Last Friday, I wrote a post about a few of my favorite things; here’s part 2! Three more random things I love include…
My Nook
For Christmas this past year, my fiancé got me a Nook, & I love it! I love the convenience & portability of an e-reader; I’ve been able to take it with my everywhere this summer to keep myself occupied as I was forced to play the waiting game on many occasions!
Currently on my Nook? The Hunger Games & the current issue of Shape magazine!
The Kennedys
Nerd alert! Ever since a family vacation to Cape Cod in the Summer of 2006, I’ve be fascinated by the Kennedys!
My family & I were on a boat tour that took us near the Kennedy compound, & then we went to the JFK Hyannis Museum where my interest was really peaked! If you don’t know much about this family, & you’re a “history buff,” I’d suggest doing some research – there are some good stories behind this family! Here are a few pictures from our peek at the family’s land:
Obviously, they don’t let people get too close! 😉
College
I think I mentioned this in a post a while back, but I went to the University of Delaware & loved every minute of it!
Delaware was the perfect fit for me. It was close to home, but not too close. The campus is beautiful & centered around an adorable Main Street. And of course, there was lots of yummy food readily available (which I’m sure is the case at most colleges). I attended UD from 2004-2008, & was an active member of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority – such a fun time!
Where did YOU go to school?
For the Sake of Cake 
I’ll be starting my freshman year at Boston College on August 27th 🙂
Go Eagles!
Enjoy it!
I went to Boston College and loved it as well – I still want to go back!
Me too! I didn’t appreciate college life enough while I was there!
I went to Roanoke College where I was an Alpha Sigma Alpha 🙂 We’re sisters!!!!!
Ahhh that’s crazy!
Gosh, all of this Kindle love is making me re-think my firm stance against them! As a Literature professor, I just ache at the thought of losing the tangible experience of holding a book and creasing back the pages!
I went to the College of William and Mary. I loved it! I got married at the Wren Chapel on campus, where my husband proposed. We have vowed to go back every single year to visit and we do!
I love UD. I remember applying there for my Ph.D. They have an awesome English department!
I was skeptical about getting a Nook myself! I really, really like it though!
William & Mary has a beautiful campus! I visited the campus when I was on vacation in VA with my family.
I went to school at a university in Kansas…. Fort Hays State…. Yep, noone has ever heard about it, but it was GREAT! I loved college, I do wish I would have made more time for fun though. Too much studying was done… HA!
Same here!
I LOVE my nook!! 🙂
I went to school at the University of Memphis. I really miss it too, especially our basketball games. If someone wanted to pay me to go back to school I would SO do it. My dad prob wouldn’t like that idea…
Agreed! That would be awesome!
I went to Nazareth College in Rochester, New York (tiiiiny school!) and am continuing there for grad school this fall! So excited.. i love it!
Ooh good luck with grad school. I’m working on my Masters as well.
Erica!!
I came across your blog and I love it!
I love the healthy recipes!!
CONGRATS to you and Chris! Have so much fun at your wedding.
Oh yeah and the post about Delaware and ASA made me smile beyond belief!

I’m so glad you like it Jacqui!
I miss Delaware & ASA so much; especially the house! 🙂
