Happy November! I am currently...

Reading... Made for You by Melissa Marr. I may be 21 years old, but I still absolutely love reading young adult novels of any genre. Right now I'm reading this thriller about a well-loved, popular girl who has a stalker who runs her down with his car. After waking up in the hospital, she discovers a new gift/curse: she can foresee people's deaths when they touch her. I'm only about a third into the book right now, but so far I like it! I find the premise of the story really interesting.

Wishlisting... these adorable tights from ModCloth. It's a dream come true: my obsession with cats as well as my love for knee-high socks -- combined! I may just have to buy these...

Loving... my new lovely backpack from Urban Outfitters. It's big, which is perfect to carry all of my books to class in. It's floral, which is perfect just in general. It's unique, I haven't seen anyone else with it walking around campus -- pretty much all I see are North Face book bags.

Appreciating... God's words. My favorite verse recently has been Romans 12:12, which says, "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." These three simple commands have been continuously flowing in my mind. I wrote the verse on a sticky note and put it on my bed's headboard so that I'll see it every morning I wake up and every night before I fall asleep.

Creating... wall art! Bare white walls bore me to death so I'm sprucing up my bedroom walls with some DIY projects. This pretty dream catcher is my latest craft and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Happy October! This is the absolute best month out of the entire year and I am so excited for it to finally be autumn. Currently, I am...

Smelling... the red velvet cake my mom made me for my 21st birthday. I brought the leftovers back with me to college and, with the help of my roommates, it is slowly being eaten day by day. Why do cakes take forever to completely eat!?

Loving... my eno hammock. Spending almost $100 on it a few months ago made me cringe (I'm a broke college student) but it has been so worth the cost. I take this baby with me everywhere and love spending my afternoons hanging underneath the trees listening to music and reading a good book. It's also a great excuse to explore all the nooks and crannies of Wilmington - I've been going to a lot of new places and hammocking there either alone or with friends. So relaxing!

Planning... a trip to Busch Gardens in Virginia with my mom and best friend Sarah! I am SO EXCITED for this because roller coasters are my favorite, Halloween is my favorite, the two people I'm going with are my favorite, and it's during my favorite month! During the day we'll be riding all the rides and then at night it's Howl-O-Scream, the scary fun Halloween event which features tons of haunted houses. We're going in 2 weeks, during my fall break -- eeeee!

Baking... Greek yogurt pancakes. Okay, so I know it's not technically "baking," but seriously, I am obsessed with cooking pancakes using Greek yogurt now. It gives them a totally different texture/taste and is also healthy! (Up until I drown them in syrup that is). I'll post a recipe soon!

Celebrating... my friend Liz's wedding! She graduated from college this past May and is now getting married on Saturday. I am so thrilled for her and have been waiting for this day for months! Liz was such a wonderful friend and Christian influence to me during my first two years of college and it was so sad watching her leave and move back home. So I am really excited to finally see her (and her fiance Alex) again this weekend.

What is happening in my life? I am currently:

Writing... in my prayer journal again. I haven't done it in months but am trying to get back into the routine again. It's really fascinating going back and re-reading old prayers and realizing how God answered them. There are even prayers that I am still praying about months or even a year later. My prayer journal has greatly helped me realize the main things that I usually find myself praying about. It also guides me to remain focused on my conversation with the Lord instead of becoming distracted. I encourage everyone to start writing out your prayers.

Anticipating... my 21st birthday! In a little over two weeks I will be celebrating this big year and I am so pumped. It's really crazy to think that I will actually be this old. My friends want to make me their favorite drinks so that should be interesting since I've barely had any alcohol in my life before! Also planning a birthday trip to Busche Gardens with one of my best friends and I could not be more excited.

Missing... Thailand! I went for ten days this past July and it was an incredible, life-changing trip. I think about that memorable experience almost every single day and am crossing my fingers that one day I'll be able to return. Thailand was such a beautiful country filled with friendly, loving people that stole my heart.

Wearing... my newest favorite pair of shoes from Target. According to my mom, she had the same exact pair of shoes when she was my age. Still not sure what to make of this comment. Also, a friend told me her grandmother's comforter looks like my shoes. Not sure what to make of that remark, either. But I love them!

Craving... Britt's doughnuts! I went for the first time last night and oh my goodness, those were the most delicious donuts I had ever tasted. Nothing like stuffing your face with calories while walking on the boardwalk with friends.
