Last night I attended a screening of the new documentary to make Joseph Kony a household name.  Prior to this showing, I had never heard of Joseph Kony and didn’t know what he was doing.  Now that I know, I cannot just sit back and accept what is currently going on in Africa.  It is time for everyone to take action.  Watch this clip and share it with everyone you know.  Making him known can help stop what he is doing!

Take action.  #Kony2012

First semester DONE AND DONE.  It feels like it flew by yet at the same time so many memories have been made and friendships formed.

As I was looking through the photos on my phone trying to come up with a story to describe my time at Cornell so far, I realize how much has happened since those first few days I stepped on campus to where I stand right now.

I came to Cornell eager for a new experience and ready to embrace everything.  I didn’t know that the people I met would have already impacted me so much.  I didn’t understand how such strong relationships could be built in just a few months. And I certainly did not expect to have met such amazing people who are generous in their actions and always there for you.

Let’s start from the beginning.

We arrived and I took captured the view from the hotel room.  Silly me didn’t realize I would get to see that every day, Like this…

Oh my.

This amazing bagel fueled my long day of unpacking-CTB Bagel toasted with Tofutti cream cheese, lox, tomatoes, onions and capers.  Best bagel ever.  This bagel has also fueled late library nights.

That takes skill.

There was homecoming…

Where I might have looked like a candy cane…

We also went to apple fest and took cute pictures in this cage.  I have never had a better apple than the ones I got at Apple Fest.  Just saying.

Got dressed up for formalz…aren’t we bootiful?

BIG RED HOCKEY.  #Obsessed.

I also spent a weekend in NYC with fellow Hotelies for the Hotel Show

We ate Shake Shack after hearing the CEO speak to us

Got a tour of the Food Network

Where my friend and I thought we were TV Hosts…

Roamed around Central Park

\

And got all fancy for events

And enjoyed every moment

Happy Holidays at the Statler! Christmas trees make 8:40 am classes on Fridays more BEARable.

And nothing beats “family dinners” with my friends…

That’s just a brief glipse into the past few months and I hope to continue sharing photos (and hopefully recipes) in the future!

With love and cupcakes,
