And so begins my senior year...

Hey all you future and current Lakers out there! 

My Evie!
I know it has been a LONG LONG LONG time since my last post, but I'm BACK for a new year at the 'Hurst!  Can you believe this is my SENIOR year?!  Yeah, me either...not entirely sure where the time went.  But, I plan on making the best of it and continuing to show all you readers how great this school is.

Our Little Fam
Let me start by telling you all about what had happened in my life since the end of last year!  In the late spring, my boyfriend and I adopted a dog from a shelter and she is the light of my life!  Her name is Evie and she is a jack russell terrier.  She is a little booger, but also the sweetest dog in the world!  Unfortunately, because I live on campus, she could not live with me so she lives with my boyfriend at his off campus house in his school in Ohio.  I miss her (and my boyfriend!) greatly now that I am back at MC but looking forward to frequent visits!

This summer I went back home and worked at a Cleveland homemade ice cream shop called Mitchell's.  It was a ton of fun and I met a lot of great people that worked with me...and of course enjoyed my fair share of ice cream (which I must now work off at the gym :P).  I actually got spoiled by how good that ice cream was because the other day at Egan I got some and it tasted terrible comparatively!  Don't get my wrong, Mercyhurst gets great ice cream...like I said, I am just spoiled!

After seeing Britney Spears
Elephants at the Zoo!
I went to Myrtle Beach, the Cleveland Zoo, Put-In-Bay, and even the Britney Spears concert this summer!  Some of my roommates visited Cleveland and we all attended the concert; I was in HEAVEN and a little girl again!  Even though I was working like crazy all summer, I still made sure to make the best of it!

At Myrtle Beach!
Summer has now dwindled down, however, and the first day of classes of an all new year is tomorrow.  I am not looking forward to homework again, but am definately feeling optimistic that this will be a great year!  I just finished my 3rd and final Welcome Week as a Laker Leader and had a ton of fun doing it!  It was probably the best year to date and I hope the new freshmen had some fun during their first weekend at college!  This weekend was casino night, a blacklight bash (SO MUCH FUN!), and of course the ever popular Hypnotic Intoxication.  One of the most attended events by students for the entire year, peers are actually hypnotized on stage and do some of the funniest things in the entire world!  This year, a friend of mine thought he was Tarzan and went into the audience to try and find Jane...needless to say it was a night FILLED with laughter!
Flashmobbing!
The highlight of the weekend, though, was when the Laker Leaders did a flashmob on the morning of the service project!  We were on the news and on YouTube!  Check out the video link below!
