I came across this picture today online:


It made me think of the many times in life we want to slow time down and go back to when days were simpler and easier. If you're reading my blog then you are most likely starting or in the middle of your college search and/or application process. You're almost done with highschool and are about to embark on heading off to college. I remember those days so well, not knowing what major I would choose and feeling all the uncertainty about the change about to take place in my life. Now as a college senior I am facing the same fears and excitement about what lay ahead. Instead of majors I'm worried about jobs. Instead of thinking about where I'm going to go to school I'm thinking about where I'm going to live.

As I start my last semester as a Notre Dame woman next week it will be the beginning of the end so to speak. I am glad I've had NDMU here for me these past few years to shape me into the person I am. I remember so vividly wearing my cap and gown at my honors convocation ceremony and in a few short months I'll be walking across stage to receive my diploma in that same assemble. If you've recently been accepted or if you're still narrowing down your options, I hope you find NDMU to be as beneficial as so many of the current students do. As I leave, many of you will be following in my shoes. So I encourage you, do not regret growing older, it is a privilege denied to many.

Purple Fever

If you've read my blog since the beginning you might have gathered that I am a huge Baltimore Ravens fan! Lucky for me, my team is headed to the AFC Championship!! All over Baltimore major government buildings, random places in the city, and even local restaurants are showing their Purple Pride. Notre Dame gets in on the action every year the Ravens make it into the playoffs by lighting up our famous Gibbons Tower purple. Here's a picture!


Don't forget our SECOND Winter Open House is this Saturday, January 21st starting at 8:30 in the morning! :)

Winter Break Work Fun!!

As I mentioned in my last post I am working over Winter Break. I started this past Friday with a full day of putting together and sending out mailings! If you're a prospective student expect to receive something that looks like this in the mail sometime soon!


Also, notice my cute gray cardigan! It has the school's logo on the left hand side. Us Student Ambassadors were given these as Christmas presents this year from the Admissions team. I was so excited I wore it on my first day back to work. :)

Happy 2012!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

It's so exciting to finally reach 2012 because I graduate in May! :D It seems a bit more real now that the actual year is here. I'm currently on winter break and enjoying some time to catch up with friends and relax without looming schoolwork deadlines... I received all of my grades from last semester and am very pleased. JUST missed Dean's List but it was my busiest semester so far and I'm just glad I kept my sanity in the end. :P I hope everyone had a great holiday! Here is a picture of my parents and I on Christmas Eve before mass:


It's a tradition for me to take a picture on Christmas Eve with each of my parents these past few years, but we never get one all together (my dad, the resident photographer, doesn't ever bring out the tripod). So I decided to use my self-shooting camera skills that I learned from growing up in the social media age to capture all three of us together! They're laughing cause they think I'm a little crazy for trying. But hey! It turned out pretty darn good.

I am working in the Admissions office over winterim so hopefully I will see you on a tour or at our second Winter Open House on Saturday January 21st!
