Weekend Wonder

This week is an exciting one for many reasons -- and it has nothing to do with the (not so exciting) snowstorms NYC has already experienced.  Two major world events are taking off this very Thursday and Friday: the opening games of the 2014 Winter Olympics, and the kickoff of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week! Whether you love sports or fashion, there's a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy. Personally, I'm super excited for both! I discovered I really enjoy watching the Olympics during the 2012 summer games in London, so I'm definitely going to watch the winter games this year. And working in the fashion industry has given me a hands on look inside some of the hard work, amounts of detail, and weeks of planning that go into creating successful runway shows for fashion week, so there's nothing like seeing some of your hard work pay off. Can't wait for the end of the week!

Cheers to the New Year!

Wow. So another year has came and went. It's hard to believe that time passes by as quickly as it does. It's finally time to say goodbye to 2013 and welcome in a brand new year filled with hopes, wishes, and dreams coming true.

This year was a pretty big one for me, one of my best so far, I think. I had a lot of new experiences and milestones that I'll always remember. I graduated college, left the country for the first time, travelled abroad and experienced three completely different cultures, made new friends, went swimming and tubing in the Mediterranean Sea, took roadtrips with my friends, started a new job, visited a place I've always dreamed of seeing, travelled to the west coast, dyed my hair for the first time, swam dipped my feet in the Pacific Ocean, spent time with distant relatives, got a new puppy, saw the Transiberan Orchestra, took a roadtrip with my Grandparents, went on my first cruise, planted a garden and had an internship in a field I discovered I love.

Despite the minor setbacks and mildly poor experiences that I experienced in 2013, it was overall pretty fantastic. As for 2014, I'm making steps towards my career goals, bettering my quality of life and maintaining positive relationships with the ones I love.  Here's to another great year with tons more memories and great things to share.
