Mexico Travel

Postcards from // Cancun

March 18, 2015

Last week I spent spring break in Cancun with some of my closest friends. Apparently I’ve been to Mexico before but I was so young that I can’t even remember it so it was like traveling to a new country for the first time. Granted we mostly just sat by the pool and didn’t really get a feel for local life or do any of the many activities available (like swimming with whale sharks!!), but the week of sunshine was much needed after the cold winter we’ve been experiencing in North Carolina.

Here are some of the pictures I took over our five day vacation. I’m getting a little nostalgic looking back over them and it’s making me want to hop back on a plane to the tropics.

Birthday Celebrations

March 2, 2015

Last Sunday we went downtown to celebrate one of my closest friend’s 22nd birthday. Granted her birthday was actually on Monday but, you know, we’re all believers of the whole “birthday week.”

We ate at a restaurant that’s a favorite of ours, Jeffrey Adams, which I’ve eaten at a few times already this semester. Per usual I ordered the lobster mac n’ cheese and we all split a pitcher of pomegranate sangria. Luckily I don’t have class on Mondays so I didn’t have to worry about getting up early or anything. We also took a TON of pictures because we all love to pose and pretend like we’re much more popular on Facebook than we actually are (which is the whole point of Facebook… right??). No pictures, however, were taken while we were eating because even as much as I love my camera, a girl has to have her priorities.

Snow Day

February 25, 2015

Last week we had what every college student dreams about during the winter–a snow day. And the best part is that Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days of the week so I got to relax and hang out with my friends instead of being stuck in class, watching the snow fall. So Tuesday morning my roommate and I dragged ourselves out of bed to play in the snow and meet our other friends for brunch.

Rock Around the Clock

February 17, 2015

One of the major perks of being involved in Greek life is having date functions throughout the year. Last Friday my sorority hosted our 50’s themed function, Rock Around the Clock, at a banquet hall on campus. Although dancing is always tons of fun, the best part for me is getting to see some of my closest friends and all hang out with them and our dates. As my friends can testify to, I like to think of myself as a bit of a social butterfly so I made sure to say hello to everyone and take photos with my friends.

Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens

January 26, 2015

When I was in Florida just before the new year, my dad let me have free-reign on whatever I wanted to do. We used to go to the Morikami Japanese Gardens a lot when I was younger (it’s a great place to take kids!) but I hadn’t been in a few years, so I was excited to go back again. I’m not sure how excited my dad actually was but he tagged along without complaint.

Life is a Journey: My Top 5 Moments from this Week

January 4, 2015

I totally forgot to post one of these last weeks, what with Christmas celebrations and getting ready for my trip to South Florida, the week came and went. But I’m back in full force this week and I’m happy to announce that the first week of 2015 has been filled with laughs and sunshine for me! I only got to spend three and a half days in Florida but I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to visit my childhood stomping grounds and we made sure to keep busy while down there.
