It is only the third week of school, and already I'm putting off my work.
Not really. Maybe kind of. But there are some really important things in life that must be done. Like watching my beloved Ravens on MNF with my best friend/roommate. As well as persuading her to create a blog. Because that is what the world truly needs, another blog, especially one from my best friend who is quite honestly one of the funniest people I've ever met, and I'm not just saying that because I'm biased. We have this plan to party with Chelsea Handler; I'm not quite sure what that has to do with best friend being funny, but its a solid plan.
So world, I'm sorry to report that life has been fairly boring. Just school, being an undercover sorority ninja, and the new boy. The end.
Luckily, only 11 very short days until I can publicly be friends with my sisterssss!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
L'Shana Tova!!!!
Happy Jewish New Year to all of you out there! As you all should know by now, I'm well on my way to becoming Jewish, and today marks the new year, the year in which I'm determined to make my official conversion. And since its a new year, I'm going to do what you're supposed to do, make resolutions. So here we go:
And obviously the most important thing to do this year, become a real Jew.

- Go to the gym more
- Make Dean's List
- Stop biting my nails
- Do everything 110%

Oh the be young and in like..
I feel like I'm always apologizing for never writing, but once again I must say I'm sorry. I really thought once I was back at school I would be able to write all the time, and I would have things to write about too. And this assumption was very true with the latter, but I have not had the time to even stop and breathe, let alone blog.
As this is the beginning of yet another school year I find myself meeting all kinds of new people. Specifically, lovely young men. More specifically, one particular lovely young man. I won't go into detail because you never want to jinx things, but this has been one fabulous week, and I'm so excited.
But in other news, there are now only 19 days until I can publicly acknowledge and be a part of my sorority again. And I'm seriously counting down the minutes until then. Just to let you all know, I'm participating in sorority recruitment not as a member of my organization but as a Rho Gamma, which means I assist the potential new members go through recruitment and make the decision that is best for them. And a major part of that is the the potential new members cannot know what organization the Rho Gammas are in until they accept their bids. SOOO if any girl is out there thinking about going out for sorority recruitment I would say absolutely try it, it is the experience of a lifetime, and even if you find out its not for you, you can at least say you tried, and that is what's important!

Words from the top bunk....
I hope this finds you all well and getting comfy at school.
Today was the first day of classes, and I must say I'm even more excited now for this year than I was before (if that's possible). Since I am now officially a college junior (where does the time go?!?!?!) most of my classes are either political science or religion, which are my two majors for those curious minds out there.
Also, I am in the final stages of getting situated in my new home in my sorority house. SO be on the lookout for pictures of my cute, little, cozy room :)

Back to School Exclusive: Part 2!
I know you have all been on the edge of your seat waiting to find out exactly what I would get to make the trip back to the homeland. Well you have to wait no more because here it is....
First there is this beauty. I love being super organized and being on top of everything. And this year I will be super busy with school, sorority, my job (Did I mention I got a fabulousssss job as a nanny at school??), and my obviously popping social life. Queue the crickets. I got the Mini Agenda from Lilly, and I adore it, its the perfect size for both my school bag and purse, because you never know when you are going to need to jot things down.
Probably the most important purchase for school. Period. I don't know about everyone else, but it seems to rain more now that I'm in college and have to walk everywhere than it ever did when I got to drive to school. I had an adorable pair of Sperry's rain boots, but after just two years, my beautiful boots have had it. I love these new ones because they are plaid, with just a hint of color, which is incredibly similar to my first pair.
But since it is my third year at school (ahhh!! where does time go???) I didn't have to get anything really fun. I have all of my bedding and stuff, which is now well broken in and oh so comfy! But I did get cute clothes, lots of the basics which would bore everyone to put pictures of 6 different colored v-necks.
So now just 39 hours until its time to return to the City of Brotherly Lovee!!

Back to School Exclusive: Part 1
Does anyone else remember the Staples commercial where it was the dad with the shopping cart frolicing through Staples and "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" song was playing in the background, and the kids looked miserable because they were school shopping?
No? Only me? Hmm...well I digress
Its back to school season, which really is the most wonderful time of the year in my opinion. I've always been that weird kid that doesn't really like summer, and would spend all my free time reading and doing schoolish stuff. And now the time has come to pack up and move on back to school.
In this first edition of my epic journey of preparing for the start of a glorious new school year I will share my family traditions for this time of year.
First, we must begin with my sister's birthday, which was yesterday. We obviously always do something she wants because its her birthday. That seems self-explanitory. So now we go to this psychic/tarot card reader. I know people think its a scam or hoax, but at the same time its fun and you should always know to not take it 100% seriously. Sidenote--Garnet Rose (that's the psychic's name) said I was going to meet two men this year and one is named Jeff, and Jeff will be studying something in the medical field. So now I'm on the look out :)
Second, in my household we have our epic Target adventure to buy everything, and more, for school. Well this year, it truly was epic. Since I am starting my junior year at the lovely Temple University, I'm basically all set with room supplies and linens and all that fun stuff. But Baby Sister is going off to her first year of college (oh how they grow up so fast), and so our Target adventure involved a whole TWO CARTS. Which let me tell you, at Christmas time I always think those people with the two carts filled with toys look absolutely ridiculous. But now that I was one of those people I see it is obviously because everything sold at Target is either huge, too cute to pass up, or you need 4 of them to survive. So while I went into this Target trip only needing actual school supplies, I came out of it with a dress or two, cardigans, and v-neck galore.
Our third and final tradition is our last night dinner. This is a fairly new tradition as we started it the year I went off to school. All it is is that we have a homemade dinner together at home for our last night together as a family. This year will be especially important because it will be the last time that Baby Sister and I will be home together until Thanksgiving!! And my Mommy Dearest will be in her empty nest :( But she will be fine because she has Step Daddyo and her lovely lovely friends.
On our next edition I will share all my lovely things I've gotten for this upcoming year.

Thats why they call them crushes..
Molly Ringwald movies..oh how you know the pains of being a teenage girl.
I must begin this post by saying that I try my hardest to be a positive person. And I try to reflect that lifestyle choice in my blog. But sometimes it just gets hard...
At 19 years old, I find myself in a very difficult place. I was lucky enough when I was a little younger to find an incredible guy who I loved dearly. But we were young, and strong willed, and I wasn't willing to give up my dreams to be with him. Now about a year and a half after the demise of my two year relationship, I am so unlucky with love.
Since being at school I have had my fair share of boys, flings, crushes, etc, but nothing to show for it. And my most recent crush, well lets say finding out they have a girlfriend on facebook, after 4 long months of friendship and more, well that just hurts. But I do have to say, I have made some great friends, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. And sometimes you just have to learn for the broken hearts and missed connections.
I don't really know where I am going with this, but I do know that I'm over the way everything has been going. So when I return to school in a short 13 days, I will be my happy positive self, and always be on the look out for my next crush.
