This is my "I stayed up all night to write a paper" outfit

When it's seven in the morning and it's time to get ready for my eight o'clock class, I start to panic. Partly because I stayed up all night writing a paper and partly because I was reading nine chapters out of a book. With that, my outfit choices are simple and easy to put together. Colorado is starting to get colder and it rained almost everyday last week, a simple dress with a long sleeved cardigan or shirt is the perfect fit. Especially, when I am trying to stay awake in youth ministry class.

How to make chocolate chocolate chip cookies

At my first dinner party at CCU, I baked chocolate chocolate chip cookies for dessert. A few days after the party, a friend came to my door and asked for some more cookies. Sadly, I was out; but luckily the recipe was so easy it's a snap to make. I found the recipe from one of my favorite blog and when a made a second batch all girls and boys stairwell gladly accepted my new found treats. Baking makes another beautiful day in Colorado perfect.

For sale

Once the girls in my apartment building found out that I write a fashion blog I get invited to go shopping all the time. This is problematic for me since I am low on money and very willing to spend grocery money on a new dress. With that, I was shopping with my RA's the other day when they took me to TJ Maxx. Usually, I just shop at the mall but I never truly realized the deals at stores like this. When I discovered this sweater to be only ten dollars I had to get it. Weird enough, I paired my sale item with other pieces I've bought for super cheap. It's easy to be stylish and affordable college girl.

First day of school

I officially had my first two days of college this past week and I must say they were nothing less than amazing. College is enjoyable and much better than high school. However, even though my work load has increased my habit of picking my first day of school hasn't. Colorado whether is perfect for flowy skirts and big shirts at the moment and makes for a great pick for walking around campus. More importantly, I think I'm seriously in love with Christian college.

A few of my favorite things

Fresh squeezed lemonade

Cute homemade aprons

Experiencing what I like to call magic pants. These pants were all on sale and different sizes. But they all fix me perfectly!

Finding time to repaint most of my nails.

Getting awesome phone calls from close friends. Caleb for sure made my day yesterday. I am so proud of the man of God he has become.

Skype dates with my two best friends. They remind me of one of my favorite quotes..

"Life doesn't always turn out like your fantasy that's why you need real friendships to get you through it all"

At the moment, I'm on the road and making my way to Colorado. It's insane to think I'll be there in a couple hours. Looking at the overstuffed SUV, it seems impossible to unload. However, I've already had some new CCU friends offer to help me. No worries, I'm a college girl now.
