First Day of College (8/29)

Woah. Today has been a CRAZY day. Well, not super crazy, but my first day of college was today! Yes, a little terrifying, but I was "ready" to start. I mean I was ready to start having a schedule in my life and start meeting new people, but I was/am definitely not ready for the homework, papers, midterms, finals, etc. Oh well, it had to start sometime. I love this campus so much. There is a lot of construction happening right now and construction gives me a little "anxiety." Without the construction, I am in LOVE with the campus. It is so green and the people are so friendly.

I definitely have had to step out of my comfort zone the past couple of days though. I am a sociable person and love to be around people (for the most part), but I definitely do not like having to be the first to talk to people. However, I know my true self and that is someone who is friendly and talks to everyone, so I made it an effort to smile to all the people I saw and talk to those that sat next to me in class. Still scary though. Something that is terrifying is that all grades could be represented in any class so there is little me in a class with a ton of seniors. Talk about deer in the headlights. There was me with all my notebooks, pencils, pens, binders, printed syllabi, and my agenda, and then there were seniors with nothing but a laptop and maybe a pencil. I probably stuck out like a sore thumb. With my fears and my desire to call my mom that I was coming home, I did have a good first day. It will definitely be rough, but in the end, it will be all worth it.

Today I was dressed head to toe (somewhat) in "Called to Surf." It is this adorable online store (there is one retail shop) and I love basically everything they have. A lot of the stuff that they have really similar (or the same brand) to Anthropologie, for SO much cheaper. I wore the Island Falls Elegant Top. This shirt is too cute. It fits sooo nicely and you can dress it up or down. My shoes were the Primetime Short Boot (couldn't find exact color) also from Called to Surf. I accessorized with bracelets from the actual store as well as my Kate spade watch and earrings.
Enjoy!
