It was a close call but y’all voted for a Life Lately as this week’s second post, and I’m super excited to update you on what’s been happening in my life over the past month! I was planning on getting this up Friday morning like usual, but I got sick yesterday and couldn’t bring myself to finish writing it. Anyways, I’m already feeling much better, so let’s get into this life update!!
November consisted of school, school, and more school… oh, and Thanksgiving! My Grandpa came for Thanksgiving and so did our close family friends (Julia, if you’re reading this, we missed you so much!!!). It was so fun to see everyone and catch up! The day after Thanksgiving my family hosts our annual ‘Leftovers Party’ (all our friends bring their Thanksgiving leftovers), which is pretty much like a second Thanksgiving. I definitely ate way too many crescent rolls, but that’s what it’s all about, right?
While I was home I also got my hair done, which I only do when I’m home! I actually decided to cut a few inches off, which is huge for me. I usually get it cut too short and freak out afterwards – can y’all relate? So for the past year or so I just got trims every once in a while. But, my hairdresser cut it the perfect length and I love it!!
My sorority also had a mixer in November and I thought you’d appreciate the fashion statement below – I have to say… I don’t hate it…
It was Denim on Denim themed and we had a whole lot of fun channeling our inner Britney and Justin at the AMAs 😂
Speaking of my sorority, we apply for new positions once we get back from Christmas break, and I’m very excited to take on another leadership role in Phi Mu. Currently I’m the Greek Relations Chair, but I will let y’all know if anything changes in that department – you’ll just have to read my next life update!
After Thanksgiving break we had two weeks and then finals, which was very hectic and I am so glad to have it over with. All my finals were crammed into 48 hours, but I felt pretty good about my exams/papers. The best thing about this semester being over is I’m done with the business classes I was stuck in after changing my major (I did drop accounting though 🎉). I’m so excited that I finally get to start my Strat Comm classes next month!!
The most exciting news though is that I bought Taylor Swift tickets for the day after I finish sophomore year! My best friend Julia and I make it a point to go to Taylor Swift concerts together and this will be our fourth (we’re crazy, we know!). But honestly, I can’t think of any better motivation for the next round of finals than getting to see Taylor Swift when it’s all over.
Now that this semester’s finals are over, I’m back home for Christmas break! I just got back yesterday morning and I am thrilled to be home for the next month! I still feel like I’ll only be here for a few days until I head back to the Fort, a whole month at home just doesn’t feel real right now. While I don’t have many plans for this break, the next week will consist of Christmas shopping, wrapping, and baking – I couldn’t be happier!
I’ve included a few other photos from the past month or so, and down below I’ve linked the items I’ve been wearing nonstop this month! Happy holidays!!
xx, C
