INTRO:

Hello all :) My name is Hilary Plourde. After transferring a time or two, I landed at RIC and hope to graduate within the year. I am a full time student and work part time. It seems as though my semester hasn't even started yet due to all the snow storms, which I have loved! So I guess I could say it's going great! It will, however, be much better once I get a routine down. When I am not involved in school, my favorite times are spent with my friends and family, who are scattered across the states at this time making it tough. I miss them every day but still maintain a great sense of closeness with them. Every day I strive to gain the utmost open mind possible. I embrace, and am learning to love every moment life offers me!
