On New Year's Eve I put up a post called "My Resolutions for 2014 (& How I Plan to Keep Them)." Well, it's been about two and a half months since then and I thought it would be a good time to do a check in post. (Not only for myself, but also to check in with all of you to see how your resolutions are going!) The three resolutions that I made for 2014 were... 1. Journal every night; 2. Try to work out at least twice a week; 3. Continue to eat healthier 1. I've been extremely …

Faith in Humanity
This week felt ridiculously long. However, I had a wonderful experience on Tuesday morning (after a very frustrating and upsetting discovery on Sunday night) which helped to renew my faith in humanity and reminded me to always have faith that good and honest people are all around. Let me start from the beginning... Last Sunday was a pretty packed day for me and I was not only on campus, but also off campus. That morning I put on one of my favorite bracelets, which I had received for my …
25 Questions Tag
I was tagged by Alex (Preppy Therapy) along with Prep on a Budget, Citrus & Style, Little Miss Florida Prep, Carolina Prepster, Your Typical Prep, Preppy on the West Coast, Ribbon and Pearls, & Private School Prepster to do the 25 questions tag! Check at the bottom of the post to see who I tag. 1. Do you have any pets? Currently no, but I would absolutely love to have a toy poodle at some point in my life. I love that they're hypoallergenic and I think that they are absolutely …
Friday Five
I haven't done one of these Friday Five posts in what feels like forever! Here's what has been going on during this crazy week...1. Spring Semester '14 I am absolutely in love with my schedule and my classes this semester! I'm taking a lot of classes relating to my major, comm studies, and I'm downtown quite a bit. I was actually able to pop into a few of my favorite shops on Michigan Avenue this week after I was done with my classes for the day. I'm loving this city lifestyle!via …
My Resolutions for 2014 (& How I Plan to Keep Them)
Happy almost 2014 everyone! For me, every new year comes with new personal goals and lifestyle choices. New years resolutions are something that I’m usually relatively good at keeping, because I never set goals that would be impossible to achieve. This year, for 2014, I have three main resolutions, but one that I am particularly focusing on is...JOURNALING!I plan to take just a few minutes every night to sit down and keep track of what happened that day before I go to bed. I can either write out …
Sweet & Southern
Since coming to college I've been asked one somewhat surprising question quite a few times. That question being either: "Are you from the South?" Or "What part of the South are you from?" There have been people from the Midwest, East Coast, West Coast, and even the South itself who've asked me this at some point. I was chatting with one of my friends about it one day in the dining hall and a random guy overheard our conversation and commented that he could hear it in the way I spoke. This …
The Big Question: Why I Started Blogging
There are a few questions that I get asked quite regularly as a blogger, but I think that the most common one is: How and why did you start blogging? The story of how I started blogging is somewhat bittersweet. I've been a blog reader for quite a while, but I didn't start my own blog until January of 2012 when I was in my junior year of high school. My sophomore and junior year I had been on my school's poms team, which I loved. Dancing is a major passion of mine, I've basically been …
Friday Five
1. The weather here has been ridiculous. As I mentioned in my Fall in July post, the weather seems to be quite confused. The average temperature has been in the high sixties- mid seventies in the past week and it feels as though fall has come early. It's still summer.... can we please have it feel like summer? 2. via Instagram I got new glasses! Most of you were probably unaware that I have glasses, but that's because I wear my contacts all the time. It was time for my …

Friday Five
1. Today I take the very last final of my high school career! I have a total of 43 minutes of school to take this one last test. After that, my friend Bridget and I plan to clean out our lockers which are currently filled with four years worth of books, papers, etc. 2. In regard to "lasts," tonight is the last time that I'll be performing in my school's annual spring dance show. I've been in the show all four years and I've been doing recitals at this theater since I was only three years …
