Weekend at JMU

This weekend I drove down to visit my freshman year roommate and one of my best friends, Julia, who goes to James Madison University now! She just turned 21 and I was so happy to go visit the school that she loves, meet her friends and celebrate her being twenty-fun! While the weather was rainy and chilly (literally, it felt like Fall and I am not ready), I think JMU’s campus is gorgeous and their food services are the best I’ve ever had at a college! I wanted to share some pictures I took and the outfits I wore while we celebrated. This was such an amazingly-fun weekend, I seriously can’t wait to go back!

Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Good morning! Today I wanted to share with you a super easy breakfast for those days when you have very little time in the morning to cook something. Now that I’m back in school, mornings have been super busy, so I like to prep for my day the night before. I’ve seen a bunch of recipes for overnight oats, but I think this is the most simple. The end result may look a little gross, but I promise if you like peanut butter and oatmeal, you will love this quick and easy recipe!

Look What You Made Me Post

*Fangirl Alert*

OMG I CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT OVER TAYLOR SWIFT RELEASING A NEW ALBUM THIS FALL! I have looked up to Taylor since I was 14 and have been obsessed with everything she does ever since. It has always been a big deal for me when she drops a new album, but because of her hiatus I didn’t think we were going to get anything anytime soon. I’m pretty sure I’m in shock right now that she’s releasing new music because this is my literal favorite time of the year. It’s been way to long and I have missed her so much. My little brother and I listened to her new single last night the second it came out and we were SHOOK. So of course I wanted to talk about it on my blog. If you get to know one thing about me, it’s that I can get pretty crazy over Taylor Swift, so I apologize in advance if it’s too much for you (but I’m not actually sorry).  No one has seen this side of me since 2014, and that was when I was entering my freshman year of college. HOW HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG? I am about to start my senior year now. I am overjoyed for everything TSwift has to come, I could cry. Here are 13 thoughts of mine after listening to “Look What You Made Me Do”.

Best Planners for College Students

School is almost here so if you haven’t already picked out a planner for the school year, this is the perfect post for you! I can’t live without my planner so I’ve become extremely particular as to the kind I get. During college I’ve tried out all different brands and types of agendas, and this past summer I really did my research on some popular agendas. So based on my own experiences and some advice from some friends, here are the advantages and drawbacks of some of the most popular planners for college students. Hopefully this will help you pick out which planner is best for you!

15 Dorm Essentials for College Girls

Hi everyone! As school is quickly approaching, I wanted to tell you my 15 Dorm Essentials! I hope this is helpful for anyone who is going away to college for the first time. I lived in the dorms for 3 years as both a freshman and RA. After setting up my own room and doing countless room inspections, I’ve picked up on what makes a great dorm room. All of these items in my collage are pink which isn’t usually my style, but I still thought were cute (my freshman dorm was teal and black and white, but that’s because my mom picked out most of my stuff because I was not excited for college when I was 18). Below I listed and linked what I think you will absolutely need for college (and you won’t want to forget it):

Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Around 2 years ago, I became obsessed with “healthy things that don’t taste like they’re healthy”. I started looking on Pinterest for recipes for healthy ice cream and breakfast cookies and stumbled upon this recipe: Chia Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies. This recipe is what inspired my little creation here, but I put my own spin on it. The cookies I made are bite-size, a little crumbly and soft. They are oil-free, refined-sugar free and contain Omega-3s from the walnuts and chia seeds. These cookies are perfect for breakfast, a snack or dessert and they are super simple to make.

101 Things in 1001 Days

I have wanted to do a list like this ever since I saw Isabella’s list on Yep It’s Prep. (TBH she’s like totally my blogging girlcrush and provided mad inspiration for me to make my own blog in the first place, so big shoutout to her). This post reminds me of when some friends and I used to make summer lists in high school of everything we wanted to accomplish before school started. It got a little aggressive and weird because we made it a contest, but none the less, it was still a solid memory. I’m glad to be doing something like that again.

These are the 101 things I want to accomplish in the next 1001 days. A lot of them have to do with travel. A lot of them have to do with trying new things. A lot of them have to do with bettering myself. All of them are about living life to the fullest (as cliche as that sounds) and seizing opportunities. By the time this list is finish, I will have graduated college. Will I be in grad school? Will I have a full-time job?Will I still be living in Maryland? There are so many unknowns about my future, but that honestly excites me.

1001 days. That is 2.75 years. A lot can happen and change in a person’s life during that time. I’m trying to remember where I was 1001 days ago today and wow that feels like a totally different world.  I know a lot of really exciting things are going to happen within these 1001 days. I hope its a period of spectacular transformation for me. I hope the next 1001 days are full of adventure and excitement. I hope I can look back on this list and know I tried my hardest to accomplish as much as possible, and smile back on the memories made because of this list.

I want to encourage you to make your own list as well! It gives you things to look forward to, motivation to push yourself and also achieve some things you’ve always wanted to do. I’ve already forced some of my friends to make a list with me, so join the fun and comment below if you’re joining this journey with me.

Fields of Gold

This past weekend I went to a sunflower field with Kayla (who you may remember from this post). This was the second week the sunflowers were in bloom so most of them had dried out, but it was still so beautiful and picturesque. Plus, I feel like if I ever became a country artist, any one of these pictures could be my album cover.  I could not have asked for better weather and Kayla is such a wonderful photographer that it was so hard choosing only a few photos for this blog. Please go check out her website and Facebook page because she is awesome!

Check Me Out

Happy Friday everyone! I am so excited to show off this outfit. I just bought these gingham checkered pants from the Loft Outlet when I was on vacation in Delaware. I have already gotten so many compliments on them, especially when I wore them to work. Plus, they’re high-waisted and that is my favorite style! These are ankle pants on me and I don’t know if that is on purpose or if it is because I’m tall. I thought adding this off-the-shoulder top added a little extra something to the outfit, while the black flats were a simple touch. I’m not sure if I would wear this shirt to work, but I think this look is very chic and modest. I love feeling like I stepped back in time when I wear certain looks. With both a Parisian and a 1950s feel, this outfit is very much a part of my quintessential style.
