Things I Love About College

As you all know, I went to Frostburg last December to see my friend Charles graduate, and it got me thinking of all the things I'm going to miss once I graduate. Plus hearing Charles whine about all the things he misses doesn't hurt ;)


So-- what am I going to miss? Sit back, grab a snack and get comfortable, because there's a lot of things that I like here : ) And may I say these are not in any particular order... actually, that's a lie, they'll be in the order of when I think of them...


I love...

~ Watching episodes of Friends with my roommate while we eat, lay in bed, do homework, pretend to do homework, get ready for the day or evening or any other possible scenario you could possibly think of
~ Having my suitemates pound on my wall when they need to ask me something
~ When Mandi and I sing at the top of our lungs while showering to songs my suitemates have requested
~ Falling alseep to John Legend on the iHome
~ Meeting everyone at the microwaves for lunch/dinner dates since we live in the heights and ALL of our friends live in the courts ; )
~ Exchanging "life plans for the day" with Mandi
~ RAWR-ing ; )
~ Fat kid Friday night meals in the Hill
~ Justifying eating said fat kid Friday night meals in the Hill
~ Sunday brunch... enough said
~ Listening to Mandi tell a 30-word story in 400 cause she always thinks of additional stories to add in, or feels the need to explain everything leading up to the actual incident
~ Having a doubly large shoe, clothes, purse, and accessory collection
~ No Friday classes : )
~ Fishie movie time
~ Scaring the crap out of Mandi after we watch a scary movie and creepily quoting movie lines in a whispered tone throughout the night
~ Fishie pillow talk every night
~ Planning spring break and cape week and giggling with excitement throughout the process
~ Convincing Mandi she should clean the room because she likes to clean and is so good at it and why would I want to take that away from her?
~ Not really being on my own and being able to call my parents in tears when I freak out about future life plans : )
~ Living with my friends 24/7... it's the best!


And there you have it. I love college, I love Stonehill and I'm going to miss this SO MUCH. Here are some awesome group shots of some of my favorite people in the world :)


This was Spring Weekend last year-- all the girls at our little barbeque. The guys decided they want to grill, and we were obviously ALL for it!

So Mandi's birthday is March 8... we celebrated her birthday over spring break in the Dominican but she didn't get to have a Stonehill birthday because she got injured playing rugby and was on crutches. So later in April, we threw her a belated 21st birthday party one night :) This was taken right after she walked in the door and everyone yelled surprise!

Photos like this are what I'm going to miss... I have no clue what weekend this was, but it captures everything I love: my friends!

Senior Convocation, taken this fall, all of us sporting our lovely senior Stonehill pins ; )

Oh the craziness that is my suite... I think this was Lindsay's birthday this fall? All I know was we were all out there at midnight eating cake out of the big white box loving life :)
