There's a first time for everything

And there's a time to get back to blogging, correct?

I apologize that its been awhile between posts. Recruitment happened - and anyone with even small connection to Greek Life knows what that means. I believe I worked nearly 40 hours in the span of 3 days.. thank goodness my fellow Sister of the Suitcase Morgan was here to keep me sane. Couldn't have gotten through the weekend without you, sister!

Now that I'm settling in to a more normal routine here in CT, I've had the opportunity to reflect on all that has been accomplished in the full month that I've been here. Theta Rho has experienced many firsts as a recently installed chapter; and I've experienced a number of firsts personally, as well!

Here's a few of the highlights:
1. First time living on my own
oh the Extended Stay... I'll admit, I'm growing pretty fond of it!

2. First time to the Merritt Canteen
Merritt is to SHU as to Memo's is to UW. Four words: fried mac & cheese bites.
3. First Dunkin' Donuts coffee
 They say America runs on Dunkin' - I say half of America runs on Dunkin', the other half has a Starbs IV drip. But maybe that's just the Seattlite in me.
 

4. First time stocking a full fridge entirely on my own
I actually really like grocery shopping. I always knew I was domestic.

5. First time in Rhode Island

 
6. First time in the Atlantic Ocean

7. First time on an Ivy League campus
Since being on the East Coast I have been on both Yale and Brown's campuses. Still waiting for all of that smartness to rub off on me...

8. First Edible Arrangement (but hopefully not the last - hint hint future husband)
 

9. First time going to spin class
but certainly not the last! Spoiler alert - I'm addicted.

10. First Alex & Ani purchase. And second, and third...
 
I know there are many more 'firsts' in store this semester - most notably, come this Friday it will be my first time being on the East Coast with my mom! That's right, Columbus Day weekend the Wolfe women are taking on New England and then NYC :) More (and more regular) updates to follow. Promise!

  2. I hope you have fun in New York!!! You should try to hang out/go to restaurants in the Meatpacking District and the West Village. The High Line is also near there and could be pretty if it's not too cold. If you want a more touristy but still awesome restaurant you can go to Ellen's Stardust Diner near Times Square. It's a 50s themed diner where all the wait staff sings. They are all off Broadway/Broadway or auditioning dancers/actors/singers. If I think of more things I'll let you know!!

  3. and if you really like asian food there's this place in Chinatown on Mott St. called Shanghai Cafe that is really good. [actual asian people eat there so maybe that's a testament to how good it is haha]. One of the items on their menu is tiny hot buns, or something like that, and they are delicious soup dumplings.
