ITS OFFICIAL. My freshman year of college is over. WOW. Its starting to set in even though I finished on Thursday. I'm realizing that I'm like...home...for the next couple months..I don't have to worry about homework! I do have to worry about money though. I'm in definite need of a job, to earn money and fill up all this free time I have.

Freshman year was fantastic but I seriously cannot wait to go back in August. I'll be moving into an apartment, I'll be taking more photography classes, and I'm super excited for all my high school friends to start attending KU.

I can't stop listening to...Black Keys, I always get really into indie music when its nice out.

I can't stop thinking about...finding a job

I'm looking forward to...starting my internship!

I should probably get around to...finding things to do this summer...I have SO much free time now

My favorite thing about this week was...COMING HOME!

Happy weekend to everyone!

Well I've got four more days and then I'm moving back home! Can't believe my freshman year is basically over, or how quickly it went by! Things are definitely winding down. I've got an Art History final on Monday to study for but almost all my other finals are already done with because they are either projects or papers. Then its time for me to get serious and start looking for a summer job :/ Keep your fingers crossed for me! This girl needs to start making money again.

I can't stop listening to...Who Says by John Mayer

I can't stop thinking about...getting to wear summer clothes again!

I'm looking forward to...being on summer break!!!

I should probably get around to...hardcore studying

My favorite thing about this week was...not having class on Friday! sleeping in was fantastic. 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! and happy Mother's Day!

final project

My final project for photography was a comparison of my mom and I, showing how similar and different we are through inanimate objects, choices we make, etc. I am so so so very happy with it. Sad that we have to print in black & white for this class but its still a great collection

Last weeks post definitely got away from me, I didn't even have pictures to post. I was just not feeling it. But this week was so much better. We had 3 beautiful days of good weather...before getting hit with snow on the 2nd day of May. Gotta love Kansas! Things are starting to slow down, I'm finding a lot of extra time to work on my design project and work out regularly. My photo project is nearly done! I've got to turn it in next weekend.

I can't stop listening to...music that gets me in the mood for summer, like country music!

I can't stop thinking about...job interviews! one this week and one next week. 

I'm looking forward to...moving out of the dorms!

I should probably get around to...organizing my room back home! Its about to be full of all my stuff.

My favorite thing about this week was...those 3 days of amazing weather we had

Have a great first weekend of May everyone!

year of better cooking

4 down, 9 to go! This recipe was one that I was very excited to make. Besides the fact that I am completely and totally in love with breakfast foods, (is that possible? Can you have romantic feelings for a whole group of foods?) I also love things that are covered with fresh fruit. The recipe just calls for "soft fruits" but I took after the example and used strawberries and blueberries as well as mango and apple slices. 

p.s. I almost devoured the whole pan. You guys have GOT to make this.

This week went by crazy fast! I almost forgot to post this blog post! I wish I could say that I had a busy week but I had so much free time that I enjoyed every minute of it. Not many pictures to document it but I do have pictures of my photo project!

Last night, I made cookies for a friend who goes to college in Boston. She has been tweeting and facebooking all week and my heart goes out to her as well as the rest of Boston. I thought she could use something familiar like chocolate chip cookies. I don't know anyone else in Boston but I've been extremely drawn to the city this week, I can't stop following the news and all the reports. Glad that it is all over now. The city can finally take a breather.

Today, I am competing in KU's Amazing Race! So excited to do something like this with two of my friends and fingers crossed that we do well!!

I can't stop listening to...Same Love by Macklemore. Yet another example of how good Macklemore is!

I can't stop thinking about...finding a job!

I'm looking forward to...next weekend=BLACK KEYS!

I should probably get around to...grocery shopping!

My favorite thing about this week was...how much free time I had, it was relaxing!

Happy Weekend to all!!

the little things

This week was both the longest and shortest week of my life. I feel like I packed so much into it and its already over. I'm embarrassed that I barely photographed my week. I finally turned in my chair project, along with an English paper and started the week out with an Art History test. I was dragging the entire week, I think stress kept me up at night and even as I'm writing this, I can feel myself wanting to go back to bed. The weather didn't help that, we're back in the 30s for awhile. But I have a big problem with taking naps, I really can't do them unless I'm sick or sleep deprived because I always wake up cranky. If I'm feeling tired, I always make myself go on a run because fortunately, I can tell when I don't need a nap, just some good old endorphins to wake me up. That belief has taken a toll on my shins though which need to be iced constantly :/

Enough complaining, I'm really looking forward to this weekend! It will be filled with friends, family, warm weather and lots of sleep. AND among all the stress in this week, I landed a Design internship at the Nelson Atkins this summer! I am so so so excited for it.

I can't stop listening to...American Boy by Estelle. I love most songs that Kanye is featured on

I can't stop thinking about...these next few weeks!

I'm looking forward to...getting some sleep! I feel like I haven't slept since Spring Break

I should probably get around to...icing my shins some more! 

My favorite thing about this week was...getting it over with!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
