Pattern Play

It seems that Thursday nights are when I'll be doing most of my blogging this semester. With only one class on Friday, and not even until the afternoon, I consider Thursday night to be the start of my weekend. Usually I'm exhausted by the end of the day, as it's my busiest of the week, so I unwind with some me-time, usually by catching up on this week's episode of The Good Doctor and working on content for the blog.

Last weekend, my mom visited spontaneously. It was nice to get away from the dorm for a couple of days and of course to spend time with her. We didn't make any big plans and instead opted to stay in the warmth of our Airbnb, watching movies and ordering UberEats a few too many times. The row house was just a block from M Street and two from the university, and I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a charming place to stay in Georgetown.

I took full advantage of having my mom--the Etscorn family photographer--here by requesting that she bring her camera to shoot some pictures for an outfit post. We had the perfect sunny (but still cold!) day here on Saturday so we headed outside. Instead of something new, I thought I'd share some of the tried-and-true items in my closet, the ones I reach for day after day.

How to Stay Well in College

It's official: flu season is here. And I'm fairly confident that there's no worse place to be during an epidemic than on a college campus. With all of the shared spaces, from dorms to dining halls, it's no wonder the virus seem to spare no one. Plus, as if it's not hard enough to stay on top of your school work while healthy, being sick inevitably puts you behind.

My poor roommate has been stuck in bed with the flu all week despite getting a vaccine months ago, but somehow I've been lucky enough to escape it so far. So I figured it's as good a time as ever to share my tips for staying well as a college student, in hopes that you can too. Keep in mind that these don't just apply to college students though!
