My Colorful Sophomore Dorm
I moved out of my sophomore dorm two and a half weeks ago and I already miss it! It's certainly nice to have my own room again, but I loved the way we decorated our dorm this year. My roommates and I added personal touches on pretty much every wall and I contributed a lot of color Lilly Pulitzer to the room. We all added our own style to the decor so we had a nice mixing pot of everyone's taste in the room as a whole. I absolutely loved having my bed lofted this year! Not only did I …
Introducing Brink
Hey lovelies, happy Wednesday! Today, I'm excited to tell you about a project I've been working on this semester as a part of my communications major at Loyola University Chicago! Some of you may have noticed that I've been retweeting an account called @BrinkLUC on Twitter in the last few months... Brink is that project! This semester I've been working with a fantastic team of five other students to write, run, and promote a blog for our Communication and New Media class! It has been such a …
What’s Up?
Some of you may have noticed that I haven't blogged for the last few days or been as active on social media as usual... Want to know why? RECRUITMENT! My chapter, Chi Omega Lambda Mu, just finished up Panhellenic recruitment this weekend, so I've been crazy busy prepping for and participating in recruitment. My sisters and I had such a great time recruiting this year and all of the girls going through rush were absolutely amazing! Our chapter was incredibly blessed and we got sixty-nine …
Spring Semester ’15
Today officially begins the start of my fourth semester of college! To say that time is flying would be cliche, but it's incredibly true. I can't believe that after this semester I will be halfway done with college... that's just mind blowing to me! There's so much going on all at once in my life right now, and there's potential for stress around every corner. I was talking with two of my friends yesterday about classes starting and dealing with so much happening and they reminded me of a saying …
Week 1 Recap – Sophomore Year
I'm officially done with my first week of classes and I could not be happier to be back. There's something about being at school and being busy that automatically puts me in a great mood. I'm only feeling slightly stressed as I familiarize myself with a new schedule and living space, but that's to be expected. So far I really like all of my classes and teachers and I'm feeling pretty positive about this semester. It's going to be packed and require a lot of work, but I'm ready for …
First Day of School!
Hey lovelies, I can't believe that classes start again today! {2013} Posts have been pretty light recently since I've been helping with move in all week, but after I get my schedule all figured out, posting will be back to normal. For now, here's a throwback to my first day of school last year. My parents have been taking first day of school pictures of me for as long as I can remember, so I've done the same in college with the help of my wonderful roomie. If your classes start up …
Wisdom Wednesday: What Comes Next
This school year is approaching faster and faster as each day passes. Five more days till move in!!! There's a lot of uncertainty, plenty that I'm worried about, and quite a lot to think about right now. I'm taking eighteen credit hours this semester which are mostly CORE (classes not directly related to my major, but are required to graduate), planning on maintaining a job, attempting to still have a social life (yikes), and continuing to post here on Bowtiful Life. From the outside …
Sophomore Countdown
I feel like a huge portion of my posts this summer have started off with something along the lines of "this summer is flying by" or "I've been super busy recently." Both of these phrases have rung especially true this summer. But in all honesty, this week has been crazy busy and next week, I'm sure, will be no different. I cannot believe that I move back into the dorms exactly a week from today.... Where did the summer go!? I am so excited to be living with my wonderful roommate from last year …
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, …
