College My Way

This weekend has been a little busy.  Because I finished my homework for Friday on Wednesday afternoon, my roommate from freshmen year, Courtney, convinced me to go to the Cactus (the popular Thursday night spot) with her and her boyfriend John.  It was fun to dance, and we didn't stay super late because Court had an 8:30 a.m. class the next day.  So I was in bed by 12:15 a.m. That is my kind of night!

8 a.m. on Saturday found me at the armory for Ultimate Frisbee practice.  I feel rusty sometimes, but then I remember that while I'm not the best thrower, I am a good cutter and have plenty of endurance.  I'll get back in the swing of things, especially if I keep going to practice regularly.  I've been making it a priority, which has been great!   After practice, we went to a teammate's apartment for pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage, and we got jerseys!  Check out our awesome green shirts!

The white jersey is alright (although it fits differently than the green... whatever), but the shorts are awesome too.  They are a grey, but they're comfy and a nice length.  Also, I got to keep my number from last year, 8!

Purdue shows free movies at Fowler (Flicks at Fowler) every so often, so three of my friends and I saw "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" at 7 p.m. last night.  It was emotional, but I really liked it. All the references to Pittsburgh and Penn State made me miss a certain someone though.  Orange Leaf afterwards and a Walmart run completed my night.

Today is a day full of band: First Degree for Psi, Boiler Brass (go Boilers, beat Iowa!), and Chapter for KKY. Oh, and trying to fit more homework in there.

Have a productive day!

Preppy Purdue

Some of my favorite bloggers are all about the button-up shirts under sweaters.  So I decided to try it, and I loved it!  First of all, I like the neutral colors together... I feel like it gives it a classic look.  Secondly, I love these dark jeans.  They work with boots, but they are also the perfect length/tightness to rock with TOMS, Converse low-tops, or sandals.  The best part of this outfit was that I was warm and confident all day. 

Sometimes I wonder if I'm vain because I love dressing up and attempting to be fashionable, but then I realized that there is nothing wrong with dressing so that you feel pretty, cute, smart, whatever.  It's a total confidence booster, and when you look great, you feel great.  So don't apologize for loving clothes, your hair, or your favorite pair of shoes, and go rock your look!

Happy Friday!

Back to school...

Ah college.  I confess: I love it.  Sometimes it is stressful (okay, most of the time it is stressful), packed with homework and quizzes and exams, and so-cold-I-don't-want-to-leave-my-bed mornings, but seriously, when else in our lives do we get to essentially make our own schedule, live nearby a Starbucks and multiple coffee shops, and not feel guilty about wearing black all the time?  Okay, so maybe the last part is just for me (BOILER UP).  While it took me awhile to get back in the swing of things... college is quite the adjustment from working full-time... I am now living in college mode again.  Ultimate Frisbee practices, easy-peasy reading for my Music Appreciation classes, and memorizing when teachers have offices hours.  Fortunately, the storm of homework hasn't hit yet.  After posting this blog, I'm going to attempt to finish my Spacecraft Dynamics homework... that is due on Friday.  And note: I only have 1/8 of one problem left, and I know how to do it.  Of course, there is this dread in my mind that the storm is coming... I'll be waiting though. 

Check out my first day of school outfit (the purple v-neck and scarf) and the outfit I wore yesterday.  Same jeans, but I like them way better with the TOMS as opposed to with the fake Sperry's.  Note to self: don't pair American Eagle jeans with gold Sperry's.  Seriously, why does it look so weird?!?!  

As a bonus, I've posted a picture of my new climbing shoes, made by Evolv. They're cute and useful: they met my approval bouldering the other day in Purdue's kick-ass new recreational center.  I am so glad I get another year to enjoy it!

I tend to update that more frequently!  Anyway, have a happy Hump Day!
