I am so happy that finals week is over and that I've been able to sleep in my bed at home these last few nights. I forgot how good it feels to sleep in! It's been wonderful to just de-stress these last few days. I'm officially all moved out of my dorm as of Tuesday evening and mostly all unpacked at home as of yesterday morning. (There's still a box or two to go through and organize.) Move out was crazy. My roommate and I decided to stay up for our last 24 hours on campus and we were able to …

Rising Sophomore
I can't believe it, I really can't.Freshman year has flown by in the blink of an eye, and it's officially over. I took my last final as a freshman yesterday and my roommate, Ola, and I move out of our dorm this evening. Even as I type this post, surrounded by packed suitcases and my now-bare walls, it's crazy to believe we're leaving this room which we've called home for the last few months... in just a few hours.This year has been filled with so many different emotions. It's been such a blast, …

Monogram Pillow Giveaway
I can't believe that the school year is almost over. Next week is my last week of classes and then it's time for finals! I was recently scrolling back through my Instagram and I was reminded that it was right at this time of year, last year, that I ordered the first thing for my dorm room. I'm sure that plenty of my readers who are graduating soon are starting to plan their dorm for next year, or at least starting to think about what they're going to need for it! With that in mind, I'm super …

I’m on a Boat! ~ Sigma Chi Formal
On April 5th I was able to attend Sigma Chi's formal with one of my best friends, Connor. The Sigs held a wonderful event on The Spirit of Chicago; taking off from Navy Pier and then giving us a perfect view of the sunset and the lights of Chicago's stunning skyline. I had an absolutely fabulous time socializing and dancing the night away with a bunch of my friends and the men of Sigma Chi. via Instagram recreating Titanic ~ What I Wore ~ dress - Topshop; …
Chi Omega Formal 2014
This past Friday, my sorority had our formal downtown at Fulton's on The River. Many pictures were taken, there was plenty of dancing, and I had a blast with all of my sisters! We had a pretty view of all the buildings and city lights, and just as its name would suggest, the location was right on the river. I was so surprised and grateful to win a superlative as a freshman. My sisters voted me as "Most Creative Chi O" for our chapter! I had an absolutely wonderful time at my first formal and I …

Chi Omega, Yours Forever
This Sunday I became an initiated member of Chi Omega! New member no more, I'm officially an active! I was initiated alongside my friend Anna, who had been in the same rush group as me this past fall for recruitment. I had an amazing experience right before my initiation. I posted on my Facebook timeline that morning about how it was my initiation day when one of my cousins commented that my great aunt had also been in Chi O! I had no clue that she had been a Chi Omega, or greek involved at …
