Helllllooo all you party people! I hope the weekend it treating you right and you’re getting in a lot of relaxing and downtime. I wish I could be saying the same, but this last week (and this weekend especially) have been pretty hectic for me as I have a crazy week ahead of me school-wise. The schedule for now is an Ochem midterm Monday, lab quiz Tuesday, microbiology midterm Wednesday, and a stats quiz Friday. Yikes- I know. Feel free to send me positive thoughts, I’m here with my arms open wide for them!
Anyways, let’s look into some marvelous weekend things!
One nice thing about this weekend is that I’m back in my hometown. Kyle wanted to come back to celebrate Easter and his brother and dad’s birthdays, so we made the two hour car ride back home. It ended up working out nicely since I’ve been productive with my studying and was able to make it to my cousin William’s 21st birthday dinner. Kyle ended up coming with us since he’s a friend of Will’s and we had plans to go out to an old-school ice cream parlor for his dad and brother, but I ended up staying at home since it wouldn’t have been responsible for me to spend more time away from my textbooks. Womp womp womp. Dinner was tasty, though, and served family-style so I got to eat a whole lot of everything! Some of my favorites included chicken fettucine alfredo, a seafood pasta, and calamari ( [emoji heavy black heart] ).
My parents were there as well and I got a picture of the two most important guys in my life! As well as their matching shoes because, according to my dad, “They’re cool, young people shoes!”. Hmm… okay dad [emoji smiling face with sunglasses].
Other than that, I’ve been taking advantage of our latte machine to help fuel my studies. Let’s just pretend that having 6 shots of espresso in one day is good for you. Ignorance is bliss. Or coffee. I guess coffee and bliss are just synonyms so whatevaaa.
Oh! And exciting news! I’m hosting a giveaway from Kind this upcoming week for a big ol’ package of Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt (my favorite, omnomnom <3) Kind bars and two boxes of their newest product, Healthy Grain Bars. Stay tuned for the opportunity to win lots of free stuff! WAHOO!
I hope all of you are enjoying your Easter Sunday! Sending everyone lots of love [emoji heavy black heart] .

Good luck on your tests! My finals start this coming Wednesday so I know what you are going through ! It’s almost over though! We can make it
Happpy Easter my dearest!! Sounds like you’ve been having a nice weekend despite the studies – whewwwee that midterm schedule does not make me miss college! But always so much nicer to be able to study at home. And I didn’t realize you and Kyle were from the same home town!! Even cuter. Will be sending you tons of posi vibes as you finish up those studies… the coffee (and chocolate) will def help 😉 xo
Your weekend sounds pretty great! I’m glad you got some time away from your studies and got to enjoy time at home.
The shirt that Kyle is wearing with pocket…is that a Serengetee?? (I have one too! My friend was a part of the start-up)
And, girl. You must have such a high tolerance to caffeine! 6 shots?? I am impressed.
Happy Easter, Christine! Hope you enjoyed your day with family
<3 superduper excited for that giveaway!!!
<3 looks like a fantastic weekend! Sending you good luck vibes! This is my LAST week of MSU and I leave for home on Saturday morning… I swear time couldn't go any slower! Ha 😉
I don’t envy finals coming up, but it’s nice to know you’re so close to summer!!
I’m looking forward to checking back for the give-away. Kind bars are SO good!!
xo Jackie
Something About That
Sounds like you had a great weekend! Good luck on all of your tests this week–definitely sending good vibes your way!
Ahh Kind Bars! Love those
Yes! I love kind bars! And I love your pictures! You and Kyle are so adorable.
I’m glad you were able to come home for the holiday! And good luck with Ochem! It never ends, does it? I get a break from it this quarter-this is my first quarter at college not taking Chem-and it’s because it’s not offered this quarto,r not because I’m done. Whomp whomp. And I love the new grainy KIND bars! I had been so sad because literally every kind of KIND bar before had nuts!
Sending you positive vibes and a massive hi 5 to kill those midterms…you amaze me.
6 shots of espresso is totally normal. Remind me one day to tell you my starbucks in the UK story.
Looks like a positively lovely weekend
6 shots of espresso in one day is tooootally fine! This coming from the woman with a coffee pot in her office.
Looks like a great weekend and a nice break in-between your studies. Hang in there, girl, the end is in sight!
Oh wow that’s a lot of studying! Anyone who studies that much deserves 6 shots of espresso and a big piece of pie! 😉
Glad you got to get back home and enjoy yourself some! Happy (late) Easter! xoxo
Beautiful weekend Christine. Too sad that studying is always such a party pooper 😉 I feel exactly the same, since my last week here in Rennes is also my final exam week. So hard to focus when everyone just feels like using the last days to mingle!
Such a great picture of you guys!! LOVE me some KIND bars!
Aw, haha, your dad is right! Wearing the same shoes as kyle is totally what the cool young hip kids do!
espressos save my life about once a week – yes to that! YAY for the giveaway, can’t wait!
Awww looks like a lovely weekend! Lots of success studying! xxx
