Campus Visit Day

Hello everyone!!

Sorry I have been slacking again on the posts, but college is pretty tough sometimes! I have promised myself to post at least once a week though.

This past Saturday was Campus Visit Day at Marymount. It was our first one of the semester, and the first time a lot of the new ambassadors had given any group tours. Pretty exciting day to be honest.

The students who come to CVD are high school juniors, high school seniors, even college transfer students who are interested in Marymount. The day has a resource fair with all the different majors and offices at MU, breakout sessions for different MU-related points, and of course... campus tours! That's where I come in! I've been an ambassador for a year, so I'm pretty used to giving large group tours (Have you ever walked 30 middle schoolers around a college campus and tried to explain why college dorms were a thing, and why everyone didn't just take the bus to their classes? Yeah, that was a true test of my communication skills.)

This CVD I only had a tour of two families. One was from Boston (YAY!) and one was from the NoVA area. Unfortunately neither student was interested in fashion :( but they complimented me on my styling of the polo! I told them that I hate dressing like everyone else, so just a polo and khakis is totally not going to fly with me.

Anyone who was a college ambassador knows that you have to stay on schedule! A watch and a little bit of marked time stamps on my hand will certainly do the trick.

Too bright for the name tag to be seen, but you guys know who I am anyways...

Also this vest has saved me so many times... the pockets hold key cards, room keys, cell phones, program schedules, I probably could have fit my water bottle to be honest :P

My weekend home!

Since it was Fall Break... and the air plane tickets were wicked cheap... I got to go home this weekend! The weekend was composed of seeing my two very best friends, Brenna and Meagan, and most of my family (Grace was at school and John was at work).

With Brenna and Meagan, I went to see the movie Annabelle at the Drive-in (yes those things exist in Massachusetts) and I definitely screamed more than I probably should have. The three of us had seen The Conjuring together last summer at the Drive-in, so seeing Annabelle was obviously a must. Minus the fact that we were talking through half the movie and the other half I was screaming, I'd say it was worth it. 

The next day Meagan surprised us (and by surprised, I mean she forgot to tell us and thus we were not prepared at all) and told us that her and her family were going hiking on Mt. Wachusett Sunday. Me being me, I had only brought home one pair of shoes that matched all my outfits... all except my "hiking" outfit. Luckily enough, I am the same size shoe as her mom, and Brenna and Meagan are the same size. So, off we went on a lovely hiking trip... Here are some photos!

Brenna told Meagan to make it look like she was running from something... lol

The rest of my break was spent at home between going over Gramma Jeannie's, showering without using shower shoes, dinner with Mom & Tommy, pumpkin picking in the yard, hanging out with the cats, teaching myself how to crochet, going to the 4-H clubhouse, and of course taking outfit photos with the doggie!

Here are some photos of various places around our yard that I thought were pretty darn cool... what parts your favorite??

               

And of course I can't forget about my outfit! I only brought one carry-on so I literally had 3 outfits to choose from... but this one is pretty darn comfy & FAB! 

Welker was not so amused by me though :P

I LOVE the pleather shoulder details! And I accented them with the pleather tank top for layering (its cold in Massachusetts!) and also with my textured black clutch.

Couldn't resist a #FromWhereIStand moment...

This scarf is EVERYTHING I tell you... legit its so comfortable and its soooo big and oversized I can wrap it around like three times. Must-Have for this winter. 

And one last shot of Welker... who thought playing tug-o-war was more fun than taking photos :P

On Fridays We Wear Pink

Okay I might have worn this outfit on Wednesday...

BUT it's mid terms week so I was slacking with the blog postings #sadface. Good news though, MID TERMS ARE OVER! #thehappiestoffaces

Since this week is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, every Wednesday I am going to wear something pink. Means Girls would be so proud of their legacy.

This week I chose a t-shirt (designed by one of Marymount's students!) that I bought last year for a Pink Dinner fundraiser. Pink Dinner is an annual event put on by the Office of Campus and Residential Services for the entire Marymount community to donate to the National Breast Cancer Foundation and help Knock Out Breast Cancer!

I accented the pink in the t-shirt with a pink skinny belt. Paired with my wide-leg jeans (which I still think the flare jean is totally fab no matter what anyone tells me) and chunky heels, and I was good to go!

Also, side note... I'm going home for FOUR WHOLE DAYS tomorrow!! Cant wait to see my friends and family again :) Get ready for those posts next week!

Let's talk about Homecoming!

Marymount's Homecoming was last weekend! It was a packed weekend of special events, soccer & lacrosse games, and even a street fair. Since I'm on the executive board for ACE (association for campus events) I was actively involved with most events set-ups, run-throughs, and take-downs. So, here's a little play-by-play of Eva's weekend:

Friday (after classes of course) was spent preparing for the event on Saturday and also prep for the Homecoming Dance began. The theme was Cirque De Soil, and I had the PERFECT dress for it if you ask me ;P (I actually made the dress my senior year of high school!) Here are some pictures of the dance....sorry about the blurry-ness :(.

                

Saturday we had Festival Alley for alumni and current students to join in on. There was popcorn, cotton candy, face painters (of whom I asked to make me into a cheetah), BBQ, cupcakes, corn hole, music, a bouncy house, a mechanical shark, and a ton of other fun things for everyone to enjoy. I didn't get too many because I was busy having fun!

Saturday night we had our 3rd Dancing with the MU Stars event. It's basically the same as DWTS except the contestants are either MU alumni, faculty, staff, or students and they only have to perform one dance. Their partners are professional dancers from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio (so the real deal) and they choreograph the dances. (I've always been super jealous of the dancers because they get to wear all these super expensive, beautiful dresses... but hey, I had my face painted like a cheetah/ who's the real winner here?) Among the contestants was my super good friend Zack (the guy in the dance picture with me) and an awesome Admissions counselor/ MU alumn Eric! They both did super fabulous, but sadly didn't take home the mirror ball trophy. Overall, I think this event is one of the best Marymount puts on (I'm bias toward Portfolio in Motion of course) and can't wait for next years.
