Coming home from college is a very strange thing. You spend ten months being independent, doing whatever you want, whenever you want and then you come home and suddenly it feels as if you're right back in high school. As happy as I am for school to be over, being away from Charleston, not seeing my friends that aren't in Greenville, and getting a big girl job aren't too exciting. However, I am very excited to make money, travel (even if its just within the U.S.), read all of the books I haven't had time to read, spend time with friends I didn't get to see very much during the year, bake all of the things I couldn't during the year because I needed expensive ingredients or an electric mixer, get a tan, and hopefully do some shopping too. In classic Ali fashion, I should be asleep right now, but I'm not. Seems like summer doesn't change old habits. I have three Baking with Beischer's to update you kids on including Bacon-Wrapped Pretzels, S'mores cookies and Petit Pain au Chocolat, so stay tuned now that I actually have the time to update this regularly :) Oh and I think that the blue streak is her to stay:

Coming home from college is SO weird. However, beware...this will never change. When i come home from NYC (living here single, on my own for 4 years), mom tells me to be careful going down Hwy 86 and to call her when I leave Blockbuster. Ok, i'm being dramatic, but that "coming home" re-entry into old reality will never truly leave. Especially with parents like ours who love us so well.
