Currently// October

SkylarOctober 7, 2015

Good morning! Today I’m linking up with In Residence and Gold and Bloom for the October edition of currently to share what I have been eating, exploring, wearing, admiring and collecting lately.

Eating// I’ve been eating lots of protein, dairy and coffee (I guess that’s drinking, but whatevs). I’ve changed my diet up a bit and am eating a lot more than I used to. Mostly more protein that comes in the form of eggs, greek yogurt, meat, quest bars, and milk. Coffee has been a must to wake me up due to my weird class/work schedule.

Exploring// Moving to a new town means I’m kind of always exploring whether I’m aware of it or not. Finding new shortcuts to campus. New places to eat at and new places for coffee. New places to take photos at. New stores for clothes. New buildings on campus. Basically since everything around me is somewhat new that automatically means I’m “exploring”

Wearing// I’m in love with black and white stripe tops. And of course err’thang gold. When I’m not trying to look cute, an over-sized t-shirt is usually my top of choice. The over-sized t-shirts with nike shorts is a trend here and I’m okay with it. They’re so comfy and roomy! 

Admiring// I’m constantly admiring the work of photographers from weddings to portrait sessions. My Instagram and Facebook feed is filled with posts from photographers. The work people do blows me away daily. It’s motivates and inspires me to pursue that line of work. 

Collecting// I feel like I’m starting a collection of academic journal articles. I spend a good $5 a week on printing journal articles for my grad school class readings. I have a nice stack of print outs and we’re only halfway done with the semester. I know y’all are so jealous about this one. 

Your turn!

    That gold thermos is so adorable! Love it. Stripes are always a huge trend for me, and comfort is always key. I just got done eating a breakfast burrito!

    Thanks for sharing 🙂

    Love your coffee mug! I can’t go a day without coffee anymore. Ha ha, and I always find I eat more whenever October roles around.

    I love that we’re both exploring our new cities! Moving can be so stressful it’s nice when things calm down and you get to enjoy the new place 🙂

      Yes now that I’ve been able to settle and find my way around town things have been a lot less stressful!

    Is it weird that I miss having access to my university library and the journals and articles?

      Haha I will say it’s not something I’ve heard someone say before, but it really is a neat resource college students have!

    There’s definitely something exciting (yet terrifying?!) about exploring a new city! It’s great once it finally feels like you really know the area though.

      Yes now that I know my way around town, it’s such a relief to not have to stress over directions!

    You should make sure to organize those journal articles as you go! That way you’re not struggling right before an exam or paper. I used Zotero in college!

      Ooh that’s such a great idea. I’ve never heard of Zotero, but I’ll have to look it up!

    Black and white stripes and gold! Yes, please! Comfy clothes are my favorite, too. I’m pretty sure we must have the same style. Haha.

    Thanks for linking up!
