thing i miss about college: part 1

lately, i've been realizing how wonderful college was. don't get me wrong, i'm very glad to be done with the school part of things, but it really was the most fun time ever. 

in honor of my college years (all 5.5 of them), i have decided to write a few blogs to commemorate this great time.

the first of these will take a look back on something i very dearly  miss: spring break. 

i had the chance to take 5 wonderful vacations with wonderful people. these included:
1. norwegian cruise with about 25 friends. there are no pictures in existence online, sorry.

2. st.pete beach (best ever. most of these are from that trip)

3.marco island. never, ever, ever go there. swamps. (it was fun though. its the trip i arrived tan and left white...)

4.clearwater with the besties. we stayed with shan's aunt, who stayed out later than us every night. 

5.clearwater again with a group of girls (plus jenna rawlings, who was an old YL girl...treat!)

here are the highlights :) 

the picture below makes me happy for SO many reasons.

as far as memories go... i'll leave these short and sweet :)
