Throwback...
Netflix is by far the most popular movie/tv show watching outlet in college. I don't know one single person who does not have it. It is so popular because it has thousands of titles of tv shows or movies to browse through. A lot of the titles are throwbacks--90s sitcoms and so forth.
My latest venture is Ally McBeal. I figure if it is a common question on Jeopardy and other games shows, it was worth my view. I oddly love it. It is kind of addicting and I adore Calista Flockhart as the put together lawyer (un-put together love life). Plus it takes place in Boston. What could be better?
Did any of you watch this show back in the day (or on Netflix!)? Any throwback suggestions?
Happy weekend!

Inspiration...
Check out the link below. Zach's story will surely change your day, if not your life in some small way. A great reminder of how phenomenal humans can be. Sometimes we just need a little reminder.
You all have twenty two minutes to spare. You won't regret watching this.

Saying Goodbye.
Today I moved out of the dorms. I finished my last exam, said my goodbyes, and ate at Kimball for the last time for many months. Since I am going abroad for the year, saying goodbye is especially sad. While I am excited for what is on the horizon, it is nerve-wracking to leave a place I finally feel like I can call home.
This has been a hard year. I lost some friends, gained so many, was challenged academically, and so much more. I grew so much in one year and the memories and laughter still ring in my head. I sit in my empty room to appreciate these last moments. The next time I will be back on campus will be senior year... preparing to enter the real world. For now I look back on a year of innocence, not having to worry about big girl things.
I am so appreciative of Holy Cross. I have met some amazing people and some not so amazing. I learned from both. I cried, I laughed, I GREW. I am eteranally grateful for this year and all those who supported me through it.
My roommate, Sarah, and I decided to leave our mark on our room. Room 329 was so amazing to us and we made so many memories--from lock down during Hurricane Sandy and the super snow storm, too spring weekend, too random nights of pillow talk--it has always been a place of comfort and laughter.
We signed our upper closet doors and hope when we return for many alumni weekends it will still be there for us to remember. If you know my roommate she is beyond sassy so while her message was a bit more on the funny side, mine was a bit more sentimental.
I will be recovering from the hardest week of finals yet and sorting through the massive car full of clothing, jewelry, and ohhh so much more I just packed up for the coming days, so I leave you with these doors.... our small mark on a place that means so much to us.

Weekend Re-cap
This past weekend was Spring Weekend here on campus---the notoriously best weekend of the year. It was American themed.. so you cannot get much better than that. I was super sick last year at this time... suffering in bed from an allergic reaction to medicine so it was refreshing to be able to go out and enjoy Friday night, Saturday day and night. This was the best weekend of the year.
I had so much fun with all my friends. The campus police let us all stay outside all day without breaking anything up so that made it so much better. Although we are still recovering: I stepped on glass, my roommate got burned by a cigarette, our feet are so sore from walking around all day, and we didn't go to bed before 1:30 AM all weekend.
I couldn't have asked for a better weekend to end my experience here... surrounded by all the people who I love to death ( I can finally say that I have found my niche). Since I am going abroad, it was sort of send off.
I took THOUSANDS of photos. When I looked back I honestly was like WHATT?! Since I have class in ten minutes (last day!!) here are just a few teasers.

Fashion Friday: Phone Cases
Phone cases are the new fashionable accessory. Here are some of the cutest on my radar.
Happy accessorizing!

JCrew
I currently am using the anchor themed case (far right).
Tory Burch also carries a ton of cute phone cases, although a little over priced (as with much of her products).
Love this one!
If you are more into the preppy cases--Vineyard Vines is the one stop preppy shop.

A Little Patriotic Pizazz
A few weekends ago my roommate and I sat in her home on her couch (she lives nearby) and watched the news as minute by minute the BPD and so many others discovered the Boston bomber was in a boat. It is one of those moments I will never forget--the sort of where were you when JFK got shot--where were you when 9/11 happened? We all looked around in disbelief that the nightmare was finally over. In that moment we felt we had to bring a little spirit back to our campus, which was slightly dampened by the weeks events.
Our window sits right on Easy Street... the main street on campus and the ONLY flat ground you will walk on while here. We live in Lehy- a dorm notoriously spirited and fun that has a spark of life to it each year. We couldn't let these circumstances pass us by, so we promptly drove to WalMart to purchase an American flag.
Though it took us hours to properly secure, (making sure it didn't fly away--lots of string and tape was involved) we could not be happier with the final product. Technically it is illegal to hang things outside your window, but not one complaint has been filed, nor has campus police asked us to remove it.
We had a minor incident when someone tried to jump up and rip it down, but I rushed to the window and yelled at them. Though they tried to fight back they soon realized you do not want to challenge me... especially when it comes to patriotic entities. think again honey....
We are pretty proud of our pizazz hanging outside the window.. it will surely stay there until we move out on May 15th and I think this flag may just make it into my suitcase to Ireland. A great wall decoration in my opinion.
God Bless America!
