Denim on Denim

Busy busy day today! Basically busy life in general. Sometimes I think I am over-committed, but there's really nothing I can drop right now. Right now I'm working two jobs as an RA and a waitress, I am the president of a ballet club, an educational programming chair in NSSLHA at Miami (National Student Speech Language and Hearing Association), going to church, and still taking 6 classes. Along with that, I've got to apply to graduate school, study for the GRE, and make time for friends. It's been a crazy year, but I try to take it day by day so that I do not get overwhelmed.

Today was booked, but I enjoyed my day. I think often times if I shower and put together a nice outfit, my attitude for the day is so much more positive. I told this to Brent today, and he said, "You're such a girl." I'm about as girly as it gets! It is something that I like about myself most of the time.

Today, one of my most fun events was interviewing my Grandma for a gerontology paper. I asked her lots of questions about aging, her views on her life at this point, and her background. It was so interesting to talk to her about these issues because they do not normally come up in a typical conversation. I enjoyed learning more about her and hearing about her life!

Funny moment of the day/ confession...while doing a group project in one of the therapy rooms in the speech clinic, I spilled half a bowl of ramen on the floor. It's going to be a fun surprise tomorrow when people go in there to do therapy and it reeks of artificial chicken flavoring!! To all you speechies at Miami, don't tell on me! ;) (For those of you who do not know, "speechie" is the name we call a person studying speech pathology).

Here is my outfit post of the day. I'm being crazy and sporting some denim on denim! It was my little fashion risk today :).

 Love these jeans because they have zippers and pockets on the side, which make them unique.

Not a clear shot, but a cool night photo of the quad.

Bling and pink of course!

Calm and Cool

Have you ever just sat with your window open and listened to the rain? Personally, it is one of my most favorite things! I wish I could take a picture of the amazing downpour out my window right now, but it wouldn't be clear. Tonight I was lucky enough to actually be home and able to enjoy the rain! After being a big pain in the butt and putting in three reports for a screen in my window, it was finally put in. Now my window can be open without bugs and leaves flying in. My favorite relaxation activity is doing my reading homework in bed while listening to the rain. Another bonus with the rain is wearing rain boots. Unfortunately mine have recently ripped :(. I'm too poor to buy new ones, so they'll be on my birthday list.

Speaking of birthday....MINE IS IN 13 DAYS!!!! I'll be 22!!! The most depressing age so far in my life of birthdays. It means no more privileges to look forward to on future birthdays. I'm sorry, that is a lie. I believe at 25 you can rent a car, so that's something to be excited for! It's official though, I'm an adult. The real world is coming in about 7 1/2 months. Going to enjoy college while it lasts! Grad school will not be the same experience.

On the subject of birthdays, here are some of the items on my wish list/ to buy list for this fall once I have money. Of course, I am requesting no presents this year since I'm so old. Parents, here are some hints if you so happen to need any ;). Just realized how many shoes are on my list...

1. Gold leaf bangle bracelet from Bip and Bop on Etsy

2. Steve Madden "Troopa" in Stone Leather

3. Name necklace like this one, can be found on Etsy. 

4. Gift card to MAC for some new lipsticks!

5.  Steve Madden "Olympiaa" in taupe...my #1 most wanted gift!

6.  Sperry "Pelican Too" rain boots in quilted black

7. Also, a new camera! Mine has been broken since last March. I want an updated one that takes quality photos and has cool settings. 

Brown Hair...Need Opinions!

All my readers are getting lucky today because I'm posting twice in one day! The purpose of this post is to gain your opinions on my new hair color for the fall. Please comment on what I should do! The options are staying blonde, going full-on brown, or going to more of a caramel-brown hair color. Here are some pictures of my past hair, and colors I am thinking about. Comment which you think I should go with!
