YOU GUYS! I did it!!!
I finished my last final at 11 a.m yesterday morning and am officially free from the worst academic year for biology majors. No more having to take stats, bio, physics, organic chemistry, and labs at the same time ever again!!! AHHH. I’m ecstatic!!
After I got back to my apartment, I immediately ran around my apartment screaming and then jumped into my housemate’s bed with her and her boyfriend. Typing that out it sounds really weird, but I promise it was completely PG and I just lay there rolling around and yelling how happy I was while they laughed at me. Can you tell I was excited?
Then, I cleaned up my room and lay in bed watching Say Yes to the Dress with Kelty and internet shopping. While I was cleaning out an old purse, I stumbled on over $100 worth of Forever21 giftcards from 5 years ago, so I made sure to take advantage of it. Turns out you can get A LOT from the store there for a hundred bucks. This is what my basket currently looks like:
So true. Coffee, you get me.
Thoughts before I press the order button?
Today I slept in till 8, then made myself some coffee and whole wheat pancakes before walking to the gym and doing 30 minutes of cardio and an arm workout. I haven’t done anything but sit on my butt and study for the last week and a half, so it felt so so so good to move!
Plans for today include packing, finishing up a freelance recipe (I’ll post the link when it’s up- it’s a good one! 😉 ), and hanging out with my housemates before everyone heads back to their hometown. I’ll be going back home fore a week or so before coming back to Santa Barbara for summer school, which should be pretty relaxed compared to what this last year has been. Did I mention that I’m moving into a beachside house with a whole bunch of other friends? So stoked!!
Life is good, my friends.
Question of the Day: What’s the most exciting thing to happen to you this last week?
Ahhhh congrats girl!!! SO exciting and now it is time to relax
I’m glad to hear this summer’s work load will be more low key and that you can enjoy the summer with a house full of franzzzzz <<(could be friends, could be franzia loll).
So I do a little bit of modeling, and the most exciting thing that happened to me in the last week was I found out I might get the cover of this mag. We will see!
OMG! How exciting! Can’t wait to hear more details :)!
I love everything except the peacock dress! You pull those flowy dresses off realllly well, but I’m just not loving how it falls on the model. I’m sure you will still look beautiful in it though!
That’s actually the one dress I’m kinda iffy on! I went back to investigate it again and realized that it’s in their plus sized department and they only have mediums available. Bummer!
On a separate note, I hope you’re doing well, love! I keep checking up on the blog to see how you’re doing and am sad to see no new updates! Sending lots of love :)<3.
Yay for being done! I love the clothes you are buying <3
Super happy for you, lady! Time to enjoy summer the way that it was meant to be enjoyed. Oh, and I totally need those coffee PJs…
YAY!!! Nothing beats the incredible feeling of finishing a school year….especially a hard one like yours was.
I love everything you picked…especially that first dress! I hope you click that ‘order’ button

Something About That
Yay! Now it’s time to relax and have fun. Congrats on finishing.
Congrats!!! It must feel amazing to be done. I love Forever 21, and you’ve got some great choices, but my favourites are the first pink dress, and the third bohemian dress – perfect for summer!
I love both those dresses as well! It took me a solid hour to narrow down my choices haha ;). Can’t wait to enjoy them in the summer heat!
You deserve it, my friend. Your brain has been fried with all the study, so now fry it with cooking. That sounds wrong but I’m delirious right now.
Yay, congrats! Love the first dress. And a beach house?! So jealous!
YAY!!!! Enjoy your time off before summer classes <3 I LOVE everything you chose, .. time to go to F21!
Congratulations Christine !!!!So very proud of your hard work. It pays off. You deserve all the dreams of your heart. I believe you will make them happen . Love all the outfits your gonna look do pretty, but you look pretty in anything I’m sure . I went to UCLA
Friday to follow up on getting a kidney transplant, that about the only exciting thing in my life recently . Love reading your amazing blog. Hugs Dina
Thank you so much for your kind words, Dina! They honestly mean so much to me and I had a huge smile on my face when I read this comment :). Gosh, I’m so sorry to hear about your kidney transplant! I hope you’re resting up and pain-free! Sending a million hugs back!
YAHHHHH! Im so glad your doooone! What a stress relief!! High Five!
Well, getting the coffee shirt is just a plain must, and I really like the very first dress!
But…i am jealous. Im trying to stamp it down, but life on the beach with friends just sounds too perfect right now! Like whaaaat? How does that even happen?? But I am glad you get it, you deserve it!
I seriously could high-five you with both my hands and my feet as well for good measure ;). I’m SO SO SO glad to be done! Glad we both agree on getting the coffee shirt haha! Great minds think alike ;).
Wahooo!! Cheers for FINALLY being done!! We are both going to be moving into a beachside house 😀 I looove that first dress!
WOOHOO! We can be beach babes together haha! Thanks :)!
Congrats on being done!! I totally miss the days of leaping into bed with whoever was nearby (totally PG, of course) and expressing my complete joy of having no immediate responsibility. Best feeling ever.
All that cute stuff you want from Forever 21? You should buy it. You earned it! Relish the good times, girl! 😉
I couldn’t agree more! That’s definitely one of the benefits of having roommates you’re super close to- there’s no such thing as personal space!
CONGRATULATIONS!Oh my goodness I am so excited for you!! I have so much respect for you being a biology major it’s unbelievable…you rock! Have so much fun this summer and buy all of those gorgeous clothes plus more.
Thanks, Emma! ARGHGHGHFGJF I’m so so so happy to be done haha. I want to scream and run around some more ;).
Yayyy!! It’s the most relieving feeling to be done for the semester! Moving into a beach house sounds like a blast!! I’m sure you’re going to love it. Enjoy not having classes for awhile
Isn’t it the best?! Especially when you know it’s all going to get better from here on out! I’m excited to get more of a non-studying college experience in :). Thanks, love!
YAYYY Congrats!!! You made it!! Doing a happy dance for you over here. I remember how amazing that feeling is! And ummm I NEED that off the shoulder printed dress with the awesome back. Might need to copy you on that one! Happy Summer my darlin’! Xoxox
WOOHHOO!!!! Isn’t it so cute? Dying over here. Nothing better than finding old gift cards ;). Feel free to so we can twin it up!
Congrats on being done!! What an awesome feeling:)
I feel like a million bucks haha! Thanks, Heidi :).
Congrats on finishing up all that hard work! You deserve some mega relaxation. Hopefully that beach house will help with that a bit 😉 Enjoy your time off!
Ahhh THANKS! I can’t even begin to express how good it feels to be done :).
Congrats! I totally felt the same way when I finished my finals! I’m a Nutrition and Exercise Health major and I’m taking {or going to take} all of those courses! So jealous that you’re already done with them : P
