Hey Y'all & Happy Monday!
It is so good to finally get a chance to sit down and write a post! I apologize for being M.I.A this month; school has seriously taken over my life! I am in the last month of my first semester and I am trying to tie up my loose ends into a pretty bow! However, October has been a fantastic month, and quite eventful to say the least. So where should we start?
The first weekend of October kick-offed the month properly. I went to the UT vs Florida game and got to be a part of Checker Neyland (which if you have not seen the pics, simply google them or look down below!!!) Unfortunately we lost the game, but it was definitely a fun experience to be a part of.
So fast forward to the next weekend and I finally got the chance to celebrate UT Homecoming as a student. As some of you may know, my mom is proud alumna from UT and I have been partaken in a few on campus events growing up. But this year was special because we got to celebrate together! On top of it all, a few of my best friends came home to participate in the festivities and that made this much more memorable. AND I finally got to wear my $20 dress from Bluetique (which I am IN LOVE with!)
After a long and tiring (but fun) weekend, I had a three day week of classes followed by a peaceful fall break! I took my short two days to sleep in and lounge around, which is something I don't do as often as I would like! I definitely don't think the break was long enough, but I gladly took the two days given!
Returning to classes on Monday was slightly difficult, but I pushed through the sluggish week. On Friday, my group of friends and I attended Big Orange Madness, an event that introduces the men's and women's basketball teams. I am NOT a basketball fan, but I am all for free t-shirts and campus events! Plus it is always nice to show your school spirit and support! Later that night, we went out to Vol Night Long, which is a huge campus party with food, a d.j. and different activities that happens once a month. Despite the cold weather, and the fact that I hurt myself on the way to the event, I had a good time! I am definitely hoping for the next one is indoors! I closed off the weekend by tailgating for the Alabama game the next afternoon and on Sunday going to see Dear White People, a definite must see!
I ended my month by celebrating Halloween with my father's church! I dressed as Tigerlily using a no-sew caftan tutorial and making the headband! My sister went as Kanga from Winnie the Pooh! I had a pretty chill Halloween, which is definitely what I needed after a sleepless week!
In between all of these eventful weekends, I managed to get a new job as a Seasonal Sellebrity for Old Navy, celebrate River's first Birthday, and cheer on the Karns Lady Beaver's soccer team on their way to becoming district champs! So if you managed to read through this, CONGRATULATIONS you can now view a some pictures of my life this month! I am sad to say good-bye to October because I miss all of my pumpkin flavored foods and nice weather, but on the bright side November - January is my favorite time of the year! Hopefully I will be posting much more this month!
