4100 miles, 26 hours in the car roundtrip, 7 states, 6 days, and 1 lost voice. I'd say it was a good spring break. Alternate caption: we only own K-State shirts. #lexigoesadventuring #thecollegeyears (at Dahlonega, Georgia)

This is my sweet friend Han. It is her 20th birthday & she is my aesthetic. Han, I hope that in your 20th year you finally learn how to take care of plants. Love you long time, sis. ✨ . . . . #vsco #vscocam #thatsdarling #livefolk #liveauthentic #socality #thecollegeyears

Brownstreets back... alright! I was so happy to get together with my college roommates for New Years. These boys are some of my very best friends and we have created so many crazy & wonderful memories for the few years we shared a roof. To many more years of friendship and ringing in the new year together. 🥂 #livelaughbreathe #newyear #newyearseve #roommates #roommatelove #brownstreetboyz #friendship #thecollegeyears #cysticfibrosis #cfirl

Young me (maybe 19?) at a protest in college. I can't be in DC but have found memories of going there 10 or so years ago with my feminist friends and my mom. It was life changing. Thanks for this photo @timothydonner. I think this was a war protest. #tbt #thecollegeyears #skullnecklace pic.twitter.com/kYnvrXHyLC

Cats won. Dawgs lost. All is well. #lexigoesadventuring #thecollegeyears (at Bramlage Coliseum)

Today, I am so grateful to attend a school where I am challenged to think about everything spiritually & intellectually, whether it be The Book of Common Prayer (which I haven't approached with an intellectual eye before) or my geology class (which I never would have thought to approach with expectancy of the Spirit to show up). I am so grateful to be part of a community where my professors are also my friends, and we find ways to encourage one another in things big & small over cups of coffee in offices overflowing with essays and philosophical treatises. Wheaton College, you sure are pretty darn special. ✨ #thanksGod #sharethegratitute!!! . . . . #vsco #vscocam #livefolk #liveauthentic #livegrateful!! #thatsdarling #socality #thecollegeyears #mywheaton #lillireadsthings (at Wheaton College)

Final Countdown: 4 Days

My first year of college starts in 4 days and since I’m feeling pretty miserable af rn I thought I might as well do something to document the experience for myself, what I’m feeling, my likes/dislikes, etc. so that I can look back on this in 4 years and be like lol what a loser.

I usually suck at keeping things going. Like freshmen year of high school I planned on taking a picture of myself everyday so that I could make one of those videos where they show transformations over the years with like .003 second images but yeah that only lasted one day because I forgot to take the picture on day 2.

Anyway, what are my thoughts now?

I still have to finish my summer reading book (which isn’t supposed to be a thing in college come on people) and i have to do about an hour more on some “awareness” course that tells me all about drinking and partying and how elsa and anna got cray at a party (it legit used elsa and anna as an example i’m not even kidding) and like it’s kinda annoying bc i know myself? None of that interests me so elsa and anna can party on while i stay home watching the office ?

Let’s see what else is there?

I drove to my school for the first time today and that was an experience.

I didn’t harm anyone or anything, but I did almost turn onto the highway like 4 times and ur girl doesn’t do highways so that could’ve been rough. It’s just such a busy commute with lots of people and cars and i’m not an experienced driver at all and i hate driving so it was kind of a nightmare and i’m dreading having to drive to school and back every freaking day. 

In this moment i’m really wishing I decided to live on campus. But you know...at least i’m saving money and can see my dogs every day?

Most of my friends moved into their dorms today and it made me kind of sad because we already are getting distant with each other. You ask for a simple pic of their dorm so far and nada replies! I love decorating and all said friends know this and I pestered them for months about what their dorm theme/color scheme was going to be and how excited I was for them to decorate but now that the day has come no one answers me on how it’s going. I’m sure they’re just busy and overwhelmed, but still. I can be impatient and always think the worst.

I also decided I think I want to change my major. Like classes haven’t even started and I’m already doubting myself. It’s just like I’m sure I’ll do okay in the major I have now..but is it something I really want to do? Deep down I know I love screenplay writing and films and just more creative things so why the heck am I majoring in ACCOUNTING? 

Update: As I’m writing this one friend has messaged saying I’ll get the dorm tour tomorrow. Bless. However, this message made me realize something..All of my friends are like..moving on with their lives and everything is new for them..While I’m sitting here in my bed I’ve always had (well lol ever since i stole it and the room it’s in from my sister when she went off to college) and like not much is changing for me? How can I grow if everything is kind of the same? In high school I legit stayed in my room 90% of the time and now I feel like I may do the same thing in college? Idk. I’m going to try to actually have a life and to not die driving to school and to keep this thing going every day until I graduate college. But who knows? If I come back tomorrow for day 2 at least I’ll already have a better thing going for me than the picture thing in high school.

also wow can i just say what a great end to this first post i feel like a profesh coming full circle there wow

ok bye

p.s. i don’t expect anyone to read this bc it’s more just like an online journal for me? but like if u are then that’s cool i GUESS

Senior year let's gooooooo #lexigoesadventuring #thecollegeyears (at Anderson Hall)

It's time for the beginning of a new semester at Wheaton!! I'm exhausted from staying up way too late hanging out with my roommate & waking up way too early to hang out with God, but it feels good - nothing a little coffee can't fix, right? This morning I spent my time in Psalm 77: “Surely I will remember Your wonders of old; I will meditate on all Your work and talk of Your deeds.” Beloved, even when it seems as if reaching out to the Lord only provides more trouble for your soul, He is right there with you. Even when He sounds silent, remember the noise He has made before & praise His glorious name for the mercy He is showing you right now! He has given you this day, this moment, this very breath. . . . . #vsco #vscocam #thatsdarling #livefolk #liveauthentic #livetruth #socality #thecollegeyears #mywheaton (at Wheaton College)
