Five on Friday!

The weeks fly by so quickly anymore, don't they?

This was my last full week at home as next weekend I fly back to London to begin my second year of graduate school. It's crazy how the summer has flown by! More on that later though...let's get to my Friday favorites! Some of these are actual things while the rest are just moments that I'm loving reflecting on this week!

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG   

1. Can we talk about the Newsroom Season Finale? I was surprisingly pleased with the way Sorkin wrote this season finale. I'm used to his writing style from the West Wing, and I am so happy he let the characters play out....the way that I think most viewers were hoping for!


2. Fall Television Shows are coming back! I know I posted last week about the sneak peak of the season premiere of the Mindy Project. The season premiere of New Girl was on this past Tuesday. What fall shows are you loving? 

3. This is sort of a thank you one. I'm loving and appreciating the numerous comments I've received from so many numerous readers of my blog this week!

4. For those of you who don't know, I'm an avid fan of Yelp. I achieved Elite status earlier this year based on my reviews. Anyways, I received the weekly email this week for London which was all about my neighborhood, and one of my tips was included! Some might view it as silly, but I'm hopeful that even if one person can grab a tip of of what to do at Portobello Road based off my experiences, I'm happy! And for the other tips in the email for my neighborhood, I've put those on my list to check out.

5. And, last but not least...I'm super excited to get to know the incoming class in my Master's program.  It's hard to believe that it has been officially one year since I registered, attended orientation, and started math camp.  The incoming class attends registration today, and I've been emailing my first-year buddy with tips and answers to her questions. Let's just say that the MPA program rocks!

New Weekly Feature: Five on Friday!


I'm starting a new feature on the blog! I'm joining in on the five on Friday posts sponsored by a. liz adventures, Carolina Charm, Hello! Happiness, and the Good Life Blog. I love reading these posts, and figured it might be time to jump on the bandwagon. My threshold was finally met! 

This Friday, I'm loving:

1. Roar by Katy Perry.  


I know that it may have started to get overplayed, etc. But, right now it's my jam. I especially love it in the mornings! 

2. Sneak Peak of the Mindy Project Season 2! 

Who else caught the sneak-peak up on Hulu? It literally made my Tuesday!  Of course, I have my season pass purchased on iTunes since I will be hopping back across the pond, and that just limits my watching abilities. 

3. Leopard Everything.

It is almost fall! We had a few very hot days this week, but that doesn't stop me from planning my fall wardrobe. I just picked up these pretty pumps the other day! Super excited to dress them up and down!

4. Routehappy

Has anyone else started to use routehappy? It's one of my new favorite travel websites. You can make an account, review your experience on a plane or at an airport, and actually book tickets on the website based on the reviews. Entirely free to join! I'm planning a longer post about it in the near future, but make sure to check them out now!

5. Million Second Quiz

I'm a sucker for quiz shows. Trivia, actually. In college, I competed with several friends in trivia competitions. In one, we won over $300 worth of Syracuse merchandise and gift cards, each! I caught the tail-end of the show the other night, and now I'm addicted! Are you watching this show?

What are your fives on Friday?
