Simple Pleasures

listening to this song from the Beautiful Creatures trailer,

spending lots of time reading in bed,

getting back into the groove of exercising and eating healthy,

taking pictures everyday for the photo a day challenge,

reading a pile of magazines on a sunny day,

my dad buying me sparkly flats,

indulging in Oreos and loving every minute of it,

also loving this cool song,

doing a fun DIY for my sister,

&

laughing after finding a copy of The Indy's Naked Issue.
Yep, my old college (Purchase College) came out
with a yearly issue where people posed completely naked!

What are your simple pleasures lately?

Simple Pleasures

singing in the car on my way to school and not caring if people see me,

having classes in the evening = sleeping in,

a cool new song on repeat,

collecting tons of outfit inspiration on Pinterest (seriously, what did I do in spare time before?),

buying my new school bag,

a peaceful half hour before class spent reading or staring out the window or daydreaming,

 finally getting into the groove of editing my novel,

coming up with ideas for Inspired By posts (they're my favorite to put together),

crossing things off my 23 Before 24 list,

getting a Target giftcard in the mail from MyPoints,

&

seeing friends from school again (yay Rachel!).

Views from School

I feel incredibly lucky that I attend grad school in the best city in the world (though I might be biased since I grew up only thirty minutes from New York City). I go to City College of New York, or CCNY, in Hamilton Heights. The only downside is that I have to drive in and its getting rather expensive!

Anyway, the view from my school (since it's higher on a hill) and the buildings themselves are magnificent. Just take a look for yourself, and have a nice Monday!

P.S. -- Did you see The Hunger Games?! I thought it was so moving, and the lack of music at times was very emotionally effective and let the actors shine. Sometimes when I read a book and it's turned into a movie, I find many things that they changed that I don't like, but not this adaptation! If you haven't seen it yet, do! You won't regret it!
