Liberty.

My mother told me at the beginning of the year that her sophomore year of college was the worst out of the 4 years.
I freaked out.
I made myself miserable the first two weeks of school thinking about it.
BUT.
I let go.
I settled in.
And I had the BEST 4 MONTHS of my life.
I would write about it,
But I think pictures can describe it more.
Plus, I really don't want to cry when I think about it.
So buckle up.
Here come the pictures.

10,000,000 pictures later...
Thank you Liberty Square.
I'm forever in your debt.

14 days until LONDON.

Pick-Me-Up.

I feel as though all of us need a little bit of Finals cheer.
And a few pick-me-up's.

I stole this off of my friend Maddie's Facebook (she's a gem. She's heading to Jerusalem in the Winter too. Travel buddies for life). This one is for the LAD-IES! (awkward Baby Mama reference).

 "If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads." - Rosemarie Urquico

And another, from my good friend Lauren (again, a gem. She's going to be the first female president and she's Jerusalem bound in the spring/summer! Travel buddies are the best).

"Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."- A.A. Milne

And one from good old John....

"I've got dreams, got dreams to remember....I've got dreams to remember, to remember...oh gravity."- John Mayer "Gravity: Live in Los Angeles."

4 finals, 
10 days in P-Town,
And 24 days until London receives their newest resident.

Roommates.

Seriously,
Last night was one of the best nights of my life.
I've never laughed so hard up here at college.
True laughs,
Seizure convulsions,
The HAT,
And of course, these lovely snapshots....
Just demonstrate why I love these ladies more than life.
I have THE BEST roommates.
Hopefully you'll laugh as hard as we did.
Cheers.

29 days, homies.
