~The Week in Review~

First of all, HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

My family's first real Saint Patrick's Day was two years ago! Until we delved extensively into familial research, we thought we were about 100% Welsh. My father's side is also Welsh (this is confirmed). The community that my family immigrated to was a predominantly Welsh community. During a time period where many Irish people were shunned from society, my family crafted their identities to exude "Welshness," so much so that my family wore orange on Saint Patrick's Day! 
Well, this little Irish girl is now one proud lassie on Saint Patrick's Day! 
Fun fact: If you are a student at a university, chances are you have a subscription to http://www.ancestry.com/ as a part of your school's data base collection. So check out your history!

‪#‎NationalPancakeDay‬ was on Tuesday, March 8!  In lieu of what customers would pay for pancakes, they made a donation to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! 

Thank you to Tyler Sinclair for making me feel fabulous! Your friendship means so much to me! ‪#‎sponsorspotlight‬ ‪#‎missnewhampshire‬ ‪#‎style‬‪ #‎hairbysinclair‬

Also, this year's election is one that we will absolutely be teaching future generations about. This article answered many of my questions, and I am sure it will be a great help to anyone who is confused about the process! I needed some clarification, too!

Confession: Although I am taught as a History Major to sometimes question Wikipedia, this is the most comprehensive article I could find! Sources are good, I promise! 

Confused About Delegates?

I hope you chuckle at one of the following pictures.

Whew. What an amazing week. 

That's a wrap! On March 2, I had a great time serving as the Volunteer Coordinator for the UNH Career Fair. Congratulations to all of the students who made the commitment to network with future employers! Also, shout out to Megan from the UNH Career Center for all of your help! 

First of all, thank you to Valerie from UNH Today for speaking with me about my research! Want to learn about my research, career ambitions, and experiences as an Assistant Hall Director? You can read the whole article by clicking the "Charting Her Own Course" link below.

Also, I am beyond thankful to be accepted into Columbia University today. Thank you to my family, friends, colleagues, and professors for raising me up to where I am today. I am forever grateful.

Yesterday, we had our "Miss New Hampshire Bootcamp." Thank you to our guest speaker, Michelle Dwyer, for teaching us the importance of both personal and professional goals. Also, thank you to Holly and the Miss New Hampshire board for ensuring that one of us will be ready to serve as Miss New Hampshire. Whoever she is will have very big shoes to fill! I am so lucky to be a part of a cohort of such intelligent, driven, and thoughtful women. 

Today, we had our first rehearsal! Thank you to Heidi and the dancers for helping us learn such a fun and upbeat opening number!

As always, here is a little something to help your Monday seem a little bit brighter.

This is so true.
