It All Comes Down to This

I am officially done with finals and my undergraduate career at FSU! It's a bittersweet feeling. All that's left is the graduation ceremony tomorrow.. which should be interesting. I'm not the best at hiding tears when I feel like I need to cry, haha.

Waiting to hear back from a few schools that haven't had deadlines pass and figure out my life!

But anyway for today just a short post about how I'm done :)

After tomorrow, I'll be on to the next chapter! Hope everyone's finals week hasn't been too terrible and hopefully you're done already!

XOXO, E

Finally Finals Time

And by finally I mean, can't they finally be over??

Motivation is really lost at this point when it comes to studying. We're all in summer mode and just over classes. Not to mention, Royal Wedding Week has taken over my t.v. and is basically my new weekly obsession. Can't wait to rock my Friday final while wearing a tiara in honor of Kate Middleton. It's going to be amazing!

Good luck to everyone on Finals!!

XOXO, A

How Old Are You Again?

It always drives me crazy when people don't act their age. It's not that hard guys. We're all in college and grown ups. We should be able to know when to be serious, know when to keep something to ourselves, know when to let go of dumb shit, and know when to respect someone who's talking.

Some people neeeeeed to learn respect and although not all people deserve it, a lot of people do. So they should be given it :)

I just really wish people would grow up. There are bigger issues going on in the world than you think. Don't let something petty get to you.

XOXO, E

End of the Semester

I don't know about you all, but the end of this semester has hit me hard with tons of work!

Luckily the end is so near (10 days!!) and the summer shall be filled with way less stress (hopefully) and lots of fun with good friends.

Congrats to the graduating seniors! Good luck and be successful in all that you do. We'll miss you (Some we're sad to see leave, others can't leave soon enough lol, if you're thinking of a name that starts with an M then you're on the right page hahaha)

Good luck with finals everyone and have a safe summer

XOXO, A

Emotional Rollercoaster

There are 18 days left until graduation, which is exciting and scary at the same time. Yesterday's end to chapter was moving. Hearing everyone talk specifically to people or generally to a group of people telling them how they've changed them or have made their experience in APO better/different was amazing. People I never thought would say something so serious, did. People who usually don't show emotions, did. It was great.

Although it was great to see and hear, it was crazily sad also. 2 years ago I pledged this fraternity and 2 years later, basically all of my friends are in it. I bitch about a lot of things aphio but without it, I wouldn't be the person I am and I wouldn't have had the college experience that I did.

Awards is going to be an interesting, emotional night but I'm excited. I can't wait for DOA and for the end of an amazing time :)

4 more days until a mini-vacation with Meghan, Kara, Mallory, and Kelsey in PCB! I cannot freaking wait. I know it's only 10 AM on Monday but Friday, where are you?!

XOXO, E

Change Requires Effort

The thing about people is that they bitch a lot and want change but when they're given the opportunity to voice their opinions in a way that may actually bring about change, they don't show up to use their voice.

I feel like if you really want something to change, you have to make more of an effort to make sure it does. Just complaining about it won't get the job done.

"A lot of people are afraid to say what they want and that's why they don't get what they want."

Friends

It's so unbelievably nice and reassuring to have such a positive support system surrounding you during the times the seem to be so overwhelming. Lately I've been surrounded by all my truest and best friends ever and it's made such a difference in how I feel. Seeing friends who you haven't seen in a while sometimes can be a little weird, but when you're really good friends that time apart feels like nothing. It's nice to have a change in pace and be around people who you've lost touch with. It's also nice to know that just because you're out of sight, doesn't necessarily mean you're out of mind. 

Throughout the years you'll have friends who come and go, friends who will surprise you (and not in a good way) and have friends who just make life fun, carefree, and happy. I've been blessed to have a handful of amazingly beautiful friends (inside and out)! Quality definitely trumps quantity in this department, if you ask me. 

I love you all and can't wait to have more fun times. (And yes, I mean this summer and once school is finally out!)

XOXO, A

Finally 21!

I've literally been counting down for my 21st birthday since Summer 2010, and now it's FINALLY come and gone!

My birthday started off with a few of my favorite people (Frankie and Catherine). We went at midnight to buy champagne to celebrate and ending up taking a nasty shot of 99 watermellon. I don't know why this man thought that would be a great way to ring in my birthday but oh well, fun experience nonetheless.

Then I went to lunch with Jessica and got drinks. We decided to pass on margaritas since we aren't fans of tequila and got something else, and it was amazing! (I wish I remember what it was called lol)

After my LSAT class I went to Proof for drinks with Sara which was a really nice way to end the day. Proof is super nice and chill. It's definitely a place worth checking out.

Thursday was so much fun! Going to Bulls was one of the best nights ever! I'm definitely going to invest in a moose card.  Having my amazing friends and amazing sign (which was completed with the exception of going behind the bar) made the night one that I will never forget. I'm really happy I didn't blackout and am able to remember all the fun I had. Michele, Debbie, Frankie, Kathryn, Lampi, George, Colin, Jessica, Chrissy, Matt and Sara, you all are awesome! The night wasn't the same without Shayla though. But don't you worry Shayla, as soon as you're 21 you're coming!!!! <3

Kathryn, I'm so happy you're my twin seester! I'm also so happy to have finally seen you tipsy! You were the cutest funniest gurl there! Pumpkin picture NEEDS to be your profile pic hahahaha :)

A special thanks to Catherine and Frankie. They were awesome and made my big day so special. There's nothing like a good birthday celebration to bring good friends even closer.

Can't wait to see what the year of 21 will bring!

XOXO, A
