lazy friday

I've spent the majority of the morning laying in bed not really doing anything. Until my roommate invited me to go to the small coffee place near the dorm. I got some hot chocolate (instead of coffee which is a surprising) and a fresh baked croissant.
I haven't had a croissant in a while, and oh how I missed it! Yesterday was national croissant day, and I had no croissants to eat so sad. Oh well it was a day late, but I still got to eat one!

My roommate is going home for the weekend so I don't know what I'll do. I'll probably spend it online window shopping to be honest. What do you guys have planned for the weekend?

online shopping is my weakness, please send help

(I'm in love)

Wow I'm impressed with myself two posts in a day! So I don't have any homework left for this week which means I can waste time on the internet (yay!). I've been looking through blogs I follow and from there I've gone to online shops and I've found beauties! Like this shirt look at how pretty it is! I want it so bad, I don't really own shirts like this and I feel like I need one. And let me bring attention to my cardigan obsession by referring you to this, this, and this. Lets not forget sweaters, here, here (so pretty but so expensive), and here. There are so many other sweaters, but if I keep linking them I'd never finish.
I'm saving up for a camera, and when I do get one I want this baby to carry it around.

So is online shopping your weakness? If not, what is? If yes, show me some of your favorite finds!

cooking and thinking of home

I made myself lunch today instead of reheating tv dinners or leftovers, some gnocchi with four cheese tomato sauce. Excuse the bad quality picture, my phone's battery died so I can't use it and took a picture with my tablet (which leaves a lot to be desired tbh). Anyways, since I can't use my phone I haven't talked with my mom in a while. Frankly, I miss my family and I miss being home and I miss my pets (read babies). It's hard being so far away from home, but it's harder being far away and not being able to communicate with my family everyday. I wonder what I've missed, how everyone is doing, even how the weather has been (granted I can google that, but I prefer asking my parents about it). It would be easier if my mom used facebook, but she doesn't have/want to. Hopefully by next week my new battery will be here. It won't change much from being homesick, but at least I'll be able to talk with the family.
Oh and the snow is slowly, but surely melting away.... It makes me a little sad because it might not snow again for a couple of years and I might not be here when it happens. Bye snow, I enjoyed your company for the short while you were here~~~
Have a great rest of the day you guys

a little snow.

It snowed yesterday! It hadn't snowed here since about 2011 so everyone was pretty excited. Although it didn't snow much at least we got to play a little bit.

I'm hoping it doesn't melt away quickly, although that seems unlikely.

I haven't posted in a while because my phone's battery died so now I have to get a new one and I had a test yesterday (have two tomorrow, wish me luck!)

Enjoy your day!

coffee time is me time

It's saturday and the dorm is quiet right now, with some roommates sleeping (meaning just one) and the  others not here for the weekend. So I made the best of this time by making myself some coffee and going through different websites. I've been on etsy, bed bath & beyond, target, and makeup sites for a little while now. Without buying anything yet, because I'm on a small budget right now. I did make a list and bookmarked some of the things I liked and wanted.

I've been wanting some garlands to decorate our dorm and I found these three cute options
Also, I've been on a coffee mug searching spree (because with two new coffee machines I clearly need more mugs than what I own) and I want [read need] these in my life.

I'm going to keep looking for ideas to decorate our dorm room in a cute, but simple way. We don't relly like anything over the top or overwhelming. Do any of you have any good ideas? Or any decorating blogs to recommend? I'm all ears.. or eyes(?) I'm open to ideas at this point really.

Well I'm going to spend the rest of my day doing my nails, studying a bit, looking up diy decorating ideas, and watching some shows with my roommate. What are you guys up to this Saturday?

Ah I hear my roommate's door opening so I guess she's awake now, bye!

calm friday

 

I just got back from eating with friends~  It doesn't really feel like a friday to me, it's been a pretty chill and calm day.

I went to the store and then for dinner with my friends right after class, so I haven't been in the dorm for long today.

We got some t-discs for Momo the tassimo and we're so excited to finally use it! Other than that I found out I can't use my card here at all so I have to wait for a check now, and that's all

Have a good weekend everyone

another day.

 

Hi, so it's another day in class nothing really interesting happened today. Yesterday night though it was pretty frustrating... I couldn't go to the store, because I had problems with my atm from back home.

I'm not from the states so my mom has to send me money through an account I have back home and then I normally withdraw the money from an atm machine and deposit it in my account here in the states. For some reason none of the atms that I usually use was accepting my card, so now I have to wait about a week for a check from my parents to arrive.

So, I'm broke for a week. Ah...the life of a college student.

I'm not mad or anything though, I'm actually pretty calm. Why get mad? It's not my fault (or my mom's) so I just have to move on.

btw look at how cute our window looks now! I added a plant (fake bc clearly we don't have a green thumb) and some cute solar bobble head type of things... idk what their called. What do you guys think?

Con amor,
