New Year's Eve!

So it's been quite a while again. I don't know why I am so bad at updating this thing when I check my other sites a million times a day. Oh well...

The semester ended 2 weeks ago, and it did not end very well. But what can you do? I will just have to work twice as hard this semester. I'm looking into internships in New York and New Jersey, so my gpa needs to be kicked up a little bit...I can do it though.

I celebrated my 21st birthday with some friends a couple of weeks ago. 5 of us girls went to Mojo's downtown, where my roommates Nicole and Victoria told them it was my birthday, so they made me sit on the pianos and the whole bar sang to me. Embarrasing but fun. The next night I had a celebration with my friends who aren't 21, and Alicia even came down from Ferris for the night to hang out, which made me really happy. I never expected her to come all the way down for a few hours just for my birthday. We went to the Main Street Pub in Allendale.

Christmas with the family proved to be rather stressful, but fun overall. I did all of my shopping at the very last minute, but it ended up working out. We fondued on Christmas eve, and all my clothes still smell like greasy food, even after washing them twice. On Christmas day, we saw Four Christmases together, which was hilarious. Vince Vaughn is one of my favorite actors.

Well I guess that takes us up to today, which is New Year's Eve. I will be hosting a small party at my house for my friends and I. I might be driving downtown to see the festivities and the ball drop, but it depends. I'm not sure if I will feel like being in the crowds much...but we'll see. I heard drinks got more expensive for today, which is another reason I need to learn how to not be such a last-minute person...ughh. I'm working on it.

I just added a music player thing, so enjoy some of my favorite music!

Well I guess that is all for now. Pictures to come.

Everyone enjoy your New Year and be safe!!

Thanks Amber for the comment! :)

Updates!

So it's been quite a while since I was on here...

I am now a single woman. It's very weird after three years to think of myself as single. And a little scary. But it will be okay. I will get through this, and I'm definitely going to enjoy some alone time, and take a while away from the dating world to find myself, and maybe catch up with some old friends and stuff. I'm looking forward to the next few months.

It's also nearing the end of the semester. I have 2 more days of classes, and then exams next week. I'm really nervous for exams. I think they are going to be rough this semester. This whole semester has been pretty rough. But it's almost done, so that's a good thing.

Thanksgiving weekend was a lot of fun.

Thanksgiving day my mom and I went shopping early in the morning. We left at 6, and picked up some stuff for Christmas. Then we went home and took a nap before church. After church, my family played a game for a while and then headed off to my uncle Don's house. We ate an awesome dinner and then played some cards. It was a fun day.

Friday my mom and I went shopping again. I picked out my birthday present, so that was kind of fun. I'm getting a vacuum cleaner and a coat. Haha.

Speaking of my birthday, that's next week wednesday! I'll be turning 21! We'll be at Mojo's downtown. Hopefully it's a lot of fun. I'm so excited.

Well, that's all for now. The network is back up at work so I should probably get back to that.

Later!

New Place

Now that I've lived here for 2 months, here are some pics of my new apartment. :)
The Kitchen, view from the top of the stairs. It's never this clean. lol.
The stairs...with the laundry "room" (closet) at the bottom. Victoria and Lauren's rooms are also down there.

Living room, view from the front door. Very girly. ;)

My bedroom, view from my bathroom door.

My bathroom. :)

Here is my room, which is on the upper floor with Nicole's room, view from the door: (And yes, it is usually this clean. ;) seriously.)

So there is where I am living. Go ahead and be jealous! ;) Just kidding. But I love it. A lot.

Life

So things have been pretty crazy.

I finally moved out Saturday, which was a ton of work, and I am already dreading doing it next fall, when I have to go to a new place. I also have no idea where that will be. But it's a whole year away. So I'm not going to worry about it. Hopefully I will be in New York then.

Anyways, we are going to the Unity concert tonight and tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to that. This day couldn't go any slower though. I just want it to be 7:50, when Skillet comes on. :)

That's all for now. Later.

3rd Anniversary!!

So Sunday me and Kyle celebrated our three year anniversary!

We went Kayaking down the channel and found a little waterfall. It was so awesome! The channel got so shallow our kayak was beached, so we anchored it with the paddles and went walking through the nasty muck because we could hear a waterfall. After walking about five minutes we found it! And it was so pretty! And there was a house by it, and I decided I wanted to buy it. haha.

So our kayaking excursion lasted 2 hours. Then we went to The Brown Bear, where my parents bought us dinner for Kyle's birthday. And I gave him the tickets to Unity.

Monday, our actual anniversary, we went out to eat at Red Lobster! It was so delicious. Except for we got an appetizer, the lobster pizza, and then neither of us could eat our actual meals. So I had a pretty awesome lunch on tuesday of salmon, mashed potatoes, and a biscuit. After we ate on Monday, we hung out and watched Vantage Point, one of the best movies of all time.

Total change of topic...

I dropped off a carload of stuff last night at the apartment! I was so excited. The room is so big, and I looked at the closet, and it's even bigger than I thought!!! It's so HUGE! :)

I can't wait to actually move in.

Well that's all for now. Later!

3 Years!

So this weekend is Me and Kyle's 3rd "anniversary." We are still not sure how to celebrate it though. It's actually Monday the 21st but we are planning on celebrating on Sunday. Sofar the plan is we are going to Ludington to spend the day shopping and sightseeing and such. And hopefully we find a nice resaurant for a romantic dinner. ;) Last year we did a dinner at Red Lobster and then the beach, and then the following weekend we went to Michigan's Adventure. So we don't want to do the same thing again. And we are on a pretty tight budget.

So...any ideas for the anniversary let me know.

That's all for now.

Welcome to My Life (or lack therof.)

So I recently decided that I needed something ELSE to do in my free time...or the time I use to avoid responsibilities such as work and homework...So I created a blog. I will be giving you a glimpse into the daily adventures that are my life.

Lucky you.

So I am a 20-year-old Junior at GVSU, where I am studying Accounting and Spanish. I graduated from Hudsonville in 2006, and I am so glad to be out, but miss the simplicity. I am working for Grand Valley University Development. It's a boring job, but it pays the bills.

My parents have a place on Silver Lake, which I try to spend every weekend at through the summer. Silver Lake is definitely my favorite place to be in the world. However, lately the fun has been diminishing up there, as our boat broke and there isn't anyone my age to hang out with. So that's kind of lame. But I still like it a lot.

My Freshman year, 2 friends and I visited another friend in New York City. I fell in love with it, and now am looking into Internships out there. I am hoping to work for Disney out there, but we will see what's going on. At this point, I don't care if I am somebody's personal secretary or something, I just want to live in the City for a while. My dream job is with Disney though.

I have been dating my awesome boyfriend Kyle for 3 years (our anniversary is July 21 :) ). We are planning on eventually getting married. But not for another 2 1/2 or 3 years. I want to be done with school first.

So that is me in a nutshell. Pretty boring, I know. But maybe it will get better. ;)
