Tuesday Tunes

I felt like it was about time I posted again, and wanted to share some music with you! Lots of blogs do Music Mondays, and I really like some of the music that the urban outfitters blog posted here. The song "Cheap Perfume" by Bare Wires is pretty neat. Very lo-fi, which is definitely one of my favorite types of music. I realize that this blog has kind of been transitioning into more music than anything since I haven't had time for much else. If you want to hear about anything in particular let me know! Hope this helps cure your weekend blues :)

Song that I like

You might recognize these guys from the MTV music awards. They were so great! This song rocks.

This week has been my first official week back at school and it's already been crazy with work. Maybe I'm not used to the academic level of DePauw after being in Copenhagen for four months, but jeez, so much for the senior slide! I also have been trying to figure out my plans for after graduation and realized I have to start studying for the MCAT pretty soon if I want to be ready to apply for medical schools in August. Yikes. Looks like MCAT Kelsey is about to emerge...get ready. 

Last First Day?

So today is the last first day of my undergraduate education! Weird right? I thought it would be funny to document this remarkably anti-climatic event with some photos. I talked my roommate Nicole into taking these:

Nicole was also my roommate freshman year, so we've come full circle as roommates again for senior year. Its nice to live with someone you've already lived with because you skip the awkward phase of figuring out how to live with each other.

beginning of junior year when we lived in the Walden

These past three years have flown by, and I know that this next year will be the same so I'll just have to make the most of it! It feels good to be back :)

The music video is really weird but the song rocks. 

Show & Tell

While I should be packing, I decided to update my blog instead. I can't believe summer ended so quickly and I drive to DePauw tomorrow! I'm sad to leave because this summer was so great, but excited to go back at the same time. Saying bye to people at work was really hard. My manager cried when I left! I got along so well with everyone at Edina Peds, working there this year was easily 10 times better than the last. And even though my friend count was diminished this summer, I loved hanging out with my friends that were here and my family.

On a lighter note, here's some show and tell:

these are the suitcases I've acquired this summer 

(yes Annie I know the one on the bottom is yours)

these are coming with me to school :)

A song I'm currently obsessed with:

I don't quite know who reads this blog anymore, but thank you if you do. Shout out to my dad for being my #1 follower :) Thank you Minnesota for another great summer, and here's to my senior year of college (yikes) in Indiana!

Vintaging

Hello! I've been working a lot lately (as usual), but when I'm not working I try to socialize and such as much as possible. This past weekend my cousins from California were in town so my aunt and I took them to the Antique Mall of St.Paul. I love that place so much, it was nice to take them there! I found this awesome blouse there with the cutest collar. I've been looking for a shirt with that type of peter pan collar so I was happy to find it!

look who showed up! 

I go back to school so soon its unreal. Where did the summer go? There's one song I've been listening to on repeat so if you haven't heard it I suggest you have a listen:

Feist

Fiesty

Go Outside

This past weekend I had the scary realization that I only have one month of summer left. One. Month. Ahh! Its gone by so fast. I've been working the most I ever have, so this summer has been pretty tame, but at the same time really good. It's been a nice transition from the surreal semester in Europe to life back home. The fact that I was living in Denmark two months ago feels sooo long ago that it's hard to grasp sometimes.

Things that rocked today:

1. I got paid! It was about time.

2. This shirt rocks. 

3. I caved and bought a Fjallraven Kanken backpack and I LOVE it. 

4. Cults made a music video! Its been over a year since my friend Jeff showed me the song "Go Outside" and I'm still in love with it. Here's the official music video:

OH YEAH I saw Oh Land and Sia last week at First Ave and they were amaaazing. Oh Land was so cute and Danish she won me over instantly. Sia was incredible live! She was down to earth and chatty-but in the funny, charming way. At one point during the show she stopped to pull up her pants on stage. Haha can you believe it? I just about died. So great. Have a fantastic rest of the week everyone!
