more fall photos...

I just can't stop taking fall pictures! Campus is SO beautiful right now. It doesn't hurt that it's been in the upper 70's for the last week and half. I'm literally waking up every morning praying/thinking that the frost is going to come and it's going to be freezing. 

Please no. Just a little bit longer. 

why not...

Sometimes I just have to say, why not? If I want to do something, why not do it?

Why not get a spray tan before my sorority formal this weekend? (I think that you should try MOST things at least once in life...hence my first spray tan this week!)

Why not go get ice cream tonight? Brics is always yummy. And I love being able to hang out with people that I value. Thanks for a great night, Courtney, Audrey, Libby, and Courtney!

And why not? Why not go paint our nails, outside, in the dark, on the curb by the street?

Thanks Avery, for saying why not with me and having some real talk. Love it. 

butler fun...

Sometimes I'm just amazed at the things that Butler does. It makes me happy to see all these totally awesome activities/people/events/etc around campus.

My most recent favorite...a dance we filmed to get Jimmy Fallon to come to campus when he's here taping his late night show during the Super Bowl.

Chchchcheck it out...

studying about brains

Had my first test for my biological psychology class this week. Actually the Biological Bases of Psychology, PS 253-01 to be exact.

And it is one of the classes that I love. I really enjoy learning about the brain and all of its structures and functions and how it works.

So, I was super excited to start studying for it. I went to the library, took out my whiteboard marker and produced these beauties...

Just my pictures of the brain. I'm super proud of them. It's cool...I'm a nerd & loving it. 

sitting in the sand

What a better way to spend one of the most beautiful days in a long time, a gorgeous fall day, then with two kids at the park. Loved playing imaginary games, going on the swings, and crushing all of the "sand rocks."

Makes me excited for motherhood one day....and now I'm just thinking like one of my best friends, Ellen.

memories.

We had the best Alpha Phi event ever on Friday night. Got into cars in the afternoon and drove 40 miles to our president's house...she lives on a farm. COOL!

So, we filled our Friday night with horses (I rode Ebony!) and miniature baby goats...which are probably the cutest things I've ever seen in my entire life. Can we take one home to keep in the backyard????

 We created...wooden picture frames and some really awesome friendship bracelets. I taught these three everything they know about tying strings together. :)

Finally followed by an exciting hay ride around the property, some yummy s'mores and hot dogs, and last, a bonfire with some scary stories to boot! 

So great. Couldn't have asked for a better Friday night with these girls. 

the times...they are a-changing...

It's FALL.

YAY..and EW.

I decided that I like fall. Nothing more. I really just like seasons in general. But, if I'm being realistic, I just love the other seasons so much more.

I love summer...when I can call a swim in the lake a "shower." And when I can run around in my swimsuit all day. And when camp is. Because camp is summer on crack..the best part.

I love spring...when flowers start blooming. And I'm sick of being claustrophobic by all of the clothes. And the atmosphere is one of change. And it's March Madness. Go Dawgs.

I love winter...when I get to go back to Colorado and ski. And sled (and hurt myself!). And drink hot cocoa and have cool winter parties with my friends where we dress up and be super fancy.

So I guess I like fall. Not more than any of the other seasons. But I still like it. Because it looks like this....

Pretty. And it's only going to get prettier.

And I can go on walks with Meredith. Which always makes me happy. So thank you Fall for that.
