Sweet Like a Song: Life as of Lately!

The semester is finally over, and I have two graduate classes under my belt. With only 12 classes in my program, that means I’m 1/6 done with graduate school. Though it may be a stretch, I'm that much closer to finishing my master’s degree, and being done with school forever! Commencement has also come and gone (as of yesterday at 6PM,) so things are finally slowing down, just in time for Christmas!

Let me fill you in on some super fun things that have happened these past few months!

In September, I went to Charleston to celebrate my 23^rd birthday with four girlfriends, and it was fabulous! Read part one and part two of my trip here!

In October, I celebrated my second Homecoming at Appalachian with some great friends, and got my GGG-Littes! Yes, that makes me really old!

For Halloween this year, I used the amazing red dress that I found at JCPenney to be a sassy devil for my friend Marcia's Halloween Party! My eye makeup looked bold and fierce, thanks to my friend Frances at work!

For our office Halloween festivities, a group of us dressed up as the “Spice” Girls! I was a yellow mustard seed! We even choreographed a dance to "Spice up Your Life," and did it in front of the entire office! We won the contest for best group costume too!

I was even able to attend a few football games this season. My favorite was the Black Saturday game against Georgia Southern with my Dad! He loves football, and thanks to a little help from a grad school friend, we were able to get really good seats and passes into the field house for the day! We tailgated, watched the game and had so much fun!

In November, I attended Pig Dinner with Andrew and got to wear the cutest little black dress! I bought it a while back, but was saving it for the perfect occasion. The fraternity alumni function was it!

A few weeks later, I jetted off to New York City for four days with my friends Danielle and Alex. Talk about the trip of a lifetime! We packed so many fun things into the short time that we were there, and I am already planning my next trip back!

During the Thanksgiving holiday, I got together with family, ate way too much and shopped my little heart out. I even scored some fab Black (Thursday) Friday deals!

It was also during Thanksgiving break that my family celebrated both my Mom and Dad’s birthdays with good food, presents, Dewey’s cake squares and Gigi’s Cupcakes!

This month, though busy with final exams and such, I made time to decorate the apartment for the holidays. A silver glitter monogram was the perfect touch to my white tree with pink and purple ornaments!
