Weekend Recap & GTKY!

Friday- My roommates Jess, Rebecca and I did a little girl time running errands and such.  The girls wanted to go tanning and Jess had a free tan so she let me use it at Beach Bum Tanning.  I went in the platinum level bed for 8 minutes.  It's nuts how many freckles came out on my face in that short period of time.  Then we went to the Verizon store because Rebecca and I are looking to get the iPhone and it just came out in white!  Rebeccas studying abroad starting the end of August and the iPhone doesn't have international so she can't use it.  Plus, the iPhone 5 is "supposedly" coming out this October so I think I may wait.  Then we went to "Face Value" to look at nail polish!  I really think my extreme nail polish hoarding really revved up all because of them and their love for nail polish.  We did contain ourselves and walked out empty handed :)  We had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.  So delicious!! After a filling meal we came home to get beautified for a night out.  My best friend Heather came up (like she usually does) because Friday may be one of our last good, fun college nights out before the semester ends :(

Saturday: I came home for Steves Birthday!
I Love You Steve!  I went to his house so he could open his gifts. I forgot to take pictures :( ... I got him new Nike gym sneakers, plaid shorts and a Tshirt that says "Los Cabos".  My family gave him bathing suits, so he's all set for vacation now.  We watched the Yankees play against Toronto, Yankees won 5-4.  It was a good game! I was going to get Steve tickets for that game and I'm mad I ended up not getting them.  After the game we headed to the mall so he could return so clothes and look for things for vacation.  I ended up buying these items from New York & Company.
Tropical Paradise Maxi Dress
$41.96

Slubbed Sleeveless V-Neck Top with Ruffle Embellishment
$36.95

Chic Chain-Accented Bag
White Leather Handbag - $30.06

Plus, a floppy beach hat, a ring, and a K inital necklace.
All weren't pictured on the website.


In Express I purchased.
Scoop-Neck Dolman Tee
Color: Cannes  $29.90

Graphic Double Layer Cami
$44.90

Crossbody bag $39.90

I only went to Victoria Secret beause my surprise amount-off coupon was expiring.
I also had $10 off coupons, and a free panty coupon.
I bought 3 new pairs of underwear, an orange PINK tee not picured online, and PINK coral shorts.
Steve and I had a small dinner, we split a plate because we both weren't extremely hungry, then saw the new FAST 5 movie!!
Fast Five is full of beautiful cars, beautiful women and
GOREGOUS SEXY MEN!!
*PAUL WALKER* and VIN DIESEL!
Both of these men are truely so sexy in my eyes :)

I've been a huge fan of the "Fast and the Furious" movies since the beginning.  All of them are part of my "Favorite Movies." 
 Fast 5 didn't disappoint!! It's full of action, suspense, and good laughs.  There were so many toe-curling-moments!  I really enjoyed it and would recommend seeing it!

That was pretty much my whole weekend!

Thursday April 21, 2011 Here’s a shot of my speed growing sunflower.  I sound totally cheesy and corny when I talk about my sunflower and cactus (I wont bore you with cactus pictures because well its growth is as fast as a turtle ::yawn:: )

I was thinking of taking the flower home with me this weekend and planting it.  But then I can take pictures of it everyday because I’m not done at school just yet….  I’m a cornball to the MAX and I want to make a scrapbook page of my sunflower growing.  I’ll let you know what I do!

So let’s chat about more interesting FUN!

What is RUTGERSFEST??
”A yearly gathering of RU students and friends to celebrate the end of the school year. Drinking is a definite. Eating is a plus. After consumption of beer and food, bands in a lineup of mixed genres perform. It doesn't end there, unofficially, Rutgersfest continues on frat row and extends throughout campuses at house parties, dorms, bars, and restaurants.”

Basically RUTGERSFEST is the best day of the year to be a Rutgers student!  It’s what students talk about in September during the first full weeks of classes, and throughout the year when its becoming closer and closer and how drunk of their minds they plan on being.

Heather came up to Rutgers Thursday night after my night class and stayed over.  Friday we woke up at about 8:45 to my lovely alarm, got some Dunkin breakfast, and began getting our drink on about 10AM with our breakfast.  Beer pong followed shortly after breakfast.  The first teams up were Steve and I against my roommates Rebecca and Katie.  Steve and I DOMINATED them!! I don’t play pong that much, but my throwing was on point!
I was *WINNING* ahah!

The aftermath!!

**Rutgersfest is the best day of the year at college and due to out of control violence it is forever canceled!!  (Below is from a news article) READ IT!!**
”The chaotic celebration that is Rutgersfest: 11 people were arrested and four people were shot over the course of the one day event. And now, the school’s president has sent out an email saying Rutgersfest has been permanently cancelled.”
”The safety of our university community, and that of our neighbors, is paramount, and we cannot risk further danger or the possible loss of life. The problems that occur following Rutgersfest have grown beyond our capacity to manage them, and the only responsible course of action is to cancel the event," wrote Rutgers President Richard McCormick in an email to the campus community late yesterday, explaining why it was necessary to shelve the 30-year-old festival. An estimated 40,000 to 50,000 people attended the free event, including many high school and college students from other schools. Besides Snooki, there were boardwalk style carnival games, food booths and a concert featuring hip-hop artists Pitbull and Yelawolf and electronic-pop act 3OH!3.”
”Not that they'll necessarily get a chance to implement it with Rutgersfest now. Pete Mangarella, New Brunswick’s police director, called the free event "the worst thing of the year for the city of New Brunswick." Fights broke out during the event (you can see one particularly raunchy one below), and spilled into the city late at night after the event had finished. The injured teenagers, who were all male, included an 18-year-old who was shot once in each leg, a 19-year-old shot twice in the buttocks and another man grazed by a bullet on his hip. Two 17-year-olds were also hospitalized, one for a gunshot wound to the hip and another after being hit in the head with a bottle.”
It’s such a shame that a 30 year tradition has to be put to rest because of non Rutgers trash that came and ruined it for the future Rutgers classes.  Glad my last Rutgers fest was a good one!

My cousin Kelly’s new baby Elliot is turning 3 months old next week.  Kelly sent out new pictures of him.  I’m so inlove with him!  I can’t wait until he comes up from ATL to spend a long weekend in NJ!

Elliot is the cutest little leprechaun!


Sweepy!

Have a great Thursday ladies!!
