Fall Break [picture overload]

I will go ahead and apologize for the picture overload but I had so many pictures from fall break that I probably should have split it into two different posts!

But let's start with our day trip to Asheville, NC

 Best cookie EVER from the Chocolate Lounge!!

Gingersnap dipped in chocolate..yum yum!

Maple Latte from the cutest bookstore downtown!

Then was our day trip to Atlanta! We didn't make it downtown because of traffic but we hit two malls..which was obviously the most important part of the trip.

I bought my first pair of Tory Burch Reva's!

As you see below, I may or may not have wore them out of the store...

and of course had to stop by Godiva and get a pumpkin cheesecake truffle!

We luckily made it home with enough time to fit in a bike ride before dinner. We rode around downtown Clemson then went to the lake. The weather was absolutely gorgeous!

Today a few friends and I went hiking, apple picking, and sight seeing! The leaves were so beautiful and the waterfalls were so relaxing

500 pictures later, you have a recap of my fall break! (phew!)

I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week. I have a great week/weekend ahead because my boyfriend (whose 21st birthday is tomorrow) is coming up on Thursday to celebrate for the weekend and I cannot wait to see him!

Catch Up Post

Remember me?   I maybe have posted 2 times in the last month...worst blogger EVERRR (and I apologize a million times)

This semester has been killer, but guess what?!? My advisor put me in an upper level class without taking the prerequisite come to find out..so I had to drop it last week and now I am actually under full-time credit wise...so now I have so much free time on my hands! I actually went and applied at a few places because I'm sadly bored now with all this extra time, so why not spend it making money?!?

 I am also looking at doing an internship this summer in Charleston. I have been doing some research about the steps I need to take and where I would like to do one. I was wondering if any of y'all have ever done one and have any tips, advice, etc please let me know!

I would ideally love to have one at MUSC or CharlestonMag (CharlestonMag would be an absolute dream job!!) My major is finance and minor in marketing but I would really like to work somewhere that involves event planning and finance. So we will see how that goes!

Thursday starts fall break for me and I am so excited! My roommate and I have all sorts of fall events planned such as apple picking, hiking, going to a pumpkin patch & carving a pumpkin, and walking around on campus with our PSL looking at all the wonderful foliage, etc. I absolutely cannot wait!

Here's what it will look like

 I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far!

What to wear during rush

Hello everyone! I am still here :)

I have no idea where time has went but the day that I am leaving for school keeps getting closer and closer. I honestly can't believe that summer is almost over and I will be starting my junior year of college in less than a month

Also I don't think I have mentioned before but I have decided to go through rush this year!! I am super excited but nervous at the same time. I can't stop trying to get tips from friends who went through rush and are in sororities as well as read articles online because I want to be fully prepared.

My biggest worry is what I am going to wear! I know it needs to be comfy and nothing that is too binding because it's going to be SO hot!

Sorority Rush by makenzieb featuring a full skirt dress

So how can one go wrong with a Lilly dress?!? 

So now that I have one day planned, I got 6 left to go! But I plan on doing a major shopping overhaul before going to Clemson to get new clothes for rush! 

Oil blotting sheets, gum, lip stick, and my iPhone are going to be my necessities in my purse.
 I will probably throw in a pen and post-it's for any notes I need to remember because I know how fast past everything is!


For those who have went through rush, any other tips I shall know?!

Apartment Musings

With finals taking place, I can't help but for my mind to wonder to next semester where me and my best friend Lanie will be getting our apartment together! With that comes decorating and a bunch of DIY projects :) 

(I am obsessed with DIY anything...I love being able to make something myself instead of buying it, it just adds that special touch!)

Thankfully Lanie and I have the same exact taste,  we know we want to feel warm and cozy since it's a smaller 2 bedroom apartment. My step father owns his own cabinet business, so I already have my list made of what I need to be built to make sure this apartment is exactly what we want.  I am sure this will be the cutest apartment in all of Clemson

Here is my inspiration for themes and decorations via Pintrest of course

What a week

Oh my goodness, where has this week went? 

For the last two weeks, I have been putting school on the back burner and now I am paying for it and will continue to pay for it for the next two weeks.

I knew I had two major projects, power-point presentations and 5 page papers due that are all major grades but refused to get a head start on it (bad idea!!) 

So that's what I will be doing for two weeks and I will apologize in advance for my lack of blogging! 

This is how I feel:

Completely exhausted.

I do not have to go to school nor work tomorrow so look forward to a more structured and meaningful post. My brain can not handle thinking anymore this evening.

Tonight while I am sleeping I will dump by brain of everything I did today and wake up hopefully feeling refreshed and accomplished from everything I did today

So until then, good night TGIalmostF
