Awesome.

So, this week couldn't get much better!!

Why??

1. I GRADUATED!! Yes, I am officially an alumnae of the University of Georgia [and yes, I need a big-girl job now!]







2. I have an internship for the summer -- it was supposed to be unpaid. They offered course credit, but of course I don't need that since I graduated and all! I met with them on Monday, then Tuesday I got an email that said they all agreed they would pay me a $1000 monthly stipend for the three months I'll be working there! Talk about complete surprise and excitement!!

3. I just checked online to see how my big [or small :/] my paycheck was going to be Friday, when lo and behold, I got a $.37 raise! No one told me, I had no idea it was time for one, but YAY! [I know 37 cents doesn't seem like a lot, but since it put me right at the next dollar mark, it feels HUGE!]

So, needless to say, I'm in a great mood today!


Now, to link up with Leigh Ashley for Wee Bit Wednesday:


{one} do you watch the history channel? if so, what’s your favorite program?
No, not regularly. Sometimes I'll watch a show that catches my eye every now and again.

{two} what is your favorite thing to do on a rainy day?
Stay indoors, particularly in bed if I can help it...and watch Lifetime movies with the roommates for as long as possible!

{three} what does your dream house look like?
I'm not entirely sure...it depends on the climate of where I'm wanting to live at that moment. But I know I want a huge front porch; a big, open family room and kitchen; a great yard with lots of outdoor entertainment space. Right now, I really like the craftsman and coastal homes look.

{four} what state were you born in?
Georgia.

{five} do you have a change jar? if so, what do you use it for when it gets full?
No. I used to have a giant pickle jar but my parents have it now. It was supposed to be our Disney World jar, but we went before it got full!

{six} what’s the first website you look at when you get on the computer?
Facebook usually. Don't judge me.

{seven} what is your favorite breakfast?
Biscuits. Gravy. Bacon. Scrambled Eggs. YUM.

{eight} what’s the most memorable trip you’ve ever taken?
I went to Jamaica when I was in high school on a mission trip for a week, and I'd love to go back!

{nine} do you prefer your coffee black or with cream/milk/sugar?
The more sugar and flavor, the better. I'm not a fan of the way coffee tastes, but give me some Bailey's French Vanilla creamer and sugar and I'm good to go!

{ten} have you ever done a professional photo shoot?
Do Glamour Shots or senior pictures in high school count?

Last, but not least, I need some suggestions for good summer reading! Now that I'm no longer partaking in higher education, I guess I should still continue to educate myself [plus, I need something to do while my roommates are doing homework for their summer classes! haha.] I just joined Good Reads, but I could still use some help! So, what are your favorite stories of all time??

8 days!

I know I'm on a graduation kick, but after 18 long years of school, it's hard to believe it's finally here!

I showed you my graduation present from my mommy yesterday, but now here's my outfit I finally picked out for graduation! I'm so excited to wear this [mostly the shoes :)]!!




My dress :) from a great little place called Entourage!



And my Steve Madden shoes [style: Staciee in Oyster]!! These are my favorite new babies! Since nude is the new black [or brown? or whatever!], I've been dying over all the pretty shoes in the variations of that color. And yesterday, I found these and fell in LOVE.


Annnd, my half-finished cap for graduation. [I don't know why this picture won't load up and down...it's saved that way on my computer?? I guess you'll just have to turn your computer sideways! :)]

8 more days!!


F is for Finals.

Finals, finals, finals.

That should be a dirty word.

I'm done with two classes and have two more to go, I'm 8 days away from graduation... it seems so close yet so far! Ahh! I have a cumulative spanish final on Friday that's making me super nervous, and then a Law of Mass Communications final at 8am Monday morning [and I have to work 8-5 Saturday and Sunday...not exactly sure when I'm going to study! :/] And then....I'M DONE FOREVER!

I got my graduation present from my mommy today...I'm in LOVE!



Also, I started a tumblr today. I have no idea what I'm doing! Do ya'll have one of these?
