new in: boxing day sale

Hi everyone! Hope every had a great Christmas! My Christmas was absolutely amazing and couldn't have asked for a better relaxing weekend. I wanted to go shopping after Christmas because of all the after-Christmas sales (or Boxing Day sales as some of you call it) were going on. My mom and I made an impulse decision to go to our mall after dinner to do some looking around. I wasn't sure if I was going to find anything but Zara did me well! There's a new Zara that just opened in a mall that's about 40 minutes from my house and it's definitely bigger and has more variety of selections than the Zara that's about half the time closer.

where have you been

By now, you guys probably forgot who I was since my last post was in September...3 months ago. I'm so super sorry for my lack of posts! I'm currently in my last week of my fall quarter at college and by next week I'll be back home for the holidays and winter break! I thought that I could keep updating whilst in college but I've realized that this is actually harder than it seems, haha. I've been getting used to this school and keeping up with my studies. It's odd to now be in college and have to do "grown up" things when just a few months ago, I was still a high school senior. Time sure does fly, doesn't it?

It's finally December guys! Like, you guys have no idea how excited I am. Being in Southern California, far way from home (Chicago), I definitely miss the freezing cold and the snow! But I am so stoked to go back home and soak it all in. It's odd to be able not be freezing without a scarf and boots. I don't think I've had a red nose for a while, haha. Christmas is only a short amount of days away and I think that is absolutely crazy. I swear it was just yesterday when I was still counting the days until I go home. But now....it's only a week away! I think you guys can tell that I'm super excited that it's December and almost Christmas. Christmas is definitely an amazing time of year. 

I can't wait to get back in my own bed and be surrounded by my friends from high school and family. It's weird that I haven't seen my friends in three months when I've seen then everyday for the past 4 years. I definitely feel like I've grown up even thought I've only experienced college for 3 months. I think being by myself and being so far away has helped me become a stronger person and handle myself better. I was thinking about doing Blogmas, but I feel like I'm a little late. But I will definitely be going back to regular posts by next week, so stay tuned guys!

I hope everyone is having a great time at college or Uni and enjoying the awesome Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza spirit. Winter is definitely that family/cozy time of year and I hope everyone feels the same way too! I will be back with more exciting posts :)

a belated christmas post & update

 you can see me in the ornament ;)

I think this is my first post, other than the little update before, since September ..I think? I am so sorry that I was MIA for a while. I didn't think senior year would be this hectic but sadly it is...But! I just finished all of my college applications, which means that there will be more frequent posts from now on! I recently got a new camera as well (I hope you guys can tell ;) and I can definitely see myself taking more pictures and posting them on my blog. 

My family just took down the Christmas tree yesterday and I didn't want to take it down without the stereotypical Christmas pictures haha. I wanted to experiment with my new camera as well so I thought..why not? The natural light definitely enhances all of the features of the tree and the colors are just brilliant..in my opinion haha. 

I can't believe today is the last day before 2013! That is surreal.. I can't believe I will be graduating in about 5 months and that my 18th birthday is happening this new year! This year was definitely event-packed and it went so fast.. I didn't really get presents this Christmas, other than my new camera, just a bunch of vouchers and money becuase my mom said that's easier for her and I have more control haha. I think I'll post what I got soon, but it's really not much. I hope you guys are having a wonderful break and Happy New Year!
