a need. for sure

both of these beautiful clutches are from emersonmade and i pretty  much have to have them.  They are perfect! flowers and adorable details are a must right now in my life! either would be the perfect addition to my spring wardrobe! 

2nd award

so lots going on! today has truly been a busy day!

so anyways an update on the outfit... i did steal my friends camera today and took a pic of my feet

then tonight since i am just totally self absorbed, i made my dad take a picture of me while i stopped by for a hot second

So back to reality. i ate dinner/am eating dinner right now 9:41 p.m. wow, so much for the no eating after 9:00 p.m. rule... i am also eating typical college kid food... ramen... and i love it!

my favorite kind of ramen is the creamy chicken kind. i don't like it just any way though.  i like it when there is hardly any water in it so the noodles are less soupy...

what about y'all? favorite kind of ramen noodles?

 Jennifer gave me my second award!

2. Pass the award on to approximately 15 other blogs that you recently discovered, and think are great!

3. Contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

Today I am rocking a shirt from a designer consignment shop called Dress. the shirt is a grey/silver silk by some designer named Walter. Walter designed a $165 (beautiful, yet overpriced) shirt which I purchased yesterday for $70.03 after tax.  This is by far the most expensive shirt i have ever bought, yet i love it. and i am glad for my purchase. Along with this shirt, i am wearing my dark denim skinny jeans with black flats that have gigantic bows on them.... i will admit that i am a sucker for shoes!

Today between classes I had some time to sit in what we call the Court of Carolina's on State's campus.  IF you know naything about NC State, it is known for the ugly brick everywhere.  But I still stand by the fact that the oldest part of campus, surrounding the Court of Carolina's is beautiful.  I love sitting there on the hill basking in the sun, hoping someone comments on my new shirt. It is so warm here that i was able to shed my shoes and enjoy the sun, and with the lighting, i am sure i could have gotten a few real cute pictures of my toes and adorable shoes! but until then...

this is the court of carolinas. I was lying in front of that beautiful building called the 1911 building.

so this morning was the first day of classes

i tried so hard to be excited for my 9:10 which i am not even enrolled in yet! 

so this morning was hard, especially when i realized there is a chance i won't even need that class. bummer.

then i was thinking about how much i love being on campus.  

one of my most favorite things, although odd, is being on campus in the morning when no one else is really around.

it is nice to be here and breathe without anyone really getting in your way running to class.

while i was thinking, i was completely humbled by this guy

i have seen him before but never really realized how strong of a person he was

i have never met him before or spoken to him, let alone even gotten the courage to say good morning

but i remember because i see him.

the hard thing is that he would never recognize me because he doesn't see

he is blind.

our school is known for its non-handicap-accessible-ness.

this man is blind and uses a walking stick to get around.

this morning i watched in aw as he walked down stairs without a hitch

then he used his walking stick to move up the side walk.

his stick followed the grain of the brick on the side

when his phone rang he detoured to the wall and answered it

i take for granted being able to recognize someone in order to be able to say good morning

i also take for granted being able to watch where i am walking without worrying about walking into things

i also take for grated being able to look at my phone to see who is calling...

most of all i take for granted the beauty around me, of the earth in nature, the uniqueness of individuals walking all around,

this unknown man inspired me today

inspired me to notice the little things that i don't notice every day...the beauty of this world we live in

i hope i don't forget this feeling i have because it is extremely humbling

we need to thank the Lord each and every day for the simplest things... *
