In no particular order, here is a list of 16 things that came into my life in 2016, and I never want them to leave!
1. Ghana (obviously)
I have been saying, "2016 was kind of boring. Except I went to Ghana.. that was cool." How could I not consider Ghana to be the most amazing thing that happened in 2016, if not my life! Traveling to Ghana for 3 weeks this summer brought me new friends, lifestyle changes, and eye opening memories. In case you have no heard me talk enough about Ghana, here is a link to my articles about the trip.
2. Devon and Holly
2016 brought me a new roommate, and two of the most adorable, kind hearted, hilarious, and care free best friends a girl could ask for. Straight from Downingtown PA, these two lovely ladies randomly walked into my life, and I am incredibly thankful.
Enter as strangers, leave as friends.
3. My white Converse
Classic, comfortable.
4. Dages
UDage? We do. At The University of Delaware, Day parties are all the rage. Dressing up fancy, and walking the town in cardigan sweaters and boots with your friends is the best way to spend a Saturday.
5. Albi
Albi is my best friend Sam's great friend from school. He is from Brazil and was studying in Boston. Last year he was a senior, and Sam was lucky enough to meet him. He his funny, sweet, and a great friend to Sam. She is currently visiting him in Brazil! I was so lucky to meet him last summer. He has a personality that makes you friends off the bat.
6. Mangos
I used to hate them, but after going to Ghana, I now eat them all the time!
7. My Pihpi Angels
This year I became a member of the founding class of Pi Beta Phi at UD. Getting the opportunity to develop the chapter alongside some lifelong friends has been a great opportunity and I am so excited to see what's to come! (Can you spot me?)
8. Insomnia Cookies
\
I have the best job in the world as an Insomnia Cookie's marketing rep. I get to give out free cookies all the time. And the cookies, always warm and gooey, are ADDICTING. Over winter break, my co-rep, Tiffany, and me have been going through withdraw. Insomnia cookies are amazing.
9. My Bean Boots
10. My friends' dogs
Since I don't have my own I like to just give all my love to other people's dogs. Two of my good friends at home just got puppies so thats amazing. I like to just pretend they're all mine. I can't wait to get my own dog someday!
11. Snap Pizza
The new customizable pizza place in Newark is GOD-LY. I always get the same thing because I get too scared to try something new. But there are millions of options and combos to choose from and, in my opinion, its the first quality pizza in Newark.
12. New Music Fridays
13. Prynt
Prynt is a super cool polaroid phone case that allows you to print polaroids from your phone. I was able to try it out for the company last summer and its a fun way to remember good times!
14. House, Jane, and Stranger Things
Three very different shows, but all a favorite. I finally finished the show House that I have been working on forever. If you like shows about diseases or anything medical you should watch. I liked the ending and i recommend! Jane the Virgin, a show about a girl who gets artificially inseminated is a hilarious show with lots of drama to keep you on edge. It's based like a telenovela. Stranger Things is a Sci-Fi Netflix show that has a second season coming out in January. Spooky, but makes you think.
15. GamePigeon
I am painfully addicted to the GamePigeon games on iPhone. My personal fave is word hunt but I don't discriminate. If you ever challenge me I will answer immediately because I have no life and it is so addicting.
16. All the friends who have been there along the way :)
Not much to say about this one... you know who you are :)
