" Being home is great, don&amp;#039;t get me wrong. I love my house and family, but lets face it, home isn&amp;#039;t home without your friends, and most of mine are still in college! So after moping around the house for a week, trying to find a job (keep your fingers crossed about Anthropologie!), I decided to go on a much needed road trip! Two of my best friends go to school at UMASS - Amherst and Brown University, and they both happen to lie on a convenient path. Thank goodness, because without a job I&amp;#039;m low on gas money. My first stop was seeing Suzanne at UMASS. I was so excited, I Skyped with her almost every week and heard all about her friends. She saw my car come into the parking lot and pretty much sprinted down to meet me - it was the best hug ever! She introduced me to her roommate (who is awesome by the way, Suzanne is so lucky! Hi Lainey!) and all her hall mates. It was so cool to meet the new friends she had made and to see how she was in a new environment. We hung out all day and then had a super fun holiday party that night - Christmas music and movies galore (Suze was Rudolph)! I can&amp;#039;t wait for her to come home next week, but now it was time for me to visit my friend Jen at Brown! I didn&amp;#039;t know anything about Brown before I went, other than that Emma Watson goes there, so it was great to get a tour from someone who knows it so well. I got to meet all of Jen&amp;#039;s friends from the Crew Team (she&amp;#039;s a coxswain on the girls team there), including a bunch of really cute crew boys. We hung out in her room all night talking and watching movies.  It was so great to get to see some of my best friends from high school with their new friends. I think I&amp;#039;m lucky to have gotten the chance to do this - most people all get out of school around the same time so don&amp;#039;t get to visit each other! We will all be re-united next week, but until then I hope everyone&amp;#039;s finals go well! I can&amp;#039;t wait to meet people at Skidmore and then have everyone come visit me!  xx Kelsey P.S. Update about the boy from my last entry - we talk every night. We are going to try and see each other over beak, so we&amp;#039;ll see what happens! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
