There is nothing enlightened about

A condition or achievement that is longed for; an aspirationAlicia's definition: Dreams are desires and goals that give us something to strive for, they shape us and keep us going, they add enjoyment to this life...It's funny because a few years ago I had a notion of what I wanted to do with my life career wise.

The first day of the Supreme Court's new term. Yay! I know you're probably thinking, ok Alicia you're such a nerd. It's probably true. ;)I have followed the different Supreme Court rulings in the past, but not as much as I probably should have.

Where Has Summer Gone?

2007-09-13T09:11:00.000-07:00

The past few months have just flown by. My summer was amazing. It was spent site-seeing, sipping coffee, eating great food, & studying… oh yeah, did I mention this all took place in OXFORD! : ) Yes, this summer I went out of the U.S. for the first time.

While a kiss can prove tender, it must overcome the stigma of impulsiveness to truly display love. A letter, on the other hand, when written in the spirit of ardor and romance -even if it never mentions passion- strokes the heart deeper

So, I decided it’s time to start blogging. :) Here's a little bit about me... My name's Alicia Bliss, I'm a 20 yr. old Government major here at Regent.
