Happy first day of Autumn, all you delightful people. It is time for seasonal pumpkin coffee, crisp air, crunchy leaves, jeans and sweater, boots and scarves, apple picking, pumpkin carving, football games, harvest time, hay rides and bonfires. Those are just a few reasons why autumn happens to be my favorite season. To be honest, I could go on and on and on about why I adore this season, but I don't want to bore you. I have a habit of going too deep into thought and spewing out words, but ...
Radio 104.5 Block Party
This past Saturday, some friends and I had free tickets to the Radio 104.5 final summer block party of the season. It took place at Festival Pier at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, right next to the Ben Franklin Bridge. There were five bands that played in all, but we were really only excited for Sir Sly, Vance Joy, and Grouplove. When I woke up that day and looked out the window - it was pouring rain. I was super sad because what I had originally wanted to wear and do with my hair, I ...
Today Is Not Forever
Yesterday was one of those mentally stretching, emotionally overwhelming and physically exhausting days. You ever have some of those?

Today, I wanted to share some words that can sound cliche because they're spoken so often, but the realness to them is refreshing and uplifting to ...
Coffee With Natalie
Meet Natalie - Natalie blogs over at A Tiny Traveler and she has also guest posted a word of encouragement here - find that post here. This morning I had the opportunity to take Natalie out to coffee, which was the perfect way to start my Saturday. We have both been so busy over the summer so we didn't get to see each other that much, but now that we're settled into our fall semester schedules, we'll get to spend more time together. I just love this lady! Since pumpkin spice is ...
IKEA Date
Michael and I went on a date to IKEA yesterday. It was my first time ever going and oh my word, I was in heaven! I have been wanting to go for quite some time now, so I was very pleased that we were finally able to go together. I loved being able to walk hand in hand with my favorite person and point out all of the things we adored. We also had lunch in the little cafe area, which was perfect for people watching. Our food was absolutely delicious. The next time you go, you ...
My Final Year – For Now.
All over social media there are people exclaiming in excitement, "I'm a senior"! For some people, college isn't summed up into 4 years and there can be many reasons as to why. Well, I am one of those people. When I had graduated high school in June of 2011, I already knew where I was going to college and had a very good idea of what I was going to study. I knew what I was passionate about and had a few expectations of what I would like to get out of my college experience. I was also very ...
