5 Reasons Why Southern New Hampshire University is Fly:

1. They run two cities. Interestingly enough, half the campus is considered to be in Manchester, the other half is considered Hooksett.

2. Their mascot, The Penman, was drawn by the same artist who designed the Patriots logo. Shoutout to Phil Bissell!

3. Their Culinary Program were the creators of the world's largest Boston Cream Pie. Yum!
 

4. The Last Chapter Pub on campus has some awesome free cheeseballs. I was on stage salivating.

5. Happy Gilmore. Adam Sandler actually hails from Manchester, NH.

Happy Belated New Year!

Am I the only one still writing "09" on my dates? It's 2010! Welcome to the new year. 2009 was a diffcult year for many, but I believe it provided us with prospective and lessons so that we all can grow into who we're supposed to be. I've spent the last few weeks prepping & planning, and I know blessings are on their way to all of us!

Last week was filled with a lot of fundraisers for the crisis in Haiti. I encourage you all to text "Yele" to 501 501 to donate to Wyclef's Yele Organization. I've been working a lot with Liz Whitney (a friend and Yele representative) and Wyclef has been doing some amazing things (regardless of what the media tried to say). Help if you can!
