Longtime Friend of Willard and on campus resident Becca "Bad B" FitzGerald, is loving her fifteen minutes of fame here at Virginia Tech. This past Summer, Becca went on a trip to the foreign country of "Malawai" in "Africa" where she helped "kids". This itself would be pretty cool, but even more cool, is that Virginia Tech is now using the heartwarming pictures of Becca Fitz with small, African children as an advertisement for the school. Becca is humble as always about the situation and hated that I kept quoting her randomly in conversation.
“Their joy does not come from the latest iPhone or newest car -- it certainly does not come from things. They do not find their happiness in possessions, but rather in people, relationships, and family.” - Becca Fitz
So, props to Becs, here at Willard, we're all very proud of you and happy to be your friend.
In other news...
This Friday Willard is participating in a "Progressive Dinner" with sophomore girls. They're making delicious hors d'oevres and desserts, while Jackson is making spaghetti. We're really shooting for the starts with our menu eh? I'm sure it will be fun, and we'll update you if any love is in the air, cause well, it is Valentine's Day after all, right?
Wrong. I hate Valentine's Day. As Ardi Shahini once said, V-Day is the one day a year where dbag boyfriends and husbands do something nice. Therefore, instead of doing something because it is Valentine's Day, just chill and do something next week.
That pretty much wraps up this blog, oh and p.s. the girl in front of me in class is looking at the Becca Fitz article: http://www.vt.edu/spotlight/impact/2011-02-07-malawi/malawi.html
