So I get really really bad at this blogging thing when school picks back up.
Sorry, but I’m also not so sorry.
You see, last year school kinda took over my life. Studying everyday, all day was nothing out of the usual.
Movie on Friday night? Nope, I have an Anatomy exam. Spontaneous trip to IHOP? Sorry, BioChem is killing me.
While I got the grades, I also felt less happy towards the end of last year. This year, things have been different and I can’t say I mind one bit 
I no longer spend the days studying away, rather catching up with old friends at a brand new dining hall. P.S If you haven’t heard, Virginia Tech placed in the top three for epic food and they aren’t lying! Regardless, I have just been enjoying the beauty my school has to offer. One thing that is completely worth celebrating is my very best friends birthday. More specifically, her 21st.
While I don’t have many pictures of the food, we certainly did have a blast and tried so many new foods & places. I may or may not be obsessed with buckwheat cinnamon waffles (where have they been all my life!?) The highlight for me was probably breakfast Saturday morning
Lox is probably my most favorite entrees of them all. And when a place has homemade bagels, well thats just fabulous.
So here is to you best friend/twin/roommate – I hope this year is filled with everything you’ve been working for. Love you to death. Make me more waffles 
I hear what your saying about school! From friends-work-studying it just gets so busy!
totally understand the school thing!
cute picture
Have a great time in school! I’m jealous
Thus place I loved in Asheville did homemade bagels with goat cheese and lox and it was so fricking delicious.
I love roomies. They (normally) turn out to the the best friends. I totally get needing a break during school. I think I posted twice the entire 2.5 months of my last quarter before graduation. Take the time you need. School is super important.
Glad to read the update! Happy 21st to your roomate!
homemade bagels are the best!! It can be hard to keep up with blogging when you have other priorities!! But It’s nice for the update and too see what you have been up to!! Good luck with everything you got goin on:)
ahh the homemade waffles sound amazing!! buckwheat is such a great flavor!
I hope you’ve been living it up in college this year, you only get one shot, so make each day great!!
xoxo!
Aww, happy birthday to her! So glad you guys had fun!
Oh to be 21 again! Enjoy the college life! My daughter is a freshman in college and she loves it. That just totally made me sound old.
Homemade bagels are the best!
Ah, I miss college. Soak it all in while you can! Then remember there’s always grad school.
I was the same way in college, especially my last 1.5 years. I started putting school and studying above everything else and my social life suffered. Looking back, I regret this so much and wish I could take it back
I’m so happy you realized the need for balance before it was too late! Make the most of your time in school!
Homemade bagels?! YUM! Don’t feel bad about not blogging as much… it’s college and we deserve to experience it!
Mmm, homemade bagel? Sounds good to me!
I’m glad to hear that you’re starting to be able to balance school with everything else. I know it can be tough.
So jealous of your undergrad status! I miss college so much. Biochem nearly killed me also…what is it about that class? Ugh, so insanely difficult!
Sorry school is so stressful. but I’m sure you are rockin it! Happy 21st to your friend!
I love smoked salmon, that breakfast must have been delicious especially with homemade bagels!
Thank you Kailey! I love you and cannot express how grateful I am for this past weekend! Buckwheat waffles for you any time!
Love your approach to school this year! I graduated 3 years ago so trust me when I say that a few years down the line, the memories with friends is what you will remember..not the hours you spent studying! I’m with you lox…is there anything better than smoked salmon with cream cheese and fresh bagels….oh yes, all that with a side of coffee
!
I’m so glad you’re taking time to enjoy the college experience this semester, Kailey! These years truly are some of the best. It’s not the studying you’ll remember (all of those hours mush together), but the spontaneous IHOP trips and movie nights.
Happy Birthday to your best friend! It sounds like you had a blast celebrating this weekend! <3
oh and p.s. I ate smoked salmon for brunch today too—amazing!
Happy birthday to your roommate!!
It’s great that you have more of a balance now and are enjoying life
Wish I had done more of that in college!
Wooo! I just celebrated one of my friend’s 21st’s as well.. And there are two more to come! Having fun celebrating birthdays is definitely better than studying.
Woot, happy birthday to your friend, a rather fun birthday for sure
School is meant to be enjoyed and also getting work done, do what you want to girl!
Happy 21st to your friend! That seems like ages ago for me!!
Breakfast looked delicious, especially the homemade bagel!
School is meant to be enjoyed! Glad you are having fun!
Buckwheat cinnamon waffles sounds awesome! I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying life and taking time to have fun. P.S. Isn’t junior year the best? I love all the 21st birthday celebrations!
yay for roomie fun, I have been missing you in the blog world. I know school has been crazy but glad to have you check in!
