I'm so in love I can barely stand it...

dear god it's been a long time... almost a year

basically a lot has changed. i'm almost finished with my freshman year of college at PSU. i absolutely love it here and i can't imagine being anywhere else. i've made some amazing friends and have definitely grown up a lot. i'm living a great life up in State College, while maintaining my fantastic friendships from back home. it's wonderful to know that everything can go completely haywire and my best friends will always be there for me. i'm doing really well in school and have a great social life... it's really practically perfect right now and i feel so blessed. i have great friends and a great boyfriend. life is good.

it's going to be weird returning to the lancaster life style this summer, but with the knowledge that i'll be returning back to PSU in the fall, everything will be OK. i'll just work my two jobs, hang out with my loves and family and before you know it i'll be cheering on my nittany lions once again!!!!!!!!!!!!


so for now i'm just living in the present but always excited for some fun summer nights ahead in Canada, at country night with my hottie friends, going to the beach, relaxing, having some fun and just living life....

until next entry (who knows when that will be)

so its been a while since i've posted on here... a lot has happened since my last entry. i have about 16 days left of school which is both exciting and scary! life as i know it is going to change come august 24 dramatically when i move into PENN STATE baby!!!! i'm looking forward to college immensly but i know im going to have a rough time without my friends. they're my support group. they mean so much to me and without them its hard to get through tough times. but i know that we'll stay friends because it doesnt get much better than them!!!!!

so i just got home from seeing the holiday, and i believe that it is my new favorite movie! everything else in my life seems to feel less stressful now...

IT'S 2007!!!!!!
omg i can't even believe it! back in the day i would calculate the year i was going to graduate and go to my senior prom and all of that good stuff... and now its here. weird. so i was watching the smallville marathon the other day, and i've decided that its pretty much one of my favorite shows. the music is awesome in it too. i never realized how much i liked it until i actually paid attention. the more i look at things lately, the more i find their positives. i guess thats good

o, and my new years resolutions is to try not to complain so much. i realized that i do that, and thats not the person i want to be. i'm excited about the senior dinner dance too

wow this has been a very random entry
until next time....

so i believe an update would be appropriate here.....
ummmm what is new? pretty much busy as usual. crazy weekend. acts, leadership, work, more work, choir concerts. the last christmas ones EVER! scary. time flies. i miss my friends. hopefully we'll have a christmas part pretty soon. i think i need to get to bed sometime soon to catch up on all of the sleep that ive been missing. o, and i just watched She's All That for the first time since literally 1999 and i forgot that i really like that movie! yeah its cheezy and so over the top, but its cute... and i'm all about the cute.

i think im confused. i dont quite what im confused about, but things in general. i wish i just had some time to myself. i got home from work at 1130 tonight and i just needed some time to unwind, so here i am unwinding, but i should really be in bed. it just feels so good to veg out for a while. sit on the computer, watch a movie. its nice. i miss having some "me" time. hopefully over christmas break i'll get some of those.

im really excited for the upcoming events though, im pumped about the musical and even more so for the cruise with the girls. i plan on having the most relaxed, fun week of my life. i have tons to do before then, but its all going to be worthwhile......

if i think im busy now, i'm just gunna have to brace myself for the next two months! ahhhh


choir concerts at 2 and 7. come see!!

i think college applications are going to be the death of me.... i never realized how much time and effort they take! once those are over, i think this years going to go much smoother

wow... so its been a very strange few weeks. the snow storm was absolutely ridiculous. and spirit week, what a mess! but i guess thats just how life is. you never know whats comming your way. i wish there was some sort of way to know these things. sometimes i just hope im not shutting things out or passing things by because im so busy worrying about why things are not going the right way. so what if spirit week is a mess.... so what if its not the same as it has always been.... i guess i just have to try and make the best of what i have left.

im going to try and have the best time at homecoming that i can


<3 steph

so i just hung out with kelly adam and mike and i had such a fantastic night! we did the most random stuff ever and it was just a really great time. it got my mind off of a lot of things....
i just love those boys. and i honestly have no idea why they're even friends with me. they're too awesome for words. its amazing how they have the ability to make everything better. kelly and i have been having a rough time lately, and those boys just brightened up our lives right now! i heart them o so much. what other guys would wanna drive around blasting the back street boys, singing on the top of our lungs, go through the burger king drive through and ask for crowns or go "slug hunting?"

all of my friends are "one in a million"

i wish i was the girl that all of the guys fought over...

FREDONIA TOMORROW!!!!!!


WOO HOO!!!!!



i'll recap on the weekend when i get home sunday


:)

**i'm soOo pumped**

so i've decided that i need at least 28 more hours in my week, that way i can add an extra 4 hours to each day! that would work for me. theres so much more that i want to do that i just dont have time for. i feel like i dont have enough time to talk to all of my college friends, and its really sad because i dont want them to think i dont care about them anymore or anything. and i know im here right now, on the computer, but this is the only free time i get. im either at school, lessons, running around to get my su projects done, or 5000 other things. and it doesnt help that i dont get out of school until at least 5 o'clock (thats the earliest)....

and btw, im not complaning. i just wish i had more time to do outside things. i want to be able to do normal things as well. with all of the stuff im involved in right now, im required to have such a higher level of maturity and responsibility and it would be nice at times to let loose. haha and its only the 2nd week of school. image me in a month or two!! with the musical and all it should be interesting.

ive also been feeling pretty empty for some reason. i have great friends, great things happening to me, but somethings not quite right. i have to fix that.....

So the courtyard dance this year was WAY too much fun for me to handle! My friends are awesome and we just danced the night away... And it was raining a lot of the dance and we were outside in the courtyard, the ground got all muddy and we were covered in mud, but it was sooo much fun. It was the best courtyard dance that i've been to!!!!!


i cant believe what a good time i ended up having!

so steph just realized that homecoming's really not that far away.....

why do i have to think of things like that? lol

but on a happier note, the courtyard dance is saturday and i'm super excited for that!!!!!!
and the mixer is going to be amazing. i have my costume all ready and stuff so it should be great.

i love choir.
i love my friends.

Senior Year is EXTREMELY weird!!!!!!!

i miss my college friends. i miss knowing people in the school. i miss a lot of things.

but lets look on the brightside... i don't have to worry about my course load! i have a wopping 3 classes that actually matter... the rest are choir or leadership\

so i'm currently in Indiana right now... about 7 miles away from Notre Dame.....

its about 1130 and im kinda of bored, so i pulled out the dads laptop and have been going on the myspace and facebook and such. also, i've been looking for future prospective colleges to visit

today i visited the university of michigan and i really really like it! the campus is right in the city and they have amazing clothes, restaurants, bookshops and such. the buildings are so beautiful and they have so many programs available!

oh, so story. my dad and i were wandering around the campus and we were in the law quad. (which was by far the most beautiful site on the entire campus... it was breathtaking) we went into the library and then proceeded to look around and then finally exited back into the quad. there were these 2 guys there videotaping the campus and taking pictures and stuff and they stopped my dad and i and asked us if they could take some pictures of us for a future project they were doing. they ended up being from toyota and they were going to be holding a conference in ann arbor (the area where the school is) and were going to build a new center for toyota there and they needed pictures of people in the area. so they took candid pictures of my dad and i... it was so funny. the best part of it all was that we had to sign picture release forms and then they gave us $10!!!!!! hahah it was great

so basically my dad and i are now pretty much famous and we are the faces of toyota in ann arbor, michigan! my career will now go through the roof!


so im having a pretty good time, but im missing my friends already and its so weird to not have a computer on hand all of the time. yes. i'm addicted. and its just so strange to think that i have to be seriously considering where i want to go to college. i still feel like im 12 and i have tons of time for all of this stuff, but in reality i have only a few months. thats so weird. i'm getting old! ahhhhhhhhh


<3 steph

i miss everyone and i cant wait to come home and hang out with everyone again!

it's so hard knowing that you would've been so happy... knowing now that it's too late. the time has come and faded away. the chance to finally do something for yourself and move on. instead you're sitting here on livejournal telling the whole world. why you ask?
