It’s Almost Done
So this is my last Thursday At Medaille 
I sit here and reflect on my past 4 years…..wow what a wild ride. The countless classes, tests, exams, assignments, stacks of books read, relationships formed, and all the knowledge ( same used more than others). I still don’t think that it’s hit me yet that graduation is right around the corner. I know it will be an emotional time for me because I’m the last of 4 children to graduate from college ( my parents also did a little dance when they signed the last tuition check). For those of you that will be there…my family will be the loudest people in the whole place when I walk across that stage.
I sit and wonder though if I’m really ready for the next step. For some of us it will be entering the work force & for some it will be to continue our education in grad school. While the progression in imminent, who is ever really ready for all that life has to throw at us? Some of us will undoubtedly cling to our youth as long as we can and for others we will just be launched into full fledged adulthood and all that it comes with.
I say to all of us….SEIZE THE DAY!!! These are the best years of our lives (high school smich school). Let’s live it up!!! Embrace what we have today and live for what tomorrow may bring to us. Don’t be scared of the unknown……take on the challenges and show the world what you’re made of. Don’t be afraid to fail some times, in life it’s inevitable, but pick your self up, brush it off, and keep charging up the mountain of life….It’s an adventure. And if you ever remember one thing…..don’t sweat the small things in life cause no one ever gets out alive!!!

HHHMMMM
So the weather is so beautiful in Buffalo right now & it makes me realize what I’m going to miss about Buffalo once I’m gone….
I know that no matter where I am I will always support my Sabres & Bills. It will be nice down there because my 2 older brothers do bills sunday funday at a local pub. I believe this includes dancing on bar stools and shots when they score…but that could all just be a rumor hahahahaha
I will miss the fan support for the Buffalo Sabres….and don’t be surprised if I show up on the jumbo tron showing all the city how Sabres love spans the continent.
I will miss the snow & how a week later it will be 80. The changing of the seasons is always some thing to look forward to. The end of summer and into early fall has always been my favorite season. I will miss the snow days, the winter weather advisories, the lake effect snow bans, ellicottville, jet skiing on the Niagara, thursday in the square & eating any where with a patio.
I know I will miss my home town but who ever said you can’t come back? I plan on coming home to visit my family both my parents & my extended family. But moving down south will allow for me to solidify the relationships I have with my siblings & nephews.
I will miss you Buffalo but Charleston will defiantly be a welcomed new adventure!!!

10 commandments of fashion
Out & About this week in the beautiful weather here in Buffalo…I’ve noticed some fashion mistakes that are so obvious that it makes me wonder if there is a mirror around people when they get dressed.
Come on ladies……we all know that open toed shoes with tights/stockings is NOT allowed. This is what was previously known as camel toe!
Then there is the 2nd most important commandment…..white…..which includes pants, shoes, shorts, capri’s & any other clothing item…………
ONLY ALLOWED BETWEEN MEMORIAL DAY & LABOR DAY!!!
Just having a little rant here. I know the weather is beautiful but that is no excuse for bad fashion. I may not always look put together ( perfect example is today…..not feeling so hott so I’m just rockin the hoodie, capri sweat pants, hair up and minimal makeup) but I still follow the rules ladies generations before us have set.
Bring out your inner fashionista but please….remember the basic rules

Please Help Me Understand
WOW!!! So this is America’s youth? This morning while I was getting ready to come to school I saw this on the today show. I actually spilled my coffee because I was sooo focused on what was happening that I forgot to turn it off.
Is this how girls act these days? When I was their age there were always the girls who every body knew wouldn’t put up with any crap so no girls talked about them. Those girls who were considered ” bad ass” every body avoided like the plague. But is being feared like the cool new thing to be?
I don’t have much else to say because I’m so astonished by this. I know the girls and 2 boys have been arrested but what do their parents have to say about all this? The one Mother was interviewed by Matt Lauer this morning and he did an excellent reporting job at making her look like the idiot Mother she is. How can some body, even if it is your child, try to justify this downright cruel act?

I’m Kind of New At This
So…..I’m new at this whole blogging thing but I promise you all that I will give it my best shot.
Sara has informed me to write about any thing in our field, well, what I was thinking about today was what my brother in law Matt and I had just chatted about. This topic may get me into trouble with some of my peers, but o well right? I like to stur the pot.
Matt & I were discussing my generation and how we have a skewed perception of the world. I let him talk to me about it a little but and I did give it some thought by the moment passed and I think something shiny caught my eye and triggered my ADD. Normally I would have brushed it off but then again on Sunday I was reminiscing with an old friend about high school, who is with who, who’s married, who has a family, etc……………. Then it struck the both of us, maybe people our age do have a misconception of what marriage is. Girls, do you think he’s going to turn out to be prince charming in real life? Odds are no. You’re going to fight, you’re going to get mad, feelings will get hurt but at the end of the day all you need is love and to remember that you made a vow…..forever. With divorce being so frequent these days it seems like when the going get rough……….there’s a lot more get going.
This leads me into a conversation that I just had with a past teacher of mine. I’d asked him to write me a letter of recommendation for grad school, he agreed, but wanted to sit down for a chat. At the end of our visit he told me how impressed he is with my ambition and my willingness to go get what I want. I guess this is in contrast to some of my peers and even those who I don’t know but who were referenced by my brother in law. Does my generation really just sit back and wait for a job to find them? Do we honestly expect to be making $100,000 right out of the gates of undergrad? Am I alone with knowing what I want to do and doing whatever it takes to make that happen?
