Cars

Currently, I am driving my Dad's old 1999 Acura TL. I am so thankful to have been able to drive the car around at school the past two years, however, after this year I will pass the torch onto my sister so she can use it at college. With this in mind, I have been looking into some new cars for me in the real world!


Ford Escape

Jeep Patriot

Nissan Rouge

Kia Sportage

Mazda CX-7

As you can see, I really like small SUV's and crossovers. Hopefully, I will be able to afford one with a big girl job! Does anyone have any suggestions for a new, realiable car under $25,000?

Dressing for Themes

College is back in session and everyone loves a good theme party! While everyone knows about the typical toga and jungle parties and loves dressing up for Halloween, you'll find yourself going to some really creative theme parties!

Boots, Bowties, and Boxers

Stop Light Party
Wear Red, Green, or Yellow according to your relationship status.

90's Party or Favorite Childhood Memory
Some great ideas include Skip It and Legends of the Hidden Temple!

If it is not NEON, it should not be on!
As much NEON as possible!

80's or Aerobics Party
Leggings, Headbands, Side Ponies

Jock Jams
You will definitely need a sports jersey for college!

Highlighter Party
You'll need a white shirt and highlighters, I love to add some neon leggings too!

First Week Recap

So I finished my last syllabus week of school and am now getting into reading, homework and studying! My class schedule is not ideal, class all day Tuesday and Thursday and class 5:30-6:45 Monday and Wednesday. I am still trying to get used to sitting around all day M/W but hopefully once I get more work, I will be a busy bee M/W.

I have been living it up so far senior year. Going into my senior year, everyone said to enjoy it because soon I'll be a working gal. So I have taken their advice and decided to take every opportunity to have fun and try new things outside the norm!

Becca and I at TOTS!

This past Friday and Saturday I took a friend up on an offer to go to nearby Smith Mountain Lake. With Hurricane Irene on her way through Virginia we were unable to truly enjoy the lake but we did see "Crazy, Stupid, Love" and now I love Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling even more!

Lastly, Tuesday was my roommate Lindsay's birthday! We bar hopped, sang karaoke, and in true birthday girl fashion she had to leave early that night after starting at 7:30pm! And unfortunately we were having too much fun to take pictures.

I can't wait for this weekend ... Hokie Football begins with our White Out game!
