Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Hello readers! I am so excited for this school day to be over. Sometimes I think that even though I'm learning a whole lot of very fascinating things in lectures and labs, I'm missing some of the big picture. In science, so much time is spent on the very small, very minute differences and similarities between reactions, organisms, and the forces that cause them. Don't get me wrong, this is all very important and interesting, and it's also the reason we can accomplish as much as we do with all of our technology and medicine. But sometimes I think the big picture of broader concepts and how we are interconnected to each other gets lost in all the small details. I'm not even sure if I'm making sense right now haha. But do you ever experience that feeling when you are completely surrounded by nature that you are in awe of how large everything is and how small you are, but yet you are very interconnected with each other? Or when you are in shavasana after a yoga session and you feel to be completely made up of energy flowing through you, as if your body has seized to physically exist and instead be replaced by that flowing energy? Or that humbling experience when you see the sun rise or set in the most perfect manner and realize it will continue to do so even when you are gone? These are the things I think many people are missing when they wake up, go to class or work, and just get suck in the monotony the routine. I want to be a well rounded person, with a well rounded life. And I hope one day I can say that about myself :). This post got a little more deep than I intended haha. Well I hope you enjoy these thoughts and question you're own life :).

Also, this is actually my Halloween costume from Saturday! Isn't it just super fun and pretty?! I wish I could dress like this everyday haha. But freezing cold Ohio will make sure I bring out my giant parka in a few weeks :/.

Cozy Sweater

Heyy! So here is an outfit post for you! I am loving how today is sunny and warm out! Perfect picture taking weather :). I love taking pictures in the sunlight a lot of the time because the images just turn out much more vibrant. Although that could probably be fixed if I got a better lens, but what college student can afford that? Haha. While we're talking about vibrant colors, the trees have been extra beautiful this week!. I', sorry there aren't very many large trees with bright red leaves by my dorm, but I figured these two would make a decent background haha. I am currently sitting in my room, munching on some apple slices before organic chemistry lab. If anything will ruin my future job prospects, it will be organic chemistry. I just don't seem to be able to grasp any form of chemistry very well... Are any of you who are good at chemistry give me some tips? For now I guess  I will struggle along...

Sweater from Aerie (old), jeans from Abercrombie and Fitch, shoes from Windsor, and sunglasses from RayBan.

Bedroom Interior Inspiration

Hello! I just took some amazingly beautiful pictures of my Halloween costume from Saturday because I thought you really needed to see it haha! But I haven't edited them at all, so those will be coming out Wednesday. Stay tuned :). For today's post, I thought to give you some bedroom inspiration because I am currently in the process of redesigning my bedroom at home!! My mom recently bought a house, so now I will get to completely redo my room. Ahh I'm so excited!! I have been wanting to redo my room for a few years now, and finally I will be able to! These are some of the pictures from my Pinterest board for my new bedroom. I love love love white bedding with some gray or light brown details. I think it's so clean and simple, yet cozy (especially when a fuzzy blanket is added!). I can't wait to actually begin shopping for some of the things because right now it feels almost surreal haha. I'm one of those people who are always like it's not real until it's happening. I never get nervous for something, like a roller coaster or when I used to play sports or perform in musicals, until about five seconds before it was actually happening haha.  So right now I'm still in the waiting phase.

I am completely obsessed with this room. It's Kristen Sundberg's bedroom, and you should totally check her blog http://bykiki.damernasvarld.se for some awesome interior and fashion inspiration. And I definitely want that Prada poster/painting above the bed (I'm only sort of obsessed ;) haha)!!

I also really want a map of the world so I can put pins in all the places that I've been to. It won't be very many, but we all have to start somewhere :).

And here is a throw pillow that I really like :)

Pumpkin Carving

Hello! I know this isn't my usual Sunday outfit post, but I'm still in a Halloween and fall things mood at the moment haha. And I would say that pumpkin carving fits into that mood perfectly. So I figured I would post pictures of the pumpkin I carved yesterday with my boyfriend. I haven't carved a pumpkin in a few years, and this year I just really wanted to haha. The inner child in me was coming out :). So this was the result! I think it turned out super cute and funny haha. I love the googley eyes! I didn't want to make a scary pumpkin, so this was the alternative haha. I decided to name him bob because he reminds of Bob the tomato from Veggie Tales if any of you know what that is haha. My grandma used to have my sister and I watch it all the time! Haha I love childhood memories.

Last night I went out dressed up as a hippie for Halloween. I completely forgot to take pictures of my outfit! I was so annoyed because I thought it was pretty cute if I do say so myself haha. Although, it was exactly the same as this outfit I previously posted except for a few modifications. I didn't wear the sunglasses, switched out the heels for sandals, and added a cute flower crown. It was definitely a very fun weekend. I hope yours was as fun too!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Good morning readers! This morning I'm taking the time to write a decent post about last night because my blogging has just been terrible this week! Ugh I feel so bad! But here you can see my costume from last night. I was Doc from the Seven Dwarfs with some of my friends :). Although to be honest the only reason I wanted to be Doc was so I could wear my glasses out haha. Being the ultimate lazy girl. I think the costumes turned out super cute! Especially with Snow White! In the picture you'll see that there are actually only six dwarfs because we couldn't find a seventh. Our excuse was that Sleepy couldn't hang and fell asleep haha. But last night was so much fun with my friends! We had soo many laughs at all the funny things that happened during the night haha. One to remember for sure :)

Yes that is a medical terminology book in my hands haha.

Halloween!

Hello! It's been awhile since I've been able to give you a quality post! But I love my Thursdays because I have so much time to do what I want to do. It's my 'me day'. I went to class this morning, and then when I came back I decided I wanted to rearrange my room. My roommate took medical leave this semester, just to deal with some stressors and get better. So I now have a single. It's been a little lonely the past few days, getting used to not sharing a room. But I find that once you're in college, or reach the age 18, you're looking for change in your life. So adjusting just becomes natural as you try new things and meet new people. It's makes life fun! Well, I was intending this post to be about halloween, but I sort of went off on a tangent... Anyway, this weekend is Halloween and I'm super excited because Friday I'm being one of the Seven Dwarfs (I'll be Doc) from Snow White with some of my sorority sisters :). And then Saturday I'm going to be hippie. I'm pulling out my crazy blue patterned bell bottomed pants, a crop top, and a flower crown :). This'll be super fun! What are you being for Halloween?

Also, everyone meet Jack. He's basically my new best friend haha.

I'd say we're basically twins. Wouldn't you??

Haha Hugs <3

Current Mood

This picture completely describes my mood about this week so far. I have been absolutely slammed with school work :'(. And it's only Tuesday!! That's why my blogging has been so sub par this week. I just haven't had any time to do anything besides school work. And I can always find time to fit in pictures and my workout, but I haven't at all. So far I would definitely give this week a giant fuck you. Hopefully after tomorrow my week will get easier though :). So enough ranting from me for now haha. Sorry this isn't my usual happy post, but sometimes I think being real is better. Thank you for those who finished reading this by the way haha. Maybe some of you are having a hard week too?
