College Life

Hello! I haven't updated since last month, but I am still alive. 

I've been spending my days trying to get back in the groove of school, attempting to get food around the crazy dining hall hours, and really, really missing my own shower.

BUT, I have been enjoying my time here and I've learned a lot these past four weeks.

Academics-wise and about myself, which is all part of the experience (in my opinion).

I haven't had time (this is the first time in my life I actually really properly don't have time to do things and I don't like it) to work on any specific fashion posts or anything like that, so I thought I'd share with you what I've been up to (with some OOTDs thrown in, so perhaps that counts for the fashion part)!

So, here it is. 

My journey from beginning to present(ish).



The beginning of a two and a half hour car journey to move-in day.
I was so unbelievably nervous.



My school has a castle.



It's kinda, sorta gorgeous.

We used the train to go to Philly for a scavenger hunt.



Awwwww (!!!).



Fancy, right?



Had this at Reading Terminal Market.
Delish.



I went home over Labor Day weekend.
I wore this.



My parents and I had dessert for dinner.
They're the coolest parents in the world.
Really, though.



This is my wall in my dorm.
It makes me happy.



My new friends and I decided to go into town, and we happened upon a number of antique shops.





I bought an old Lancôme makeup thing (not pictured).
The woman at one shop was particularly knowledgeable about each item she had, and discussed with us how it was unfair that British people can swear all they want and still come across as eloquent.
She was pretty cool.



Pre-first college party.
It sucked.
I got chocolate chip pancakes after, which made it okay.



That day I dressed like a baseball player.



College teaches you improvisational skills.



This skirt is the love of my life and from the most unexpected place.
(It's from the Miley Cyrus Max Azria line at Walmart, shhh.)



Meet my roommate, Janelle.
Aka: my best friend since 4th grade.
I really don't know what I'd do without her.
(Although, most of the time I dunno what to do with her, because she's cray cray.)



"I was reminiscing just the other day, while having coffee all alone, and Lord it took me away..."
I did go get coffee alone and walked around campus and reflected on the fact that I actually go to school here.
Like, what?



Don't lose who you are when you go away to school.



I swear, it went from 90° one day to 50° the next.



I hope I have this army jacket for the rest of my freakin' life.
Imagine an 80 year-old grandma wearing this.
That will be me.
(But not really.)



Oh you fancy, huh?



My dad picked me up last night for the weekend.
We got coffee and listened to music and it was great.



I returned home to the horrifying news that my cat, Twinkles, had passed away on Wednesday.
I got him when I was only four years old, and I can't believe he's gone now.
I miss him so, so much.
<3



I went on a little walk today.
Took me back to when I would ride my bike on this trail.
Nostalgic.



Boy oh boy, I love fall.

So yes, that about sums up what I've been up to this past month.
Well not all of it, obviously.
It has definitely been an adventure, and I can't wait to see what else is in store.
Hope you're all having a happy weekend.
:)
