Senior Week - 100 Days until Graduation!

Hey readers!

SO sorry for the two week hiatus...I have been working like a buzzing little bee on papers and projects.  I also dedicated a lot of last week to Senior Week.  Senior Week is the countdown to the 100 Days until Graduation Party and my fellow senior gift committee members dedicated lots of time to organize and run all of the fun events for seniors to enjoy!

Last Monday was the Kickoff party.  We had mocktails and a chance for seniors to come and make a pledge to the class gift and pick up their tshirts for Friday's 100 Days Party.
Tuesday was bowling night, and because of homework I had to skip that event. =[
Wednesday was Pizza Tasting night.  Our committee got 9 different pizzas from restaurants around Erie for seniors to come and sample and vote for their favorite.  Hungry Howie's and our very own Parkhurst Dining Services were the winners!
Thursday evening was one of the biggest events.  We organized the "Snag-a-Senior" Date Auction, where Mercyhurst students from every year could come and bid on a date that came with an awesome package such as a limo ride, gift certificates, and tickets to the Erie Bayhawks.  We had an AMAZING turnout and raised a ton of money, plus it was super fun!
Finally, Friday evening was the 100 Days Until Graduation Party.  The night kicked off with a free dinner for seniors at Egan Dining Hall (complete with cake!), and later that night was the party at the Cornerstone Bar right near campus.  The senior class took over the bar and everywhere you looked there were students in matching tshirts celebrating our last stretch of undergrad!  It was an amazingly fun night and everything went very smoothly!

The BEST news is that the senior gift committee has actually reached our fundraising goal!  We are soooooo excited that all our hard work paid off! 

After a busy and quick week, I celebrated my 22nd birthday this past Sunday.  It was pretty low key, but my fiance's mom came to Erie to spend the evening with me on Saturday.  We went to see a movie and had a nice dinner, and spent a relaxing night in a hotel.  Next weekend I will be more officially celebrating my birthday with my lovely fiance =].

I do have one more little bit of goods news...I am officially going to John Carroll University for graduate school next year!  After a long application and interview process, I made it into the program!  It is a one year accelerated program that is going to be an amazing experience and opportunity for me!  I am so excited for what my future has ahead for me!

So, here's to new experiences and lots of fun!  Time to prepare for finals and the end of term!  Happy Valentine's Day!!!
