I just saw that quote somewhere and fell in love with it :)
I survived. I am in college. I actually have adjusted to the dorm lifestyle a lot easier and better than I thought an only child like myself would. Now I am just in the process of meeting people and trying to find my niche in a group of friends again. While it can be exciting and fun, it can also be frustrating because I have no patience - building friendships takes time. But just like freshman year in high school all these worries and awkwardness will come to and end at some point (hopefully lol).
Anyways the homework and spending time in the library has already started, so this weeks playlist is devoted to libraries and all things book/story related , with described items to go with each :)

awww girl. the friendships do take time. i remember the first awkward argument i got into with a girl who turned out to be one of my best friends. i am glad you're adjusted to dorm life. remember i'm hear if you have any questions!
I love this post!
Best wishes to you as you start your Freshman year.
I almost bought a wayfarer like this one when I was in Brazil. Best luck!!!
Cute post! I can't wait to hear about all you find in Charleston. My blog is on hold for a few days, but I should be back soon! Trust me, you'll make friends soon enough: My friends from college are some of my dearest.
glad it went well! yea meeting people at college is really frusturating, i remember at orientation, i had the same conversation 800 times (hi, I'm jayne, I'm from MN" and people were always like "wow, you've got that down!" and its like, well, duh, you were going to ask me where i'm from in 30 seconds anyway), but i'm just trying to remember that we're all in the same boat
cute playlist, love the fred flare glasses
oh and as for your twilight comment, i really enjoyed BD because it actually had some plot and really twisted and turned, but yea it was slightly perfect at the end, my major problem with it mostly wad the name renesmee haha
That elephant bookend is darling! Glad to hear you're doing well in college! The first year is such a nice mix of excitement and nerves.

Ah, school...
Friendships are always so hard to develop, but once you get them right, they're just so amazing... until one person stabs you in the back. Then everything sucks, but hopefully that won't happen.
Have fun studying!
Fun post! :)
Wish you the best luck on your studies.
Rock on!

Thanks for your comment darling! Take care :)
The freshman year can be really difficult as every new beginning. I suffered quite a bit during my first two months at college. Then, suddenly you realize you are having the time of your life.
don't worry it will be over before you know it, it was for me.
love the book cakes for kids<3
xoxo
