An Aspiring Socialite in Washington D.C.

Socialites often have family members connected to the government. Usually out of boredom, status, or the thirst for political power, members of distinguished American families tend to run for public office. Well, I’m no exception to this rule.  I don’t know how many of you know this, but I’m originally from Wilmington, DE.  Upon graduating from the University of Delaware, my little sister, Caroline Sullivan, took an internship with United States Senator Chris Coons of the state of Delaware.

I’m so proud of my sister for having spent the last six months defending the interest of Delaware and our tax-free shopping ways on Capitol Hill.  This makes me proud to be an American, the kind that doesn’t have to stand in line to tour the Capitol Building, which I have to say was very tastefully done with its chandeliers, crown moldings, and epic paintings/statues.  Caroline gives a great tour too.  In D.C., I represented New York City by dressing in mostly black with black boots and leggings.

Washington D.C. is a completely different city underground and we got to ride on a secret subway.

Nice stairs!

Congratulations to my Little Sister Caroline!

Today, on May 28th, 2011 my little sister Caroline Sullivan graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in International Relations in a beautiful ceremony under the Delaware sun. I could not be more proud of her and can’t stop thinking about how much I have watched her grow over the past four years.  As I sit here at my Mom’s home in Delaware watching my Mom get ready for today’s graduation party, I can’t help, but think about all of the aspirations every graduation seems to symbolize.  Everyone is just as much of a socialite on their graduation day as they are on their wedding day.  The only difference is that the paparazzi are your friends and family.

Congratulations to the entire Class of 2011! Keep aspiring because I wish you all the best!  I am so happy to be with my wonderful little sister on such a special day.  She is total socialite.  She just doesn’t know it.

Kanye West also attended the 2011 Commencement at the University of Delaware.  His surprise appearance brings me one step closer to socialite stardom.
