Anyone who has seen the new Taylor Swift video for ‘Blank Space’ knows it was filmed on a big, beautiful estate that looks like a replica of a European palace. Most people don’t know that the video was filmed entirely at Oheka Castle on Long Island. Built in 1919 on the highest point on the island, Oheka […]
Marley Lilly Blogger Review
Exciting news y’all! I’ve been selected to take part in the Marley Lilly Blogger Review Program!! I actually received my first package before I received my e-mail- let’s just say it was a nice surprise in my mailbox! Not only did I receive this adorable bracelet but it came with the cutest Marley Lilly stickers […]
Halloweekend
Some people love going all-out for Halloween, or Halloweekend as it has become known, but to be honest I miss trick-or-treating with my friends- we were really into group costumes, and went as the Stepford Wives one year and Greek goddesses the next! I don’t love parties, however, I will always take an excuse to dress […]
Rise of the Jackolanterns
For the record, I really hate surprises. Even worse, I hate knowing that a surprise is coming. It leaves me with too many questions (all of them superficial)- what do I wear? Are we inside? Outside? Where are we going? What are we doing? What do I need to do with my hair?? Even though I […]
I Am Malala
Friday morning was rushed and hurried, as I was late for my broadcast writing class and arrived to realize I had not studied for our quiz- whoops (I ended up doing pretty well!). With no time to check my phone or my daily Foreign Policy emails (#nerd), I was out of the loop until I […]
CBS News Article
Guess who has her first article up on CBS News?? MEEEEE!!!! I’m so excited I had to immediately post it to Facebook and Twitter, and of course blog about it. This is one of those moments where you realize your hard work truly does pay off. I worked on this story for most of my […]
October
I’m writing this while snuggled into bed, wearing a sweater, listening to She and Him, and waiting for the rain while I enjoy my new ‘Sweater Weather’ scented Wallflower– not a bad start to October! September is supposed to be the ‘beginning’ of fall (except in Texas where it doesn’t cool down until November!), but […]
On the Farm
I’m baaaaack!!! This has been an absolutely crazy month, with non-stop, back-to-back events, between commuting to the city twice a week for my internship, classes, Zeta stuff, Homecoming, and Clarissa visiting!! This weekend will actually be my only weekend that is completely off for another month, so I will be taking full advantage of it with […]
Fall Reading List
Over the summer I talked about my reading list, consisting of some of the books I wanted to finally crack open and a few favorites that I recommend! Now that school has started up, I’ll have a little less time to read, but I wanted to still put together a new list for a new […]
Junior Year
Last night I sat across from my little, watching her unpack her room and realized, “Tomorrow is the first day of my junior year. Of college.” I can’t believe how fast time flies by, and it’s so weird to see groups of freshman wandering around campus and think that that was me 2 years ago. […]
