Ohhh happy day!

Hey gang! Sorry I've been MIA lately! I've been keeping up with my google reader but no time to actually update! Today I have BIG news!

I GOT TWO INTERNSHIP OFFERS! phew. That feels sooo good to write out. A week ago, I was completely overwhelmed that I didn't hear from the first place I applied and interviewed at. I thought I would have to work at my dad's company (not related to my major at all) and basically gave up hope! Then I went to a job and internship fair at my school hosted by the Career Center. I then met with an alumni who works in a media outlet. We clicked instantly, he actually was sports editor for PreppyU when he went here! I sent him my application that night, hoping this would work out. We scheduled an interview for today! All my fingers and toes were crossed, especially since I gave up hope from the first internship interview.

So today at 3:30, I was waiting to hear from alum interview guy. My phone rang, I took a deep breath and answered the phone. It was that first internship calling! I got the internship! Crazy. I told them I was weighing my options and I'd let them know by Monday. I was shocked, couldn't believe of all days they called today!

Two minutes later I got a call from the alum, the first thing he said was this interview was a formality and that I got the internship. PHEW! I told him why I wanted the internship and we chatted about my pool.

I decided I'm going to take the second offer, mainly because I can't turn down a connection with an alum and it's a little bit more "serious" than the other. It is farther away, a 40 min commute instead of like 15 but totally worth it. The alum also said that they hire a majority of their summer interns when they graduate! Definitely more incentive to go there.

Right afterwards, I called PreppyBF and it hit me. I had an internship and everything worked out. I applied to over 12 places and all that work finally paid off. I even started to tear up on the phone with PBF! It's all coming together and I couldn't be happier!

Now on to PreppyBF's law school hunt. He was accepted to a school but unfortunately their deadline for a deposit was April 15th! CRAZY. He still hadn't heard from other schools so he decided to hope for the best from the other four schools. He wants to go to a school in Virginia, it's more prestigious and has a Republican reputation (icing on the cake!) Fingers crossed he gets in! The other two schools are great too, I'm sure he'd agree that he'd be happy wherever he ends up!

In other news my little sister just put in her deposit for school next year. I went last weekend to her accepted students day and am in love with the campus. It's very similar to PreppyU, minus the fact that it was 4 times bigger! I'm really proud of her, she definitely made the right choice.

Anyway how is everyone? It's supposed to be a wonderful weekend! We have a spring dance on Friday (we have a lot of dances, more than my highschool did! haha) so PBF will be coming up! Very excited to see him and celebrate! I also plan on staying outside as much as possible and heading to the nearby outlets (not serious shopping though.) I need to get moving on cleaning my room! Hope all is well!

Saturday Steal

So I'm a week late but last Saturday I went shopping looking for an outfit for my interviews on Thursday. We were at Lord and Taylor in the men's shoes section and they had Lacoste and Sperry slip ons (kinda like Vans) for only $15!!! So after PreppyBF bought his shoes, I wanted to go check out the Woman's dept. and see if they had any deals! This is what I came across:
guess how much I got them for!! $23 a pair!!!! I got them in the yellow and also white with navy trim. They were marked down to 30 but my coupon clipper mother had an all day savings pass so they got down to $23! Ridiculous. I was planning on splurging on these this summer but couldn't decide what colors to get. I guess my decision was made for me! It works out well though, the yellow matches a dress I'll be wearing to my sister's high school graduation. (Their colors are blue and gold so the fam will all be wearing one of the two, going to be a cute preppy Christmas picture!)

We also headed to another store to look for black pants. I ended up getting a Calvin Klein gray skirt that is fantastic and then basic black slacks. My mom and I both decided that we'll wait to buy me a suit until I know what kind of internship I'll have. Hopefully I'll find out soon.. we're headed to the Rehobeth outlets as soon as I get home for Easter Break! We're pretty hardcore shoppers haha..

As for the interviews, I think they went really well. I actually heard from the contact I used for the first interview and he said I was "very likeable" and if they have room in their budget/need for an intern they'll have me come back for another interview! The other interview was really relaxed, the director was wearing jeans and a backwards hat?? Weird I know.. I always am a little pessimistic but I think they liked me. The second place would be much more fun and a 15 minute commute versus about an hour. The first one would have a stipend and the second would be for credit. Whooo knows what'll happen! I'm still applying so maybe there'll be more opportunities around the corner! My dad also offered me a position with his firm which I might do part time to add to my resume some more! Time will tell what'll happen but I'll definitely keep you all in the loop! I probably won't go into detail about the companies since they're very easy to guess what they are though. Gotta stay top secret :-)

Today has been quite the lazy day.. I woke up to the sound of PreppyBF calling me at 12:30. I sat around until 1:30ish then got brunch with A. I had a belgium waffle and a black cherry propel. Usually I have a pepsi with waffles (weird I know) but I gave Pepsi up for lent! I started out giving up "colas" for Lent and it's evolved to giving up soda completely. It'll be 3 weeks on Tuesday being "soda sober" haha.. It's so hard, especially at home where it's either water or a can of soda. I usually get my mom to buy me Hawaiian Punch or some type of juice but the last two times I was home she forgot! Grrr..

After brunch I showered real quick and we hit up Rita's!! I used to only be able to get it on the Jersey shore but it's spread all over now! I have two at home and there's one close by to my school. I always get cherry gelatis... It's sooo good, would've been better if it was warm out. It's been misty and cold the whole day.

Anywayy I better clean up a little bit. PreppyBF just called me saying he'll be coming up tonight! I love surprise visits! He's the bestttt<3 I hope you lovely ladies enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I'm back and ready to rockkkk!

First off, I really want to apologize for keeping my dear readers out of the loop. It's been a crazy week. I'm at home, I have two internship interviews tomorrow and my laptop battery's about to die. I wanted to let you all know that things will start slowing down again soon and I promise I'll post more often. I have plenty of ideas and stories to share so there won't be any writer's block occurring any time soon! Aghh looks like my laptop's not going to make it through to the end of this post. I should go print out my resume and get ready for tomorrow! Wish me luck! Sleep well girls! Goodnight!!

Busy Bee!!

Hello ladiesss! Hope you all had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day! I had two presentations so it was fun to get through the day and enjoy it with the best friend.

It's been a busy week I'm sorry I haven't been good at keeping you in the loop! Next week is going to be even more crazy! I have an meeting with a PR firm next Thursday and an interview with another company. VERY excited.

I decided to come home for the weekend so I can get my outfit together and possibly scope out where I'm headed on Thursday. I'm at PreppyBF's house sitting on the couch typing away with his pug lying next to me. I got home in time for lunch and he made me this yummy pizza. Such a good boyfriend!

Anyway!! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I'll be shopping, heading to my brother's baseball game, and will probably be around town!

Summer is a month and a half away.

Aghh! After posting about how much I want spring to come, I realized that summer starts May 5th. Crazy. I don't have enough time to get the things I need to get done!

1. Lose weight- If I'm guarding/managing my water park this summer, I NEED to get back in shape. These Christmas lbs are not cute. I've been working out daily for the past two days (not much I know) but I really need to get this ball rolling. When I get back to school it's going to be studying, working out, and eating right. No vegging out in front of the tv for hours on end. It's not going to cut it anymore!
2. Get an internship- I've talked to my dad about this, he's talked to the PR firm that his company hired. Apparently they have a partner in D.C. that might have something for me.. we'll see about this, I'm not getting my hopes up though. I also plan on talking to my advisor who's a professional journalist, the career center, etc. Any PR ladies out there with some tips? Any PR/event planners out there looking for a summer intern??
3. Get better grades- Once again, I've started slacking. It was more going through the motions waiting for the next break. Now that it's almost over, I've hopefully caught a second wind and can get those grades up.

....this post really resembles my New Year's Resolutions post... sighhh....

I've been doing really well with Lent. I've given up Colas which has in turn meant giving up caffiene- it's been REALLY hard, especially during exam weeks when I get little to no sleep but totally worth it. I feel much better, let alone I'm much more conscious of what I'm drinking. Reese's peanut butter cups and Peanut M&Ms are also on the give-up list. I haven't been as tempted to eat them but I know when Easter comes around those Reeses peanut butter eggs have my NAME on it.

Anywayyy I better get to bed.. Preppyboyfriend is off of work tomorrow and taking care of his little sister (she's 12) who got her wisdom teeth pulled today. She's already eating pancakes and wants doughnuts tomorrow! (CHAMP) Maybe I'll take his family's pug for a nice walk, it's supposed to be 62 degrees here. Should be good walking weather for the pooch, any hotter and he likes to quit. Straight up sit on the sidewalk and give up. You'd have to pick him up or call the house for someone to drive over to pick you up! Silly puggy.. My family doesn't have a dog so he's the closest I have! How could you not looooove that faceee!!

Happy Friday bloggy friends! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and hope to hear from you all soon! Take care!
