"  It seems as if I just started my freshman year at NYU yesterday. Packing up to leave my dorm room and saying goodbye to the friends I love was harder and stranger than I&amp;#039;d ever expected. I know I&amp;#039;ll be back in the city so much this summer, but leaving my freshman dorm building as well as my new group of best friends made me feel so... odd. I never realized how close and attached I could get to a place I live so quickly, and when everyone said that I&amp;#039;d meet my true friends in college they were totally right! Walking into my kitchen and having my doggy run at my feet with kisses made it feel as if I never left. My family and I celebrated Mother&amp;#039;s Day with a little shopping and lots of love. We are always up for an adventure, but coming home and cuddling on the couch is the best part of the day together.  The sunshine-y day was absolutely perfect, so of course Nick and I had to go on an adventure outside! We went to a little old fashioned town on the border of New Jersey and Pennsylvania and were blown away! (Almost: It was SO WINDY!) There were so many antique and vintage stores to play around in, as well as some cute little duckies to observe by the water while we sipped iced coffees! So overall, it feels wonderful to be home. I had an amazing freshman year full of ups, downs, and EVERYTHING in between. I miss college life, but certainly feel at ease now that exams and the stress of the city are away for a bit. I loved my premier year of college, without a doubt, but now it&amp;#039;s time to play and enjoy being a kid again while I can! So much love! Have a great summer!
