"i owe my life to the people that i love..." ~~ ani difranco

Group shot in Michael's room! This is from last year...we had a blast hangin out on the 4th floor together! From the bottom going clockwise...we have Jim, Greg, Marguerite, Michael, Kristy and me! We all had lots of fun hangin out together -- i definitely miss those times!

Jim! Jim's great...a little crazy...a little scary, but a good guy. Always there to give you a hug if you need it...or to just hang out and talk till 4am. I'm glad we're still friends from last year. He's definitely a special guy!

Here's my buddy Greggrrrs with our friend Debbie! Greg's one of the sweetest guys i know...and a great writer! I'm glad we've gotten to be such close friends. I don't know what i'd do without him! We've had some crazy nites and some crazy conversations...but he's awesome! And i know we've got lots of funtimes ahead of us next semester!

Here's my other friend Greg and Kristy! Another interesting day on the 4th floor of Tyson. We all had a blast together But it's good to know that i've still got all my 4th floor buds as friends this year. I'd miss them too much if i didn't!

Here's Emily (the blond), Me, and Jenny (in our laps). I met these girls in the fall of freshman year and we're still great friends. I love these girls to death! We always have a good time together, and i know i can count on them whenever i need them!

Here's Mar and Kristy -- my girls! I met these two last year when they wanted to borrow a video, and we've been great friends ever since! They're both hysterical...they crack me up! :) They're great listeners, and they give great advice!

Here's Eric and Michael on our last nite together before the summer. They're both great guys...Michael's my best friend at school. I love him to death! He's such a great guy...extremely supportive. I don't know how i'd survive the "west chester insanity" without him! And I met Eric towards the end of the spring semester last year, and we got to be friends right away. He's such a sweet guy!

Karen got out all these burger king crowns at the end of last year, so we all had to get our pictures taken in them! Here we are in the lobby. Left to right we have...Greg and Michael in the back and Jess, Karen, and me in the front.

Mar and Shauna! this picture was taken in Michael's room while they stood on his roommate's bed. I miss Shauna! We spent many crazy nites stayin up late with Jim. She's not back at school this year...and i miss her! But we still keep in touch somewhat!

Karen and I got to be friends at the end of last semester when we realized how alike we were. It's scary. She's a great listener and she's always there to tell me that it's okay to be screwed up. We have issues, obsess constantly, but we always have a good time. Plus she shares my awesome taste in music -- She loves Tori, Ani, Mazzy, and Fiona!!

That's me in the yellow, Michael, Kristy (front) and Marguerite! These three are great people. I'm so privileged to have them in my life. I feel like last semester brought us all so close. We've had the best times together, and this year's been no different. We're all still close and having as much fun together as we used to!

many more pics to come!
