Hey all!!!

Merry Belated Christmas From My Family to Yours!!

Wow, it has been so long since I blogged. As you can probably tell I have been super busy with school, but I'm Back!! So let me start by giving you a recap.

My name, for any new readers, is Emily White and I am a Junior at SNHU. I am a Convention and Event Management Major and live on campus in one of the 6 person apartments. I have a twin sister, who is my roommate and also another SNHU blogger. I am from Bayonne, New Jersey.

Ok so enough background, lets get to the good stuff.

Last semester was interesting. I was taking 5 classes and working my butt off too keep my grades where I like them to be. Not to brag but I wound up ending that semester with a 3.9 GPA. I guess all of my hard work did pay off.

Even though I was working up a storm, I did not forget my friends and to tell you the truth we had some pretty awesome times. Last semester, I was living in the apartment with my sister, my best friends, Tanya and Amanda, as well as two international students, Vivian and Helen.

It was incredibly interesting to live with Vivian and Helen (the international students were from China and typically most international students choose American names to use). They were very nice yet quite. They tended to mostly stay in their room. It was definitly a new experience for me to be living with people that English wasn't their first language. Being from Jersey, I tend to talk really fast and have a thick Jersey accent so it was a challenge to try to slow down my speaking so that I could have conversations with my new roommates. However, it all did work out and we wound up having a very good semester.

Below is a picture of me and Vivian:

Unfortunately, they both moved off campus in December, so this semester our friend Rachel is moving in because she is back from her semester in Austraila. I am sooo excited to have her living with us again. The old crew is almost all back! (Ashley, we still miss you!!).

As of now, It is almost the end of Winter Break. we had about a month of (from December 20th - January 20th). I head back to SNHU in 2 days and I am very excited yet not wanting to start doing homework again. After having a month to sit at home and do nothing, homework sounds like no fun at all. However, I am excited to see my friends and boyfriend again. A month is a long time to go without seeing your Best Friends, but we handle it. You will realize when you go to college that your college friends become your college family when you are a school. It is an awesome feeling!!

Well thats it for me!! Talk to you soon!!

XOXO,
Em
