Getting settled.
I am officially moved in! And finished my first week of work! This was a tough two weeks but it was a successful move and I am very happy where I am. To be honest, I wouldn’t have been able to do this if it wasn’t for my friends and family.
At first the move was a little stressful and I may have been a little sensitive but thankfully my parents were very patient and really helped me. It...

Apartment approval
You know how in the movies people have these trendy, cute apartments that look almost effortless? Well not only is that mucho expensive and hard to find but the movies are leaving a few things out, as usual.
So now that I quit my old job, accepted my new job and am moving to Harrisburg all in one week, that whole process you missed in the movies is happening in fast forward.
I went apartment...

How do you know if you are making the right...
Do you know that one decision can change the direction your career path will take? I feel like people just kind of shrug it off and say “you’ll have so many opportunities” or “something great will come along.” But how do you know when it is that something great? Do you make the jump?
Ever since I have graduated I have been applying everywhere in order to get my...

Very confused
I am not sure how to deal with a few series of events lately. I think I am starting to get a little overwhelmed so before I let it get the best of me I figured I should address them. Now I’m not going to post all my issues/concerns for the whole world to read because, let’s be real that’ll create more drama for myself. Instead I am going to publish a few helpful “observations.”
1. Friends are...

Olympic shape
Im not sure what it is but it’s something about the Olympics that gets me motivated to get back in shape. I was watching all these amazing gymnasts tonight and I miss being one and especially being in sick shape. So now that I got into running its time to go a step further. I think i am going to do the tough mudder in October. Although I don’t think I am in good enough shape right now...

Positive changes
Upon becoming a real person, I thought it was a good idea to make some real changes. First, that I get myself into a routine of going to bed at a decent hour and waking up with plenty of time to get ready. And, Second, start getting into running. I honestly do not have the time anymore to work out for more than an hour a day (although that wasn’t very consistent in college but anyway) so I...
Real life part one
I know I haven’t posted in forever but at least I have a good excuse. I have finally become a real person. I started working for Enterprise rent-a-car almost two weeks ago. It’s not exactly what I had in mind when I pictured my future post graduation but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. I work with great people and it is so close to home which is great. I know everyone...

I have been procrastinating so much with studying for this final it is unreal. I prepared myself too well to leave college. I was so scared I was not going to graduate that I took an extra 2 classes just to make sure. And now, I wish I was failing all of them. Except I am far from it.
I think the scariest part about leaving is that I have no idea what the next few months will bring. Previous...
love this song.
On my way.
My college career ends in less than a week. Woof. I am so scared. I have one final that separates me from real life. Sadly, I don’t even know where I will be going. As of right now, I am moving home to Brooklyn but if my job interview goes well for another company in Philly then I will be moving there. Crazy. I denied my first job offer a few days ago because they didn’t offer me...

The final countdown
I have only 3 days left of classes and less than two weeks to graduation, I think. I am trying not to keep count but it has been so difficult to ignore.
This week I am going to finish all my final assignments of my college career and move on to “bigger and better things.” Personally, it drives me nuts when people say that because they cant foretell the future and honestly things are...
Real life in a month?
WOAH I am graduating in exactly a month and two days. Where did the time go? But I have bigger issues- the job search. I am exhausted from all the interviews i had over break but I am excited because my last interview in Jersey on Friday went awesome!!!! I got a second interview within five minutes and the job is absolutely perfect. Marketing for well known teams, companies and brands also an...
Interview results
Im so glad everyone is enjoying their break while l am running from interview to interview. I’m exhausted. I had two interviews in the past two days and they went extremely well but I just want this process to be over already. I am so tired. I am pretty sure I got the position because when I left they sad they were putting me through my final interview tomorrow hopefully and then asked if I...
Last, Bittersweet Break
Breaks from school are so bittersweet, especially since this is my last one. I am packing up all my winter clothing and shoes to take home and now my room just looks EMPTY. Definitely not a good feeling. I am also starting to get scared of my freshman year of real life. More pressure now than ever and on top of it, I have my follow-up interview tomorrow. WOOF.
Time to get prepared and get...

Hunger Games Critique
My birthday getaway plans fell through because I had a few sorority obligations that kept me here so instead I went to see the Hunger Games on thursday night with my roommates. I have to be honest it was not that great. Especially after readong 2 of the 3 books, I was not impressed whatsoever. It just didnt make sense and was difficult to follow because I felt like you were side swiped when they...

Birthday plans
Sooo next week is my birthday and I am trying to figure out what to do. I need to get out of York obviously because I have spent my past 3 birthdays here and although I had fun, I need a change of scenery.
I am planning on going some place completely different but I am not sure where. Here are some of my options but I am totally up for suggestions:
1. Philly/Manayunk
2. Baltimore/Fed Hill...

Follow up Interview
Ok so first phone interview did not go as smooth as I would have hoped. Once I answered the phone and said hello, we immediately got disconnected and then my phone reset itself. And everyone knows that when you have a Blackberry the reset will take like 10 long minutes so by the time I was able to call her back I missed my interview. THANK GOD this last was understanding of my blackberry dilemma...
Phone Interview
So I have a phone interview in a minute and I am kind of freaking out. I think they are soooo awkward. How are you supposed to be personable on the phone? And many interviewers pay attention to body language and facial expressions especially when it comes to an interview for a sales position. WOOF
UGH. Anyone have any advice.? I am so awkward on the phone in general I feel like there is no hope....
IDEELI crazy
I am absolutely obsessed with this website called Ideeli. It sells designer merchandise for hundreds less. And now that my tax check is burning a whole in my pocket I am going crazy.
Everyone needs to look at this website. Every day you get an email of the designers the site is featuring but the only problem is there is a 24 hr time limit. I honestly dont care if I can buy a pair of Etienne...

Best Dressed in my Book is....
MICHELLE WILLIAMS! She was featured on the red carpet at the Oscars in a tiered bright red dress by Louis Vuitton. Designer not only knows how to make gorgeous bags that dress is to die for. The open back is stunning and the strapless cut was a good choice to accent her features and hair style. Fashion Police said that Angelina Jolie was going to be best dressed but I beg to differ. Michelle...
freshman year of real life
Soo I am currently a graduating senior at YCP and waited 4 years to find out I still have no idea what I am going to do in life. awesome.
I have always had future ideas in my head. Immediately get a PR job out of college, work in the student activities office at a college, maybe get my masters.. And well the ideas are great and I love the options but I need something concrete.
I have been...
Self-Esteem or Self-Detriment?
Just watching TLC with my roommates and we came across the show My 600lb. Life and I can honestly say that I am 1. grossed out and 2. scared to death of ever becoming like that.
I am in a marketing class called Consumer Behavior and I had this case study for homework that said 62% of American women are plus size (sizes 14 and up). Now I am not saying that plus size is a bad thing because I think...
backwards safety..
So i heard that while that party got busted last weekend, someone got robbed at gun point down jackson and it took the cops a half hour to respond… SERIOUS PROBLEM
Not to be rude but I think the cops need to concentrate more on things like robberies and muggings rather than some college kids trying to enjoy the betters years of their life.
It is just ridiculous. And I understand that the...
Sorority Withdrawals
Recruitment is finally over and THANK GOD because I am so happy to be in ALPHA SIGMA TAU! I have been dying to say that since I came back in January. I had no problem being unbiased during recruitment but the silence was killing me. So glad that is over but….
Recruitment went so great! Congratulations to all 6 of the NPC Chapters on their new members! Bid Party was such a surprise. It was...
Recruitment Update
Recruitment is almost over and the nerves are kicking in. I loved being a recruitment buddy. Watching the girls come back from visiting different sororities was such a different experience than what I am used to.
The whole process was so cool to watch. All the girls looked so nervous but I want to make a point to say, trust your gut feeling. Today, they filled out their contracts binding them to...
Wait Weight!
In my classes I have been learning a lot about how exercise can dramatically improve your quality of life. And do not get me wrong, I am active, well I was. My gym attendance has decreased a lot but I still make sure I am walking places and well I babysit so chasing around kids for about 15 hours a week is my exercise at this point.
Although, that is no excuse. I definitely still have time for...

Pinterest Procrastination
So I think i have decided that the parade is just a no go for me. I realized that my priorities need to be geared towards school. AND it will be a little pathetic and irresponsible if i dont show up for the 1 of 2 days I have to be in school. So unfortunately I will miss the parade but I trust that this wont be the last parade for my Giants. BUT now that I decided I am not going why can I not...
Perfect Attendance or Parade?
The NEW YORK GIANTS have won Super Bowl XLVI against the Patriots and I am ecstatic! But it brings up a very important question. Who is going to the Giants parade in New York City tomorrow?
I am dying to go but should I really miss my only day of classes during the week? Decisions, decisions. I love the Giants and I also love my hometown of NYC. On the other hand, I also would like to get...
Sorority Recruitment
When I was applying to college, the farthest thing from my mind was joining a sorority. There was always a stereotype in my mind linked to that group— blonde, skinny, and sort of dumb. Well THANK GOD that is not entirely true. Of course some girls are blonde in greek life, that’s a given, but all the girls that I have met throughout my 3 greek years have been intelligent, beautiful...

Applying to END the best Years of Your Life?
One word- WOOF.
Who would do such a terrible thing? Oh wait that’s me.
It sounds absolutely awful. And yet, I have to do it by February 6th. Once I do it, the countdown suddenly begins. I will have my last semester at YCP before my freshman year of real life. Funny to think that you thought you would be in school forever and then it ends with a blink of an eye. Well this is a bittersweet...
the bucket list
First snow fall in York. I was so happy. I have been waiting for it to feel like winter. And thanks to my roommate Blair, my friends and I went sledding on the hill across from campus today. My legs were killing me and I was definitely out of breath by the time we finally got up there, but it was so worth it. We used our sorority card board boat that we made for the boat regatta at Spartapalooza....

first week of the finale
Week one is down. It was semi stressful. I dont know what it is, the drop add period always gets me. I feel like their is pressure to look for better class when I am already in pretty good ones. This semester I am taking it easy like an elder. All gerontology courses that is. Pretty excited to be honest. I love learning about old people and the behavioral science department. Everyone is just so...
