College Gameday!

I am on such a HIGH right now! My amazing Hokies beat #1 Duke last night!!!! We won 64-60 and lead for most of the game!

Before we knocked the Devils off their throne, we had ESPN's College Gameday come to Blacksburg! Although, I did not attend (early morning + waiting in long lines are not my favorite) we had so much amazing support there!

My Hokies make me a little nervous but we pulled out an amazing win! It was one of the best, if not THE best, basketball games I have ever been to (and I have had season tickets since freshman year). We had some amazing plays and showed the world we are ready to be heard as a force in basketball.

We rushed the court following the game, it was like a rave on steroids. So many people, so excited, so loud, so smelly! We also had to maneuver the crowds to get down there and jump from about 10 feet! But it was all worth it to see my Hokies get a much deserved WIN!!! Now we are ready for the NCAA Tournament!

Dreaming of a 5K

While I have been trying to step up my workout regimen, its hard to keep up to working out everyday with everything going on in my life. I usually work out about 3-4 days a week and would like to get it up to 5 consistently.

I have been trying to continue to my Shaun T. Insanity Workouts, but doing it in a sorority house used for many events is sometimes hard to do. And I love my school's gym! This summer they added a huge addition, including a new cardio machine area, weight room and group class rooms. My favorite is the amazing tv's on the machines, making working out a little more enjoyable.

However, my goal this semester is to run a 5k without walking (and by run, I mean jog). I ran/walked our "3.2 for 32 Run in Remembrance" last year and want to run it the entire way this year! Hopefully, I will be able to complete my goal by April 16th or sooner since there are many 5k options in the Spring!

Last year's 3.2 for 32!

Lilly Pillows

As I searched Ebay for any cute goods for cheap, I found an amazing vendor (who should try Etsy out) that any Lilly-loving girl will love! These would be prefect to spice up any dorm room or young girl's apartment with some color and pizazz!

OOTD: Wintery Weather

So I finally discovered the magic behind Polyvore and decided to make an Outfit of the Day! I wore the following outfit to class and to run errands today. It is really cold, so I pulled out my trusty Uggs and warm sweater and added some color with my favorite Lilly Scarf!
