The story of My roomate and I

I am so lucky to have grown up with someone who compliments my personality as much as my roommate has. ever since our first conversation in kindergarten, we have been inseparable and the definition of a package duo.

Lauren and I met in 2009 in kindergarten at Holy Ghost School. We became friends almost instantly and would talk and mess around all day. all the teachers knew to not sit us near each other in class because we couldn't help but laugh all class. A specific memory I have is in 2nd grade we were moved across the classroom, as always, and we couldn't stand not communicating anymore. we decided to start passing notes to each other, drawing funny pictures, and saying jokes only we would find funny. one day it was obvious that we were up to something when Lauren and I were disruptively giggling from across the room. e got caught but that didn't stop us from constantly talking. we remained best friends through 7th grade, but then we found out our grade school was closing and we may not be able to graduate together. everyone in our class went their separate ways for 8th grade, but Lauren and I were able to convince our parents to send us both to St. Philips. We became closer as we entered this scary new environment together, and then got to graduate middle school together!

High School was a bit tough because as much as we tried, going to the same high school wasn't going to work out. we stayed in touch and hung out sometimes, but the 20-minute drive and new lifestyles made it a little difficult. we hung out a little less because life got in the way, but then we got amazing news: at the end of sophomore year in his school, Lauren was moving right across the street from me! this reconnected our inseparable bond and brought us close together again. For college, we were both looking to stay close and after visiting a few colleges, we found North Central, and both really enjoyed it here. we became roommates and I have no idea how we aren't tired of each other anymore, but I would not trade the friendship we have for the world

Open topic blog!

For an open topic, I have to choose my dog cappuccino! Cappuccino, or "Chino" is my best friend and my sister! being an only child was pretty tough growing up and I got lonely at times but on Christmas in second grade when I met her for the first time I knew my life changed. we got cappuccino when she was only 4 weeks old and I was 7 so we grew up together and I wouldn't trade it for the world. we named her cappuccino because she is a light brown color just like the coffee with some white on the top of her head and white paws. it kind of looks like she walked in froth! we are also a very Italian family so it was pretty on brand! I bought Chino a backpack to ride in and I love it because I can take her everywhere I go! she tore her ACL but we love going on adventures so it was a great fix. she got surgery now but she still loves to ride in he backpack like the princess she is.

my favorite food

Food brings me so much joy and always has new things to discover. Of all the food I have tried, these are my favorites: The vodka pasta from Mio Modo in St. Charles, the veggie combo sushi roll from Jewel Osco, and the margarita pizza from Elios in Addison. I like the vodka pasta from Mio Modo because it has a sweeter taste while still having the savory flavor of the vodka sauce. the sauce is very creamy and thick because of all the cheese that is perfectly mixed in. They then top it off with parsley which not only adds to the look but a subtle flavor. My second favorite dish being sushi is very ironic because I am allergic to sushi. The veggie sushi that I am referring to obviously doesn't contain any raw fish. It has avocado, carrots, and cucumber. this is normally all that is in veggie sushi rolls, but at Jewel Osco, they put sweet soy, and sriracha sauce drizzled on top, and then crunchy onions on top. This makes me feel included when all my friends get the...

Week 2 Assignment

WEEK 2 Q: post your current favorite image from your smartphone and write why you like it A: My current favorite image on my smartphone is a very recent picture. It was taken a few days after i moved into my college dorm and gained full independence over my choices! It was around 4:00 pm when my roommate saw that one of our favorite bands, the Lumineers, were playing in Milwaukee, 2 hours away. normally, this information would be useless because we were under our parents roofs and talking them into it would have taken too long, but this was different. we were able to decide for ourselves that we were going to go and it felt awesome. this picture was taken after the concert and i feel that it radiates pure joy and happiness. in the photo, the bright colors above us pop and amplify the positive energy. the people behiemd us aere moving, but we are stopped, enjoying the moment with big smiles.
