The Life of a College Grad

Post Grad

2010-05-17T11:02:00.000-07:00

I don't know if anyone looks at this thing anymore. But, since only a few people knew that I actually graduated...I thought I would start blogging about the important things in my life (and the not so important.)

So here it goes....

I GRADUATED!

2 universities, 4 years, and lots of studying and partying...I did it! I have at BA in Advertising and a Masters in Awesome.

I have moved home and am now looking for a job in the Seattle area. Wish me luck : )

2009-10-14T11:23:00.000-07:00

Favorite pic from the game on Saturday!

I am coming home tomorrow!

I'm overly excited about it.

Going to Seattle on Friday night for Tony's show (cousin Jenna's fiance). Always a good time.

Sunday breakfast? Think about it.

Homesick!

2009-10-07T15:46:00.000-07:00

Miss you, Family!

Can't wait for Mommy and Daddy to get back so I can get out of Pullman and come home for a weekend!

So excited for my girls to come visit this weekend!

Homecoming game this saturday! It should be a good weekend! Go Cougs!

Great Time!

2009-09-30T14:28:00.000-07:00

Two of my favorite girls, Elin and Ashley, came to visit me last weekend! We had so much fun out on the town!

It's been a while...

2009-09-20T12:40:00.000-07:00

So I am about a month into my senior year! There has not been a dull moment!

I spend a lot of time on campus doing school work. I am taking my final advertising classes, one of them is Ad Agency Campaigns. Soooo much work! It is really like a full time job!

The rest of my time is usually spent with my 5 new roomates. It's been really fun! We have finally gotten our disgusting old house to be liveable.

Oh and.. COUGS WON yesterday! Yay!

(I had to metion it because it might be the only oppurtunity I get)

Last week!

2009-06-16T10:54:00.000-07:00

Only 3 more days of summer classes! yay! One final down! One to go! and Two projects! : (

I don't know what provoked me to take summer classes.

Fortunatley, Pullman hasn't been too bad!

Mostly I have just been swingin in my swing, soakin up the sunshine.

My boss invited all the Evergreeners over to his house for an end of the year party! It was so much. He stocked his cooler up with beer and his wife made a ton of food for all of us.

Yesterday Ash and I road tripped it up to Spokane. We needed a break from Pullman and we have been dying to go to Sonic!

Plus, I have had a Nordy gift card that I have been dying to spend!

So we had lunch at Sonic and It was AMAZING! Then we shopped the day away.

So much FUN!

And then we had Sonic for dinner! haha.

The drive home seemed like it took forever because I had major shoppers fatigue!

My night was topped off when I got home and

High School Musical 3 was in the mailbox from NetFlix!

(Iknow, I'm a dork!)

So today, I plan on doing homework allllll day! I want to get all my assignments done and start studying for this weeks exams so I won't have to CRAM at the end of the week!

(I will let you know if it actually happens : ) )

Oh and did I mention that I'm famous. okay not really but I consider this my

15 minutes of FAME!

Yes, thats my face takin' up a half page. haha It's kind of embarrassing. But, it's one of the opportunities that has come from my job!

Hi Hi!!

2009-02-15T18:24:00.000-08:00

I hope everybody had a great V-Day! My roomate and I were the only single people in Applebees. It was a little depressing. haha.

My parents came to Pullman this weekend! They brought me my new lap top, because mine broke in half (whoops!). It was so nice having them here. We ate waaaaay too much food but it was all really good! It was a nice, relaxing weekend.

Thanks Daddy and Mommy!

No school tomorrow! YES!

So close, but so far!

2009-01-26T17:41:00.000-08:00

2008-08-26T11:48:00.000-07:00

today i am in an actual legitment college class. like the ones you see on TV with the auditorium seating and like 500 students. and my teacher is actually excited about his job and cares if we learn stuff! i feel so collegiate! and whoa! to the kid that just sat next to me, holy cologne! the kid on my other side is drawing really cool stuff. the smell of his sharpie might make me sick though. well i better pay attention now!

First Day.

2008-08-25T13:24:00.000-07:00

Classes started today. Got up early to get to my 7:45 class, and my professer did not show up! Nice huh? So then I had a two hour break before my next class, I got some coffee at the new bookstore and chatted with a friend. At 10:10 I went to my public speaking class and I met some cool people. I guess it was a good day except for the getting up super early for no reason part.

2008-08-20T14:37:00.000-07:00

I'm all settled in! It was a long weekend of unpacking in 100 degree weather. Our place turned out really cute and we are very excited about it!

Dad and Mom stayed for the weekend! They helped me get unpacked and got to see Pullman! We toured the campus and got some new cougar gear. We made big trips to Costco, Wal Mart and Albertsons for everything I could ever possibly need.

Dad fixed everything up and made sure that nothing would blow up. He also installed an alarm system so that Ash and I could sleep safely upstairs! Mom and I took care of the decorating, we made it look like less of a dump! Thanks for everything Mommy and Daddy!!! I love you and miss you!

I will put pictures of our condo up in my next update!!!

Last day!

2008-08-15T17:19:00.000-07:00

Me and Ashley on WSU Campus

I also babysat my little cousins Kaelin and Kylie for the weekend....
At Kaelins game. Go Scorpians!
At the Woodland Park Zoo!
Then we went to my house and I tried to dump them off on my parents. Didnt work.
Kylie with Rylies puppy.

Kaelin is obsessed with Star Wars so my Dad busted out his new light saber.

In the end it was totally worth being woken up at 7 in the morning! and battling Kylie to take a bath because Bryttani (their mom, my cousin) got me an amazing Juicy. I love it! its tiffany blue!

Tonight I will be watching Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill! Im super excited.

I will also be home this weekend! YAY!

yo yo yigetty yo

2008-04-19T12:10:00.000-07:00

I am about to embark on the long/boring drive to pullman. I wont speed this time. Which unfortunately only adds to the length and boredom that I will soon be expiriencing. I havent packed yet. I should probably do that.

Orientation is tomorrow and Monday. So I will be signing up for classes and getting my cougar card and all that stuff. Kind of exciting. I hope I get some free stuff. Except it really only appears free considering I'm paying alot to go there. But hey, free stuff is cool.

My camera is on the charger and I'm to get some sweet pics : )

...

2008-04-06T18:43:00.000-07:00

Ash and I at our new school!

snow???

2008-03-26T10:05:00.000-07:00

it is snowing! hard! good thing i didnt wear flip flops today!

im in class right now. history is boring. but my professor is seriously good looking : )

Pretty Toes

2008-03-20T15:52:00.000-07:00

My Mom and I are getting pedicures right now. Its about time. Mom went with "Make an Entrance" and I went with "Mediteranean Charm".... I would like to know who comes up with these names. That would be a sweet job.

New Phone!!

2008-03-16T13:49:00.000-07:00

i got a new phone! my last one just didnt want to work anymore.
this phone is soooo cool. its the voyager and i can do pretty much anything with it. and yes i am updating my blog with it right now! : )

my mommy came to visit last night. we had a little slumber party.it was fun, we went out to dinner and watched juno.

me and ash are on our way to pullman right now. boring drive but this thing is keeping me quite entertained.

Spring Break!

2008-03-14T17:54:00.000-07:00

Yay! I am all done with this dreadful quarter!

Over the break I'm going to Pullman to sign my lease! I'm excited!

I got the whole week off from work! YES! No dirty diapers for me!

YEEAH!

2008-03-11T14:47:00.000-07:00

Just aced my final. I give you permission to be impressed.

ugh Finals

2008-03-05T15:39:00.000-08:00

Finals week is aproaching. I'm scrambling to get all of my homework done. I'm in the lab right now trying to make a computer program. A little advice, never take a computer science class. Luckily, Adam is on his was to help me. What a nice big bro. (Mom, i know you had something to do with that. Thank you!)

On a more exciting note, this quarter is almost over! yipeee! It is already heating up over here. Almost time to bust out my flip flops! I'm bringing home all of my winter coats because there is no need for them to take over my closet anymore.

I'm coming home tomorrow night through tuesday morning! I'm for sure going to the mall, getting a pedicure, and watching endless hours of onDemand. Oh yeah and I will be doing all of my communications homework that has accumulated over the quarter.

Family get together? I like the sound of that!

Go Cougs

2008-03-02T00:42:00.000-08:00

For those that haven't heard... I'm transfering to WSU!!

Me and my roomate are going together in the fall. We went to Pullman today to find a place to live. I love it! We found a 2 bedroom condo just north of campus, so we are crossing our fingers that everything works out!

My camera is being repaired so I couldn't take any pictures. But picture me in some brand new WSU gear and you got it!

It was a good trip except for the speeding ticket! Apparently the cops in Othello consider 81 in a 65 speeding? I learned a very valuable lesson, that it actually takes forever to get to WSU when youre going to the speed limit! Sorry Mom and Dad! I will never speed again!!!

My New School!

Jungle Fever!

2008-02-24T22:15:00.000-08:00

My Birthday Party was AMAZING!

I was Queen of the Jungle!

It was so much fun!

Happy Friday!

2008-02-22T14:53:00.000-08:00

Yay for the weekend!!

Today Me, Jenna and my roomies are decorating for my birthday party tomorrow night!!
We are going to get pizza from papa murphys, rent a movie, and turn Jenna's living room into a jungle!

I can't wait!

For those of you who live Vicariously through Me!

2008-02-18T22:54:00.000-08:00

Happy Presidents Day!

Today me, jenna, and my roomate ashley went to Yakima. We had to get out of this town. We went to the mall, i got some mascara from mac. and we ate at Miners, which was amazing.

I just finished my homework! Kind of. I still have to study for my mid-term tommorrow. ugh! I really regret putting it all off until tonight.

Study Time! Weee!

I Have ADD

2008-02-13T17:40:00.000-08:00

I have been doing homework for waaay too long. So I need a break.

My parents came to visit on Sunday! We've been trapped over here because Snoqualmie pass hates us, so it was really good to see them. They brought a bunch of stuff and took me and Adam grocery shopping. I can finally eat something besides cereal now! Thanks Mom and Dad : )

My Grandma had surgery today and it went really well. Yay! I hope the recovery goes even better : ) Although I'm guessing her Valentines Day won't be the best she's ever had. Hope Gramps got her something good!

Everyone have a good Valentines Day! I miss you!

Superbooowl!

2008-02-04T20:34:00.001-08:00

My boyfriend, Tom, suffered a tough loss at yesterdays game. So...I broke up with him. I just can't date a loser : )

Overall, it was a good Superbowl Sunday. There was chips, pizza, and lots of TV's. Not to mention crazy college boys that are way too into football. It makes for an entertaining event.

We're sad that New England Lost.

And look... I dyed my hair dark again.

Oh and Happy February everyone! I just want to throw out that my Birthday is coming up. It's a big one. I will no longer be a teenager anymore.

Mass Update!

2008-01-29T18:54:00.000-08:00

Sorry everyone! I'm sucha a bad blogger! I've been in Ellensburg for a month now and not one update... It kinda shows how exciting E-burg is!

This past month I have spent my time in class and at work : ( I leave for class in the morning at 7:40 and don't get home until 3:30! ugh it is awful! This quarter I am taking Math, Womens Studies, Computer Science and Communications. I like all of my classes, except Communications. I might like it, if I didn't have the most horrible professer in the entire world! However, I do enjoy quietly mocking her in the back of the classroom.

Work is going good. I get Fridays off now and it is amazing!

What is not amazing? The freezing cold weather here : ( I was not made for it.

What is amazing? My parents are coming to visit this weekend and I am very excited because I miss them almost as much as they miss me : )

I hope everyone is doing wonderful! and I will try to update this more often.

It's A Holly Jolly Christmas!

2007-12-23T12:52:00.000-08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

My roomates and I took a family photo before we left for break. So this is my Christmas card to you! In this picture is Ashley and her bear, "Bear." Me and my blanket, "Blanket" (dont laugh). Jessica and her dog, "Friskee." and of course our playful old dog, "Falcor" (dont ask).

It's almost Christmas Eve!!! And I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

Oh Nordstrom

2007-12-15T12:30:00.000-08:00

I started work yesterday at Nordys, in the At Home department. It's not exactly the most exciting of departments. But there is some cool stuff in their that I seriously wish I could afford. For instance, my new found obsession... the "Giraffe at Home 'Luxe' Throw Blanket"

It's probably not news to anyone that I have a thing for blankets, but this one... Oh man. Everytime I walk past it I have to touch it. It's really amazing. If employees ever get a 90% discount, it will be mine.

I am working everyday this week, so pray for my feet. (or as Amanda would say, "My Dogs.")

Officially a Blogger!

2007-12-07T19:06:00.000-08:00

Yay! Now you all can know what I am doing all the time! Thats hoping that I keep this thing updated : ) I will do my best.

I just got into town today and it feels great to be home! Especially since it's the most wonderful time of the year! and also because I don't have school for three weeks! I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and spending time with my fam!
