Friends Get Even :)

As I've said, here on campus you make amazing friends. Sometimes they do something to you as a joke and you plot how to get back at them. Let's just say, one of our friends got milkshake all over a friend of mine's car. We thought about what we could do to get back and I thought of covering his car in Post-its.

He laughed it off and all is well. :)

Ever Play Chubby Bunny?

Ok so, for some reason these pictures get a little mixed up when I upload them. Anywho, it's still funny!

Do you know the rules of chubby bunny? It's how many average sized marshmallows can you fit in your mouth and still say "chubby bunny." At this point, I gave up and started using M&Ms.

In this picture Chelsea (purple shirt) was about to... 4 or 5 and I believe Becca (green plaid) was bringing over the trash bin in case we couldn't keep then in anymore.

I has 2 in and she just put her 3rd in.

This was... after i gave up. I had 4 and I was laughing so hard they almost shot across the room. Good thing I aimed for the garbage!

This was literally right after I spit them out.

Hmmm let's see. This was early. I believe that was my 3rd one going in. I had to adjust them so I could breathe.

And this here is the fourth one going in. This is where it all got bad. :-p

I don't even know... I think I was trying not to laugh.

I was about to try for a fifth... good thing I didn't.

This was with two. It's surprising how hard it is to talk with just two... let alone 4.

We we're laughing at each other and how crazy we sounded when we said "chubby bunny."

Like I said, some of these pictures get rearranged when I upload them. This was when I was putting the first marshmallow in.

Let's just say, you make amazing friends here. Friendships that can last a lifetime. I cherish each and every one of my friends and everyday is a fun experience; well, after our homework is done of course. ;)

Just because it's winter doesn't mean we can't go out and roast marshmallows! We took a short drive over to Dog's Head (big rock near the river), found a nice, safe spot to make a fire, and made some smores. :) It was a little chilly, but we survived.

This fire was nice and warm... Too bad it only lasted about 10 mins before it died.

They were all bundled up and huddling close together to keep warm while I worked with the fire.

Haha. This is Spencer; he was just being funny.

Two blankets and three people huddled together and finally warm!

Big smiles with numb lips.

I got it going again... then it died. I'm starting to think it's a little too cold for this.

I believe this was when we decided to call it a night and head back to campus.

Packing up. :)

Too cold to move.

This picture was from a little earlier. I had it going great here! Perfect warmth and size... but that was short lived.

Just because it's winter and we're in college doesn't mean we don't want to get away from everything for a few hours with some of out closest friends and just kick back and relax around a fire. Maybe next time we'll wait until it's warm out so we don't freeze again! :)

Accepted Students Day

Hey Everyone!

So today (well now yesterday) was our Accepted Students Day! It was our first and last of this year (our first one got canceled due to an unexpected 2 and a half feet of snow in one night!). Anywho, I took some pictures to give those of you who couldn't make it, a general idea of what it would've looked like.

This is Ashley (one of the blog contributers). We were talking about how this blog is a war between us (it really isn't, we're just good enough friends that we get to joke around like that). She is actually wearing our BRANK SPANKIN' NEW shirts. The Student Ambassadors designed and purchased shirts. "It's your time. Your college. Get involved."
This is Toni... enough said. She is just so awesome she got her own full frontal profile.. WITH A POSE!!
Class #1 = Done!, FYS Presentation = Done!, Lunch = to be completed now.
All of the students were in their class and we were just hanging out and talking.
We had a beautiful (but windy) day for this. I think mother nature was trying to suck up after the snow storm during the first one.
Students were here and the show was about to get started. There are the girls who put this day together; you may recognize some of them. Sadly though, Patrick is not in the picture.
As much fun as the entire day is, you have to admit that lunch is the best time! I mean, come on, you get to socialize, eat, and be loud. :)
Looking from Stearns across campus towards Bentley and the Library Learning Center.
Clear skies... well a few clouds but they blended in to the point where they don't count.
Hmmm. Where was I? I was in front of Govs South looking over the amazing view of the campus and the mountains.

Well, all in all this day was a huge success. Between the amazing admissions counselors and the countless number of hosts... I mean, it was truly amazing. I definitely look forward to having more students on campus so they can get a feel of what it's like for themselves.

Casino Night

Hey everyone! I usually don't like to write much but I feel these pictures deserve the explanation. The following pictures are from our 34th Annual Casino Night to benefit the United Way of Lamoille County. It is an event held every year by the entire Student Government (yours truly included) where all the money raised goes to the United Way of Lamoille County. This year we raised $950 and has over 180 people come and have some "Classy Vegas" fun!

Sadly I was unable to get many pictures because I was working dealing cards and auctioning off prizes more than half the night, but I think you get the gist!

Spring :)

As we all know, Vermont is known for it's amazing maple syrup. Well since this weekend was the Vermont Maple Festival, a few of us went to local sugar houses to check out the products and get some free tasting! These pictures were both taken at a sugar house just past JCS. They are able to produce 1,000 gallons of syrup a season. We also checked out a sugar house that just one guy ran in his back yard that only produces 26 gallons on average a year. That's a big difference!

Enjoying a Saturday evening in downtown Burlington. As we were headed back towards campus we came across this truck with the perfect license plate!

One of the many jobs on campus is working in Dibden. Call time is one hour before the show starts and we were early. We were a little early so two of my friends were playing games on their phone. This was before the Taiko Drumming show. It was an amazing and uplifting show!

Enjoy the mud season! Let's hope Spring is truly here to stay!! It's time for shorts and t-shirts. :)

A Beautiful Day Here At JSC!

Hello one and all!!!

Long time, no chat! Today is a beautiful Thursday [and Saint Patrick's Day!] here on campus. With a temperature of a whomping 54oF, people are out celebrating the warm weather! Rugby players are out in the melting snow for practice, the frisbee peeps are out tossing their frisbee's back-and-forth, skateboarders skating, and just plain outdoor socializing!

Hopefully this warm weather stays!

Take care and enjoy the sunshine!

<3 Ashley :)

Some pictures off my cell phone

Here are some pictures that were sent to me or I took yesterday, just more of Johnson State life!

Enjoying the snow after our HUGE storm! ^

My best friend and I went out for lunch at a local bakery and cafe, I am still craving that sandwich! ^

This is what I saw when I walked out of rugby practice last night. It's always so beautiful here! ^

Snow Storm March 7, 2011!

The school closed today for the second time this year and the seventh time in twenty-five years.

My friends and roommate playing in the snow outside the apartment. ^

Snow removal. ^

After 14 hours. ^

My car disappeared a little. ^

We will see how much snow we have in the end. They said 12-14 total but we have more then two feet already!
