Dallas!

I'm officially moved in and I started my internship with TRG on Wednesday.

My town home is lovely, and located in a really great part of town. I'm subleasing from a Pi Phi who goes to SMU, and absolutely love all the Pi Phi (and Twilight) stuff she has around the house. :)

It was also really exciting leaving my first day of work and knowing that I'm going to have a great experience and really get to delve into the world of public relations.

There are a total of six interns working for Richards Partners, the public relations arm of TRG, but only three of us started this week. The other two interns who've started are pictured with me above. Meg (on the far left) is from Arkansas and goes to Central Arkansas, and Marissa attends Oklahoma State, but is from Dallas. We attended Taste Addison last night, which was similar to a county fair with rides, a concert and tons of vendors.

#BKL

Blue Key Honor Society at K-State (an organization that I am proudly a member of) has truly embraced social media, especially Twitter. We have many hashtags that are used regularly including #bkl (Blue Key Love) and #bkhq (Blue Key Headquarters). Twitter has become a major form of communication for us. Our pub crawl shirts (seen above) clearly displayed our hashtag, and it was interesting how many people in Aggieville had no idea what it meant. If you don't know what a hashtag is, learn about it here. Here are some tweeting examples:

RT @morankelsey: anyone else feeling blue (Get it) after bk banquet? one more year, anyone? #bkl

RT @elischooley: Chillin' in #bkhq with @b_radellis and @pdharner.

A lot more #bkl than i ever thought we'd have. Love you guys.

rt @niederee: "Delta sigma phi is like monsters." -@olivertwist23 #bkl #greekweek

#BKL. Forever.

RT @20pankratz33: Dedication of #BKHQ

Rt @niederee RT @pdharner @lindsaygraber just rocked her BK speech in front of the Staleys and everybody else... #bkl

Blue Key: This evening, it's all about who's hungry. #BKL

These are the girls I call my sisters.

My senior year is finally drawing to a close.

This will become real on Wednesday at our last dinner, senior dinner, at the wonderful house of Pi. If it doesn't then, then it will be when my best friends and house mates graduate next weekend. If it doesn't then, then it will be when I move back in August to finish up and realize there are only a few of us left. I think all of us are feeling a little sad, nostalgic and altogether strange. So here's to my sisters, the people who accept me for me. The people who have been there for me no matter what over the last four years. But you know what the best part is? I know they'll only be a plane ride or short drive or phone call or e-mail or g-chat away. <3
