Awkward Real Life Moment: I
So this morning I was walking to school in about 2-3 inches of snow while a gentle slushy rain fell, leaving me soaked to the bone. However, I did not let this get me down. I was smiling and looking at the beautiful crystalline world, when what appeared to be my own personal snow plow appeared on the side-walk before me. Said snow plow cleared a path for me and I looked up at the sky and threw my...
SOMETIMES
- sometimes I wake up early just so that I can sit and watch television before school and really prepare myself for the walk
- sometimes I try to catch snowflakes in my mouth and end up just smearing all of my makeup
- sometimes I bake/workout/update my blog/clean the house just to avoid studying
- sometimes I study just to avoid working out
- sometimes I press snooze 4 or 5 times before I...

End of Week 6 of Semester 2
I can’t believe that I’m completing six weeks of this semester…How is this possible?! I still feel like I hardly know my professors, like I still have time to get adjusted to the new teaching styles. But no, its time to be IN it. (Don’t worry, I am…it just doesn’t feel like I SHOULD be yet, follow?)
Now that thats out of the way… We’ve had a great...
When the going gets tough, the tough ...
So this weekend was stressful with lots of reading, writing, and studying! So to cope with the stress I devoted a large portion of Sunday to…baking. Because that’s a logical conclusion.
Sunday morning I made blueberry streusel scones for Joe and me. It would have been a breakfast in bed type thing, except that these scones took a good 45 minutes to make and Joe woke up! Woops! He...
Happy Valentines Day!
Happy Valentines Day to all of the people that I love. Usually you celebrate your friends and family all year, and Valentine’s is thus a special day set aside to celebrate your significant other. But these past few months have been different for us—we celebrate our mutual love everyday. The presence of Joe in my life resounds in everything I do, everyday. We moved here as...
Canada, briefly
So…This past weekend the handsome one and I embarked on a multi-national adventure to beautiful Canada! As a new passport recipient, this car-trip to Ontario was my first time leaving the country. Despite Joe having a hellacious week ahead, he was kind enough to take me to Thunder Bay for the weekend. He picked me up at school on Friday, and I surprised him with a cupcake from that...
For the record I ate all three treats pictured below: pistachio macaroon, chocolate raspberry cupcake, and hazelnut macaroon.
Roots
Up until 6 months ago, my entire life had been spent in South Carolina. I was never in a place without roots of some kind. When I started college at Clemson, I was there with my best friend Elizabeth. When I transferred to College of Charleston, I had my sister, my dear friend Sophia, and home within a 2 hour drive. My roots kept growing...

Eventful Weeks
I haven’t updated in a little bit, but that is because Joe and I have been having SO busy.
To update— a week ago Friday we got to see the MN Timberwolves play the San Antonio Spurs at Target Center. It was my first NBA game and it was SO fun. The T-Wolves won, but that wasn’t the best part. The best part was obviously the NBA dancers. We had GREAT seats and that made it all...
