adventures in black and white
so im not a very good photographer (and this blog is certainly evidence of that) but i LOVE taking pictures and i'm really trying to get better. like pretty much everyone, i love instagram for my iphone pictures but the other day i decided to play around with taking a few pictures in black and white while a bunch of us were out on a walk...

the last weeks
i have been the worst blogger ever the last couple weeks! my life the last few days has been quite the interesting combination....
1. i (finally) handed in my honors thesis in religion so barring any huge missteps, i should now be done with my college capstone experience! if i never read another conservative article about how Islam is going to take over America, i will be a very, very happy camper
2. a bunch of friends and i cooked an enormous easter dinner for "the family" which included me forgetting that the grocery closed on easter sunday and running like a madwoman to buy a perfectly round water-based ham at the quicky mart... all was well though - i dressed up the ham with a mustard and maple glaze, popped it in the oven, and sealed my lips as to its origins. 20 of us crammed into the living room and celebrated together like family was meant to do
3. i've been applying to jobs like a crazy person and having daily misgivings about my preparedness for real life. i've spent all year anticipating the end of school and now that it's actually happening i feel like im begging time to slow down. i can't believe that in a few weeks i won't be able to walk across the street and into a house full of all my best friends - one of whom is always willing to order pizza and watch a movie with me. i'm definitely going to need a hobby once i start living by my lonesome
4. my final spring party weekend has come and gone. despite bouts of gloomy weather, the weekend was pulled off with no major casualties (with the exception of a little bit of my dignity and a lot of my liver)
so, as you can see, between writing my thesis, pondering my future, and drinking my life away, there's been little time for wanderlusting.

if all of that was too wordy, here is my last week in pictures:
colgate in the sun
lunch with friends
adventures in the woods
walks with my favorite pup
lots of time in my cubicle
easter dinner with the family
bleacher coffees
coconut cream pies
lots of drinking
bonfires
more drinking
dancing in the rain

future living
i don't know if it's just because i'm about to graduate into the great unknown that we like to call the "real world" or if im simply hankering for a space to call my own after living in dorms with roommates for four years, but i can't seem to stop combing the web for home decorating ideas. call me crazy, but at night i go to sleep thinking about paint colors, curtains, and chaise lounges when i really should be focused on my honors thesis and looking for jobs. i don't even know where i'm going to be come june, but alas!, i know it will be well decorated. i never thought that i'd be one for white couches and clean lines - i've always considered myself more of a hippie-cluttered girl - but now that i've starting looking everything i love is light, neutral, and airy... apparently my style has changed. right now my favorite way to collect inspiration is definitely on pinterest but there's a few blogs i've been loving too...

blush
if i had unlimited funds i would probably have a closet filled solely with blush colored clothing in soft fabrics. something about the color just makes me feel beautiful, put together, and utterly feminine. who am i kidding? it makes me feel like a grown up classy lady... something i am most certainly not.
