We're no 613

Jeeezzzz we're not very good at this whole keeping in touch via blog thing are we lol!
Anyway I thought i would take the opportunity to maybe start us back up again!

I will begin with the obvious, I miss you all a ton! With August already half over I can't help but start to feel like it's time to pack up again and move back to Ithaca. What's weird is that I actually am packing up again, only this time i'm moving all of my crap into a tiny apt instead of a big house (that is sort of defective) with my best friends in the world.

I think it funny that second to worrying about how I'm going to pay for this shoe box, I worried about where to put all my shoe boxes! I really hardly have a closet in this place ha. I'm sure I'll manage.

Anyway I would also like to congratulate our very own Tinalolina on securing a fab new job at Polo! Wooooo hoooo lady! Just like Maria's email said the other day- we have could all be an ad for Ithaca. Polo, Celtics, Phillies, Grey! Wowza thats some success!

And Bryce and Melbird- you're off to your 5th year which is awesome. Ya know my little cousin wants to study PT and she's looking at Ithaca! She's been talking to me a lot about it lately and I have to say- I know how hard you guys work and everything, but I have a new found respect! I know you both will do amazing this year!

Annnnd my dearest Christina...I cannot beleive you are leaving us for a life of adventure in the UK...oh wait, yes I can!! I'm so excited for you because I know you are going to have the time of your life over there and I hope that you will write all about it on this blog. After all, you're going there to write...so I have high expectations.

OK well gotta run now, I'm at work and billing clients for the time I spent on this post haha!

BIG meeting in 5 mins....kinda nervous....thinking im not so great at this copywriting thing lately- but thats another story for another time and post!

love and miss

YOooooooOooOOOoOoooooo

Hey all you fine ladies,
I was hoping to make my first post after I had a job, sadly it seems as though waiting for that day is making my first post on the blog take way too long. So, here I am!

While there is no definite job I have still been going on interviews: Tomorrow I have my second interview to be the executive assistant to the Head of the division of Global Licensing, Monday I will be interviewing for the same position (executive assistant) to the Vice President of PR! Both of which I am really excited and nervous for. Until then, I've been working for my dad and I will start teaching sailing next week. Fun, fun, fun!

So how are things with you all?
Andrea, I talk to you all the time so I'm not too worried
Maria, how is the Celtics going? How was your first sale? Did you get my message about golf? Let me know
Sarah, how the hell are you! Do you still hang out with those boys that we met that night?
Bryce, how is PA?! milk any cows lately? hows the PT clinic?
Mel, I can't believe that we haven't seen each other - what are your plans for the bday???!?

Alright ladies, I know this post sucked but I that's all I got. Write soon!

:(

ahhhhh i miss you ladies sooooo much! that's all that is new with me - except for a busy work schedule!
xoxox

dresses

Andrea, please give us the link to that website..I must see it. Everyone--Andrea, Tina, and I went to that alumni thing in the city..it wasn't that exciting, although we had these super strong peach margs and got pretty buzzed off of them. We then went out to a bar with Jared and Brian Hoeffelswagger (def wrong spelling, but I love the name), and drank a lot..and ended up staying in Sue's apartment. We slept in our dresses, and Andrea wore her dress that she wore that night to work the next day, what a trooper. Then, Tina and I took the subway, missed the first train, took the next train home, still in our dresses. I was so hyper the rest of the day, and for some reason singing Will Smith's 'Welcome to Miami'. Well, I will we could have all been together, we must be soon!!

OMG

Tina and Mel
This dress will go down in history. Not only do wreak of stale beer---BUT i had my picture taken today to be posted on the G2 website directory. Sweet. Ok love you and I had a great time last night!

This is Weird!

Oh goodness. I'm sitting at my desk playing on my brand new mac and I really can't believe I'm a working lady now. This is sooo weird. I have no assignments at the moment but I know things will come my way before the day is over! I heard a little rumor that Grey no longer holds the At&t account- the account I always worked on. I also heard that the new client my team is working on is BMW! Kinda cool! I guess we just recently won a pitch to get the BMW business. Wonder if there are any perks to working on this account lol- probably not any for a measly junior copywriter haha. OK well i'm gonna head off to my orientation! Woo hoo!
miss you all dearly!

Craziness in Hoboken!

Hi Ladies
Soooooo I'm just now fully recovered from an adventurous night in Jersey for Christina's bday. We got all dressed up and had a blast. We stayed in Hoboken for the night and cabbed back to her house at 6am , when we walked in the door, her mom took one look at us and said, "What did you do? Walk home from Hoboken?" It was funny at the time because we looked like we'd been working the corner all night lol (more like hungover obvi!). Anyway Christina's mom must have been expecting that we would be in bad shape because she kindly pulled down the covers in the two beds we were sleeping in and even laid out a pair of pj's for Christina haha! It was a good time- all of the pics are on Christina's cam so she'll have to post them for sure! Alright- back to laundry and packing- half marathon on Sunday- work Monday ahhhhhhhh! NYC alumni event Tuesday (yahhh mel and tina!)

miss you girls

Hi!
Love the blog..we need to make sure we always update it :) I just came back from a trip with my friends to University of Deleware to see my friend Heather get commissioned into the airforce, it was a really neat ceremony. We got pretty drunk that night, and I was acting like our crazy senior week selves. I heard journey and flipped out, I cut my toe open again and it was bleeding everywhere, and we got lost in Deleware but found a WaWa (with bacon!). I think the tiredness and emotions are starting to hit me. We are going to the boardy barn tomorrow, I hope I survive. But anyway, I hope everyone is doing well..Tina good luck with your half marathon, Maria and Andrea good luck with the jobs!

Love you all-
Mel

sweetest thing

Awww girls, that was just the sweetest post. Here I am sitting in front of my comp sobbing like an idiot lol. I miss you all. Christina, you are so right, we have all guided each other for four years and while it may be time for us to take these next steps on our own, I know each and every one of you is but a phone call away. Love you!

PS- speaking of steps- remember when we used to count steps for one another awww :)

I'm such a loser I know

I am a writing major so bare with me but I wanted to start off my blog with something less formal about when we would meet next or what I did today and more about what you guys have truly meant to me. I know, I am a little mushy but I can't help it. I just got home and i'm a little sentimental right now! :)

It started the week after spring break and has continued all the way until tonight as I sit here in bed the first night I am back in good 'ole Jersey. The unexplainable dreams, the midnight sweats, the fear of failure. The changing times, important decisions and unclear future. The realization that these four years of irreplaceable growth and happiness have come to an end and that from now on, I would be on my own; never again to live in the same place with all my best friends by my side. Never again to be guided and supported face-to-face by the most important people of my college career. I may be coming off as a little extreme but we have all been experiencing the same fears for the most part I think.

Just watching everyone at school these past couple of weeks, I realize how much tighter we hugged each other and how much more intently we connected. How we all have become a little more motivated to go out or just hang out. How all our different groups have merged and new friendships bounded.

We planned events for each day and goals to accomplish before graduation. We made poster boards counting down to special dates and planned dinners for all of us to gather. We took picture after picture, well maybe I am the biggest sucker of that, just in case we couldn't ever capture the moments like that again. We talked about how frightening, exhilarating, and challenging the next months will be. And yet, I find this satisfying; the idea that I have gained such true friends that I didn’t ever want to leave or say goodbye.

As I look back on all that has happened in these past few years- the growing up, the growing together, the growing apart and the growing side by side- the tragedies of romance, heartache and drunken mishaps, I realized how great it has all been and don’t know where I would be without you. I truly am blessed with the opportunity you have given me to gain your friendships.

When I look at all of you, I see myself. I see our shared excitement, anticipation, hopefulness; I see how much our faces have changed along with our experiences and attitudes towards life. But we have all changed together, not alone. We have grown so much since we arrived here 4 short years ago. It takes a lot of time, a lot of understanding, a lot of hope and a lot of love to maintain a friendship. But I don’t have any doubt about any of ours. I don’t fear the uncertainty of the future because I know my most precious assets, you girls, will always remain with me, despite distance and time and will remain the most important people to me for the rest of my life and I thank you for that.

I love you all so much and okay. Back to posting normal gossipy things from now on I promise! I hope you are all enjoying home.
