A Few Of My College Buds

My first year in college I was not a happy camper. I was so homesick and I hated everything about the small school that I went to. This past year things changed. I became an RA and met some great people, people who I can't imagine living without now. Everyone who I know at college is always looking to do something to have fun and everyone is always behind you in whatever you want to do. People push you and people care about you. It is a great world that I have found. Thank you guys for being as wonderful as you are!! This is Shannon and me. I met Shannon toward the end of my Junior year in college. blockquote>


Andy is one of the coolest guys on campus. He has turned out to be someone that I know I can rely on, even if its late at night and I just need a friend to talk to. He has one of the best personalities that I have ever known and he is just one of those people who makes you feel so good about yourself. Whenever I am around Andy I know that my life is going to be ok. I know that I have a true friend in him and I enjoy every minute that we are together. By the way, NO BODY FUCKS WITH SPIKE!


This is a group shot taken one afternoon when we were moving our friend Amie into her new room. A.J. is on the left. He is a cutie and a really good guitar player! I love to listen to him sing and play. Next is Kimmy. She is one of my good friends girlfriends. She is a lot of fun to hang out with and I like to spend time with her. She is amazing because she doesn't care about what people think of her. Kelly is next. Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, you learn about her later! Chip, someone who I have recently grown to love. He is so much different than my first impression of him. He is a great guy to talk to because of his great listening skills, and understanding nature. Need an ear, find Chip. And, of course, thats me in the front row :-)


Shavonne is one of the most amazing people I have ever known. I think that I found a friend in Shavonne the first time that I really talked to her. She is easy to talk to and so interesting to listen to. We both spend way too much time on the internet, probably doing things that our parents wouldn't be proud of, but hey, we are having fun. I am going to be lost in the fall because I wont have anyone to hang with. She decided that she had to move off campus. Our RA meetings will be boring for me without her there cleaning her purse and distracting me. I am sure that we will still make it to the gym together though! ;)


Kelly was another one of my girls. This picture was taken at the beautiful falls next to our college. One thing we learned on that trip: There is a reason that the sign says, "DONT FEED THE DUCKS!" Kelly is a great person and I know I will love her forever. She is one of those people who you can count on in life to be there for you. Besides, if I didn't have her as a friend, where would I get my toothbrushes from????


Kimi has become one of my best friends in college. I never thought that her and her friends liked me too much because I was just a little freshman to them the year we met. We always have fun together and we spend lots of time dreaming of the perfect guy and the perfect life. We are both into shopping so we spend alot of time at the mall. I learned one thing last semester about Kimi, and that was none other than she has a hard head! I thought that I would go ahead and head butt her one night, and it was a mistake. I am so sorry Kimi! I love you!!!!!!!!!


Meet Mike. Mike is a great person. He is fun to hang out with and is always looking to have a good time. I know that he will do well in life because he has a personality that leads to great things. I dont know where I would be without Mike in my life!


Steve is one of the greatest people I know. He has helped me through more than he could ever know. When I was dealing with some serious things in my life he was there and he just listened, never judged me. He was my favorite RA and still is one of my favorite people. I miss him sometimes more than he ever knows. I am honestly not sure that I would have made it through my Junior year in college without him. He was there and he always knew just what to do. I thank you Steve for all the nights that you sat with me and all the times you cared about me. You helped to make me the person I am. I love you lots and dont want to lose you ever!



Where do I start? You cant really tell who we are, and that night, we liked that. It was Halloween at our college and we had a little dance costume party thing. We weren't going to go but a couple hours before it started we decided we wanted to. We headed off to the dollar store and bought everything we saw we thought we could somehow wear. We called ourselves the Caped Christmas Critters. On our back we had put the word HO. So when we were together we were HO HO HO but when we were alone we were just HO's! It was a fun night for me!



This guy with me is my friend Paul. I never really knew Paul all that well until one night when I asked him to go to a Sabres game with me. I guess we really hit it off that night cause I adore Paul now. He is so much fun, and easy to talk to. He is a down-to-earth kind of guy and I know that if I have a problem I can call and he will listen. He only gets mad at me when I call him at latenight to say hi, just because I had been drinking. WHOOPS! Thanks Paul for being there!



These two people with me are "Q" and Dawn. They are both RA's with me and great friends as well. I have spent numerous nights drinking with them, and mainly making an ass out of myself. Q is one of the funniest people I have met in a long time. His smile lights up a room and can make other people smile just because. Dawn is one of the sweetest people I know. She is always willing to listen and be a friend. When I am with the two of them I know life is going to be ok for at least a few more hours!
