12. Winter
--let me expand on this. I love all seasons. Right now I'm really enjoying fall, I enjoyed the summer like there was no freaking tomorrow and the spring is always great because you can start wearing all the cute clothes again. But winter is something entirely different. Winter to me is hot chocolate in the family room with the fireplace going, watching some kind of sporting event on the television because that's what my family has always been known to be doing. Winter means trekking up to New Hampshire to the appropriately titled "New Hampshire House" to go skiing for the weekend, shop the outlets and eat at Tony Lena's pizza (still hands down the best pizza in America). This winter is going to be MUCH different. I'll be spending the majority of it at my new apartment in Connecticut with the same roommates I've been living with for basically 4 years. I love them like they are my own sisters, so it should be fun. Also, I plan to purchase a NH ski pass to a bunch of different mountains. I ski and I love skiing and I REALLY want to learn to snowboard. So this is going to be my winter for learning how to do that. I'm pumped.

13. Finishing the book I'm currently reading: La Bella Figura: A Field Guide to the Italian Mind by Beppe Severgnini. I've had an obsession with anything Italian since I studied abroad in Rome 2 summers ago.

14. Reading the new books I just purchased: Marley & Me and The Alchemist

15. The beginning of Christmas shopping

16. Thanksgiving for the 4 F's: family, friends, food and football! <3

17. Soxtober (that is for the Red Sox fans!)

18. Christmastime in New York City

This list could probably go on, however I feel the need to cut it off before it gets too lengthy.
