Hello from my comfy living room couch! I am finally out for Thanksgiving Break and being home makes me so happy. I ran some errands with my mom, went to the bookstore with my brother, went for a run, then the whole fam set up our Christmas tree and ate soup for dinner. Now we’re all watching Elf together- so happy! Over the past few months, I’ve collected a bunch of random websites, blog posts, and other links that I wanted to share. These are in no particular order, but enjoy!
Hello and happy Friday! We’re so close to the end of the semester, and I seriously cannot wait. I have three more classes until I can go home for Thanksgiving break, and it couldn’t get here soon enough. It’s weird because during the week I feel like time drags by, but when I look back, the semester went by pretty fast. I’m almost done with my first semester of college, which is absolutely crazy. I want to do a full recap with more of my thoughts in a different post, but today’s post is a photo diary of some of the highlights of first semester.
The past few months at college have probably been some of the hardest and most stressful of my life. I worked hard in high school and thought I studied a lot, but it’s been nothing compared to how much I have to study at college. With all the stress of tests and homework and grades comes the need to relax. I won’t lie, I’m still not the best of this at times, because I can get so caught up in my busy to do list that I can’t get school out of my mind. I need to learn to switch from school mode to relaxing mode. The longer I’ve been here, the better I’ve gotten at learning time management and realizing the importance of self care. Taking a chunk out of your day solely for yourself can make you feel so much better, and these are some of my favorite ways to do so!
Long time no post! I had a goal to post every day in September, and I stuck with it, but October I slacked off a lot. I just got so so busy with school and unfortunately the blog got put to the back burner. The past few days tho, I’ve gotten really motivated to start back up with my blog and photography and I hope I can continue with the inspiration! I’m so happy it’s November. October was good, but I feel like I didn’t fully take advantage of the spooky season and get in the fall mood as much as I wanted. Anyone who knows me knows Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday, and Christmas season starts in November for me. I started listening to Christmas music November 1st, and my family went to Target and we got a cute mini Christmas tree for the dorm. It’s crazy how fast the semester is going by; I have a few weeks until Thanksgiving break and then after that, two weeks until Christmas break!
