a day of celebration!

As I sit in my Nutritional Sciences class it brings me back to my freshman year of college. Why, you ask? In my last ditch efforts to graduate in four not-so-short years, the only requirements I need aside from my capstone courses are: general electives. Not even upper-level.

What does this mean?

It means classes like this one. 1000 Level Nutritional Sciences. Middlebush Hall. 400 students. No, the professor will never know my name and every one in here, aside from myself and my trusty sidekick Grace, looks like they are steps away from having a mental breakdown (i.e. freshman).

This is reason enough to celebrate -- I am three and a half years into my college career, nearing my finish (and losing steam...is it May?) and I am taking a freshman level course. Helloooo, senioritis.

HOWEVER, today is a precious day for TWO reasons.

Number one ... It is Julie Axelrad's 22nd birthday. To one of my very first friends from the very first day of Kindergarten, we have spent some of the best years together and I look very forward to 22 more. Happy birthday pretty girl; have the best day ever. You deserve every one of your wildest wishes to come true.



And number two, (however, no less important or exciting!!) today is Jackie's first day of her career as intern extraordinaire at Teen Vogue.

To two of my oldest, closest and dearest friends: have beautiful, exciting days because you are beautiful and exciting girls. Thank you for being my friends and bringing your exuberant, breathtaking selves into my life.
