EM SA NA MMM

I don't do well with all this touchy-feely saying goodbye, so writing all these blogs is a triumph for me. This is also a little silly because I am positive that we will all see each other after our time at SHM has ended (in exactly 15 minutes). Not to be cliche, but it's been a great "journey." And in a lot of ways I feel like it was a journey because it seems like so much more than 6 months that we've spent together. First we were lost and wandering around here like idiots, and now we all grew into our comfort zones. And I can't believe it's only been like a month and a half since Meredith has re-joined the family. Time really flies. When I was interviewing here, I was a measly sophomore. Now I am getting ready for my pre-junior/junior year of college... upperclassmen!

Emily - Even though you are the bullyee sometimes, you take it all so well. You have a great personality, always optimistic and so cheerful. I mean some things about you are a little weird like... you wake up at the buttcrack of dawn to work out and you can only fit four marshmallows in your mouth. You're always there to help out a friend and listen to what they have to say. Aside from that, you are a little worker bee, and I really admire your work ethic. After attending Fashion Week and some fashion tips from yours truly (and your sister), I hope I've taught you a thing or two as well. I hope that SHM will be as fabulous without us, but I really don't see how... No worries, see you Tuesday at 9:30AM. Save me a seat.

Samantha - Sitting next to you and only you has been quite the experience... to say the least. I'm really glad that we've had a chance to cross paths in our time at Drexel. Because somebody had to come along and put you in your place. Note: Don't use that attitude if you don't know how to take some of your own medicine. Ya heard? Aside from that, there are so many other good things about you that I barely think about your sass. Like the fact that you rep South Jerz, those beautiful green eyes, the ability to speak up and say what's on your mind... among other things. I will definitely miss all the funny things you say and do, especially in your gangsta tone. Oh Sammy...

Natasha - Thank goodness someone at this table has even heard of YSL. I thought I was going to go crazy. You are hilarious and say the darnedest things sometimes that make me chuckle. It was nice to work so closely with a designer because I've always had a strong interest in that area. I hope that you decide to work with the Drexel Marketing Association during the Fall term, and that I will get to see you around. Just because you are a senior, you can't slack off in forgetting your buddies! Keep on doing what you do best - being you and not letting anyone stop you. You are truly a force to be reckoned with. And if I ever make it in the fashion industry, I will keep VLam in mind and give all the thanks to you!

Meredith - I am so very glad that you decided to come back and that we met you. You've been great at helping me with a lot of my work - so thanks! And being a guide and a friend to us while we've been here. I am sorry that we did not have an official farewell... but we can hang out at Drexel? Just throwing that out there... Also, if you ever decide to move, please put me at the top of the list for your sweet baller pad. Keep in touch and keep us updated on all the M&M dirt.
