this is the end
This month of May has been crazy to say the least, all filled with many moments of realization and acceptance that I was ready for the college chapter of my life to close. TBH I never thought that I would be ready. A few weeks ago, I couldn't bare the thought of ending school, but now I'm completely find with it.
Of course I will miss going out on Tuesdays, the late night chapter meetings, buying dresses for formal, or even grabbing coffee on campus--the list goes on and on. These are my favorite memories, and maybe I'm okay with leaving because it was so great.
I moved to LA when I was 18, and now at 21 I find myself a completely different person. So much of life has changed, but as cheesy as it is: change is inevitable and life moves on. I can't help but feel anxious about what's to come next (this is the first time where I truly don't know what's next), but I'm also excited for what time will hold. I've learned that it's all about acceptance and building myself back up after feeling like I have nothing next.
I graduated college two days ago... insanity. Time moves too fast and all I want to do is go to SoulCycle and forget about everything.
Here's a collection of my favorite photos from the past week surrounding grad.
I am beyond thankful for all the love: cards, flowers, and additions to my closet. Above is my bedside table looking lovely. The candle above is diptyque, Gucci box holding my new disco (!!) and a wrapped up Goyard tote. The cute card is from Hallmark.
Above: Champagne showers above with BFF Emily. I met Emily because we were in the same sorority. We're both matching, I'm in Zara and Stuart Weitzman, she is in Lily Pulitzer with Valentino.
Below: A snapshot from one of the most flattering photo booths of all time, thanks MirMir for the nice blur.
Below: And lastly, here's one of my favorite pics that has come from college. A group of the best girls out there, thanks to my sorority, Pi Beta Phi, for everything they've done for me. These girls are literally the best.
So long, college. New chapters of still staying chic ahead.
XOXO
