My plan when I moved here was to get good grades in school, make friends and have a real college life, and find a job. So far I've been able to hold up to one of them. This by far has been one of the hardest things I've ever done. Who would have thought that making friends in college would be so hard. Finding a job is seemingly to be just as hard too. I have turned in my resume and applied to all the places that I can think of. I've even gone back in and talked to all of the managers, but I get the same answer from all of them..."We will get back do you in a few weeks. If not just keep coming back in to remind us."

Love Always

Alright, so you all know that I am at home for the next two ish weeks. Unfortunately I do not have my own computer and my phone doesn't really do well with the internet thing.
That being said. I am not going to be able to post everyday like I had originally had planned on doing. So I am writing and in a journal and taking lots of pictures that will be posted when I get back.

Have a great Spring Break everyone!

Love Always
Courtney

Spring break is almost here and I am heading home for my birthday. My birthday is not usually a time of the year that I particularly enjoy, for the obvious reasons with my Peter Pan view of life, but this year I am very excited. Not only am I coming home but my sister is coming home for the weekend too!! AND my mom WITH my dad are taking me out to dinner at my favorite sushi place! Words can not describe how excited I am about this. I also will be spending a lot of time with my best friend Liz, so be sure to stay turned for the adventures that we have. I decided I am going to try to blog everyday about my adventures that I'm having, included with an outfit of the day picture.  


These are all the clothes that I am bringing, for almost two weeks (I think I did a pretty good job. One carry on bag and I still have room in it) Here is my list:
-3 pairs of pants: boot jeans, black and maroon skinnies
-2 skirts: blue, and black with sparkles
-2 dresses
-1 pair of black leggings
-2 belts: pink bow and leather
-4 shirts: pink lace print tank, over sized baseball T, khaki knit sweater, grey lace corset 
-2 shoes: black booties, nude sparkly heels
>Plus a few workout clothes, a pair of skinny jeans for my mom to sew, and the outfit I'm wearing on the plane

Keep in mind that I am planning on doing some shopping, and by some I mean a lot ... in my mothers closet, my old closet, and a real mall! Yes, I am talking about a place that is three stores high with hundreds of stores filled with beautiful things. Granted most of these things will be way out of my price range but this doesn't mean that I can't go in to touch everything and try them on :) 


Oh I LOOOOOVE the city! Chicago Here I Come!! 


Love Always,
Courtney
