A few Online shopping items

I know, I know, Ebay and the like have been around for ages,

but here are some things to keep in mind when using sites like that:

1. Set a limit and stick to it

-don't raise your max bid just because someone outbid you, something else will come along.

2. Keep in mind that how fast you make your payment impacts your rating.

-A bad rating can lead to bad service.

3. Keep things private.

-Avoid giving out emails to other users, things can get tangled very easily.

4. Remember that all credit/debit cards have limits.

-DO NOT forget them!

Now that that is out of the way, I personally just discovered the wonder of Ebay!

I don't come from a super-well-off family, so I made do until I discovered said website (ahem, Ebay!).

I found the CUTEST Lilly Pulitzer skirt! First, it was only $21.00, including shipping!

Happy (and safe) Shopping! :)

Alter Designs!

First off, let me state that @CollegePrepster is

hosting another GIVEAWAY!

I love the state charm necklaces, but my FAVORITE is this

*Belt Buckle*

It's very nautical, which is a favorite summer theme of mine!

Alter Designs has the cutest accessories, be sure to check out their site:

CollegePrep Giveaway!

Hey guys, on one of the blogs I follow, they're having an amazing

GIVEAWAY!!!

Nico and LaLa make different fonts for things,

it's super preppy and completely adorable.

So cute, right?

Anyway, I'm also getting a pair of glasses today, but while I was looking,

and before I found the pair, I found:

Lilly Pulitzer glasses!

I LOVED them, sadly Momma-san didn't agree...they

don't frame my face well.

Any cute accessories that you just discovered?

FINALLY!

Yesterday was a Most Exciting Day in CadetPrepster's life! I finally purchased a cellphone!

Now, I realize for most this isn't big news, but for a cellphone addict like myself,

going without a phone from March until now was pretty tough.

It's a simple prepaid plan from Verizon, and it's all I need for now. However, if anyone can think of a better (ie more cost efficient) don't hesitate to holler out and let me know!

ArmyROTC update time!

As some of you know, I have been trying to get into basic training. This week I found out that after WEEKS sitting at the desk of the Army Surgeon General:

The Army said "no".

So the CoC at Potsdam ROTC is attempting to get me in that way. Mjr Toth (aka the most awesome ROTC recruiter EVER) says that if I improve my PT score (ie PASS) he can contract me, and when I graduate I can be an Army Officer.

(fingers crossed that THIS works out)

anyway, ciao for now :)

I hope that this very info-filled post is enjoyable, since I LOVED finding all of this

stuff!

Ciao for now! :)

Wonderful OS

So my darling guy NerdHerder introduced me to the best thing to hit computers since the internet!

Ubuntu!! It is a GODSEND!

In my mind it's the mac for middle class people. Faster than windows, free online downloads, and way less waiting for things to load.

go to Ubuntu.com for more info, and for heaven's sake stop waiting for

applications to load!

Ciao for now :)

Spook!

It's May 17! How did this happen?! I'm almost completely done with my first year of college! So much has changed, but so much has stayed the same. I cannot wait until summer begins, but I also don't want to leave school!

I love "the Dam" as everyone calls it. It's a second home, and I love my people here. It's odd, but at the beginning of the year I had nice categories of friends.

ArmyROTC

Student Government Association

Upstairs Guys

Besties

I was reluctant to allow the different groups of friends I had mesh together. Now, however, I've seen that it only leads to MORE fun!

I'm going to miss this place SO much over the summer, but I cannot wait to come back.

I'll be:

*A sophomore!

*An MSII

*In assembly again

*Hopefully chair of a committee!

Best wishes on final exams, and have fun over the summer!
