I worked at Follet's Bookstore on that side of campus. My second semester I actually got into Grad House West with my sister, she was a senior. It was amazing that I got in as a second semester freshman! It was really nice and you could take the tunnel to the student center.strivingforsavvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070004292603118407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-21149472722377065502009-08-27T22:32:14.683-04:002009-08-27T22:32:14.683-04:00It was Harry's.

I've always done that (under mom's guidance and proof of in-style 80's pictures gone wrong.)<br /><br />And I'm never going to get a tattoo. "Sexy Girl" (or something like that) just doesn't look good on the saggy skin of an eighty-year-old!

I have to SLEEP on rollers to get the hair you saw at BlogHer. Believe me: it doesn't usually look like that.<br /><br />Love the preppy look.

H...Ah yes -- the Breck Girl ads! I remember those!<br /><br />Having graduated just over a decade before you did...we young ladies were required to wear the same jewel-neck sweater for our B&W high school senior pictures. Unexciting at the time but, as you so aptly point out, pretty much timeless. Only the hairstyles give us away!!Oregon Equestrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074291602447053774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-20954304053688476202009-08-25T20:27:28.520-04:002009-08-25T20:27:28.520-04:00Oh, I remember those days, all too well.
