Wasted Hours

I can't quite describe how I've been feeling lately, so I'll just let this song explain it for me (at least half of the way I feel). It does it much better than I can.

But on the happier side, I am officially done with my first semester of college, I'm home for break, and Christmas is in less than a week! It's so good to be back with my friends and my family and my beautiful home.



And I have a new video up as well!

See you guys soon.

Where the Heart Is

 

 

    
      These photos were taken at the end of a beautiful, happy day spent at home with my parents, and even though there have been plenty of beautiful moments here lately too, I can't help but wish I was back with my family and friends and the beauty that's so unique to home. I guess the week and a half left until Thanksgiving break will go by quickly enough, right?


 Love,

I can't fathom the fact that it's already the middle of October. Seriously, it was just the beginning of summer year like two weeks ago, wasn't it? This also means that I've been in college for two months now.

So far, school has been pretty great (for the most part). I was lucky enough to get amazing room mates who have already become some of the best friends I've ever had. I love all of my classes and I've really started to love learning again. It's invigorating to have teachers who are so obviously knowledgeable and excited about their subjects, and it's a great change from some of the teachers I had in high school. That being said though, I did have quite a few really amazing ones who prepared me for this stage of my education extremely well. I miss home so much all the time, but I really am happy to be here. So often lately I'll catch myself walking around on campus and just feeling so connected to everything and like I have so much to discover. It's such a specific feeling that's EXTREMELY hard to describe, but it's one of the most beautiful feelings I've ever had.

I was looking through some of my memory cards yesterday and saw that I have quite a few sets of pictures from this summer and even before that I never edited or posted, and I thought it was probably time for them to see the light of day. This outfit is from a weekend I spent a home probably about a month and a half ago when it was still warm. I was a bit nervous walking around wearing a floral crown and lipstick (both things that I only wear very rarely), but I made myself make it through the day without taking either off! I guess that's an accomplishment, right?


One last thing! I decided to participate in Vlogtober for the last half of the month, so if you'd care to see you can check out my youtube channel, or just watch the first video below.

Today I just have these wise words from an old song to share with you. 

I know that it would definitely do me a lot of good to keep them in mind.
