was freezing by the way.

Anyway, thats pretty much all that is going on so far in my life back at SNHU. I have just about one month left in the "Life Free or Die" State. I can't believe this year went by sooo fast. It's insane. I'll just have to make sure this last month is amazing!! ;)

Talk to you all soon.

xoxo,
Em :)
