1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Hey guys, and welcome back to another week of Gia Diaries. 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: This is going to be my last Gia Diaries at 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: my home. I am moving out tomorrow into my apartment 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: in Jersey City. It is so bittersweet and I can't 5 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: believe that this move is happening already. I feel like 6 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: summer just ended and I was searching for apartments and 7 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: figuring everything out, and now my move in date is here. 8 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy. I am, of course going to 9 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: bring all of my espresso martini stuff to my new apartment, 10 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: but it's bittersweet. Really. Last night, Christian and I went 11 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: to BJ's and I basically got all of my cleaning 12 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: supplies and everything that I need for my apartment. And 13 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: I was sitting there like, what else do I have 14 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 1: to do? And I'm so tight. I wanted to make 15 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: sure I had everything pretty organized before I moved in, 16 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: and the only thing I really need to do is 17 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: grocery shop. So it's crazy that this is where I'm 18 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: at and that it's finally here. I am so excited. 19 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: I think what I'm most excited for, though, is hosting 20 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: and having my friends over. Something about me. I don't 21 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: like being alone so I'm super excited to just constantly 22 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: on my friends over. I know on the weekends they're 23 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: going to come over and we'll pregame before going out. 24 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: Thanksgivings coming up, I would really love to host a 25 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,919 Speaker 1: little friends giving, have everyone over before Blackout Wednesday, and 26 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: I'm just super excited for this month to have all 27 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: of my loved ones, friends and family over to really 28 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: just show them my apartment, entertain make charcuterie boards, and 29 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: do the whole thing. I love hosting and I love 30 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: being around the people that I love, so now I'm 31 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: excited to be able to do it in my own place. 32 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: I think what really prepared me for this move, and 33 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: when I knew I was really ready was after Special Forces, 34 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: Because when I was doing Special Forces, it really forced 35 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: me to be on my own and be without my 36 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: family and fight through and do things for myself. And 37 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: while I was there, I had like a big realization 38 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: as well, like I need to do this for me. 39 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: I'm ready to make this move. I'm ready to do 40 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: this for my career and for myself and throughout my life. 41 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: I really haven't done too many things for myself. I'm 42 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: honestly a very selfless person. I care for everybody around me, 43 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: So I think my biggest worry was leaving my family 44 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: because subconsciously, I'm just always there for them. I'm always 45 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: there if they need anything, and I think that's just 46 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: a part of me and who I am. So I 47 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: was always just nervous to leave. I never really had 48 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: a reason to, and obviously it's comfortable. You're at your 49 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: family's house. What better place to be. But I think 50 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: I finally am ready now, and that's super exciting. So 51 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: yesterday was also my last Sunday dinner officially living at home, 52 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: even though I am going to be coming back for 53 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: Sunday dinners all the time. But everything was just so good. 54 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: My mom went to Uncle Giuseetpees. I don't know if 55 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: you guys know this food store, but if I could 56 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: have a field day in there, it is literally an 57 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: Italian girls heaven. It smells amazing, There's everything you could 58 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: want in there and more. And so they food shopped 59 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: at Uncle giuseppe Is yesterday and just got fresh pasta 60 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: and just everything was so amazing. Their projutto bread is 61 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: insane if you guys have never had it. But they 62 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: do not have an uncle Jiazeppes, I think in Jersey City, 63 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 1: so I need to do that, and it was so funny. 64 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: I was at the Shorthills Mall a couple of weeks 65 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: ago too, and I don't know if you guys know, 66 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: like the Italy and the Shorthills Mall, but they also 67 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: have like a little grocery store in the Italy, and 68 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: I was like, I need a grocery shop here, uncle 69 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Giuseppes for my apartment. But uh yeah, it's just it's 70 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: so exciting, and I need my nana to also give 71 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: me some goodies to have in my house. So she's 72 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: getting a phone call from me today because I need 73 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: to go pick up some things. So it's crazy.

Last night, also, me and Christian went to 103 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: go pick up Audriana from her friend's house and she 104 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: just got her permit, so we made her drive home. 105 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: And those are one of those moments where I'm just 106 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: sitting back, like I'm really gonna miss this. She's my 107 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: baby sister, and I've watched all of my sisters obviously 108 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: grow and become the beautiful young woman they are today, 109 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: and it's just it's weird. I constantly want to always 110 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: be there and always be present, and I know I 111 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: still will be, but just from a little bit more 112 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: of a distance now, And I don't know. It was 113 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: just crazy. I'm sitting there watching her behind the driver's 114 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: seat and I was like, how did we get here? 115 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: Just such a crazy moment. But today she wants to 116 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: drive with me again before I move, and I'm like, oh, 117 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: I wish I could do this with you every day. 118 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: I wish I could be driving with you every day 119 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: after I get home from work or after you get 120 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: home from school, Like this is what I'm gonna miss. 121 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: But don't worry. My mom already asked me to sleep 122 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: home on Thursday night because she needs me to drive 123 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: Ondreana to school in the morning, so I am definitely 124 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: going to be back and forth. I really want to 125 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: dedicate Sundays to being with my family. So we'll take 126 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: it week by week and see how it goes. But 127 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: I know that this is going to probably be one 128 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: of the best chapters of my life, and I'm so 129 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: excited for it. It's definitely a little scary right now, 130 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: just financially, this is the obviously the biggest financial purchase 131 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: I've done in my entire life. So obviously paying your 132 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: security deposit and your first month's rent and then furnishing 133 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: an entire place by yourself, There's just so much that 134 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: goes into it that you don't even realize. So definitely 135 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: the biggest, you know, lum sum of money that I've 136 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: dropped at once in my life. That was definitely scary 137 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: and it is scary, but it also is just motivating 138 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: me to work harder and bring back the money and 139 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: some So it's definitely a journey. It's a learning curve, 140 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: it's an adventure, and I am so so ready for it. 141 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: On this past weekend, I also had a really fun 142 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: event with raising canes. I was standing next to a 143 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: two thousand, seven hundred and fourteen pound pumpkin. Never been 144 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: never seen been present with a pumpkin that large. I 145 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: didn't even know that that existed. But there were really 146 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: really cool pumpkin carvers or is that correct? I think, yeah, 147 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 1: like they're they're pumpkin carvers. So they were there and 148 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: they carved this amazing art into this pumpkin, and it 149 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: had raising canes on it the Statue of Liberty and 150 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: it was just like a really cool, like symbolic moment 151 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: also of New York City. We got to eat some 152 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: yummy raising caines, and there were a lot of familiar 153 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: faces there like Dolores Luanne, food God, Jordan Woods. It 154 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: was super cool and a really really fun event. I 155 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: had to say a speech in front of everyone, which 156 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: I was really nervous about, but they said I killed it. 157 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: And then on top of that, though, it was monsooning, 158 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: so we're standing under the tents. I'm in a fur coat. 159 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: Why would I wear a fur when it's monsooning outside? 160 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: And I have no idea, but the rain just wasn't 161 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: getting better, and I was like, this is crazy. We're 162 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: doing this whole event in Times Square with raising canes 163 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: and it's monsoiting outside, but it was awesome and we 164 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: had the best time.
