Hey there! I've made the switch to a new blog, All Grace Grows. If you've enjoyed what you've read here, head on over there for more posts from me! Hope to see you there.  :)

An (Insta)nt in Time: October

This semester is just absolutely flying by, I hardly know where my time is going. In just a few (hopefully) short days, I will be heading home for Thanksgiving break. An entire week of no classes, spent at home with my cat and my family. It is much needed before the final two weeks of the semester. To get me through this week, I thought I'd take a look back at October, while it was already a few weeks ago, it was a pretty jam-packed and good month.

An (Insta)nt in Time: September

Getting back into the swing of college life has caused for a hectic month. So, here we are, almost done with October and I'm just getting to my September Instagram post... Let's just get into it, here is a peak into my life in the month of September, through an Instagram filter.

An (Insta)nt in Time: August

August was a busy month for me. It was full of visiting family, moving back to school, and participating in formal recruitment for my sorority. This is a new series I'm starting, a monthly glance into the moments I found beautiful or important enough to Instagram. Enjoy!

The Final Days

And so, before I knew it, six months abroad were over and it was time for me to pack up the life I had created in Europe and board my plane home. My last few days in Paris were quite bittersweet.

Amsterdam

Amsterdam had been one of the top cities on the list of those I wanted to visit in my time abroad but I hadn't been able to figure out how to fit it in until my last week abroad. Ceci and I were the last two remaining who hadn't yet visited so we bit the bullet and bought our tickets and planned a quick, two-day trip to Amsterdam!

A Night At The Opera

Those of us remaining in Paris for the last two weeks of June got all dressed up and went out for a night at the opera. This ended up being one of my favorite things I did while in Paris!

The Star of Paris

I had seen the Arc de Triomphe many times throughout the months I lived in Paris, visiting with friends or just passing it by, but I had never made my way to the top until my last week. Here's a few pictures I snapped while finally climbing to the top.

A Walk About Paris

I spent my last two weeks in Paris visiting places I had somehow not yet had a chance to visit, as well as a few of my favorite spots around the city. It was really nice to be able to explore the city without worrying about deadlines, class, or work. Here's a peak into a few of my adventures.

Monkey Crashers

On the group's last day in Paris, we were told about an awesome event that was going to happen that evening. Basically a group of "Monkey Crashers," representing the whiskey brand Monkey Shoulder, crash various bars and clubs around Paris, taking control of the place for an hour, playing music, games, and serving free drinks. When we heard about this, we knew we couldn't resist!
