life update.

So, College has engulfed me. what did you expect?

I do homework.

a lot.

i miss carolyn.

a lot.

the church bells ring.

a lot.

last day with best friend.

of course we needed a photo shoot!

until late september...

I'm alive!

so just in case you were nervous about that, 

i survived my first 2 days of classes!

First day: i had all 5 classes, got all 5 syllabi, which means i saw a flash view of the entire semester.

let me tell you, it was overwhelming & very stressful. 

most of my classes are 10 times bigger than the ones i had in high school

so it seemed like i'd never meet anyone/feel totally alone.

but never fear, my second day was much better!

I had my first engineering discussion session, where i met some other aspiring

engineers/did not feel totally alone.

here's a few things that have happened since my frantic list of 17:

1. I set up my printer! see?

2. I made a friend all by myself! (you know you are not the typical social butterfly when you start conversations with "oh i can help you set up your school email on your smartphone! Here's the domain...server...etc.")

3. MY BFF CAME TO VISIT ME! here she is.

4. Carolyn appropriately decorated my desk/laptop:

5. I watched the sun rise!

6. JESSE VISITED ME!!! as you can see i was a little pumped. and he stayed with me all day :) :) :)

7. i went to the lakefront with him!!

8. I took a college selfie in the dorm! (actually i took a few. shhh)

9. I successfully locked myself out of my dorm & my lovely roommate came & saved me. She rocks. That was bound to happen, I'm glad it's out of the way & I can get on with my life.

10. I bought engineering paper! yes, there is such a thing.

11. I wrote a paper for my english class basically saying how much i hate english. I know what you're thinking. already jules? yes, i just did that.

So i'm surviving here, successfully staying up later than my roommates & being annoying with the lights on. ah well, tis the college life.

drive-in movie love

stranger: "did you guys call for help??"

"...no...!!"

*uncontrolled laughter*

Cinderella story movie marathon

HAHA LIE that's me like 3 days later. right after i looked more like this:

sooo my good friend came over & watched 3 chick flicks in a row with me!!

so glad we put that on the list.

Christmas in July, anyone?

complete with presents to each other! 

 & of course, we sent christmas cards to about 20 of our closest friends!

we made the picture as awkward as possible, obviously.

Merry Christmas to all!!

xoxo

spend an entire paycheck... ✓

this one wasn't terribly hard to do!

we simply spend the day in Milwaukee.

Our first stop was Benelux, this cute little restaurant where we sat on the roof.

we bought some adorable little cupcakes...

& since we were living large, we went to anthropologie and urban outfitters. 

: )
