Since "saving" is deeply ingrained in our Dutch heritage, I felt it was necessary to share an online website that has already saved me couple of hundred dollars. The URL is www.retailmenot.com and it is easy to use. Once you visit the site you simply enter the company or product you are trying to save money with. For example: To renew my Norton Antivirus subscription I searched for Norton and found an online coupon code which saved me $50. (College Kids)I also rented some of my school books from Chegg and got an extra $40 off. Final Note: Whoever will have my name for Christmas might consider putting 50-70% of their savings towards their Craig VanDyke Christmas fund.

Apple Pies. Buy Them.

This post is on behalf of my lovely mother, Kathy.

You can order Apple Pies from her (through the school sale)!

The large size costs $12.00 each and the small costs $6.00 each. They are frozen. I can attest to the fact that making this purchase is a great decision.

Comment below on this post with your order. They are pretty delish.

(Mom: as a bonus for posting this for you, I would accept a gift of a pie as payment. Just a thought.)

RA surprise

The crowd hushed as the MC handed the mic to the next speaker.  The freshman class sat in anticipation, having no idea what kind of treat they were in for.  Suddenly, as the speaker began to talk, she was interrupted by an obnoxious sound.  The freshman looked around in confusion.  What on earth is going on? Suddenly, RAs were rising to their feet and waving their hands, moving from every direction toward the front of the room. 

Two words:  flash. mob. 

 

[i apologize in for the video quality and the music being off in the end...it wasn't my camera]

During FYF (Trinity's freshman welcome weekend), the leadership groups on campus put on an SNL event for the freshman class.  The act that stole the show:  the entire RA staff surprised the freshman by doing a flash mob.

In addition to this funtivity, I have been having a blast with my floor of wonderful girls!  Here are some of the things we have done so far:  First Burst (an epic battle of water games), a huge sleepover in the Chapel when it was too hot to breathe in South Hall, a campus version of the Amazing Race, a trip to the mall [and some things coming up...] a prayer walk, a trip to Coldstone for free ice cream, tie dye, and more.  It should be a fun year! :)
