I'm hanging out at the Cistern and it's ABSOLUTELY beautiful outside!!! My classes ended at noon today and I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately so I ventured outside (I mean, with weather like this, how could I not??)

So, a bit of a rundown of my first couple of weeks at the College of Charleston, because you know, I'm now a college student (woahhh!)
Every time someone asks me "What's your favorite thing about college so far?" my response, the independence. Honestly, I was pretty independent and mature than most people my age (it has it's pros and cons) so the transition wasn't that difficult for me. I mean, yeah, sometimes you feel so overwhelmed (kind of like now) and you want to run away from it all, but you just gotta stick through it. It's not so bad.
Considering that this is a food blog, I have to say, the food here is top notch! I have a few favs: Caviar & Bananas, Christophe's Chocolatier, Nirlep, etc.. There are some other restaurants around too, like Husk, Hall's Chophouse, and Chez Nous (to name a few). Hopefully I'll be able to dine at more upscale places soon.
My favorite days of the week are Tuesdays & Thursdays because a) I don't have class until wayyyy later on into the day and b) I get to have some 'me' time & go to my fav coffee shops! Black Tap (lavender latte and pain au chocolat...uh hello!) and Kudu (no joke, it's right next to my dorm). It's so nice going early in the morning and being able to relax, sip, and listen to some music (& homework, of course).

As for friends, I've met some pretty awesome people. At first, I was a bit apprehensive because you know, it's a whole new school and city, but it's been good! That's the one thing I'm really proud of myself for doing, breaking out of my shell. And the benefit? I met a friend who has a kitchen!! Let me tell you, for a girl like me who lives and breathes cooking/baking, it's extremely frustrating when you find out your dorm is the ONLY dorm without a communal kitchen!! But maybe that's a good thing....
I can't say it enough, Charleston is a beautiful little city, and days like this, I am so grateful.
This is just an insight into my life here at the College and I can only imagine what is waiting for me in the future. College life is pretty great.
That's all for now!
Tschüss,
