lucky.

i was terrified to come to college. it was the biggest change i've ever experienced. 

well freshman year is coming to an end, and i couldn't have asked for anything better.

from wolverine to halloween to nickelcade to BFT, 

i made the best friends from all over the country. 

fate brought us together and regardless of what separates us, whenever we are reunited nothing changes. 

it breaks my heart to think of spending all summer without these beauties.

 but then i remember that i get to go home to them. 

i am so blessed to have friends all over the country.

skype, facebook, twitter..the internet is the greatest thing ever invented. 

i feel like i hardly miss out on anything even when i live 3,000 miles away. 

and i still have so much to look forward to.

this lovely lady is returning from india and we will finally get to live our dream as roomies in the fall. 

i am so lucky. 

there is always someone who understands me. 

there is always someone to make me laugh or play with my hair or bake cookies with me.

but lets be real. these are the greatest friends i could ever ask for. 

and anywhere i go, they'll be there.

thank you for being scattered all over the world. 

and after all these years..

i finally understand. now unlike kristan, i try not to blog about diet coke (i blog about my obsession with cookies instead), but this time i'm giving in. last week i had three tests and i had yet to get around to studying for any of them (shocking i know). well my dearest friend melissa decided i needed to be dragged to the library. the long walk back up to campus at night time was just not sitting well with me. but then... she bribed me. with this: a large diet coke.

now i've been reading for years about kristan's struggles with a caffeine-free campus and her constant need for diet coke (hiding cans in lockers, etc.) and now i can finally relate. so funny watching melissa freak out as she hid it under her jacket so we could sneak it past the rent-a-cop sercurity guards (who take their job way too seriously by the way) and into the library. let me just say the whole 5th floor was jealous. well kristan, it's official. i win. and i'm turning into you. 

apparently all it takes is a large diet coke and i'm wherever you want me to be. 

never say never.

i went. finally.

i dragged caisa along. kristan came willingly.

we all loved it.

and have even more reasons to love j biebs:

1. he wanted to be a crossing guard when he grew up.

2. he eats moes.

3. he has his very own segway. 

i am in love. 

and so is caisa. proof:

sam: "what should i draw? it has to be small..tiny"

caisa: "tiny bedazzled rubix cube."

time 428 she brought him up today. she is in love too.

i couldn't be happier. 

new project.

lately i've found that i have an obsession for elephants.

then i found this from urban. 

i refuse to spend $30 on it so im going to re-create it on my own.

we'll see how this turns out.

maybe i'll even show you. maybe.
