My Chic Week: March 3-16

Happy Friday y'all! This week has certainly been busy but in a good way as a lot of the busy "stuff" is exciting things coming up, especially with spring break around the corner (less than a month!). My NHS chapter is having our big Dance Marathon tonight to raise funds for our philanthropy so it has been busy prepping for that but I'm so excited for the event!

Since I didn't get a My Chic Week post up last week for y'all, I'm combining the past two weeks so y'all can still get a glimpse of what I've been up to but I was still able to get other posts up on the blog this week. The usual On my Radar will be a part of tomorrow's Weekend Reading post so be sure to be on the lookout for that!

Two weekends ago, my mom and I headed up to Elon for their scholarship weekend. I took Friday off from school and we were able to tour all four of Elon's residential neighborhood, which was really nice to see, and also attended a session about internships. After that session ended, I was able to meet up with Carrie of Carrie on Blogs who also was attending the weekend and it was so fun to meet her "in real life".

We had a quick dinner at Panera before heading back to campus for a opening reception for Education majors, where we were able to learn a bit more about the program.

Saturday morning, my mom and I were up somewhat early to get head back to Elon for a busy day of attending a panel where alumni spoke about their experience at Elon, attending a session about the Education Fellows program, eating lunch, having my interview, grabbing coffee with my mom, going to my seminar, and then meeting with one of the students currently in the Teaching Fellows program  before heading back home. Once my mom and I got home, we were fairly tired and so I just had a quieter night at home and caught up on a few things for school and the blog.

Since I missed school that Friday, I used that Sunday to catch up on homework and also go to a Pure Barre class. Thankfully, I had some more exciting plans in the afternoon as one of my friends and I had lunch at Dean and Deluca (which I previously visited here). It was so fun catching up with her and, not to mention, the food was delicious!

Two weeks ago was a short week and thankfully wasn't too crazy compared to the past month or so of school!

Last weekend, we had Friday off of school but my mom and I were up bright and early to go visit Clemson for an Education major Open House (read about my last visit here). We made a pit stop for Starbucks before a busy and fun day at Clemson. I was able to learn more about the Elementary Education program, meet some other girls going to Clemson, and then go on a campus tour.

Since we were so close to another school I was looking at, Furman University (read about my last two visits here and here), we decided to stop in on the way home before I officially made my decision. I pretty much decided on Clemson in the car and put in my deposit that night haha!

Saturday was another busy day as I was up early for a 7 AM barre class. I babysat two "shifts" on Saturday as well (one in the morning and one at night) and got a bit of homework done so it was definitely a productive day.

Sunday, I went to another Pure Barre class before doing some more homework. My dad wanted to go to Nordstrom so I gladly went to the mall with my parents. While we were there, I tried on all of my current Lilly favorites (literally all. of. them. haha) and also placed my pre-order for Lunch at Lilly this weekend.

I quickly grabbed a few things at Sephora, went to Vineyard Vines, and then we headed back home where I had even more exciting homework to do haha!

The rest of this week went by in a blur so I'll give y'all the short list: quite a few Pure Barre classes, nannying, a few meetings, a few assignments due, and then meeting up for coffee with another girl who is going to Clemson!
