Happy Easter

I hope everyone had as nice of a holiday as I did! One great thing about going to a Catholic school is that even though we just had spring break a few weeks ago, we manage to get a mini break for Easter. Stonehill closed on Wednesday afternoon so anyone with classes after 4:30 was excused for the day. Apart from a few of the sports teams who still have games, most students go home to see their friends and families.

Since my family is so far away I split my vacation between my boyfriends in Lexington and family friend in Rhode Island. I spent the first few days of break in Lexington. Even though I still had to work part of the time, the weather was BEAUTIFUL…70’s in April!! Needless to say I spent a lot of time relaxing outside. I also went to the Easter Vigil at a church in town. It is one of my favorite masses of the year. It is always such a beautiful service and this year's did not disappoint.

On Sunday I headed down to Rhode Island for a nice visit. I was worried with all the rain we had gotten I would not be able to make it down but thankfully, a few warm days last week dried up all the flooded roadways. My friend Kacie and I spent time walking the sea wall, and catching up on impending graduation plans. It was great to see her and her family.

Now that break is over it seems as if the graduation countdown has really begun. Most of my friends are still looking for jobs or waiting to hear back from grad schools. I still can not believe that in just over a month we will be Stonehill Alums rather than students.
