Transformation Tuesday: Dorm, Sweet Dorm!

Happy Tuesday, my dear!

I have been living on campus for two months now, and it has LITERALLY taken this long for me to complete my dorm room. The thing that I love about living in a dorm is your space is YOUR space! You can decorate (or not decorate) as much as you would like to. For me, my room is all of my dream Pinterest rooms all in one. I have cute diy projects, everything is perfectly color coordinated, and it's organized.

Weekend Recap: Fair Frenzy

Happy Monday Darlings!

 

I hope your week is starting off much better than mine has! As some of my local readers know, the Tennessee Valley Fair was going on all last week, and I was able to slip away from campus and partake in the festivities with some of my closest friends. Although I don't enjoy the rides, this is one of my favorite fall festivities! Especially since this is one of the few times a year I get to pig out on the unhealthiest of foods and not feel like a fatty!

 ^ This is the best frozen strawberry lemonade EVER!

 

 

 ^ Nightly Firework Show! (I love Ashley's face)

 

^ This is my favorite picture from the night because I concurred my fear of heights and "enjoyed" a Ferris Wheel ride with my sister and our best friends, Asia and Janeé!

^ This was the moment I waited for... Deep Fried Oreos! It's just perfection covered in powdered sugar!

I know that I have probably gained back half the weight I lost, but it was definitely a night well spent!

WCW: Mr. KHS Pageant 2014

It is Wednesday, right?

So last night I went back to my high school Alma Mater to see my best friend, James (who will be launching a blog soon!!) compete in the Mr. KHS Pageant. This is a past tradition at Karns which a faded off over the years, and was brought back this year as a Homecoming fundraiser. The pageant features guys who dress up as girls and compete in Outfit of Choice, Q & A, and Evening wear. The competition was fierce, and every girl, I mean guy channeled their inner Queen Bey as they strutted across the stage. The audience definitely had their fair share of laughs and giggles, and I am sure the guys enjoyed it. In the end, James took home the crown and made me a proud best friend! I am looking forward to attending next Friday's Homecoming Game, and hopefully seeing the beavers win!

Happy 220th Birthday

Happy Founder's Day to the University of Tennessee! In honor of this big day, I thought I would you all my five reasons why I love UTK!

1. If you don't know, UT is located in the heart of my hometown, Knoxville. Knoxville is such a great college town. There is a great variety of events and activities to attend, which all are a walk (or trolley) ride away. 

2. UTK has the best fans in the SEC! No matter how many games we lose, the Vol Nation continues to show up and show out! It's nothing like a UT football game to bring us together decked out in our orange! 

3. There is something for EVERYONE! I love how there is so much to get involved with. There are over 400 organizations on campus, and they are vary on topics. In my month here, I've learned there are at least 10 organizations  I want to get involved with during my time here. 

4. We are one extremely LARGE family. I love feeling like I am wanted and I belong. When I was making my decision between coming here or going to UTC, UTK made me feel wanted. I received letters, hand written note cards,  just expressing how excited they were for me to become a UT Vol. 

5. I look great in orange! But really though, you can't tell me I don't look great! 

So here's to you, UTK, and 220 more years to come!
