Happy Friday from at home in Charlotte! I am officially home for Thanksgiving Break (yay for my classes next week being canceled) and I am so excited to have some time to chill before the craziness of the end of the semester. I apologize for this post getting up later than usual but I have so much to catch y'all up on so let's get started!
Friday morning, I got up and went to my math class- nothing too exciting! After my class, I picked my little Nora up at her apartment and we headed back to my house so I could quickly change before going to lunch with one of our old Theta advisors!
After lunch, I dropped Nora off and then got some laundry done and hung out. Friday night was super exciting as my friend Maggie (who I met through blogging) was in Clemson so I went to dinner with her and her sweet roommate. They are both Thetas at Wofford and it was so much fun finally getting to meet her!
I then had a pretty chill night as Nora came over and we made brownies.
This weekend was pretty chill overall, which was definitely welcomed after a few crazy busy weeks! My roommate was out of town so I was able to get a lot done! On Saturday, I slept in before getting a bit of blog organization done. I then got ready and picked Nora up so we could go to Target. I needed a few random things and I always love a good Target run!
Clemson had an away game so we ordered pizza and our friend Olivia came over to watch it with us!
Sunday was a get my life together kind of a day haha! I slept in, made some pumpkin bread and pumpkin cookies, did laundry, cleaned my house, caught up on some homework, and worked on some blog posts!
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were all pretty typical days full of class, working on homework and projects, going to the gym, nothing too crazy!
My first two classes of the day were canceled that Thursday, which was so nice as I was able to sleep in and get a good chunk of a paper done. I then went to my 2 PM class before heading back home. I had an USAB meeting Thursday night then went out to dinner with a bunch of my friends, which was so much fun!
Last Friday started off on the early side as I had a school visit for one of my classes that was about 30 minutes away. I offered to drive a group of my friends so we went to the school and then stopped at Panera afterwards for lunch, which was a lot of fun. It was kind of strange being up so early and being dressed nicely but I guess I will have to get used to that with more field placements right around the corner.
My afternoon was pretty laid back as Rachel and I watched Grey's then I worked on homework. One of our friends was hosting a 21st party for one of her friends so Rachel and I stopped by for a little bit before going to bed!
Saturday was our last home football game of the season, which definitely was a bit bittersweet as I'll be a senior the next time I'm in Death Valley! We went to one of our friend's house to eat lunch and hung out a bit before walking to campus. It was a 3:30 game so we didn't have too much time before the game and we headed into the stadium with a good chunk of time to spare (after taking pictures of course!)
4 for the 4th quarter ft. my gorgeous new Clemson ring!!
The field was PACKED after the game!
We beat Wake Forest and it was such a fun one! We stayed the whole time to rush the field and then walked back to our friend's house before getting McAlister's for dinner. The nice thing about 3:30 games is that you're done fairly early so I was able to go to bed somewhat early!
On Sunday night, Rachel and I hosted Friendsgiving for our friends, which was so much fun! I decided to make a turkey, which was quite the operation and I spent a bit of time getting it ready then waiting for it to cook in the oven! It turned out pretty well and we had quite the spread of food! The end of the semester is quickly approaching so it was fun to see so many of my friends!
Monday was a bit of an odd day as both of my classes were unexpectedly canceled. I always love when classes get canceled but I was about to walk out the door when I got the email so it made me feel a bit all over the place for the day! I wound up getting a lot of work done, which is always a good thing, and then met up with a few friends to work on a project for our reading class. After we finished, I picked Rachel up and we grabbed Chipotle for dinner. My family just got Disney+ so we watched the second High School Musical movie!
Tuesday was a full day of classes and then I had lunch with friends in between. I came home, attempted to pack, did homework, and then watched the 3rd High School Musical movie haha!
Wednesday morning was pretty typical as I had my two classes and then headed home. I made lunch and decided to do my hair before heading back to campus to film a video for my reading class. We managed to get it done fairly quickly, which was such a relief!
Wednesday night was really exciting as Rachel, our friend Madison, and I decided to go to the Jonas Brothers concert in Charlotte! We literally bought our tickets Wednesday afternoon and then drove to Charlotte. The concert was so so fun and so worth the late night and 6 hours in the car!

Getting up on Thursday morning was a little rough after going to bed so late the night before but thankfully my 11 AM class canceled so after my 9:30 AM, I was able to go home for a bit. I put off packing to the last second and was glad I had time to do that as well as tidy up my house before leaving for a week! I then went to my 2 PM, which actually was the last time that class meets in person which is crazy to think about!
I drove Nora to the airport, which I drive by on my way from Clemson to Charlotte, so I picked her up at her apartment before stopping at my house to get all of my stuff. We were then on the road and thankfully traffic wasn't bad at all! I had dinner at home with my family and then went to bed early, which is always welcomed!
Happy Friday!
