A Beautiful Day

 The Woodberry 

A Wonderful Day Spent With Friends


It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon that was spent with friends. All of my friends live off of campus rather than on campus at Loyola, some live at the Woodberry. The Woodberry could possibly be one of the nicest apartment homes I have seen thus far in Baltimore. They have many outdoor areas, but the area we chose was with the grills and tables. 

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon for a barbecue. So, that is what we did. The guys bought meat and cooked them perfectly. The guys made ribs, burgers, hot dogs and chicken. It was all amazing. The girls on the other hand brought all of the "bird food." We made buffalo chicken dip, penne alla vodka, fruit salad, bean and corn salad, regular salad and brownies. 

On my plate was salad, fruit salad, a lot of buffalo chicken dip, a hot dog and half of a rib. I tried the penne alla vodka, but it was not made to how I usually like it, therefore I did not waste it because others enjoyed it an abundance. Let me backup to that buffalo chicken dip really quick... oh my was it good. I loved it so much and it was only my second time trying it. Something about this dip though was spectacular and I for sure could eat it every day of my life. 

In the fruit salad we incorporated pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and oranges. It was very refreshing and was a big hit. The corn and bean salad was not my cup of tea. Don't get me wrong corn is delicious, but beans are something that freaks me out. That was the dish that I did not want to try. 

All of us played games like corn hole and were just listening to music, talking and enjoying life. It was a beautiful day.

After the barbecue was over we all cleaned up, went up stairs and continued on with the night. We stayed at the apartment for a while to just hang out because a friend who transferred freshman year was visiting. We were having a blast but then decided to go out and continue on with the fun...

If you are ever in need of a fun day with friends I will suggest having a barbecue. Everyone is required to bring something, no one is allowed to come empty handed. With that rule no one will be left hungry and everyone is bound to like at least one dish being served. It is smart, it is fun and it is effective. 

Another thing people should keep in mind is be curtious of allergies. Many people have many allergies and even just the touch of it may send them over. So, in that case, be sure to be kind and ask that question beforehand. You will be golden after this.

Sunday Funday or Easter Sunday?

Image
Nanny's House- Winthrop, MA Spring Semester, 2021 Easter Sunday, Pandemic Style, turns into Sunday Funday... This is my families first "normal" Easter in four years.  Three years ago, 2018, Easter Sunday was tough. My grandmother, dads mom, passed away. She was diagnosed with stage four cancer a month prior, and it was just getting worse. We knew her time was near, but Easter Sunday approached and the family as a whole went to the hospital said happy Easter talked to her for a little while (even though she was unresponsive) and when we left my dad got the call.  We made it back to my other grandmothers house and right when we were sitting down for dinner, that's when my dad got the call and went on his way to the hospital with his other siblings. As sad as we were, she went out on a holiday that she loved after feeling the warmth of her family around her that morning.  A Family Photo. Two years ago, 2019, Easter Sunday my sister fell down the stairs and sprained her ...

A Quick Trip Home- All For a Haircut...?

Image
Boston, MA 2021 Spring Semester A 6 hour drive home on a Sunday, all so I could get my hair done... The final result.  Let me ask a few questions: do you love getting your hair done? Do you love the way it smells afterwards? Do you love the way it feels when your hair dresser is massaging your head in a peaceful and soothing way? But most importantly, do you only trust one specific person? If you answered yes to any of those questions then you're in the right spot.  I live right outside of Boston so my hair salon is located in one of Bostons outer cities: Brookline. The salon I go to is called 'Dellaria.' My whole life I have been going to a salon in my small town Winthrop, but this past summer my older sister, Abby, encouraged me to try this new salon out. I am a very picky person when it comes to my hair...I like to have my hair a specific length, specific color and specific style. Therefore, I was a little hesitant. But I decided, 'hey we're living in a pande...

One More Night at Home...

Foxborough, MA   2021 Spring Semester  A Scrumptious Dinner With my Roommate Before we Drove Back to Maryland! Entering: Foxborough, MA. 'Home of the Patriots.' One last night out for a nice dinner before road tripping back to Maryland won't hurt, would it? My roommate is from Norfolk, MA which is a small town right next to Foxborough, MA.  Foxborough, of course, is widely known for being the home field of the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Aside from the field, Gillette Stadium, also known as, Patriots Place- has an abundance of delicious restaurants and marvelous shops.  Patriots Place- Gillette Stadium.  Before getting to sleep early for a nice 6 1/2 hour drive back to school Melina and I decided to grab a quick meal at a restaurant called 'Six String.' I have never been before, but it was awesome. The vibes in there were awesome and the music being played aloud was even better. Prior to COVID, this restaurant would have live bands come and preform each weeke...
