So I saw the critically acclaimed, academy award nominated movie Doubt a few days ago.

It had so much hype that I figured I had to see it.. and well that is all it was... Hype! I didn't really like it. I feel like I shouldn't say that because of all the prise this movie is recieving but oh well... I said it... I didn't like it!! The actors and actresses in the movie are very talented and were very good but the movie was boring to me. I need more action and there was just a lot of talking. So here is my two sense for today. Save your four dollars at blockbuster and rent something else.. like.. say... Transformers! (the new one if coming out in the Summer!! I am soo excited and yes I am a huge nerd! :) )

Hey All,

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I have been crazy busy with homework and school in general. This week is going to be very busy for me as well. My boyfriend, as I might have mentioned, is a Lacrosse player here at SNHU. He has three games this week (today at Merrimack @ 7:00p.m and two Home Games Wednesday and Saturday)!! So like a good girlfriend, I am going to all of these games. I need to make sure I get all of my work done so I can actually go to these games. This is where my organizational skills come into play!

Saturday is also a big day for the SNHU campus! The Senior Men's Lax Game is Saturday as well as SNHU Stock. SNHU stock is held once a year and it is pretty much one big party. SNHU hires professional and local bands to play as well as other attractions like a dunk tank. It should be very fun. Barefoot Truth is playing (really good band!!!) as well as my friend Dave's Band--Hope Lane is a Dead End. I will let you all know how it goes in my next blog.

Well, until then,

Byezzz

I know I usually start off each Blog with a little new fact or song or some other tidbit of information that I find interesting so here you go...

I have a new favorite song!! (Yes, I have a new favorite song every week but, hey, I like music what can I say!)... Check out The Script "The man who can't be moved". They are a band from Ireland and kinda sound like John Legend. It sounds weird but I like them and this song, so if you are bored, Check it out!!

Hey All,

Well, one week down, five more to go in the school year! I honestly can't believe my junior year is almost over. It is crazy how fast college flies by. However, I have loved every minute of it!!! ok, except for the homework part :) !

Anyway, this past week, I have pretty much been trying to stay on top of all the end of the year homework that has been piling on. Sometimes you can get overwhelmed and think there are not enough hours in the day to get all of your work done but trust me, a good deep breath and some determination does a college student good. I have been perfecting my homework habits since Freshman Year and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to share some of them with you...

1) Do you homework where you are comfortable. Sometimes people (like myself) can't work in a quiet room, like the library, or an incredibly noisy room, like the cafeteria. I tend to do my homework in my apartment because that is where I can put on my sweatpants and feel incredibly "at home" and comfortable. It's your choice but don't study or do homework anywhere where you are not comfortable and can't concentrate.

2) Keep a running To Do List! I make To Do Lists for everything but especially for homework. Whenever you get a new assignment, make sure you add it to your list or a calendar that you look at daily. This will help you to stay on top of assignments and not have to pull the dreaded "ALL NIGHTERS" that people always relate to college. (I have never pulled an all nighter! and yes I am proud of that).

3) Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today! Trust me, in college something always comes up and throws off your groove. If you are sitting around, watching tv, try to get some work done. This will be helpful when a new, fun activity comes up and you want to go. You will get your work done early so you will have more free time to do the fun stuff!!

Well, I hope these tips are useful to you because I know they help me. Anyway, this weekend is Easter and yes I am NOT going home :( . I guess that is the price I have to pay for living 6 hours away. I will tell you guys all about it next week!

Until Then... Bye!!!

"At the beach, Just Another Day in Paradise!!!"

Hey all,

So it is that time of year again... SPRING BREAK!!! Well, for my old readers, my last spring break was less than eventful. I spent the week in Bayonne, NJ (my hometown) doing pretty much nothing. Well, this spring break was very different. Six friends and I decided to take a trip to... drum roll please... THE BAHAMAS!!

I started the planning in September and finally all the hard work came together on March 22nd!! We arrived in Nassau, Bahamas for a 5 day, 4 night relaxing vacation! It was amazing. We went to an all-inclusive resort that had its own private beach, pool, and jacuzzi. It was beautiful and when they say all-inclusive, they mean ALL-inclusive! I never took my money out the entire trip. It was awesome!

We sat on the beach...

went into downtown Nassau...

went in the jacuzzi...

and went to a casino!

As you can probably tell from the pictures, WE HAD A GREAT TIME! The worst part was having to leave. We are definitely planning a trip for spring break next year!!

Well, now I have to get back to the real world and that includes homework! Talk to you guys soon!!

xoxo
