My Crazy Beautiful Life


Hi everyone!
   Here I am again, so many blog posts behind that I can't even count them! It's been a really busy month, so I haven't had much time to blog, but I do want to take the time tell you all about my weekend, because it was chock-full of excitement!
   Last weekend was Trojan Family Weekend at USC, which means there were tons of fun events going on, both on and off campus. On Saturday I went to the USC football game with my boyfriend Sam, and we cheered the Trojans on to a 19-3 victory. Fight on Trojans! We also had a super-cheesy-but-still-pretty-darn-cute photo shoot at a tailgate before the game. Here are some of the pics!

Fight On! 
On Sunday, I got married!!! JUST KIDDING I DID NOT GET MARRIED, but I did get to wear a long white gown for my sorority Presents ceremony. Presents is the formal ceremony where the newest pledge class of a sorority is "presented" to friends and family. I had so much fun at my Presents, and I was surrounded by my friends, family, and of course, all of my ADPi sisters! Here are some fun pictures of my sororities' Presents ceremony!

I also had a really exciting moment for my aspiring journalism career over the weekend! Two of my articles were published in the newest issue of Campus Circle newspaper (Vol. 23 Issue 20)! The first article is my interview with pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne, and the second article is my guide to throwing an epic Halloween party! I had so much fun writing both of these articles, and seeing my articles in print always brings the biggest smile to my face! I truly love writing, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to write stories on topics that are fun and interesting to me through my internship with Campus Circle. I hope that I will be able to continue this line of journalism and have a successful career doing what I love. I just have to keep working hard, and not listen to anyone who tells me I'm not good enough. Most importantly, I have to never, ever, give up on my dreams!

I'm published, y'all!
This weekend was amazing for a million different reasons, but the main reason why I had such an incredible weekend is because it reminded me of how truly blessed I am to have such amazing family, friends, and fun experiences in my life. Sometimes things can be super-busy and hectic for me, and in those moments I often forget to take a step back and appreciate how much love and support I have in my life. This weekend was my wake-up call, and now I will make an effort to stress less and appreciate more. I hope you enjoyed reading about my weekend, and I can't wait for you guys to see what I'm up to in the next few weeks!

Date Night!

Hello everyone! 

       Oh my goodness, has it really been this long since I've posted on here?! I am ridiculous! So much has happened in the past few weeks that there is no way I'm going to be able to tell you everything I've been doing, so I'll just focus on last weekend!
On Friday night, my boyfriend Sam and I went to my sorority invite! It was so much fun! We went to a club in Hollywood and danced the night away! This is Sam and I all dressed up before leaving for the venue-- the theme was "Adpis and Bowties," and we looked pretty sharp if I do say so myself!



On Saturday Night, Sam and I checked out the restaurant Wockano downtown. We had an amazing time here! We tried On Saturday Night, Sam and I checked out the restaurant Wockano downtown. We had an amazing time here! We tried  their speciality "Late-Night Party Roll," and some other sushi rolls, along with a few of their speciality drinks, and they were all delicious! Here's a pic of Sam and I after stuffing our faces with good food. 




On Sunday morning, Sam and I joined some friends for a lovely brunch at one of my favorite spots around USC, Bacaro L.A. I had "The Heart Attack" breakfast sandwich, which is basically a bacon and egg sandwich on a donut (hence the name of the sandwich). I also had quite a few bellinis, so needless to say, I was a happy girl at the end of brunch ;).  
         
   




It was a great weekend with my boy, and the perfect end to September. Here's looking forward to a month of new adventures!
