The leaves are changing

October was a month full of DOZENS of ups and downs.  The weather has been insane, one day its FREEZING and the next its warm.  Today was beautiful I wish I had a chance o hang around outside but I had so much going on.  

October, like I said in my last post, was crazy.  I have never been more stressed out since I came to SHU.  The living was easy freshman year.  Sophomore year is still fun but it is a lot more work.  My classes have been unreal, paper after paper, exam after exam.  That alone had me going crazy!

Outside of the classroom I had so much going on as well.  I had SHU FORCE dance tryouts and I am happy to say that I made the Hip-Hop core, I can't wait until the recital in Spring!  I've had marketing meetings and projects lined up because yours truley is the marketing club secretary.  On top of that I've had sorority things constanlly, especially because October was breast cancer month!  

Aside from the constant go go go, I have managed to as the expression goes "all work and no play".  Well, tricked you, my friends and I can always make time for "play".  Through all these stressful times i must say my SHU loves have helped me through and helped me to function on a daily basis.  

This past weekend was Homecoming vs. Bryant and we won!  The game was so much fun, there was so many people there especially because it was alumni weekend! 

Only the best wear the crown!

So I told you all I would get back to you about my rushing situation!  I currently am pledging ZTA!  They gave me a bid and I accepted!  I am so excited to get started on my adventure with ZTA!  This month is our philanthropy month...Breast Cancer.  So this month is going to be really busy for me and all of the Zetas!  Come down and support our cause!!

Zeta Tau Alpha <3

So since this month will be so busy Ill probably be writing back in November!  Don;t forget to visit us at SHU, you'll love it just as much as I do!  

Go Greek!

hey everyone!

So i know its kind of weird to say but I feel like school just started this past week.  I know i've been here for three weeks of school but I finally just started doing EVERYTHING that i'm going to be doing regularly (ie my daily tours fitting in with my class and work schedule).  So everyday I give one or two tours of the University (come visit, maybe you'll get lucky and have me as a tour guide!..kidding..but serious!)  and then I go to my classes.  I just got offered a tutoring position for my art history class and I thought that was pretty cool (stacking up those resume builders! ha)  but all of my school-ish aside i made a really big decision in my life...

..i'm going GREEK!  

So i was totally petrified at first, but I just had sisterhood night tonight and all of the girls from ALL of the sororities made me feel right at home!  I cant wait to start my adventure with one of these great sororities.  We have six here at Sacred Heart.  Four are national and two are local.  They all have so many great things to offer and I think that I have a lot to offer them, I hope they see that!! Well i'm so excited and tomorrow morning I get to learn about their philanthropies :o) Well i'm really excited, I'll let you all know the outcome next time i write!  

I hope all of you seniors out there are starting your college search of great!  Come visit SHU, it was one of 17 schools that I visited but it was the one that I kept coming back to!  It really is an amazing place.  Tours are Monday-Friday 10,12, and 2.  You can call our Admissions office and schedule an appointment or just walk in at one of those times too!!

I better be seeing you soon!!

Sophomore Year Begins :o)

I finally moved into my beautiful suite!  Summer was a lot of fun and I loved being home with family, friends and my puppyy but I couldn't wait to see all of my friends from SHU again.  The suite is absolutely Beautiful! I'll put in some pictures so you can see.  I live in Christian Witness or as we all call it...North.  I love that I am able to have my car here this year too.  Everything is great so far!  My classes are definitely tough but thats college for you!!  Back to the fun and the work :o)

with so many things going on and things to look forward too this summer I've hardly had time to take it all in!  Yesterday I got back from a week vacation with one of my best friends!  We went to Ocean City and it was amazing!  We spent every day on the beach just relaxing (NOT working!!!!!!!) and I finally got my summer tan :o)  we had sooo much fun and it made me remember how much i really do love these summer nights!  Now that I'm home again i went to see Harry Potter, call me a nerd but i LOVE the book series and I wasnt going to miss this movie! (andddd i cant wait for the next!)  But anyways my first full day home and back to work but i guess the credit card bill i racked up in Ocean City needs to get paid off (and the 50 dollar medicine for an ear infection my doctor prescribed me last week, what gives!)!  But i guess honestly I kinda issed all of the people and work and my family and my dog while I was away on vacation!  I cant wait to go away with my family to disney world in August, i'm getting so spoiled with vacations this summer!     

Well I have so much to do and I keep thinking about how close getting back to SHU is!  My suitemates <3 and I keep talking about how were going to decorate the suite next yearr andd were all sooooo soooo excited!! CWC is beautiful housing! Ah I reallyy cantt waitt!!!

Check out some pictures from ocean city!

i love being home and seeing my family and all my friends at home but i miss everyone from SHU so much!  I went into brooklyn yesterday after I had work (btw i'm working 6 days a week, really?) to sleep at one of my best friends house from school :o) she had a party and i met a bunch of her friends and some of my friends from school came too!! i miss them all so much!  we've gotten together a few times so far this summer but its hard to try and see everyone because everyone has crazy work schedules and things going on!

so some things im stoked for this summer

1. my birthday (two weeks!)

2. my sisters wedding/ bridal shower (im in the bridal party--stressful!)

3. going to ocean city, maryland with one of my best friends for a week!!! (beach& shopping, whats a better vacation!?)

4.DISNEY WORLD, i cant wait to spend the week in florida in the nice sunny weather and see all my favorite characters (TIGGER!)--and also sea world, thoughh ii ahve long given up my childhood dream of being a "dolphin trainer" hahaha

5. the brittney spears concert--yes i'm still a loyal fan after all of, ...well everything! :o)

well all of that amazing stuff aside i get to go outeast with my family!, meet up with my girls from SHU in the city! &&I went to a yankees game at the new stadium and it is AMAZING, really a yankee theme park, ...its beautiful!

we'll im working a double at work tommorrow and the day after that so i'm going to get to sleep!  i hope everyone coming to SHU in the spring is getting excited! it'll be here before you know it!!!

Closing Time

"Closing time, time for you to go out
To the places you will be from
Closing time, this room won’t be open
Till your brothers or your sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning’s end"

I can't believe that this year is over.  I thought high school went fast but college went even faster and I really feel like i've been here for no time at all.  Its sad knowing that this is the last week everyone gets to spend with their friends and that we all have to study study study for finals :o(.  We all keep getting emails that we have to be out by Wednesday the 13th at 10 am because the seniors are moving into the freshman dorms later that day.  The lucky seniors have "senior week" for a whole week before they graduate.  Sacred Heart gives them a way to have a one last hoorah.  Though everyone moves onto bigger and better things this year will never be forgotten in my whole life.  It was one of the most fun, best, hardest, most amazing experiences of my life and I know next year will only add to it :o) Seniors coming here next year, you really made a great choice &&for those of you who aren't, well you can transfer here :o).  I have a bunch of stuff to be studying for finals so I'll get back to you all the day before or after I move out. I'll be sure to take a before and after picture of my dorm room :o(

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

So much has being going on and I can't wait to update you all about the many, many, many things that I have been up to!  

February 21st was Siblings Weekend.  The best part of siblings weekend was obviously getting to see my little sister!  I was looking forward to this weekend for so long because not for nothing, I really missed my sister!  When she got here we registered and checked her in and got our cute I <3 SHU T-shirts and began our NYC themed weekend.  It was filled with good food and fun activities, like BINGO and getting our caricatures done!  The best part of the weekend of course was getting to see my sister and my parents when they came up to get her!

A few weeks later was my first college Spring Break!!  I may have not gone to Cabo, Cancun or Miami but I definitely had a blast!  I flew down to Virginia and met up with a few friends and my boyfriend!  It was so much fun and I loved being there every second!!!!  The week flew by and I didn't want to come home :o(  I knew I had to because I wanted to see my family and go to my little sisters regional dance competition in NYC, the Big Apple!  Her team did amazing and I was so proud of her!

Though Spring Break was a ton of fun I was looking forward to coming back to SHU!  When I got back I went straight to the Woman's Basketball game!  IT was the Northeastern Conference Championship and we won!  It was an amazing game and the whole school got so into it!  But being back at school meant back to our working regiments and seeing all of my friends.  Reunions at school are always a big to-do!  A day or so into being back at school we got our housing lottery numbers so it was mayhem all over!!     

St. Patrick's Day was a blast!  Everyone got decked out in our Sacred Heart four leaf clovers and wore kiss me i'm irish pins and hats!  That was a night to remember!!

I also worked Accepted Students Day this past Thursday.  I remember when I came up for accepted students day last year and how nerve-racking it was.   

I also participated in Habitat for Humanity this past Saturday.  It was such a great experience.  Not going to lie I was so sore  before I even left the worksite but it was by far worth all of the hard work and effort to help the families of Bridgeport.  Last night we had dodgeball night and it was so much fun to watch!!  I had never seen an actual game of dodgeball and all of the teams got decked out in different themes!  One team even did power rangers, it was adorable!!

So in years past SHU has had the goo goo dolls, PCD, T-Pain, Ne-Yo, etc and this Friday were having 50 Cent!  I can't wait, everyone is getting so hyped up!!  I'll be sure to write all about it after the event!  

Welpppppp, I've beennnn pettyy busyy and I have a ton of work to do tonight!!  I'll be sure to get back to blogging after 50 to let you all know about it!!
