Weekend Update: BIRTHDAY BASH

Disclaimer: I should've posted this about a month ago, but sometimes life gets in the way. Also the Weekend Update is coming on a Thursday. This is just how life is working right now y'all.

I should really try staying a whole weekend in Baton Rouge for once. Oh wait, that's what I'm trying out right now. I'll let y'all know how this goes. So far it includes making myself Tex Mex Migas (I've linked the recipe please try it out they are DIVINE), and cleaning my apartment. Nothing too crazy, but I think that's what I need after adventuring all over the place for the past month. I'm serious y'all, I looked back in my calendar and I haven't spent a weekend in BR in over a month! I swear I'm trying to love it. It's not my fault NOLA keeps calling my name.

Anyway, back to my point, let's look back at Birthday Weekend. Yes the italics are necessary, it's a fancy event, duh.

Weekend Update: How to Avoid Any Lingering Responsibilities

Before you do anything else go ahead and throw yourself a little party. You made it through Monday, and that's a cause for celebration.

See it's my celebration dance!

I might be over exaggerating, but Monday is. the. worst. It's especially the worst when you have the beginning of the semester (did I mention that starts Wednesday) staring you directly in the eyes.

Let's just say that I'm coping with the start of the semester very well. And by that I mean I threw all of my money at a weekend getaway to New Orleans and never looked back.

Here's a look:

Weekend Update: Football What Are You Doing?!

Ladies and gents we survived another week. Take a second to pat yourself on the back, you made it. 

Let's look at the week in photos: 

GRUB. GRUB. GRUB. GRUB. That's really all I have for this. I dressed up like Misty Day from AHS and did a lot of spinning around in my flowy dress. Everyone understood my costume and that was just the icing on top of the cake. 

LSU v. BAMA: The Road Trip of a Lifetime

Some things you check off your bucket list, and some stones are left unturned. I went to an LSU/Alabama game recently (bucket list), but left Tuscaloosa with a fifth consecutive loss to Bama, we'll have to turn over that stone another day. 

It can be blamed on so many different things. My personal favorite is the curse against red teams, although if that had any truth to it we would be in some serious trouble. Regardless of the loss, and the plethora of Bama fans, we had an unforgettable weekend with some pretty rad friends. I don't think you could plan a better reunion than this.

So let's get started, I've got plenty of people to introduce you to: 

Weekend Update: Gamedays and Galas

Y'all Adele put out her first new single in three years today! Go check it out here. I'm not gonna lie, it's been on repeat all morning for me. Happy Friday! As you can see, the Weekend Update is coming to you on the Friday before my next weekend is set to start.... That's just how much I have my life together right now. It's all good though, fall break is right around the corner, and midterms are almost over. So grab your cup of coffee and enjoy your Friday morning before the rest of this weekend gets too crazy.

A look at last weekend:


It was a weekend that we'll never forget. Seriously y'all, my voice is still recovering. LSU BEAT THE GATORS!!!!!! I'm so freakin' stoked to be attending this school when the football team is flipping fantastic! Did I mention that I'm excited? I mean if you couldn't tell here's a picture of just how excited I was, featured on the one and only ESPN. 

Leonard had just scored right in front of me, and I don't think there's anything y'all could've done to get me to calm down #noshame. 

Weekend Update: Jazzy Sunday

Midterms stressing you out? Yeah me too. Why do you think I'm writing this? If you guessed "to avoid all life responsibilities" you are 100% correct. Welcome to the little corner of paradise that doesn't require you to make a bajillion flashcards or turn out a paper. Welcome, to the land of procrastination.

I was well aware of how stressful midterms could be, so to prepare myself I de-stressed ahead of time. Or at least that's how I justified running downtown to enjoy a jazz concert. Does the reason really matter?

Weekend Update: A Bittersweet BIG Weekend

It's been a crazy weekend full of football games, birthday parties, and Big Little Reveals. Another weekend in the books, and it didn't dare to disappoint.

Unfortunately for this college town we got stuck with a day game. Fortunately for this college girl it gave me an excuse to go out for brunch (although really it doesn't take much to motivate me to get brunch let's be real).

Below I have featured the best photography to ever hit the fashion world. Behold, the mirror selfie. Pay close attention and you'll notice my phone being held together by Saran Wrap. Did I mention it's been an eventful week? Don't worry I'll be welcoming a new phone to the family soon and I'm sure I'll dedicate an entire post to its beautifulness.

My fashionableness consisting of the only gold tank I own and a really really old necklace: think middle school era guys. Saran wrap accessories courtesy of my kitchen.

Meet Sean. Sean's my roommate and the kind of dedicated friend that will join you in waiting 3+ hours for a football game so that you can get AMAZING seats, but will also join you in leaving the game early because you might actually pass out from the heat. Oh, and she'll be sure to go on that adventure to the Dairy Queen across town, because the last time y'all both had Dairy Queen you were high school students. It's got to be different in college. Is that freedom I taste?

We got bored while waiting and decided to climb to the top of the stadium, here's a warped view of the breathtaking experience (literally, I was out of breath, someone should have warned me those steps were steep).

Sunday morning was filled with lots and lots and lots of aloe vera. I'm still feeling the pain from this sunburn y'all, it's bad. Stay inside kids.
