Graduation

So sorry avid senioritis blog followers for my tardy post. I graduated on Sunday and so was too depressed all day yesterday to write. I am always sad to leave all my friends and go home for the summer, but this year is even worse knowing that I will not be coming back. Binghamton has treated me well these past four years and it will be harder to leave behind than I ever could have imagined. As I begin to pack up my room and watch my closest friends leave I can't help but feel that the best four years of my life thus far are over, and that even though I will keep in touch with my bestest buds, most of the friendships I have made here are over. I know I must look towards my bright future and not the past, but that is becoming increasingly hard as my friends make collages and slideshows to relive our college experience. A good friend reminded me that I have a job for the summer and got into law school so I have nothing to be sad about, but while this may be true it does not calm the fear and sadness washing over me. I am nervous to leave college where the living was oh so easy and become a real person. I am terrified to enter the real world with seemingly never ending responsibilities and obstacles to overcome. That being said I must remember one of my favorite quotes I learned from the cartoon Disney movie Meet the Robinsons that simply states "keep moving forward."

Sadly this must be a short post as I still need to pack up my room, no small feat I might add. Even though classes are over the work to be done never ends, stay lazy my friends.

April Showers Brings A New Famous Seniors Line!

Well, April is gone and May is upon us. While for some of you that means flowers for us at senioritis it means graduation parties, the beginning of summer, and a whole bunch of time spent outside.

While our Famous Seniors prints hold a very dear place in our hearts they're not exactly the type of thing you can take outside while you're bbqing. So we began to think, how can we offer people some fun, colorful inspiration while they're enjoying the great outdoors? How about when people don't have 2 feet of wall space to hang our work? What would the most interesting man in the world do for inspiration if he were outside? These are the questions that ran through our minds. We began to brainstorm and in our ongoing plan to take over the world in an attempt to offer people inspiration no matter their location; we are now very pleased to offer a new line of Famous Seniors coasters.

If you're looking for a functional gift or a fun way to liven up your own living space, look no further. Our unique 4" (101.66mm for the metric folk) square plexiglass coasters are light enough to be hung and strong enough to not crack or shatter when they hit the floor. Whether displayed on your wall or protecting the delicate pages of your econ textbook from beer sweat these coasters are up to the task. Plus with vinyl bumpers on the bottom they won't slide when you go to put your drink on them ;)











Our new line of handmade coasters will be available in the Coasters section of our Etsy shop. The coasters will be listed individually so that you can build your own set of 4 for $28. We will be adding quite a few more designs throughout the remainder of the week so check back often.

Stay thirsty.

Bucket List: Binghamton Style

As I begin my two week countdown to my departure from Binghamton, I have come to realize all the things that I had wanted to do while here that I never got the chance to do. Last night I came up with a list of all the places I went, things I saw, and people I met while here and I must say that Binghamton has been pretty good to me. Not only was I able to get a sweet education and study abroad in Australia, but I was able to get a sense of what living on my own will be like next year. I live off campus in a house with five of my good friends, so I have gotten used to cooking for myself, and sending in my rent checks. It has also allowed me to become a lot more independent, able to go where I want when I want and not feel like I need to be constantly surrounded by people.

As I made a aforementioned list, I realized that Binghamton has some pretty great things to offer. It has a plethora of awesome restaurants, everything from sushi to american to thai food. Some of my favorites here include Whole in the Wall a place that is all natural and positively scrumptious.

Whole in the Wall

For sushi I go to Sake Tumi a cute place whose owner doubles as a waiter creating an overall comfortable atmosphere.

For a great place to eat and drink with friends that is relatively cheap I like to go to Tullys. A restaurant with tvs all over the place broadcasting every sports game imaginable.

If you couldn't already tell, I love to eat. If you are ever in Binghamton check out my favorite places. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

As for me, I must start my final paper, the one thing standing between me and graduation this Sunday. Yikes!

As always stay lazy and don't worry, summer is right around the corner!!

Four Weeks...

I graduate from college in four weeks. Four weeks! It is incredible to think how quickly four years have flown by. I am personally not ready to graduate and I am one of the lucky ones; I have a job for the summer at an Environmental Consulting company and know what I'm doing next year, attending Vermont Law School. I feel old and at the same time incredibly young. I'm not sure I'm ready to go out into the real world.

Surprisingly with graduation comes a great deal of planning. I had to select which ceremonies I wanted to attend, order a cap and gown, make restaurant reservations (Wegmans anyone?), and make sure my house is in order for when all of our parents come up. Unfortunately, when I should be having the most fun with it being my last month I have the most work to do, suddenly all of my classes have final papers and projects that my professors neglected to mention until last week. So what if it is on the syllabus? everyone knows no one reads the syllabus! I also seem to be swarmed with meetings. Even though my senior show was last weekend as I mentioned last week, I still have Pegs responsibilities and work to go to, I work at a library on campus.

Though some might argue that my future is certain, I will go to VLS for three years then get a lawyering job, when I am done with that I will become an Environmental Consultant and from there become an adjunct college professor in environmental law and policy. But while I have my life planned until the age of about 65 there is still so much uncertainty. I hate to admit it but I am terrified to leave my bubble of Binghamton, a place that has helped me grow into the person that I have become. It doesn't help that I will be living in the boonies for the next three years straight since I will be staying in Vermont for summers so that I can get my masters as well as my JD.

To say the least I am a bit stressed out as I come into these last few weeks. Luckily my senioritis has kicked in hardcore so I won't feel the brunt of the stress until the night before each project is due.

As always stay your lazy procrastinating self.

The Beginning of the End.

As the final semester of my undergrad career begins I can't help but feel the bittersweet feeling of a chapter of my life coming to an end. When I began freshman year I didn't think I would ever be ready to leave this college behind, but the closer I get the more excited I become to get out in the real world. I imagine this anxious feeling is because I, unlike so many of my friends know exactly what I am doing after graduation. I will be attending law school for the next three years. While it is not exactly the end of my education and the beginning of a career, it will mark a new experience and a change from my current lifestyle.

As excited as I am to move on with my life, I will be sad to leave this place behind. I live with five of my closest friends and it will be a hard adjustment to not come home to them after a hard day of classes next year. I am used to Binghamton and all it has to offer. Throughout my years here I have been able to take part in tons of activities and events that I'm not sure will be available to me in law school. I often wonder if I will be able to handle the work load of graduate school as my senioritis sets in and I have more motivation to lay in my bed all day than to do any sort of school work.

Alas, I must start some of that homework now if I have any chance of making the midnight deadline.

To all you readers out there, stay lazy.
