(In no particular order)
2. Virginia Beach. Well any beach for that matter. I am a born and bred beach bum. I constantly have sand all over my car and a beach chair in my trunk. I may complain about VB often but I have spent many days basking in the sun on its many beaches. Life could be worse, I could be landlocked.
3. Classic Rock. If you have ever had the privilege of being in the car with me then you already know that the only stations I listen to are classic rock. My mom thinks that in a former life I may or may not have been a hippie. Don't get me wrong, I love country and everything else, but music isn't the same as it was back then, no one can debate that. I highly suggest never playing the "guess the name of the song/artist" game with me because you will always lose, I promise you.
4. My Oh So Amazing Sorority. If you have had the chance to meet/hang out with my amazing sisters, you are lucky. If you have not, you are definitely missing out. As all of you know I am a sorostitute to the core, and these lovely ladies are helping me become the woman I am going to be some day. These Real Strong Women are the epitome of class, fun, and individuality. Unfortunately I cannot post a picture of these lovely ladies due to Panhellenic, so you'll just have to meet them and find out for yourself!
6. Driving with the windows down. Ever since I can remember I always used to beg my rents to let us have the windows down whenever we were in the car. I love the breeze and the wind blowing my hair. Cliche I know, but if it is above 50 degrees, I probably have my windows down.
7. My Family! (sorority fam and blood) I don't know what I would do without my dearest mother, sister, and brother. They are my rock, they have celebrated me at my best, and definitely seen me at my worst. They are my motivation and the greatest people I know, and they have to spend the rest of their lives with me, they probs deserve an award for having to do that. Some of you know, most do not, that my dad passed on the summer before of my senior year of high school, and it has only brought my family closer together, it is a constant reminder that you should never take anything or anyone for granted, but I also am now a firm believer in that Everything Happens for a Reason.
9. Retail Therapy. What girl doesn't love shopping? If you don't, then I'm seriously questioning your gender. I don't know what it is, but shopping can change my mood immediately. I think we can all agree that its good for our wardrobe, but not our bank accounts. Especially when you are a prepster like myself. My friends have told me on more than one occasion that my children are going to be the ones in Lilly and baby Sperrys. Im not going to deny it, my children will probably be the ones with monogrammed everything and I do not have any problems with it.
11. The Big Apple. The city where dreams are made of. Every girl my age dreams of moving to New York City and finding love and success, yadda yadda yadda, but the only difference between myself and all the other girls is I'm actually going to do it. I thrive in environments where there is stuff constantly going on, so NYC is definitely the place for me. Eat your heart out Carrie Bradshaw, Im coming to take your place in a few short years.12. Sex and the City. Speaking of Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City is my obsession. I have seen every episode and it is just fabulous. The style, the stories, the guys, are all perfection. HBO did something right. I also love Sex and the City because I have a miranda, charlotte, and samantha of my own. You know who you are ;) I like to think of myself as a combo of Charlotte and Carrie. Guys you probably have no idea what Im talking about, its a girl thing.
13. Sports Movies. Love 'em! Anything from Jerry Maguire to Remember the Titans, to For Love of The Game and everything in between. I've just about seen them all, and re-watch them all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love a chick flick, and can never get enough of Wedding Crashers, but something about a story line involving overcoming obstacles as a team, success, and winning draw me in.
15. Last but not least, Great Times with Great Friends. Can't forget about the people who are always there for you can ya? But seriously, hanging out with friends is the best form of medicine, it warms the heart, and makes you a better person. It could be just hanging out doing nothing, going on a road trip, or raging, being around the people you love is my favorite thing of all. I'll try not to forget about yall when I become famous and successful ;)
"Here's a toast. To the good days, the better friends. The ones that you just can't live without. The people that have taught you how to party. How to live. How to have a good time just sitting around. Here are to the people that no matter how bad things seem, are going to be there for you. To lean back on and catch you if you fall."
Sorry this post was kinda long, but lets be real, you know you enjoyed it!
