Coffee with Katie

Today I finally got around to meeting one of my followers named Katie (@thervaprep), we (used to) go to the same high school and have been waiting to meet each other for a while now! We decided to meet up at Randolph Macon College (Ashland, Va) and take some photos and grab coffee too! Here are some of the photos Katie took of me and a look into our adventures today!

 Katie took some awesome shots of me and I also took some photos of her! You can find those on her blog and Instagram @thervaprep! During our trip we came across an adorable little bakery that was themed Pink, Gold, White, and Black! The interior was adorable and I will definitely be visiting it again for photos and sweets!

 

What's a meet up without Starbucks? Our next stop was Starbucks and I got my forever favorite drink which is the Iced Mocha with light ice (aka more room for coffee), Katie got an iced caramel macchiato and a chocolate cake pop, we talked at Starbucks for a couple hours all about high school and blogging and just life in general.

 

 

 

Next I took her home and got a quick picture with both Katie and her little sister Kristen!

 

 

More photos from today below! You can expect to see blogposts on a few of these outfits coming soon! All in all I had an amazing time with Katie, she is so sweet and genuine which is hard to come by now a days. I am so blessed to have met such a sweet person and y'all can expect to see collaborations and photo shoots with her in the future! If you haven't already, check out @thervaprep on Instagram!

Graduating in Lilly

As some of you know, I recently (yesterday, June 18th) graduated from High School! High School was a wild ride but I think its safe to say I'm ready for the next chapter. I got my Diploma, I finished with good grades, and I will not continue my education at East Carolina University. Here are some Pictures from Graduation Day! As Elle Woods would say, "we did it!".

What High School Taught me/ highschool advice

1. Take required classes as early as you can because it will catch up to you.

2. You will meet the most amazing people that you wish you'd met sooner, your senior year.

3.Grades are important EVERY year (not just junior or senior, so don't slack underclassmen)

4. You don't have to be a senior to be rowdy at football games, everyone wants you to be loud!

5. Upperclassmen only pick on underclassmen because it happened to them when they were the underdogs, it'll lessen each year and eventually you'll be on top! 

6. Not everyone is going to like you, so loving yourself is key.

7. Go to the dances, they may be lame but you'll make the best memories there.

8. Surround yourself with people that lift you up, and are positive.

9. Find friends with the same passions as you (ex: singing, running, theater).

10. Not everyone is nice but petty high school drama is everywhere and it's best to just stay out of it.

11. Pick at least one class you'll enjoy.

12. Take the sat early and apply to colleges early so that you'll have less stress your senior year.

13. Make checklists and to do lists.

14. Never be afraid to express yourself, dress the style you want to dress, cut your hair the way you want, dye it how you want to, this is your world and you choose how you want to live in it.

15. It's OKAY to not know what you want to do in college or after, but family members will ask you very often so try to have an idea (this will mainly happen senior year and they will also ask what college you want to go to).

16. Do NOT stress over the things you cannot control.

17. Some things can wait, take time for yourself and prioritize what's important.

18. College will come soon enough, enjoy your time in high school.

19. Have a friendship with a teacher or two, it'll help you enjoy their class more (I personally have two teachers that are amazing and helped me all throughout high school).

20. You will wish high school away and one day it will end, you'll look back and realize it flew by. (I feel like just yesterday I was a freshman and here I am ready to graduate tomorrow.)

Senior Prom

A couple weeks ago, I got to experience on of the most amazing nights of my life, my senior prom. As the school year went on, all these final memories with my classmates have been passing by in our final months and weeks of high school. Prom this year marked our last high school dance together. We danced all night long, stuffed ourselves with Italian food, and made memories that we'll never forget, and here are a few pictures of the amazing night. Also here is a formal introduction of my boyfriend Lou, he was my awesome date and I just thought it was time for y'all to meet him!
