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

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
