5 Things to Consider When Choosing a College

I absolutely love fall it’s my favorite season.

I absolutely love fall it’s my favorite season. And it never lasts long enough, it feels so fleeting. The trees go from green to beautiful to dead so quickly.

But this year feels different. I have had a rough semester nothing seems to be going how I wanted or planned (that’s just kinda par for the course in 2020 though isn’t it?)

But I feel like to counteract that a bit fall has seemed to last for a little bit longer this year. It hasn’t been super rainy and cold until really this week, at least where I am. The trees down in Evansville change way slower than they seem to at home which is both frustrating and appreciated depending on my POV.

But overall I feel like despite wanting to hide from the world lately... I have been able to slow down and just appreciate the world and her last great show before winter. I think we’re all just taking what we can get this year... and if this is what I get... well I think I can live with that.

Sometimes you just gotta drive an hour and a 1/2 both ways to walk in a muddy cave and then sit in a crevice with your friends and listen to the water go by.

No but for real this state park in Illinois was actually really pretty and peaceful and for a second I was confused because since when is the Midwest this nice to look at? It was super peaceful and the weather was cool and nice and it was just a great time. Also these pictures don’t really give the cave justice it was huge!
⛅️⛰👟
Anybody else gone on any spontaneous adventures lately? If not I would recommend its very nice to get a change of scenery.

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”

*edits my pictures to be warmer and have more contrast so I can pretend it feels like fall*

I’m gonna be honest I’ve had trouble getting b

I’m gonna be honest I’ve had trouble getting back into the swing of things this semester. One of my classes has been rough, one super boring, and all of them seem like way more work than anything did last year. Idk if it’s just that I had a super long break without a lot of stuff to do or what but I’m just not in the groove. And it’s been disappointing because I was so excited for my schedule this semester and being in an apartment and all this stuff and it’s just not lived up to expectations much at all.
☁️🌺🌞
So what did I do to try to get out of my funk with school? I went home! That might seem counterintuitive (and it might be I haven’t gone back yet😂...) but it has felt so good! Home is only two hours north of my school but the weather here seems cooler and nicer and made me realize that fall really is coming which is super exciting! And even tho I was ready to get away from them after 6 months with them, I was happy to hug my sisters and mom.
Plus jeep rides with the doors off, Mexican food, and board games with best friends never hurt anyone’s mood either😉
☁️🌺🌞
I’ve also been able to catch back up on assignments during this long weekend which was definitely needed. My procrastination and apathy has been through the roof with my classes but I think it’s all starting to turn around! How’s everyone else’s semesters been going so far?

So apparently it’s National Beach Day but because I’m dumb I haven’t edited any beach pictures I liked from Key West... so this picture of a sailboat on the ocean will have to do!
🌊⛵️☁️
How’s everyone else’s Sunday afternoon going? I’m trying to figure out the best way to organize my week now that I have all my syllabi for my classes... Having some hybrid, some fully online, and some fully in-person classes all at the same time is gonna be a challenge!

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
-Helen Keller
💚🎒📚
It’s the first day of Sophomore year and I am feeling conflicted... On one hand I’m super excited to be back on campus with my friends and to be away from home after like 5 months! On the other hand things are different! And different can be scary. It’s not even all COVID related... this year was going to be different no matter what. I’m in an apartment this year which is both good and bad. I get a kitchen which is great but a worse bathroom which isn’t... and I have to ride the bus to the main area of campus and I am just too awkward for that 😂
💚🎒📚
Still, despite having to ride the bus, despite being broken out, and despite the fact that I have to go to work tonight 😒 I’m trying my hardest to keep up my excitement and have a smile on my (masked of course) face.
💚🎒📚
If you started school today or recently how’s it going? Are you completely online or a mix of in-person and online like me?
💚🎒📚

“When I think something nice is going to happen

“When I think something nice is going to happen I seem to fly right up on the wings of anticipation; and then the first thing I realize I drop down to earth with a thud... The flying part is glorious as long as it lasts...it's like soaring through a sunset. I think it almost pays for the thud.”
-L.M. Montgomery
✨🌅🧡
In four days I’ll be moved back into school and I’m so freaking excited!!! I can’t wait to see my friends, and have my own space again, and (no offense to my sisters😉) but get far away from my family for a while 😂
✨🌅🧡
The quote really does speak to me btw! I get super excited about things before hand. Planning and prepping for them and dreaming about them... And then the thing happens and I thud back down to reality. But the anticipation was golden while it lasted.
✨🌅🧡
When do you or have you already moved back into or started school?
✨🌅🧡

"There's more things we don't know than we do... That's just the nature of the universe."
🌴🙃💙
So while I will continue to post pictures from Key West for the foreseeable future because they’re very fun. I am back home and I was ready today to get back into working on stuff for the blog and getting ready to move back into school next week! And then I opened my laptop today for the first time since the first evening in Florida and the screen is shattered🙃👍🏻 So that’s put a damper on my mood and a block on my plans. I ordered a new screen but it won’t be here until Tuesday😒
🌴🙃💙
I guess until the screen arrives I’ll just have to try to pretend I’m back in this hammock under the palm trees...
🌴🙃💙

“It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.”
-Henry David Thoreau
✌🏼🌴🌞
I hadn’t seen a palm tree in over two years up until yesterday. I might’ve teared up. I know I’m a dweeb but I love the ocean so so much and the palm trees were just a reminder of it. I haven’t even been to the beach yet but we’re going this afternoon and I actually might cry. But just seeing the sailboats on the water was enough to make me crack a huge smile last night.
✌🏼🌴🌞
I hope everyone else is having fun soaking up these last days before school starts back up. I know I am. 😊
✌🏼🌴🌞
