I'm back at Sewanee, and life is exciting and fun and new all over again. It has always been tough for me to get back in the swing of school, but this year has been surprisingly easy. I live in a house now that I share with 5 other girls, as opposed to a janky dorm that I shared with 90 other students the past two years. I have my own bathroom (for the first time), a balcony right off my room, and even air conditioning! It truly is a palace for my roommate and I. The weather is amazing, and my friends and I have already made our way down to our favorite spot, Lake Dimmick. After dinner tonight I went on a solo bike ride to a close second favorite spot on campus, Lake Cheston. The sun was about to set, and I was the only student on the backroads. As the pink sky glistened across the glass-like water (lol), life felt so different from what it has been these last couple of months. Sewanee is such a unique and amazing place and I am so lucky to be able to go to school here.
Here are some of my recent snaps:

I've been jamming to a bunch of girl bands recently. Here are some of my favorites:

Bonjour, friends.
At least until the end of the summer, I want to start using this space as a visual journal. I'm crazy about recording memories, and I've kept a journal since I could write. I've found myself taking lots of photos this summer, so here is where I will share them.
So, it's that time of year again...time to go back to school! At this point of the summer last year, I was beyond nervous. I had a breakdown almost every day because I had no idea what new experiences were waiting for me at Sewanee, where I was about to start as a freshman.
This summer, however, has been quite the different story. Now that I know that I absolutely love my school and every person there, I cannot wait to get back. It's the best feeling in the world to be ecstatic to start school again.
At school, when I am not hunkered down in the library studying or in the dining hall eating, you will most likely be able to find me on the dance floor with all of my friends. This summer has been particularly lacking in the dance aspect, so I have been improvising by researching and discovering some of the newest and freshest tracks to dance to with my chums once I get back on The Mountain.
These songs are what I am sharing with you today. So, pull out your wedged sneakers and fancy snapback, and dance with me...
