One Quarter + Lessons Learned

It's hard to believe that my first quarter of college is officially over. I went through the most stress that I have ever endured last week, slaving over my copious amount of notes (note to self: STOP WRITING SO MANY NOTES), and constantly reminding myself that I had to get a 4.0, I just absolutely had to (no I didn't). Now that that is over and I most definitely do not have a 4.0, I'm finally on winter break! 

I grew a lot over the past few months, and I thought I'd use this post to talk about some of the lessons that have helped me.

Pink Hats

With college comes late nights and inevitable bad hair days. My favorite accessory lately has been a simple baseball cap- I know, how sporty of me. They go with just about everything, and is the perfect cover up when you forget to bring dry shampoo to college.

Bikers, cobblestone streets, and pastel sunsets. Paradise? Nope, just Amsterdam.

Before heading to Amsterdam, we made a 7 hour pit stop in Brussels, Belgium.

London Nostalgia // Travel Diary 001

London.
The first time I set my eyes on you, breathed your air, walked your ground, I only had 24 hours. 24 hours of dizzying madness full of running, shameless selfies, british accents, and way too little tea for my liking. 
Word of advice: London can't be conquered in 24 hours.

A year and 4 months later- I'm back!
For this trip, my travel entourage (aka my family + my best friend's family) and I decided to make me plan everything plan everything ourselves instead of following a tour group. If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I love traveling. Welcome to Entry #1 where our first stop is the buzzing city of London.

Grecian Flowers

Flowers have a way of making a photo look 10x better. It took so much self-control to keep me from posting all of the pictures that my brother took on this day! They all turned out super nice, with the lighting being perfect and the beautiful pink flowers in the background.

Printed Happiness

My high school career is coming to a close and I couldn't be happier. Not to say that I'm not a least bit sad, but I feel ready to go to college.
