"We grew up together in a sense and transitioned into who we are now." | After graduating from Texas State University in the spring, I made sure to enjoy my last couple of weeks before starting a big girl job, in the "scary" real world. Those last days were truly incredible; I took full advantage of my surroundings, saw my truest friends like crazy and one by one crossed things off a bucket list I had created to do "one last time" before I left San Marvelous. I spent four years in one of the most beautiful college towns I have ever seen, doing incredibly beautiful things. I made sure to float the river, take part in dollar bowling nights, hike Purgatory, shop at the outlets and take day trips to New Braunfels and Gruene. I didn't forget to eat a Tap Room burger, hit up Los Cucos for $2 marg nights, make it out to the Square or miss out on the best breakfast tacos from Casa Maria after a night out with great friends. Sure these all might sound typical, but they all have one thing in common. The people that kept me company throughout each of those experiences. |

One night, during my final semester of the "best four years of my life," some friends and I were up late hanging out. It started as an evening like any other. Nothing spectacular about it, which is probably what sparked our interest to be spontaneous. We started talking about the "what ifs" and looking back at our college career in hopes that we could make these last few weeks last forever. Then, driving to the beach was brought up. At two in the morning. Of course, we didn't weigh the pros and cons, think of our responsibilities or rather think about it at all. Instead, we each agreed to go and found ourselves frantically packing random things in order to make it to the beach in time for sunrise. As a girl, I made sure to pack my bathing suit, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, etc. The boys on the other hand, packed random items under the pressure (one even packed a frozen pizza... obviously that didn't workout). Needless to say, we hopped in the truck and made our way on our impromptu beach adventure. Three or so hours later and singing to old mixed CD's as to not waste our phone batteries, we had arrived. We made it in perfect timing to see the sunrise. IT.WAS.MAGICAL.
With the World Cup and the 4th of July, it seems as if everyone was wearing red, white and blue this summer! People gathered at bars, pools and house parties to celebrate our country. Watch parties brought many together and out of their daily routine. Snapchat stories were taken over with people cheering and yelling as the U.S. kept advancing. We lived and breathed America. I especially got into it more than usual; I wore patriotic dresses to work and high wasted shorts and tanks out. I even had flags on my nails and toes (courtesy of Jamberry). They were fun, eye-catching and a great way for my mom and I to have "girl time" without a trip to the salon.
What are Jamberry nails you ask? Stickers. Well, sort of. They're a fun a way to do your nails without having to wait for them to dry; in fact, no nail polish needed! How do you use them? Easy Peasy!
Told you it was easy!! |
