Happy Monday, everyone!
I’m typing up this post a little late since I’ve spent today at the gym, studying at the library, getting some freelance work done, and watching the new season of Game of Thrones with Kyle. It’s been a busy day!
Anyways, this Saturday was Deltopia at my college. It’s basically a HUGE day of partying and it got insanely crazy and out of control. We have thousands of out-of-towners come, and it really wrecked havoc on our town. I’m talking full-on riots in the street and I’m so glad Kyle and I didn’t go out during the night since things got so wild. I had a fun time during the day, though! Here’s a quick picture recap!
Marvelous is a day out with my favorite girls!
Marvelous is freelance work!
I think it’s SO COOL to be be paid to create recipes and blog. Is that even called working?! I’m going to be typing up a post soon on what I do for the people I work for/how I got hired/etc. If you have any ideas/questions for me to address, please let me know :).
Marvelous (sorta) is getting a ton of work done at the library!
Sunday was a work day for me and Kyle, and after grabbing a large triple shot latte, we bunkered down at the library for almost 5 hours. I got a lot of organic chemistry and biology work done and it felt great to be productive! We also had some necessary brain-food to help power us through. Nachos as big as my face? Yes please!
When we got back, I finished up a bit of extra reading for my biology class by the pool and a drink. I guess I’m still a kid at heart, because I’m completely in love with Shirley Temples. I remember ordering them all the time when I was younger and they’re just as good homemade!
Marvelous is new recipes!
I’m a huge fan of shrimp and, of course, avocados so I loved this recipe for Honey Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad. With the weather warming up, I can’t wait to make it again for a cold and healthy lunch!
That’s all for today! I have a early morning/long day tomorrow, so it’s time for this girl to get some much-needed rest.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
5 hours in the library? Oh girl, you & kyle both deserved those nachos & heck, I would’ve had seconds… not only because they look delicious but nachos makes anyday a good day
Looking forward to hearing all about your freelance work/how you got the position.
Have a great beginning of the week, xoxo
Working on a Sunday? That’s a students life. People are always jealous when I can take a day off during the week, but they don’t see that I have tons of work to do most Saturdays and Sundays – and don’t let me even start on exam periods! Feels good to get some work done before the week starts, though, doesn’t it 😉 ?
Ahhh looking forward to the freelance post
Also–the festival sounds fun! I went to a small school so we didn’t have those but I know most larger schools do and they always seem so fun and crazy hhaa I probably wouldn’t stay out for the whole day either (mostly because I’d get sleepy) 😉
Having a good supply of coffee and food is basically the secret to productivity for me… although I’m not sure I’d be able to handle a 5 hour stretch — dang, girl! It does feel super good to be able to get a lot done though 😀 And I’m super excited for you and all the success you’re having with your freelance work! You definitely deserve it <3
Can’t wait for festival season here! Literally counting down the days.
Looking forward to hearing more about your freelance work
That picture of those little balls on the table is so beautiful – seriously your food photography continues to amaze me!
I am so excited to hear more about your freelance writing because I feel like that is something I would love to do and I don’t even know where to start!
Could you and your friends be any cuter? NO I don’t think so! Love all the outfits and all the smiling faces! So pretty!! And yay for your productive and simultaneously fun weekend! Those are the best kind!
I’m jealous of that weather girl… It’s storming here in ATL – we’re talking it has been raining for like 8 straight hours already. UGH.
My only question is: how are you so cute and awesome? 😉
Deltopia kind of sounds like Beer Bike–just crazy shenaningans and SO. MANY. PEOPLE. on campus. I always feel a little lost because I have no idea who anyone is because so many people’s friends come down for it.
cant wait to read about the freelance/ etc. Its something I am intrested in! you look amazing by the way and i am so jealous you get to sit by the pool and drink shirley temples 😉
Whyyyyy don’t I live somewhere that I can always wear tank tops and shorts? You are living the life girl!
Love love love your outfit for the party this weekend!! Red lips are the best! I would love to read a post by you on how you’ve gotten your freelance work. Next semester I’ll be student teaching which is basically a full time job and need a way to make some $$$!
Looks like you had an awesome weekend at Deltopia!! I used to drive down from LA when I was in college and party the weekend away… sounds like you made the right decision to enjoy the daytime festivities and stay in for the night 😉 and those nachos look absolutely divine… yum! And yay for freelance work
productive weekend, woo!
Love the lipstick shade you’re wearing!
I should have went to reek havoc. 😉
That sounds like a lot of fun though!
Girl, you’re so lucky to be getting paid for doing something you enjoy. Props to you!
Nachos are the perfect brain food.
You guys are too cute!! Loving the weekend recap and pictures oh my. Those cookie balls look divine!!
So excited to hear more about the freelance work! Looks like you had a great time on Deptopia – LOVE those high waisted shorts!! Where are they from?!
Work hard, play hard! That festival sounds awesome! 5 hours of work does not! I couldn’t stay focused that long to save my life! I feel like I need to take a 2 hour break for every 20 minutes of studying… 😛
Nachos-<3! Tank top and shorts- <3 <3!
I just found out I am moving to Santa Barbara after graduation!!!!! I can’t wait to be living in California 😀
That festival sounds so fun!! I’m so glad you were able to take some time off studying.
Also, you would be surprised at how many people in the world order FOUR shot lattes. Just saying. 😉
