...Panera Bread

This is my favorite salad (BBQ Chicken) ever!

I don't know how I would survive without getting

my fix at Panera Bread every once in a while :)

...crunchy leaves

Walking to class and hearing the crunch of colorful leaves

beneath my boots is the best! They make

the walk enjoyable along with the cool weather.

...fall candles

As the scent of this candle fills my room, 

it truly feels like fall!

(my favorite time of year)

...lights in the night

This fantastic sight of paper lanterns in the sky was 

on Friday in Grand Rapids as an entry for Art Prize.

The sight and sensation was unbelievable.

...Dr. Seuss quotes

I love how fun and true Dr. Seuss is. 

I find a lot of his quotes making me inspired and smiling!

...nights with the girls

Sometimes you just need a girl's night to 

unwind, relax and have a few laughs!

...my mickey mouse sweater

I live in this sweater once fall comes around.

It is perfectly worn in and the most 

comfortable thing around!

...exploring new places

The world is a huge place, but my goal is to discover
 and explore as many places as I am able.

...my psycho roommate

Linds has been a part of my life since the velcro-shoe days 

 of kindergarten. Looking forward to a great sophomore

year at GVSU with her! Love ya Luden <3  

...freshman year

One of the first gatherings in Kistler (soup kitchen.) I will never forget

this amazing year at Grand Valley and the friends

and memories that were made.

It's been fun =)

...hedgehogs

They are irresistibly cute. One day I will buy myself one to make me happy forever ♥ 

...sleeping in your own bed

You can't beat your own bed. It feels so right to crash 

and rest your head on your pillow.

...receiving Easter baskets via mail from your Mommy

I wish I could spend Easter at home with the family,

but exam week has me all tied up. My mom was incredibly

thoughtful and sent me some goodies in the mail at college :]

...owning an umbrella & rain boots

Nothing beats splashing in puddles without getting your feet soaked.

...5th grade cartoon drawings made by college students

Adam Drews was kind enough to create this masterpiece for me

so I decided to return the favor...

It's a roly-poly panda on a mushroom.

...brothers who make you create a blog
