how does one pack up one's own life?

This is half of my closet. Only half. And somehow I have to bring it all to college in two days and jam everything into a cramped dorm closet. I'm told that I need to choose, choose what articles I find most important, most neccessary for my survival at school. 

But how does one choose? I love every single item of clothing that hangs from this closet. That's why I have these pieces! Because I love them so! 

Packing in general is very stressful.

Friday, I'm In Love: University of Southern California

Me and a fellow future Trojan fighting on for College T-Shirt Day

Today was "College T-Shirt Day" at school and it was so much fun to see everyone repping their college gear. I'm one of those people who just gets really excited for other peoples' successes. Also notice how I turned my simple shirt into a fabulous ensemble (Though I really need to invest in some burgundy and gold sunglasses like my comrade here) BUT today was also a great day for me because USC MOVED MY ADMISSION TO THE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At first I was admitted as a spring student, which is cool but dude, now I'll be going to college along with EVERYONE ELSE and I am SO EXCITED!

Yeah, college! FIGHT ON!

Fight On!

Guess what arrived in the mail today? You have no idea how excited I am. I even wore a mustard sweater and red raw silk skirt to school today to show off how absolutely stoked I was to receive a BIG ENVELOPE from THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (aka the university of spoiled children, where I will fit in perfectly!)

Who would ever think that burgundy and gold go so well together? Certainly not I, but upon second thought I realize there are a lot of opportunities for these colors. So I scoured the internet to find some possible school-spirit-appropriate clothes, and wouldn't you know, even Proenza Schouler has hopped on the "Burgundy <3's Gold" Train. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
