This morning was pretty rough. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. I was feeling super nauseous. I had classes, and I had a project that was due that I needed to print out before class started. But of course, the printer wasn't working properly, and decided to just print out blank sheets of paper. Then my computer wasn't sending the right documents to the printer, and then the printer wasn't printing my document correctly, which made this whole process one big mess. To top it off, I lost my phone (which I ended up finding, thank goodness). Talk about a stressful morning. This week has also been one of the craziest, most hectic weeks since I've been in college. Yet somehow, I was able to squeeze in some time to hang out with my friends that keep me from going insane in times like these. Even when you're crammed with homework and projects and papers that are due, and you feel as though you don't have time to do anything else but study study study, I feel as though it's healthy to take a break from what you're doing, and to go hang out with your friends. Being cooped up in your room or library all day is not fun at all, and simply brings more stress because you are not giving your mind a break from all of the thinking and researching you have to do from your homework.
Something that I find quite enjoyable and relaxing is photography and photo editing. And going on adventures to new places. Mixing those two combinations together equals a fun filled day, giving me the chance to get my mind off of life's responsibilities, just for a little while.

This is my friend Bre. She's a super talented photographer, and super gorgeous, am I right?! I love spending time with her and I love how much we have in common. Another thing we both love is adventuring, whether it be around town or exploring a new city.
By the way, this girl just started her own blog, so check it out! http://breshaub.weebly.com

Just some examples of the amazing work by the one and only Bre Shaub.

This is Brooke. She is one of the sweetest and cutest human beings on this planet. Speaking about planets, this girl knows a whole lot about the solar system, because she has one of the coolest jobs ever. Brooke works at our university's observatory. We both share a love for outer space, and this is one of the reasons why I love her. Also, she took me to a place yesterday that makes coffee milkshakes, so I guess I gotta love her for that too.

This is Maddie. Even though we met pretty recently, I love spending time with this gem. I met Maddie through Brooke, since they both live together. Maddie is a person that is genuinely fun to be around. She is also a super talented writer, and has a book that is out and published, called Eighteen Years. (If you're a poetry lover like I am, then definitely check it out).

I'm so blessed to have such amazing people in my life. Developing friendships like these is so important to me, and I hope these are some of the friendships that will last a lifetime.

It is only about a month into my second semester here at college and I feel as though I've already done a lot of traveling and gone on numerous adventures. About two weeks ago I was able to go to some pretty cool locations with some friends and take pictures. The focus of our shoot was details, and how important they are to an outfit.

I got this lace up dress from Macy's for Christmas (similar style, and in maroon). Lace up dresses have been quite popular this season. The thing I really like about my dress, however, is the lace detailing that runs throughout the whole dress.

The detailed knee highs complete my look by adding a finishing touch to the dress.

So. Many. Details. From bracelets to backpacks, Wes's look has about every kind of detail possible. The bright orange Herschel backpack gives a nice pop of color to the look. Plus, the colors in his outfit all flow well, which makes him look very well put together.

Not only can clothing be detailed, but hair as well. Lauren's beautiful up-do is very detailed, with braids and curls surrounding her whole head.

How much more detailed can you get than patches? Hope's military jacket, which I am obsessing over, is the perfect example of details. Randomly placed, the patches give pops of bright color throughout the whole jacket.

Below are just some more cool pictures of my friends from our little adventure.

Be sure to check out my super awesome and talented friends on Instagram!!!
