confession

i have a confession to make, i have a secret girl crush on jayma mays, more specifically her character emma pilsbury on glee and her wardrobe on the show. i love gingers, pencil skirts, cardigans, and heels and she has the bases covered. plus shes just so freaking adorable. im not sure if this is normal but oh well i dont care.





this is possibly my favorite outfit of hers, love the purple and ruffles!



does anyone else have a girl crush or am i alone on this??
and after finding this, im even more in love

the weekend

this weekend i went home for the first time since labor day weekend and it was lovely. i got to see the lovebugs and bake with them, saw lovebutton and went to the movies with my best friend and all sorts of silliness ensued afterwards.

we went to whole foods!


then i taught her how to lick the brownie batter from the bowl


we snuck in slushies to the movies along with cookies and brownies. everyone needs to go see Life As We Know It, it was soooo good. there were parts where i was crying and laughing simultaneously. really go see it!
after the movies best friend and i decided we were going to leave an operation beautiful post it note in the theaters bathroom but we got sidetracked and forgot so we just decided to leave them on our friends cars instead.




now the post it notes are up in their houses!
and we also tried out spin pins they were pretty fun even though the first few attempts were completely awful






hope you all enjoy your day loves, im writing papers for the rest of my life.

yesterday i decided to create my own fall break since rutgers does not have one. so instead of heading back to school yesterday, im not leaving until this afternoon. since alot of my friends had a fall break i wanted to have my own. its been a really weekend and im still catching up on everything and i think the lack of sleep i had is causing me to become sick, tomorrow i'll talk about some of the stuff i did. until enjoy these pictures:

alternative break

dear bloggers,

keep your fingers crossed for me, i just finished applying to participate in my schools alternative break program. if im chosen i could get to go on one of these trips:
either winter break
Mississippi Delta
Home Rehabilitation/Educational achievement gap
New Orleans
Disaster Relief
Virginia
Issues of developmentally disabled adults and children
Orlando, Florida
Give Kids the World Village

or spring break
West Virginia
Southern Appalachian Labor School/Rural Poverty
Maryville, Tennessee

Camden, NJ/Philadelphia, PA
Home Rehabilitation/Educational achievement gap

i really hope i get chosen for the next round of group interviews, i've always loved doing service projects because of my involvement in 4-H growing up. my friend that attends willim and mary in virginia has gone on these trips before and has told how great they are, hopefully i'll get the chance to experience a trip like this. keep your fingers crossed that i get chosen so i can have this once in a lifetime experience!

wishful thinking

this might sounds corny but i've always had a love affair with the south. when i was little my family always took trips to gatlinburg, tennessee and i think from that minute on my heart belonged to the southern way of life. my dream was to attend the university of tennesee or a school in virginia and never return to the state of new jersey. however that did not happen and i attend school in state. one day however i plan to live in virginia, west virginia or tennesee in a house like this:

my husband and i will have a little garden and we'll live a mile away from our neighbors. we'll only buy produce from farmers markets and our kids will drink out of these

we'll have some dogs and cats, a cow and chickens and a little pot bellied pig. we'll follow college football religiously, their father will teach them how to drive on an old john deere tractor, just like him and i were taught and we will all live a lovely life.

but thats just some wishful thinking of mine. do any of you have thoughts like this about your future? or am i the only crazy one?
