The Broad

as I have begun to settle into the college lifestyle, I now have some down time to catch up on all of the content that I have been meaning to post! first off, I think I have been talking about the broad pretty much all summer and the fact that I was able to visit the week before I left california, makes it practically fate.

LA Adventure III

the countdown has gone from months to one week and I couldn't be more ready to embrace college life and start anew. after saying goodbye to some of my best friends as they embarked on their college adventure this past week, it's now starting to hit me that we are all starting new adventures in our lives and I cannot wait to see where all of my friends end up, I know they're going to do great :') 

lab + camp

hello to you all!

as the number of days I have left in california dwindles down to a mere fourteen, I have been trying to cross off as many things on my bucket list as I can before I head off to the east coast. my friends & family know that my extensive bucket list has always been a reference for activities or food places that I suggest when we go out and luckily my best friend Christine was up for a day in the OC to try and knock off as many things as we could (along with her fancy new camera hehe)

août // 2016

I am in disbelief that today is the first day of august...where did the time go!? It's crazy to think that this month I will be packing my bags and heading across the country for college!! I still don't know how to do my laundry and I suck at cleaning so this should be fun *upside down smile emoji*

NY Trip | Week 2

It has been a little over a week since I returned from my trip to New York and I am starting to have post trip depression SOMEONE TAKE ME BACK PLEASE!! Although it has been nice to not have to worry about humidity or dirty subways, I do miss the city and the girls that I met, especially Emmy, Carly, Katie, Camila, Madison, Samanda and Sidney (miss you guys so much!!) Overall, I learned so much and as someone that hopes to work for a magazine one day (specifically Seventeen hehe), I couldn't have asked for a greater opportunity like this one! Learning the ins and outs of the publications world has ensured me that I am choosing the right career path :') ANYWAYS here is the second installment of my New York trip themed posts! If you haven't checked out my one for Week One, then click here! If you have, then yay :) Once again, I am so grateful to my parents for letting me go on this trip as well as Westcoast Connection and Seventeen Magazine for putting the trip together! I hope you guys enjoy Week Two! Here we go...

NY Trip | Week 1

Hello everyone!

I am currently spending the most incredible two weeks in New York (if you didn't already know haha) I have learned a lot, laughed a lot, ate A LOT, and walked A LOT (37.61 miles so far!) and I am so excited to see how the next week will pan out. However, I do have to admit that it is not fun smelling like a subway and not being able to breathe without the fear of getting secondhand smoke (seriously! there are so many smokers in NYC!) This trip has been incredible so far and I am so grateful for the opportunity thanks to Westcoast Connection and Seventeen Magazine!

TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

Since I am leaving for New York today, I thought it would be fitting to talk about my travel essentials. Going back and forth between California and New York has taught me a couple things about what is necessary to bring.  However, this time I will be flying by myself for the first time so I am a little nervous, but I am really excited to spend the next two weeks in the Big Apple!
