That trip I posted about last? It happened. It was amazing, beautiful, thrilling, crazy, risky, loving and oh so memorable. My friend Sarah and I spent four weeks, two in Ireland and two in Italy, and enjoyed almost every minute of it. There was record rainfall in Ireland and record heat in Italy. While in Belfast we were caught in a flash flood and in Vasto we spent three amazing days with my cousins I have missed so much. I could go on and on about that trip forever but I feel like that's unnecessary. I know how wonderful it was and I'll hold on to those memories right now.

Everything else is, more or less, the same in my life. Sorting out graduate school applications at the moment. I'm getting sick of being stuck here and am ready for the next step in my life. Anything can happen, right?

Peace and Love.

I Remember That Summer In Dublin

...and am going back to relive it again. That's right, it's time to take another trip across the pond. I was able to convince another waitress at the casino to do some traveling with me. We're leaving on June 16th to spend about four weeks in Europe, two in Ireland and two in Italy. The specifics are still in the works but I do know one thing, it's going to be awesome. This is exactly what I need to get me through the next few months.

Peace and Love.

So Let's Raise a Toast

I'm honestly, and obviously, not very good at keeping up to date with things. It's high time I get my life back together again.

It's been eleven months since my college graduation from Geneseo. I promised myself that I would take a year off from studies and then head to another school for my Master's, so now it's time to find what school that's going to be. My heart is set on Northeastern, but I'm really concerned about not getting in. I need to start looking for backups just in case. It doesn't help that I'm not 100% sure about what I want to do for the rest of my life-honestly I'm not even 50% sure about what I want to do for the rest of my life. However, I'm only on the cusp of being 23, there's no need to decide just yet. I think my best bet is to just pick a tract that I enjoy and will open up doors in lots of different fields and go from there. Yet I'm still torn between either International Relations or Psychology. Who knows, time will tell I suppose.

So I guess my 'catching up' post was just my rambling thoughts on graduate school. Guess we'll see what happens in the next coming months, eh? Things will work out however their supposed to so here's to hoping for the best!

Peace and Love.

Always Remember

A few snippets from Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford commencement speech. I think they’re necessary to remember, especially at the point in my life I’m at right now.

“You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

“Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”

Peace and Love.
