everchic: the one with everything

hey every one!

sorry for my unintentional hiatus, when I arrived back in LA after New York, everything happened at once- school was overwhelming.

so here's some photo recap:
Carly & I went to LACMA to view the DVF Journey of a Dress Exhibit

Molly Kayla and I visited Gladstones in Malibu for dinner one Friday evening- it was right on the beach and we were able to catch the sunset:

But school was never far off. Below is a picture of my Critical Concepts Final. We had to create a pop-up-shop for Banana Republic based on different places around the world.

And before I hopped back on a plane to Brownsville- I brought some copies of the Mode Magazine to give to family & friends.

And with my 3rd quarter at FIDM over, I'm now officially a sophomore in college, and have one year left for my Associates in Visual Communications.

I've learned so much, and met so many incredible people since I started FIDM, and I can truly say that I am so happy.

Oh! Another milestone occoured since my last post! I've moved!

Same building, just a few floors up. I moved out of Student Housing, and moved into an apartment independently with two of my best friends, Molly and Kayla.

We moved all of our belongings in 7 hours, all by ourselves. Mind you- this includes several pieces of furniture and over 200 pairs of shoes combined. Not that we counted or anything...

The next day, we put together several pieces of Ikea furniture, which is, as anyone would tell you, the true test of friendship.

And its not like we did that the weekend of Finals or anything.

I don't have any good pictures yet, but I'll get some soon!

Here are some things I learned:

1. Remember where you put everything to make coffee the next morning. I didn't.

2. Remember where you put your laptop charger. I didn't.

3. The big blue reusable bag from Ikea is the best 60 cents you ever spend.

4. You're going to be sore. It's inevitable.

5. Injuries and bruises will happen- be prepared.

I also lived through my first earthquake!

It was 6am on a Monday morning- neither Molly or I had a morning class- and it felt like someone was shaking my mattress.

Molly and I groggily asked each other, "Did you feel that?"

After taking to twitter, I confirmed that it was in fact an earthquake, and we didn't just share a dream.

We walked through the apartment to see if everything was okay, then we went straight back to sleep.

Update: I've decided that airplane turbulence in the air is like an earthquake on land. Just incase you were wondering.

Anyways, one 5am wakeup call and two flights later, I was home. I origionally didn't plan on going home until summer, as I wanted to spend my spring break in Los Angeles. After over nine months of living in LA, I've only ever been here while in school.

So I compromised, I went home for half of my break.

I was able to do some of my favorite things to do while in Brownsville: see my family and eat.
