my week in instagram #38 + weekly roundup

Long time no see! I've been really sick this past week, so I took a few days off to sleep, eat a lot of cold medicine, and now I'm finally feeling better and ready to go.

me during the beginnings of my illness // finished framing one of three pieces for the student art show (I find out on Monday if they make it in) // doing homework with Matt/him making me feel better // finally editing some self portraits // I finally found my novel! No more excuses for Lauren // laying outside in the Oregon sun with my roommate // eating breakfast outside // my awesome photo crew for my latest photography assignment // hanging out at the park/having a picnic with my friends

This week, I tried tomato soup and fruit juice for the first time. Being sick makes a person do crazy things, like ignore their pickiness for the sake of getting better. But seriously, I kind of want to branch out a little bit with my food choices. Tomato soup and fruit juice still taste super weird to me, but we'll take it in little steps.

Also this week, I was incredibly thankful for my friends. They are so willing to help me, be that through getting me food while I'm sick, or being my assistants for photoshoots. I really love them so much and I'll forever be grateful for them.

Weekly roundup (an effort to maintain my new years resolutions):

1. writing: I read through my entire novel thus far and man, it needs a lot of work.
2. photos: oooh yeeeah.
3. diy project: did yet another one tonight!
4. outfit photos: nope, but I was sick.
5. college street style: Again, sick.
6. book: I'm starting to be more inclined to pick up a book in my spare time, so that is definitely a good thing.
7. sketch: Yep! In fact, I'm working on a fun art project right now.

Have an awesome week everyone!

college street style: february edition

As writer for the school newspaper, I do a column about college street style. Here's some outfits I found particularly inspiring, especially with everyone's use of color..

blue eyes and button ups

dress: borrowed // shirt: Matt // boots: forever 21





I'm currently sick (these photos are from a few days ago), and even though I have a lot of things I want to talk about, I don't really feel like giving cognitive effort to write them all out at the moment.

Hopefully I'll be well enough for class tomorrow and the rest of this week since I have three papers due and a couple other assignments. But I shall not bore you with my school schedule.






I hope you have a not-boring, sickness free day!
