My Life in Charleston

I've been living in Charleston for the past four months now and can honestly say my life has been changed for the better! Going to school here in the Holy City is so unique and unlike any of my other friend's college experiences due to the plethora of history and the wonderfulness that is Charleston. Since being here at C of C I've joined a Sorority and the Varsity Equestrian Team! Doing both has proved to be difficult, and I won't lie and say it didn't affect my grades... but I've made a promise to myself to put academics first next semester rather than social life. Being in a sorority has proved to be one of the best decisions I have ever made and the girls I now get to call my sisters I know will be there for me through thick and thin forever & always. Delta Gamma is my home now and I have high hopes for myself as a person because of it's ability to make me want to be my best possible self. Next year, I'm living with 3 of my best friends and I could not be more excited. until next time, Emily

SORRY

UH OH I know this happens to me a lot... but I keep forgetting about this poor blog! As said before, I have a tumblr which is my pride and joy and where I update the most... but this blog is something I really want to keep updated! I am moving to Charleston in THREE WEEKS for college! Eep! I finally get to become that "southern belle" I've been wanting to all these years! Currently, I am looking to study Communications and maybe Sociology... but in all honesty I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I think that I'm going to continue using this blogs as a more personal platform where I can post about fashion, interesting DIY I find, updates on my personal life, and other such things. xoxo! Emily

Eep.

I keep forgetting about this blog! I have a tumblr, so that usually is the easier option when it comes to quick blogging. I really really REALLY want to get into this blog more though! I think that I'll have more use for it next year when I'll be a Northern Girl in a Southern World.

Oh right, did I forget to mention?

I got into COLLEGE!!!!

I was accepted into Auburn University, University of Kentucky, and Baylor

I'm still waiting on SMU (top choice! fingers crossed!) and College of Charleston. I hope I get good news from both!

till next time...

College Time!

Being a Senior has its many perks.
There are senior privileges, senior desks, and other such things that make this year super fun.

However, we also have to deal with things like College Applications, SAT's and other heavy school work (at least in the fall!)


This girl however has been preparing for college probably since eighth grade and researching schools! I was SUPER prepared when it came to college searching and applying! Have to admit though, having riding as a passion limited some of my school choices, but also introduced me to schools I probably would have never applied to before!

I have to admit, I am a northern girl... but I want to go SOUTH!

here are my top three choices! (not in any particular order)



Auburn University! Home of the Tigers! I love this university for its big campus opportunities with a small campus feel! I also would LOVE to have a football school seeing as my school doesn't have a football team and I've been severely lacking in the spirit department (besides being head cheerleader....)


Next School...




College of Charleston! I love Charleston. The minute I arrived I felt that I belonged there. Their riding team is good and the people are super nice!


and last but certainly not least...




Southern Methodist University! Recently visited this school in Dallas and was blown away by how beautiful it is and how lovely all of the people are! Hope I get in, fingers crossed!


Till next time.... xoxo Emily!

Blog Revamp!

Recently revamped my blog! all thanks go to shabbyblogs.com :)

Oh goodness...

I haven't been on here in ages! I took the summer off due to college apps and riding but now that I'm back in the swing of things I would love to get back into this blog! I feel that now I'm a senior and starting to think more seriously about my life and my future, a blog would be a good thing to have in order to reference back to past things! I'm so excited to start a new chapter in my life and I hope to take you all along for the journey with me!

Hiatus

I will be going on a short Hiatus due to the extreme amount of work I have to do. I only have a month left of junior year and I really need to bring my grades up in order for my GPA to be somewhat decent. I wish I didn't have to give up all of my favorite websites, but I do. Because honestly, I don't get any work done when I'm on them.

Hope y'all understand

xx, Emily

Good Advice

They truly are. I don't know what I would do without my pearls, they just seem to complete my face and add a little special something.

The Girl Behind the Blog

(I'm the one in the red)

Lately

I've become obsessed with interior design and weddings. I sound like such a typical girl, but I truly love to look through both types of blogs! I can see myself one day either becoming a wedding planner or an interior designer and creating my own business with a couple of friends. It's just another dream of mine (I have many!) but I will continue posting pictures that I find to be inspiring . Well, I'm off to go write an extremely long paper about the rights of women and family planning *groan*. Well, wish me luck!
