June 28th - June 29th was my Freshman Orientation at Clemson!
IT WAS AWESOME. At first, it was a little hectic, but otherwise it was really organized. We were there from around 8 in the morning on the first day to 4 in the afternoon the second day. We did a lot of important things. There were a lot of different meetings/information sessions. Also, we got our ID card pictures and signed up for the meal plan and etc. I also spent the night in one of the dorms there.
I met so many great fellow members of the class of 2014. I am so excited to go there! It's an amazing place to be. Yay Clemson 2014!

Graduation Party!
My graduation party was this past Saturday, June 19th! It was about 85 degrees or so and sunny. We had the most perfect day for it!!! =]
We found out that Olive Garden "caters" parties, so we got all of the food from there! The food was absolutely amazing.
It was so wonderful to see so many people at my party. Thanks for coming! I hope that you all had a good time.
With Love and Joy,
Amy

GRADUATION!
This past Tuesday, June 8th, was my high school graduation!!! Yay Bishop Eustace Prep High School Class of 2010.
It was the most beautiful night for it too. We got SO lucky. =] It was a very nice ceremony, and it's amazing to finally be done! I'll really miss it. I know, that sounds crazy. But, it's true! It's been a very long and winding road. But, it's totally been worth it.
This song will always make me think of a new chapter of life. It's not the end, it's just a new beginning. It's the perfect graduation song:
Best Days by Graham Colton
With everything I've ever done
I'd give it all to everyone for one more day
Another night I'm waking through
Anther door I walk intro
I can't break
It's a winding road
It's a long way home
So don't wait for someone to tell you it's too late
Cuz these are the best days
There's always something tomorrow
So I say let's make the best of tonight
Here comes the rest of our lives
I count the steps the distance to
The time when it was me and you is so far gone
Another face another friend
Another place another end but I'll hang on
It's a winding road
It's a long way home
So don't wait for someone to tell you it's too late
Cuz these are the best days
There's always something tomorrow
So I say let's make the best of tonight
Yeah let's make the best of tonight
Here comes the rest of our lives
It's a winding road
It's a long way home
So don't wait for someone to tell you it's too late
Cuz these are the best days
There's always something tomorrow
So I say let's make the best of it
So don't wait cuz no-one can tell you it's too late
Cuz these are the best days
There's always something tomorrow
So I say let's make the best of tonight
Yeah let's make the best of tonight
We'll make the best of tonight
Here comes the rest of our lives

Proms, Baccalaureate, & More!
May 27th, 2010 was my prom! ~ Bishop Eustace Prep School Senior Prom 2010 ~ was...amazing! It was held at the Mansion in Voorhees, NJ. I felt like a princess all night. If you have me on facebook, definitely check out the pictures! It's a memory that I will never forget.
June 4th, 2010 was my boyfriend's prom! ~ Haddonfield Memorial High School Senior Prom 2010 ~ was...really good! It was also held at the Mansion. I was in love with my dress just like my other one.
June 6th, 2010...Ah, what wasn't on June 6th?! It was Recognition Sunday at my church. My youth group leader had the most beautiful speech about me and the other senior in the YG. She also gave us both "keepsake" boxes with our names and Class of 2010 engraved on it. Also, there is a picture of the church in the frame of it. Inside, there were many quotes about life in it. I will treasure it forever. =]
Later that afternoon, Baccalaureate Mass was at St. Isaac Jogues in Marlton. It was a very nice "ceremony." =]
Finally, after that, one of my closest and oldest friends and I went to our old friend's graduation party. It was such a sweet reunion!!!
Well, as you can see, I have been quite busy lately. But, it's definitely all good stuff.
With Joy,
Amy

Last Day of High School! & Etc.
Last Friday (May 21st) was my last day of high school! Looking back, I cannot believe how fast all four years went. It's absolutely unbelievable.
People have asked me a lot about how I feel about it. I always say that it's bittersweet, which it definitely is. I am both happy and sad to be leaving high school for different reasons.
This week (Monday - Wednesday) is when the senior's final exams are! Fortunately, I only have to take three of them, so it isn't too too bad. My last one is tomorrow afternoon. Then, I am officially done with classes. Hooray! =]
Also, this past Saturday (May 22nd) I went to see Tristan race in the New Jersey Scholastic Rowing Championships at the Cooper River! He did such a great job, and wound up getting a silver medal. It was his best race of his high school time. (He's in a single boat.) I wish that I had not forgotten my camera in his parent's car, or I would have definitely taken pictures. =/ But, his parents did! (Hopefully they'll be up on facebook soon.)
I hope that all is well. Summer is almost here!!!
Blessings,
Amy

HAPPY EASTER!
Greetings from Charleston, South Carolina!
Wow, a lot has happened since I last posted. I'll try to make it a more regular thing now.
Anyway, spring break has officially started!!! So, my family and I left around 8 in the morning yesterday to go to this great city - Charleston. We are here to re-visit 2 of my top 3 schools so that I can finally make my college decision.
Today, we spent the day walking around this absolutely beautiful place. (This is the 3rd time we've been here. Most people would think that we would be tired of seeing it. Nope. Not a chance of that! This city never gets old!) We had "dinner" at S.N.O.B. - Slightly North of Broad. It's an incredible restaurant, and I would highly recommend it to anyone coming to Charleston.
Well, tomorrow is the day that I turn the big 1 - 8!!! I'm so excited. In the morning, I am meeting with an advisor from to School of Ed. at the College of Charleston. In the afternoon, I am meeting up with a freshman and "shadowing" her for the day. I will be attending 2 of her classes. I'll probably be done with all of this "business" stuff around 2. We'll just hang out and explore the rest of the day. Later that night, we're going out to eat at my favorite restaurant here - Bocci's! I cannot think of a better place to spend my birthday! =]
I hope that everyone has had a blessed Easter. This is perhaps one of my favorite quotes from the Bible: For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have ETERNAL LIFE. ~ John 3:16
With Love, Peace, Joy, & Hope,
