My clock is broken. The hands keep whirring and whirring, round and round, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. Ok...that's not true. That's not true for two reasons 1.) I don't own a clock with hands. I have this crochet one, but other than that I'm all digital. 2.) I'll be the first one to admit that my skills of reading a clock quickly are not up to snuff. Give me ten minutes and I'll give you the time. ;-)
Apparently my time spent studying in college has been somewhat of a waste. As much as I would like to slow down time before graduation and the big, scary future that lies beyond May 12, my studies of Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen have been little help in the time machine invention department. Ah well. I guess all I can do now is attempt to capture the moments I have left. The little moments between the stress, like my socks on sick days, books, notes, and sleepy eyes. The day I wore my typewriter shirt and how I like to doodle what's on my shirt during class. This is sometimes awkward as I look down and pull at my shirt to get a better look at the design while my classmates stare at me sideways and wonder if I'm trying to swat at a bug or if I'm just that strange.
I love all of these photographs where do you get your awesome socks from?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I actually got both pairs (and the ones in my header) during an Anthropologie sale on the same day!
DeleteTime does fly, doesn't it? Especially when the semester has started again and you seem to be moving from one assignment to the next. Try not to worry too much about what will happen after graduation. Things have a tendency of always working themselves out - even though sometimes in the strangest ways. And I consider myself the perfect example of that. When I graduated from uni in Belgium 2.5 years ago, not having any idea of what was next frightened me so much! Little did I know that that 2.5 years later I would be starting my last year of a second undergrad degree in Australia, being happier than I had ever been. So try not to worry, just enjoy! But it seems like you're on the right track ;-)
ReplyDeleteThings do work out. I need to remind myself of that daily. :-) Thanks so much for sharing!
Deleteseeing your updates on instagram always puts a smile on my face, and so does seeing all these lovely pictures in one post. :)
ReplyDeleteYou photos and thoughts are so beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI love that type writer shirt. Love it love it!!
ReplyDeleteWren
i <3 you and your beautiful instagram photos..always.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about it being a useless degree, I wish I had studied English lit! I graduated in Film and Media thinking it'd be more 'practical' than literature and when I realised what a mistake that was it was too late to transfer to another course. I think I would have learnt a lot more in a more academic and sound subject such as English lit, but oh well. A year and a half after graduation I have a decent job and I am slowly realising that I might have actually learnt something after all (for instance, I am the techie one at the office and I can work in teams). Plus when I get home I get to read as much as I want so it all sorts itself out in the end, don't worry about it :)
ReplyDeletecute bits and pieces
ReplyDeleteDid you get a haircut? BC it's pretty darn cute!! I completely understand the stress of reaching your graduation and not being sure of the future, I was the same way last year, just take this time to enjoy the present. (I'm so terrible at that, always looking ahead.) And get excited, no more school means so much more time for reading for pleasure and crafting! (That always puts a smile on my face.)
ReplyDeleteI love your clothes! So jealous of your closet :) Where did you get your cute typewriter shirt?
ReplyDeleteI think a big part of going to university is learning how to learn. There are many things I didn't know upon leaving, but I usually have no problem figuring out things because of what I learned. If you have everything figured out when you graduate, I think you'll be the first one ever in the history of mankind.
ReplyDeleteI love how you always have the most amazing socks.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and am wishing you all the best now and in the future!
ReplyDeletewow, your socks ARE amazing!

I love your dotted socks and that skirt!
ReplyDeleteI wish i could slow down time too! exams and deadlines coming too soon!
ReplyDeleteI find it hard splitting time between study and creating, if i dont create enough i feel empty and cant focus.

I am just starting out with college but I too wish I could slow time down.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have that same ring that you are wearing in one of your photos only my ring is blue.
Good luck with your last semester in college.
Okay, I admit, I freaked out a little bit because at first I thought that photo of the crochet-edged heart was of a woman carrying a HUGE crochet-edged heart. I was imagining that it was a kite or some sort of really awesome valentine. Then I noticed the needle and felt a little silly :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. What's your instagram name? I'd love to follow you!
I would freak out too!!! I wish that was the cover of the Anthropologie magazine. Haha!
DeleteMy instagram name is = sheepishknitcrochet :-)
I thought that too for a second!! haha glad I wasn't the only one!
DeleteAnd Meredith, I graduated a few months ago and was freaking out a bit just like you, and yes I'm not gonna lie it was hard the first month or so, but it works out! Everything works out in the end because it has to! And if it hasn't, it's not the end :) xxx
Ha ha, I thought exactly the same too! It's a great pic by the way! And I LOVE your t-shirt, skirt and socks. Where did you get them from?
DeleteIt seems a long time ago since I graduated but I remember feeling exactly the same. I think it's a completely natural feeling and actually it's good because it shows you're prepared for the unexpected. If your blog is anything to go by, then I think you've got a wonderfully exciting future ahead of you!
Best of luck!
Jo :-)
That ice cream looks so good.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh! awesome shirt! very pretty post :)
ReplyDeleteI was gonna ask about the socks too, haha.
ReplyDeleteAw!! I love all of your photography! <3 So pretty.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finishing the last of the school year - this is my senior year of high school, so I sorta understand how you feel. ;)
