Fall Music

In the fall, I listen to very music than I listen to in the summer. In the summer I am a HUGE country music kind of girl. I also love pop, and anything that makes me feel happy and relaxed. In the fall I listen to darker, more folksy music, and more singer-songwriter style. (There are some exceptions to this, as you will see!) I have found almost all of my favorite music from tumblr, or from this blog post (written by my favorite girl on tumblr!). I have recently gotten a spotify, so this is basically my "fall" playlist from there!

(Song Title  |  Artist)

Death's Song  |  City and Color
Fred Astaire  |  San Cisco
Black Flies  |  Ben Rector
Mountain Sound  |  Of Monsters & Men
Brother  |  Matt Corby
Slumber  |  NEEDTOBREATHE
When A Heart Breaks  |  Ben Rector
The Cave  |  Mumford & Sons
Awkward  |  San Cisco
All I Want  |  Kodaline
Only Love  |  Ben Rector
Untitled  |  Matt Corby
Drive All Night  |  NEEDTOBREATHE
John's Song  |  San Cisco
Let Her Go  |  Passenger
Hopeless Wanderer  |  Mumford & Sons

Note: Driving to school, I just put in my Mumford & Sons CD, so thats 90% of the music I will be listening to! So all those songs should be mentioned, but I thought that would be excessive.

Hope y'all check them out and enjoy them as much as I do!

Junior Year Craziness!

Even though I have only had four weeks of classes, I am so stressed out already! Along with going to a very difficult college prep school, I play volleyball, am a yearbook editor, and an officer on two community service clubs. It's been really hard getting everything done. I'll just fill you all in on everything that is going on in my life right now!

Volleyball:

I don't really get play, but I try my hardest. This is my second year on the varsity team, and I really love the girls on it. It just sucks that I never get to play, but I am hoping that next year I finally will play more! Some of my best friends are on the team with me, so that has made the team so fun!




As you can see, we obviously have a lot of fun together before the games! We have jeans days every month that you can pay for, and the money will go to one of our charity clubs. Another one of my school's traditions is that everyone on a team will dress in a theme before a big home game. We dressed up as cowgirls, although by the time we took this pictures we were all in a state of undress.


School:

PreCalc BC is literally killing me, and my planner is literally SO FULL of homework assignments, games, meetings, social events, I can barely squeeze anything else in. French III this year is so hard as well. I really like my Physics teacher, that's my favorite class so far! I am literally in the library everyday working on homework due that day or the next, or studying for a test.


College:

I have recently attended a college info session for Johns Hopkins, and I loved it! I have only been there for a lacrosse tournament two years ago, when college was not even on my mind. Now, I wish I had taken more notice of the school and it's surroundings! Other info sessions that I want to attend are University of Georgia, University of South Carolina, Davidson, Sewanee, Vanderbilt, and William and Mary. Sadly, I don't think I will be able to go to all of them because of Volleyball and some classes that I cannot switch around in my schedule. I also recently sat in on college info sessions for UVA, McDaniel College, and Franklin and Marshall. I really liked UVA, but couldn't see myself at McDaniel or F&M! I cannot wait to finally have an official visit to Washington and Lee this fall.

My favorite colleges so far:
-Davidson
-William & Mary*
-Wake Forest
-Johns Hopkins
-UVA
-Washington and Lee*
-Vanderbilt

Other ones I like are:
-Georgetown*
-Boston College
-University of Georgia
-Sewanee

Let me know if there are any others that I should check out!


Clothes:

I have started getting sweaters, long skirts, and jeans that I will be wearing this fall and winter.


I am almost positive that I will be buying this dress for homecoming! I love the leather detailing, and I love even more that it is vegan leather! Just in general, I love blacks, reds, emerald greens, and royal blues for homecoming. I couldn't find any other ones that I loved, so I think this one will be the one that  I'll end up getting.


I am so excited for fall. I love pumpkins! I actually had my first pumpkin thing of the season today, pumpkin pie frozen yogurt from my local fro-yo joint. I put pie crust and pretzels on it and it was amazing!

This fall I know my tumblr will be filled with pumpkins, leaves, and sweaters. However, I also have another tumblr where I basically post pictures like that year round! Check out my fall/interior tumblr HERE for fall inspiration! It makes me feel so cozy just reblogging pictures onto it.

I never really thought I would say that I'm excited for fall, but I definitely am!

See y'all later!
XOXOXO,

Long Time No See!

I have been so busy with school over the past three weeks I can barely take it! Volleyball is taking away from my study time, so study time is taking away from my free time. Anyways, here is a recap of the past few weeks!



 ^ The annual first day of school picture! I cannot believe that I only have one more left!



 ^ I have completely redone my tumblr page, it's a totally new theme! ( I also changed the banner on this blog!)

> I have asked my since-we-were-6-months-old best guy friend to Homecoming (with baby pictures!)

> I have gotten my mom's old car, and I have been driving to school (by myself!)

And I've done a lot of online shopping, and a lot of Facebook stalking the freshman in college who went to my HS. I cannot wait to be at college! It's so close, but so far away at the same time. We are starting to learn about the whole process in seminars held at my school over the next two days, and I cannot wait to hear what they say!

My IN-SCHOOL-Frenchie gets here October 14th! Her name is Hannah and I am so excited to host another person! As of right now, I am kind of excited for fall. I will be visiting Washington and Lee this November. I am so excited for Homecoming at my school, carving pumpkins, and eating lots of pumpkin pancakes (and other kinds of pumpkin flavored goodies).

XOXOXO,
Kels
