The objective - do not spend!

In light of the fact that I have not posted on here for a while, I thought I would start to use this blog as my public version of my travel journal. A couple months ago, a few of my friends from high school and I booked a flight to Europe! Yay!!

As soon as I saw the message "pack your bags" everything became real! I have been planning this trip since I first walked into University. Having my life planned to a T I knew that the day I graduated I wanted to book a trip to Europe, learn the Italian language and study culinary while I was there. By the time graduation day finally came, I realized that I have no idea what I want to do with my life. With everything in my mind changed, one thing stayed the same, and that was the fact that my butt was going to be in Europe no matter what! 

After booking my flight, all my money and attention was based on what I will need for Europe. Shopping became a game where the objective was to only purchase what could fit in a backpack. Of course with my addiction and the fact that I have like 15 closets.. this simple task became much more complicated. It is now May 27th and I'll be in the air as of August 25th, so from here on out it is SAVE SAVE SAVE.... we'll see how this goes. 

Snow!

We finally got our first big snow fall last night! I was so excited.. it is actually the most gorgeous thing to see. There were a whole bunch of kids throwing snowballs and attempting to toboggan down the hills with the little snow that was on the ground. 

I ended up spending the entire night in the library with my roommate which was a bummer (I would have way rather been playing in the snow) but it was so necessary! We got loads of work done.

 

We were inside for 3 hours and when we went to go back to the library this is what we saw! So exciting

 My roommate going hard cleaning the snow from the car while I sit toasty warm inside!

We were at the library for so long we started going crazy and decided to send my cousin pictures of us making silly faces. By the time we left it was 1am and it was so light outside we were shocked! There was pink in the sky and we thought our phones were wrong. It seriously looked like the sun was about to rise!

This morning I was woken up by my parents who came up to drop off a few things and take me out to breakfast! It was delicious, but I still can't move! Ate way too much! On top of a lovely breakfast I came back to my house only to realize it was December 1st, meaning I could finally dive into my Lindt advent calendar! I couldn't be more excited and happy! I absolutely love Christmas time! Now back to the books I go :(
