Thank You For All the Memories, 2016

October 2016 through December 2016. Part 3 of 3 representing one of the best years of my life.

October 10

This day was a beautiful day, it held promise of laughter and adventure. We took off into the woods and found paths we didn't even know existed. We laughed, we told stories, and we all took photographs to capture the beauty of fall.

October 19

On this day I got into an awful fight with someone I really love. To patch up the pieces, Jordan and I took on Portsmouth, NH and explored all of its offerings. We laughed, we drank Starbucks, and he helped my heart heal.

October 30

On this day we celebrated Halloween. We pulled costumes together and we went out, Jade kept apologizing for plans falling through and having to party hop. Little did she know I didn't mind at all and I was truly having so much fun. Happy Halloween!


November 6

On this day, Jordan and I decided to have ourselves a day. We were off to the races once we got the idea to go out to a nice dinner without going home to change. We went to the outlets and we bought all sorts of clothes. Personally I bought a new vest from J-Crew and Tommy Hilfiger pants, it was a successful shopping trip, successful dinner, and a successful day.

November 7

On November 7, 2016 I was given a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear Barack Obama speak at my school. We woke up nice and early, got in line, made some friends in line, then had the opportunity to listen to his inspirational speech and advocacy for Hilary Clinton. November 7 is a day I will never forget. (I also got to meet Ezra from Pretty Little Liars, which not gonna lie was pretty cool)

November 12

On this day I got to see my best friend play collegiate Hockey for Sacred Heart University. While I'm so so so sad she transferred seeing her on the ice reminded me how proud I am of her and that two separate schools does not me two separate lives for us.

December 2

On this day I got to spend the day with Elise, and for no reason at all we had so much fun that day just doing nothing. I'm frowning in the featured picture because December 2 was also the day I got all of my online shopping done for Christmas, therefore draining my bank account. Later that night, I went to Merrimack to watch some of my best friends play ice hockey with one of my best friends from home. I laughed a lot I smiled a lot and that made December 2 a good day.


December 25

Christmas was a day of family and laughter. I had an amazing Christmas, especially when I had the opportunity to see my family opening and enjoying their presents I thoughtfully picked out for them. I am so happy with the outcome of this Holiday. Unfortunately, the only proof of the fun we had is my siblings yelling about Settlers of Catan, and safe to say it is R rated and not appropriate for this blog.

December 31

And of course what better day to ring in the new year besides a work shift that kept me and hour and a half later than planned and almost made me miss my New Years kiss. Thankfully I got there just in time, and couldn't be happier. So happy I got to celebrate New Years Eve with amazing people by my side. xoxox bye 2016, hello 2017

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
