The Ultimate Ice Cream Experience

COLDSTONE Excursion

If you hear Coldstone, does it make your mouth water? It should, because it’s only the best place to get the most delicious ice cream creations in the world! They have so many different flavors and every kind of mix-in you can think of. My friend Mandy, who is a Coldstone connoisseur, introduced me to the deliciousness at Coldstone my freshman year. After my first bite of the Founder’s Favorite creation, I realized I had found my favorite place to get ice cream! Since then, we [Mandy, her apartment mates, and I] have had Coldstone Dates where we go off campus and enjoy some amazing ice cream.


Today was one of those long awaited days, and we all piled into the car and headed off to the Coldstone Creamery in Charlotte. I got one of the new creations called Jack’s Creation. It was made of Marshmallow ice cream with OREO® Cookies, Chocolate Chips and Fudge. It was heavenly! Nothing makes your day like a big bowl of ice creamy goodness from Coldstone!

Dessert: My Favorite Word

This is for all of you who have a sweet tooth and believe that there is always room for dessert. Tonight was DESSERT NIGHT on Spangler 2nd Floor. On the menu: Oreo pie, chocolate chip cookies, M&M cookies, and homemade brownies! Everything was delicious. . . .
After getting our sugar fix, we started a game of Taboo. Many very colorful descriptions went around our Taboo circle, and the guesses were just as entertaining. In the 3rd round, I got some really hard words like Monica Lewinski, revolution, and .com. I didn’t realize .com was a word. . . . . and trying to describe Monica Lewinski . . . .would have just been too much. Nevertheless, my team ended up winning. Go Team 1! After a hard day of classes, all you need is a bunch of sugar!

Spangler 2nd Rocks!

The Votes Are In!

The Student Nurses Association (SNA) had a meeting today at noon to vote on officers. As a nominee for Vice President, I had to give a little speech about myself and why I’d be a good choice. After all the speeches, everyone voted.
As of today, I am Vice President of the Student Nurses Association for 2008-2009! I am thrilled about being an executive officer! I have been looking forward to getting involved with this organization since summer. SNA is an organization specifically for all Pre-Nursing, 1st Year, and 2nd Year nursing students at GWU. It gives nursing students the opportunity to use their skills to give back to the community through service learning projects and fundraisers. SNA also hosts fun non-nursing activities where members can hang out and relax. I have so many great ideas for this year, and I can’t wait to get started. It’s going to be an amazing year!!

The Birthday Girl

Nothing Says “Happy Birthday” Like Pancakes

Wow, so another year has begun and already I’m super busy! Working two jobs and being a nursing student definitely calls upon your time management skills. Yet, there is always room for some fun. Last Wednesday was my friend, Melia’s birthday. She decided that she wanted to have her birthday dinner at IHOP, which is great for two reasons. First, the chocolate chip pancakes at IHOP are awesome, and second on Wednesday’s GWU students get a 50% discount off their meal! At 8:30 pm, a huge group of us converged on the breezeway in between Spangler and Myers residence halls, and then carpooled our way to IHOP. We got there around 9 and didn’t leave till 11:30pm. There were about 20 in our group and only ONE waiter! Yet, I have to give him props because he served us well. He even got the cooks in the back to come sing Happy Birthday to my friend. Oh and of course, she got a free ice cream Sunday out of it! Enjoying a night filled with laughs and delicious pancakes, is a great way to relax!
