Visual Journal

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.

Sophomore Year Snaps

Ah yes, another year on the mountain has begun. It's time again for long nights in the library, dorm life, sorority events, friends, and most importantly, being surrounded by my beautiful second home of Sewanee, TN. The outstanding nature and academic buildings that give such life and personality to this campus are a constant photo op for me. It's hard to resist having my camera out at all times!

Back To School

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...

Enchanted Rock

Last week, my friend Paul and I successfully explored the Texas hill country by hiking Enchanted Rock in Fredericksburg, TX.

Prada Marfa

This is a way overdue post about Prada Marfa, which I saw back in July when I visited the tiny artist community that is Marfa, TX (which you can read about here). Prada Marfa is basically a fake Prada store that is out in the middle of nowhere. It's an art installation, but it actually has shoes and purses inside. It's such a surreal sight to see on the side of the road.
