The Little Things

So this is the last The Little Things of 2015! I've enjoyed writing this feature for the past few months because it's made me take more pictures (which I really enjoy going back through when I'm stuck in the car or waiting for an appointment). I started this back in the fall because I was going through a rough patch and needed to remind myself of the little things that make me happy. It definitely worked and I'm considering keeping it going in 2015! What do you guys think: should I continue the Little Things into the new year?

Mum made me my favorite British food:
a baked potato with chili 

Baking with the baby sis 

Wrapped all my presents! 

Christmas Eve with my sister and goddaughter 

Presents from Santa! 

Mom and Dad bought me a 3 DVD set
that includes Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sabrina,
and Roman Holiday!

New glasses! #obsessed

The Little Things

This was the first part of exam week(s), so the Little Things are even more important than normal because I'm stressed out of my mind. I was lucky enough to get to go home on Saturday to see my sister dance in a local Christmas parade, which was a much needed break. How are you surviving finals?

My school has a Luminaries celebration every year

We even got a photo with Santa! 

A much needed study break of macaroons and
Sprinkle of Glitter videos 

At my school's president's house for a
Christmas party 

My superlative from the newspaper staff
was fairly perfect #guiltyascharged 

One final round of Bonnie & Clyde paper editing,
complete with tea and macaroons

sister's Christmas parade

How was your Thanksgiving? I had a fantastic week at home and can't believe that I only have 9 days left at school! 

Important reading

These cat shoes immediately made me think
of Taylor Swift 

Yummy lunch at the Greek restaurant
in the mall food court 

Lush finally got their Christmas
bath bombs in!

My first Chick-Fil-A
peppermint milkshake of the season! 

I got Zoe Sugg's book in the
mail! It's sooo good thus far.

The whole family freaked out when we saw
Norm Lewis on the Macy's Parade coverage! 

Yummy Thanksgiving dinner 

We had a little butter turkey!

All the group back together! (Minus Alex) 

Tree decorating with hors d'oeuvres is my favorite
Thanksgiving tradition

Another week gone means another week closer to Thanksgiving break and I can't be more excited. 

9 a.m. work is much easier with tea and a bagel

Torrance Coombs favoriting my tweet
about donuts? Perfection. 

I went to the formal for my friend's service fraternity
Saturday night and enjoyed getting to dress up despite the cold.

Of course, silly pictures ensued.

Steak & Shake runs at midnight are the best. But when
it's peppermint milkshake season, they're even better.

Looking over my pictures from the last week, I was shocked to find how few photos I had taken. I guess I was too busy even to take pictures!

I'm not going to lie: I freaked out when the
editor of Seventeen magazine replied to my tweet

I finally tried something new at Argo! Their tomato quiche
was very yummy...or maybe I was just happy from getting
into St Andrews? 

My mom and little sister came to visit for the day on Wednesday;
I was so happy to see my two favorite people! 

Starbucks got a Snapchat and it's
everything I could have hoped for

I'm still laughing at my friends' order at
Steak & Shake; it was so long we had to write it down!

The Little Things

This past week has been crazy between computer issues, an overwhelming amount of schoolwork, and just too many things to do! After a week of hard work, it was so great to see my parents for lunch yesterday even if it was just for a few hours. One thing I love about writing "The Little Things" is that it forces me to think about all of the good things that have happened in the past week, even if they're just small things that made me smile.

I loved getting to vote for one of my favorite
actors, Torrance Coombs 

I told myself I wasn't going to include any more Argo photos,
but I had a chocolate croissant right out of the oven

When your bestie brings you a Krispy Kreme
donut, you know she's a keeper  

I spent a lot of time filming for a communications
project this weekend, including getting up Saturday
morning to film sunrise. I was just happy to be doing
it with a good friend, MaryClaire! 

The dining hall had scones so I took some and
ate them with clotted cream while reading Bonnie &
Clyde biographies 

I was so happy to get to see this munchkin  

IHOP is my favorite and IHOP with the little sister is even better!

The Little Things

This past week was a big week for me! I was home for fall break on Monday and Tuesday. I got to go shopping with two of my favorite girls from Elon who also happened to be in the same place for fall break. Then it was back to school for Homecoming weekend! What little things did you love this past week?

Mall shopping with Bethany and Sarah 

Real friends try on fun hats together

I used a Lush bath bomb for the first
time and it was perfect 

My Miss Saigon CD finally came in the mail
and it's absolute perfection 

A nice morning break at Argo Tea 

My Pointless Book and Zoella Beauty lotion because
 I love Alfie Deyes and Zoe Sugg way too much! 

Homecoming events where you get to selfie with
the President of your school? #perfect #HeadPhoenix 

Lauren and I skipped the Homecoming tailgate to
go to Panera for lunch and bagels! 

Kristen and I weren't sure how we felt about the
Homecoming concert....Ludacris #whateven

I spent six hours studying at Oak House on Sunday #braindead 

Sunday night's episode of Once Upon a Time was everything
I'd ever dreamed of #CaptainSwan
