To Infinity and Beyond

Hello everybody!! Friday is approaching quite quickly and I am so happy. Today is going to be a topic that is loved by a lot of you wonderful people and something that I love to talk about: Travel. I just want to apologize beforehand. I talk about travel A LOT. I can't help it. Traveling makes me ooze with happiness. Sadly enough, I haven't been back to Europe ever since 2013. But soon enough. all of that is going to change. So in honor of my future travels, here are a few places that I am very interested in visiting when I make the move to the UK!

This location is quite the picturesque scene. Beautiful fountains and beautiful statues. Definitely a place that should be on every travelers list.

If any of you have been to any of these places or live in England, let me know in the comments and tell me how awesome they are in person(or don't. I get jealous easily). If you are like me, and you long for these places, let me know as well. Have a wonderful night or day my beautiful travel junkies.

Hello everybody! Now I know...I didn't upload yesterday! Although there really is no excuse, today's post is quite special. Last night, I went to a Christmas party. But not just some plain old regular Christmas party...Two of our architecture building professors, Carl and Scott, threw a nice Christmas party for the design club. Carl is an interior designer, and Scott is a landscape architect, so you can only image how amazing their house was. They have over 20 acres of land to themselves! How insane is that! It's like their own private oasis. 

I had gotten the invitation a few days before that, and the entry fee was either a $5 donation or bring your own dish. As it was a Christmas party, I decided to dress festive.

But when I got there, I immediately felt under dressed. But hey, what can you do?

When we got to room where the party would happen, there was an island set up with a lot of foods, drinks and such for the party. I just couldn't wait to dig in. We couldn't eat quite yet because the party hadn't started, so we had to go outside by the barn and socialize for a bit.

When we arrived, there was this table set-up where we had to make a cute, Christmas themed candle holder using styrofoam cups, pine cones, felt roses, and a mini pine tree sample.

 I can't say mine turned out as lovely as I wanted it to, but it was quite nice. 

When we all made our decoration, we had to gather near their lovely barn and this is where the surprise took place.

The two professors came to the front and I thought they were going to give some sort of speech, but when I heard Laura, another one of our professors, start saying the wedding speech people say when they marry a couple, my face turned into utter surprise...Our professors were getting married and we didn't even know about it! The wedding was so cute, small and close-knit, and there were some tears shed all around. I just felt so honored to have witnessed such a beautiful moment. And the fact that they shared it with all of us is even more special.  

After that was over, we all herded into the house to eat some food. Almost everyone brought something, and I am not kidding when I say I filled my entire plate with food. There was so much food that I actually started to stack on top of the other foods. Everything was just so good. Not to mention that their house is absolutely lovely. 

The night was filled with conversation, laughter, and fun. Sadly, it all came to an end, but it surely isn't a night I will forget any time soon.

Day 11 Calendar Reveal

Hello everybody!! Before I start, I just want to say that my stressful week is finally over! So I am celebrating my first free night by watching Zoella's vlogmas series. 

We are finally in the double digits guys! I feel like I don't have to tell you what this is because it's not a surprise. Dear Lord, please give me more peppermint white chocolate...

Hello everybody!! Happy hump day! Two more days and we are free from our responsibilities!

Hello everybody! I hope you all had a splendid day! Slowly but surly, the end of the week is coming.

Most of the time, I barely have enough money to buy my own groceries. I know having a job would make things way easier, but I did not have that opportunity this school year. But you better bet your bottom dollar that sophomore year, I am going to be working my butt of. Sophomore year is the year that I must absolutely focus on school and a job because once junior year hits, it all goes up from their. Rome, internships, traveling. I need to be 110% prepared for what is to come.

Usually, when I want some style inspiration, instead of looking at celebrities and the kinds of things they wear, I look at WeHeartIt. Yes, you heard right. WeHeartIt is easily one of my all time favorite apps ever made. Most of my outfit inspirations come from there. Also, believe it or not, some of the girls in my studio class are my style icons. They come to class all nicely put together, whilst I am looking like a potato with jeans and a t-shirt. Every time I see someone who always dresses nice, I just want to say "Can I please have your closet?". Or rather, "Can you shop for me?". A long-term goal that I want to achieve is the ability to go shopping without having to worry about how much money I spend. Obviously, that will take years of blogging, working, and saving, but I feel like at some point in my life, I will eventually reach that wondrous goal. To give you a quick rundown of the types of styles that I like, here are a few pictures I saved from WeHeartIt:

Hello everybody! Happy Monday(not for me)! This is going to be a very stressful week for me. The only thing keeping me together is the thought that I'm going home next week for a whole month and Justin Bieber's album. 

Today, I did some Christmas shopping for my siblings(and maybe me). I can't exactly say where I went because my sister reads my blog, but all I know is that they are going to love their gifts. I may be broke now, but I had a great day. I finished my work in studio early so I left to go to the mall to gift shop. I got everything from one store(a favorite of mine) and I am really glad I went there because they were having a really good sale that I just could not pass up. The people at the store were really nice, and as I was leaving, one of the workers mom called me pretty. Now you know how happy that made me and I had an extra pep in my step after that. I was prepared to leave until some lady from a kiosk stopped me. They were selling some really cool nail kit for like $50. Usually, I just let them talk and do their demonstration, then tell them I'll be back in the future but I never am. But this time, she nicked me. I was actually persuaded to buy it...BUT I got it for a deal because she liked me and thought I was pretty! That's two compliments in 10 minutes. I didn't think my heart could take it. She was from Israel and had a cool accent. She was very pretty as well. I ended up buying the product even cheaper than their deal. I left that kiosk happier than when I got there. But it's not over yet. As I was making my way towards the exit of the mall, ANOTHER person called me pretty. My self esteem shot through the roof, and it usually doesn't get high very often. So moments like these make me really like myself. Now if only boys tell me I'm pretty.


So I guess you could say I had a pretty good day. I just had to tell somebody, so why not tell you all? Tomorrows post topic is going to be a bit more interesting than this one. I am going to talk about fashion and what kind of styles I like and do an outfit of the day. So look forward to that tomorrow. But for now, let's just focus on this...

More chocolate! Who would have guessed!? (Everyone. The answer is everyone...)

Have a great week everybody! And remember...

Hello everybody! Are you enjoying your December so far? Mine is beginning to become a bit stressful. I have an exam next week and an English paper due the same day. I also still have to study for the exam AND for the final the week after that. Christmas break is so close yet so far. This build up is driving me insane. 

Hello everybody! I hope you all had a good Saturday. I spent the day in bed and studying at the library. Now, I'm just snuggled in my bed, knitting a hat and watching Zoe Sugg's Vlogmas. 

Since design is something that I like to do, I decided to decorate my room for Christmas and do a little festive room tour. So let's get right to it!

I apologize today's post is quite short. I honestly do not know what kind of things you want me to talk about because no one talks to me on here. But it's okay because I will get there eventually.  

And the countdown continues...
