This Sunday I became an initiated member of Chi Omega! New member no more, I'm officially an active! I was initiated alongside my friend Anna, who had been in the same rush group as me this past fall for recruitment. I had an amazing experience right before my initiation. I posted on my Facebook timeline that morning about how it was my initiation day when one of my cousins commented that my great aunt had also been in Chi O! I had no clue that she had been a Chi Omega, or greek involved at …
School Supplies for Spring Semester
Office Depot was generous enough to send me on a little shopping spree recently to stock up on some much needed essentials for spring semester! I had a great time picking out some cute stuff to improve the organization of my desk as well as plenty of necessary school supplies for my new classes! I'm so much more organized this semester and I haven't been as stressed about temporarily misplacing things. Check out the bottom of the post for links to everything that I picked out!

Two Years
"Time flies when you're having fun!" I honestly can't believe that as of today I have been blogging for two years! When I created Bowtiful Life during my junior year of high school I had no idea that something which was started as just a fun hobby would turn into such a rewarding experience and integral part of my life and identity. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would become the creator of a website that would gain over 105,000 views from readers that are all over the …

Adventures Along Highway 101
During Christmas break, my family and I took a wonderful vacation to the Oregon Coast! Each day we got to travel down Highway 101 to see the various sights around the area. We got to visit Cannon Beach, Manzanita, Seaside, Tillamook, Portland, and other towns in Oregon. Living in the Chicago area has made me very used to the city lifestyle, which I love so much. This trip took me completely out of the usual space I'm in. Traveling to various natural landmarks, visiting cute little vacation …
