Welcome to the future of Notre Dame!

It's orientation time!

Welcome to NDMU's class of 2018! I decided to stop by after my shift to orientation tonight! I can't wait to have these girls on campus in the fall.

Woohoo gators! 

Look at my little Wendi all grown up as an OL! 

And my little Sam!

A summer of new beginnings

Happy summer ladies! 

I know I have been MIA all spring semester but it really was a hectic end to the year. I survived my first year of nursing school and have moved on to a nursing internship (most of my buddies in nursing did too! We're at UMMC, JHB, MUMH, UMSJMC, UMUCMC, the VA...we're all over the place!) I am spending my summer and then my last year of nursing school in the M/SICU department. It's been an exciting start to my summer!

Haha I call this "the locker shot" because I was thinking about house, Greys anatomy, Hawthorne RN, three rivers, and all the medical dramas while I was sitting on a bench in the locker room after a fantastic 12.5h shift. 

...and yet some things never change. I am back on campus for a class, Women in Islam, for my religious studies minor. After having such a tough semester the last thing I want to do is worry about another class so thankful this is only for 5 weeks. And knowing me, I'd rather be posting on here than writing my research paper...whoops. Lol oh well, it's been a month since I got on here anyway. 

Wish me luck and hopefully ill be on here more often. 

If you've been following my blog, can you believe I'll be a senior in the fall?! Crazy how time flies...

Happy early birthday Liz

Woo hoo melting pot!

It's Bal'more, hon!

Student Life in collaboration with the School of Nursing and the Psyc Department hosted our own mini flower parade. Apparently it's a long standing tradition of creating...err...eccentric, unique hats from flowers. After our nursing research class today my class went into the dining hall to take time to be crafty (and get extra credit on the quiz we just took haha!). Check it out :)

Haha, Audrey making faces at me.

Mmm! Lemon sugar and peppermint stick...another Bal'more favourite! 

Let the judging begin. Olivia got a little ballerina creative

They're so cute!

Taylor, our gran prize winner!

A beautiful day for an open house

It's a beautiful day at Notre Dame. Won't you come visit us? 

I'm having way too much fun with these extra balloons!

Take back the night!

Take Back the Night is an annual event, observed throughout   the United States as well as internationally, that brings community members together to speak out about sexual violence, relationship violence, and other forms of interpersonal violence. Take Back the Night provides an opportunity for community members to proclaim that each individual has the right to live free from violence and for the voices of those who have been affected by violence to be heard.
