If you’ve thought that things have been a little quiet over in this neck of the Internet, it’s because grad school started and I have been swamped. Starting from August 27, I had a little over a week of several types of orientations mixed in with classes. I had around 200 pages of reading for the first week of class, and nearly 230 for this week. And as much as this blog and my social media presence means to me, it comes second to my degree.

That being said, I thought I would give you a picture recap of what starting grad school has involved. From homework time to the Boston College campus, this is what my life is now.

 

Iced coffee, check. Lilly, check. Grad school orientation, here I come! #lillypulitzer #buymelilly #ootd

It feels a little weird to be a student at a school that isn’t Vanderbilt, but I think Boston College will do 😉 #bc #bostoncollege #boston

When you have ~200 pages to read before classes even begin, you accept the fact that this is your life now and buckle down. #fivestar #tervis #sharpie #welcometogradschool
