I move back into UMBC in 3 days and I absolutely can’t wait. Back in May I was looking forward to this summer as a chance to catch up with people and to relish in the home I thought I had in New Jersey. Looking back now though I realize that none of these things has been achieved. My relationships with most of my Jersey friends is, well… awkward! ( Read more... )

Wow, so summer is really almost over and soon enough I will be heading back to UMBC again both a sheer delightful and joyous moment and also a dreaded time. I can't believe how fast the summer has flown by! I have so many people I want to see and things I want to do before I go back and I'm seriously beginning to question whether I'll be able to.

A year ago I never could have imagined that things would turn out like they are now, that I am who I have become, that my best friends are who they are (considering a year ago I hadn't met most of them). I'm not saying I'm sorry that things have turned out this way, I'm just saying it wasn't expected. 
So let's try it again once we all slow down, ( Read more... )

Well vacation was fun but I am oh so glad to be back. I can only handle Dad's family in really small doses and that was my 3rd time seeing them in like a month and we'll be back up there in 2 weeks. Meanwhile haven't seen Mom's family since November and my Granny since my graduation party last year. I have a new baby cousin, Amber, who is the ( Read more... )

I was never a big fan of the movie Alice in Wonderland despite my deep devotion to Disney and the many movies it has produced through the years. In a way it was because this movie seemed all to real to me, being lost in a world that is not your own, to be trapped in a new reality with no one to turn to. As college quickly approached last year I ( Read more... )

The new Axe commercials utilize your catch phrase and it makes me smile. :D Heading back to Jersey tomorrow!

I had to say goodbye to my first college buddy, Jon today. It was a rather traumatizing event. I'm going to miss UMBC and all my friends here like crazy over the summer. Things are going to be so different next semester. Everyone is going to be in different dorms. Luckily we had Caitlin (the community director) on our side so we got our pick of ( Read more... )

Oh yea and Friday night was Patapsco Prom. I had a blast and it included many wondeful moments. Here are some pics:

Well finals start tomorrow and end next Wednesday. I only have 3 finals luckily and the only one that I'm truly worried about is Physics. That class is a pain since it's Calculus based Physics and we can't use calculators for the tests. Caroline already took a bunch of her stuff home so our room is quickly looking barren as I continue to box up ( Read more... )

This semester has been so amazing from crazy times with the hall crew (Jon, Justin, Adam, Chuck, me, Michele, Lauren, Treavohn, and Graham) to silly times with the girls (me, Caroline, Emily, Michele, and Lauren) to party nights and hangman with the basement crew (Joe R., Joe W., Chris, Mike, Caitlin, Emily, Meryl, ....) I don't want it to end!!! ( Read more... )
