Grad School Stress + Denim Romper

I have just finished up the most stressful week I have had since last summer (p.s. last summer was insanely stressful!).

Like most people, I enjoy getting my 7 hours of sleep, but this week I pulled an all nighter for the first time in years.  Between finishing things up at my speech internship site, and working on research paper drafts that have left my advisors unimpressed, I’ve had no “me” time. I’m all out of energy and no motivation to keep pushing forward. It’s hard to believe that in three months’ time I’ll be in a cap and gown. I know, I didn’t realize it was coming up so fast either! No matter how hard I try, I literally cannot imagine myself in a cap and gown right now. I’m looking in the tunnel and basically at the end, but there’s no light! Light, where are you???

Whether or not I find the “light” (gee, I’m really sticking with this light thing aren’t I), I know things will get better. Next week is Cinco de Mayo and I’m so ready for it! I’ll be celebrating with a margarita in hand and some Hispanic friends, preferably holding a taco in my other hand. My Mexican ancestors would be proud! The excitement is real, so I’ve checked the weather to plan my outfit. As of now, it’ll be a little cold and rainy. Definitely not cute romper weather, but if the weather is better where you are, I’ve linked some super sweet options for you.

Thank you for being so patient with my slow drip of content lately. Things will get better after I’ve submitted this final paper. I promise!

Winter Beanie

I’ll be an intern for the next eight months of my life (with Friday’s off of course!) before I finish my master’s program. I have one week to live it up before buckling down, and I just want to snuggle with my dogs and scrapbook. Am I crazy?! It’s strange to have all this time off when everyone I know is working their 9-5. Don’t get me wrong, I love having nothing to do, but I’d like to have at least a little something to do to keep me busy during the day. That’s where scrapbooking comes in!

Even with a wimpy winter in Texas, running to Hobby Lobby or Michael’s for materials with a bare head is a no go for me. Maybe I’m not creative enough, but I feel like the only way to keep your head warm is with a beanie.  I got the one I’m wearing from a street vendor a few years ago, but I was able to find a very cute and similar knitted one. My crossbody is from an in-store purchase at Zara just a couple weeks ago and I can’t find it online (I’m sorry!), but I found a couple similar ones linked below.
