Friday was the first day of Fall Break and I had three classes to get through before heading off to Columbia, South Carolina to visit my bestie Riley!
Riley is a Delta Zeta at USC and they had a "You are What You Netflix" function, which was so much fun! We went as Serena and Blair and it was fun to meet some of her DZ friends, including her big and her twin, as well as to see her sorority house (especially since we don't have houses here at Clemson).
After the function, we headed back to her dorm, ordered pizza, caught up, and then talked to Riley's roomie!
Saturday morning, we slept in before going to Soda City, an adorable farmer's market in downtown Columbia. We walked around for a bit before getting the most delicious mini donuts and then grabbing coffee at a cute little coffee shop.
The drive from Columbia to Charlotte is about a hour and a half, which wasn't bad at all. It was so nice to see my puppies after nearly two months and, of course, see my family. My little brother turned 16 on Sunday so we went out to one of his favorite restaurants Saturday night and had cake and presents afterwards.
Sunday morning, we went to Mass and then had brunch at one of my family's favorite spots, which was so yummy.
I went to barre for the first time in two months Sunday afternoon, which was great and it totally kicked my butt. We had steak for dinner Sunday and oh my goodness, it was incredible haha.
I had a doctor's appointment Monday morning and then my mom and I went shopping afterwards, which was so much fun. Clemson is in a rural area of South Carolina and it was fun to stop by some of my favorite stores.
We went to Anthropologie first where I bought this top that I am absolutely obsessed with. Plus, I couldn't help but look at the candle section haha! Next, we obviously went to Lilly and I wound up buying this dress that I can't wait to wear to my field placement.
My mom and I stopped at a few other stores and then went back home. We took the puppies to the park, which was adorable!
I surprised the little boys I nanny and picked them up from school on Monday afternoon, which was so fun!
Tuesday morning, I went to another barre class and then ran errands afterwards. I grabbed a juice at a local juice bar, which was amazing, and then went to Whole Foods and Target.
I stopped by my high school to bring my younger brother lunch and to say hi to my teachers. I also wound up visiting my mom at work before going to get my hair cut (and I got a lot cut off!).
I had one last dinner at home until Thanksgiving Break and then headed back to Clemson!
Wednesday was a bit difficult getting back into the swing of things but my sorority had a Panhellenic Pal event with another sorority on campus to paint pumpkins, which was so much fun and such a good stress reliever.
Thursday was another busy day especially since I'm trying to get back into the routine of blogging! I had class, worked on homework, had my second class, and then hung out with friends on my hall.
1. A relaxed weekend! I don't have too much planned for the weekend so I'm hoping to catch up on school work and blogging!
2. Tuckernuck's entire website is 20% off until Sunday with the code OMG20
