Hey everyone!
I started this blog as a class project, but since the class is over, I think I'm going to take over this spot.
I'll be sharing some stories with you, funny, personal, serious, etc., to give you a little peak into my life.
Hope you enjoy!
--I'll start this one by saying that I graduate in T-7 days! I cannot believe that 4 years of college have flown by so quickly. However, I'm going to save more details for later. I'll be back to talk about the "big day", share some photos, and reflect on my life for the past 4 years.
I'm currently starting to write a toast for my graduation party.... I mean, come on, I can't graduate with a degree in Communication and not give a speech commemorating my experience!
Any ideas??

A charming staff in a charming location
The Hotel Bel Ami Paris is known for its modern, yet quaint style, and its charming staff. The staff aims to make guests comfortable and their stay enjoyable.
"The hotel is perfectly located near the church of St. Germain des Pres (close to 2 metro stations) and unlike most parisian hotels, it is modernly styled and very tastfully decorated. The rooms are small but very nicely designed, and you definitly fill pampered. The hotel staff is extremly nice and helpful, and breakfast is rich and luxurious. There is free internet in the lobby, and live jazz playing in the bar on the evening. All in all It was a great stay at a wonderful hotel, and a place I will definatly come back to." - Natalie, Israel
Located on the Left Bank in the artists' enclave of St. Germain des Pres, the hotel charms with designer-appointed rooms. The hotel is also the home to the B.A Bar, where on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, a jazz pianist plays as guests feast on hors d'oeuvres and cocktails.
St. Germain des Pres is surrounded by many of the must-see sites of Paris. It is situated around the river Seine, the Tuileries Gardens, the Invalides and the Tour Eiffel Quarter, as well as the Luxembourg Quarter and the Latin Quarter.
St. Germain des Pres is the intellectual center of gravity: housing bistros, bookshops, galleries, nightclubs, and publishing houses. It is the location of the Cafe Les Deux Magots, frequented by the writers of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s and 1930s; as well as by post World War II Existentialists, at the Cafe de Flore and the Brasserie Lipp.
St. Germain des Pres is the location of the oldest church in Paris, the St. Germain des Pres. It is also the location of the world's first coffeehouse, le Procope, founded in 1686.
The Hotel Bel Ami is located in a creative district, full of things to do and see, but without the hustle and bustle of the Parisian lifestyle.

Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs Elysées!
Hôtel Lancaster is located right off of the Champs Elysées, and in Paris, it doesn't get any better than that. The best thing about this hotel is its central location... but that's not all it has to offer.
This small and beautiful hotel is a gem, a luxurious hideaway, found on the busiest street in Paris.
The hotel has an elegant, private-home feel to it. It was originally a 19th century private mansion.
"We stayed here on a visit to watch the climax of the tour de france. Very central to the Champs Elysées and the good bars and restaurants, metro at 150 metres. Staff were wonderful - nothing too much trouble - especially for our daughter - and they made us feel very welcome and valued. We will be back. Food was good - lovely room which was spotless and great comfy beds." -vicandlisa, Sussex
In addition to its fabulous location, Hôtel Lancaster is most-known for its culinary delights. Hôtel Lancaster stirs lovers' appetites at its namesake restaurant, La Table du Lancaster. The world-class chef, Michel Troisgros presides in this kitchen.
His inspiration has given life to creative, light, and elegant meals. The menu is organized by theme, based on products chosen by Troisgros for their intensity, freshness, and slightly sour notes: the wit of the tomato, the burst of lemon and citrus fruit, the bite of condiments and spices, the green of fresh vegetables, herbs, and fruit, and the sweetness of dairy products.
La Table du Lancaster offers fine dining that is intimate, understated, and contemporary.
And at around $400 per night, this is a little piece of Parisian luxury that everyone can afford.
