End of Sophomore Year Recap

After Thursday's post explaining why Chic in Carolina has been pretty quiet lately + my thoughts on blogging, I figured I should get y'all up to speed on everything that has been going on in my life lately. One of the major takeaways from my reader survey so far is that y'all love reading about what's going on in my life so grab a coffee and let's catch up!

The last posts on the blog were about Spring Break so a lot has happened since then!

Cookout for CASA

In early April, my sorority had our final philanthropy event, Cookout for CASA. I had the incredible honor of serving my sisters as Philanthropy Chair, meaning I was in charge of planning and organizing the event, and it was amazing to see the months of work come together for the event. We were able to raise over $23,000 for foster children in the Upstate of South Carolina and I am still amazed by my chapter's hard work alongside the support of our incredible alumni.

Clemson Spring Game

The day after Cookout for CASA was Clemson's Spring Game! My mom was in town for the philanthropy event so she treated my friends and I to brunch before she headed out of town that day. We then headed to the game for a bit before going to the baseball game and then to Chili's for dinner. My friends and I literally spent the entire day together and it's definitely one of my favorite memories from sophomore year!

Theta's Last Ride

Right before my trip to Florida, I had my final sorority function (read this post for the back story on that). It was a two night function but I only went to the first night as I was in Florida the second night. The theme was Theta's Last Ride so everyone wore cowboy/western attire, which was so fun!

Easter in Florida

I took a quick trip to Florida to celebrate Easter with my family! It started off on the rocky side with my flight being cancelled and an unexpected night at home in Charlotte but it was great to see my family before the craziness of the last week of class and exams!

Last Weekend in Clemson 

The last Friday before exams, my friends and I went to Smokin' Pig, the yummiest barbecue place near campus, and then went to the dikes to watch the sunset. We then went back to the hall to have game night and it was so fun spending time with my girls before we all had to leave for the summer!

Exam Week & Move Out

This year I only had three exams but they didn't start until Wednesday, which was a bit of a bummer (my roommate finished all of her exams before I even took my first one haha). Thankfully, I did well on all of them and it was soon time to head home to Charlotte!

I moved out on Friday and it was so bittersweet seeing my empty room (see it fully decorated here) and seeing the Theta hall for the last time!

Week at Home

After exams, I had exactly one week at home before my trip to Italy! I unpacked all of my stuff, put aside everything I'm bringing to my house for next year, nannied, worked out, and then packed for Italy!

Studying Abroad in Italy

I'll be sharing more on this but I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in Italy for three weeks in May! It was through Clemson's College of Ed so I was able to shadow in local schools, which was amazing, as well as travel to different cities!

Luke Bryan Concert

Just last weekend my roommate and I went to the Luke Bryan concert here in Charlotte! Rachel is from Raleigh so she came down to visit for the concert! I've been a Luke Bryan fan for years and he was amazing to see in concert!

Thanks for reading!
