Well, it’s official: I’m a college graduate! A few weeks ago on May 8th and 9th, the University of Massachusetts – Amherst held commencement ceremony at McGuirk Stadium with 5,500 undergraduate student receiving bachelor’s degrees with over 20,000 people watching. Oh, and did I mention it was 90 degrees?
Do you ever have one of those days that you never want to end? Instead of being a day for me, I wanted this past weekend to never end. Perfect weather, perfect friends and a perfect way to start to wrap up my college life.
You know when you have so much going on it causes you to have a full blown panic attack that you decide to take a nap and even that doesn’t work to calm you down? Well that happened. Let me tell you about it.
Warning: I intend to be extremely dramatic.
Happy April! The beginning of April means spring and warmer weather. I am so ready for the sun to shine, the flowers to start blooming and to wear all my cute clothes again. Before all that can happen, we have to make it through the dreadful day that is the first of April – April Fool’s Day.
Happy (almost) St. Patrick’s Day! This past weekend was our annual Blarney Blowout school wide St. Patrick’s Day party! Because St. Patrick’s Day involves a lot of green, (usually) drinking and celebrating (even if you aren’t Irish like me), going all out for the festivities is always the way to go. Since my recent post about the birthday cake shots was so popular, I searched long and hard to find a festive and easy St. Patrick’s Day craft to share. And I found the perfect ones: shamrock Jell-O shots.
Can you believe this? This is how close I am to being a college graduate. This is so scary. But also so exciting. With being so close to the end of my time in college (ew), there is still one thing I struggle with that I think other people in my position can relate to: which is more important – school or applying for jobs?
Tomorrow (February 23) is one of my roommate’s 22nd birthday and we knew we had to do something important and special to celebrate her birthday. Thursdays are our favorite night to go out because after a long, stressful week, we all can’t wait to hang out, get dressed up, listen to some fun music and have a great time. We decided the Thursday night before her birthday would be the day we celebrated.
Living in a house gives me the opportunity to really feel like I’m living on my own. One of the best parts about it is the kitchen and how I can learn to cook my own food. I’ve been trying to eat healthy and not always buy junk food (except for Goldfish which are my absolute favorite) so I try to make dinners more interesting. Sometimes they are good. Sometimes they aren’t.
