Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

Hello Beautiful People!

Just to start off, I just want everyone to know how excited I am about fall being here.  Seriously, I was walking to class the other day, and I got a wiff of the crisp fall aroma and I went weak at the knees haha!  There are just so many fun and exciting things going on all around campus and in life in general that make this such an exciting season. --Not to mention Pumpkin Spice Lattès are back!!

Can you say delish? Delish.

First things first I have to tell you guys all about this new blog my friends and I are doing!  Since we are all off the meal plan we have had to learn so serious cooking skills, and we have turned our passion for the kitchen into something people all over can share!  Our site is called The College Contessas, and we cover all things from experimental recipes to restaurant critiques.  All the things we cook are made in little apartments with limited ingredients and kitchen appliances, so we show everyone how you can make amazing dishes easy and on the cheap!  You can't miss out on this little gem... collegecontessas.blogspot.com  You might as well jump on the bandwagon now, because it's going to be BIG!

This is only a portion of our elaborate spread

College Contessas with a UGA Legend--if you can't tell, there is an old man with a bulldawg painted on his head in the middle of us haha

In other news, we had our first big game this weekend! We played Vanderbilt, and it was more of a beautiful display of our football finesse than an actual game because we smashed them 48-3!  But the actual football game was only a mere shadow to the epic tailgate we held beforehand.  The Burril family did it again.  We seriously had enough food for Sanford Stadium.  But hey, I'm definitely not complaining!! As a poor college kid I was pumped to get some free chow fa show. But of course this grand-ole day did not go without some trials.  My car got towed and I got a parking citation!! So right now I am in the works of getting those taken care of haha...football parking is serious stuff down here!

Something else I want to tell you guys about is ADPR Connection.  This is a huge networking event that is put on by UGA AdClub and PRSSA(Public Relations Student Society of America), and I was chosen to be a Committee Head of Host & Registration!!  This is a great opportunity for me, and since the event is October 23rd, I won't have to worry about being gone next semester.  We are going to have over 100 professionals and a boatload of students, so getting everyone registered and taken care of is a HUGE job!

Other than that, I am still really involved with The Wesley Foundation.  We had our first big event on Friday, where we put on "The Freshley Olympics!" There were all kinds of events freshmen competed in, and the one I worked was fencing.  Please do not ever ask me how to explain it, because I am still confused.  But hey, they had fun!

Oh and I have to tell you guys something exciting that happened today!! So today was like the first day it has been chilly, so of course I went all out and wore all fall clothes haha.  But a girl in my italian class  liked my outfit so much that she took a picture and is going to put it on some UGA fashion thing!! --I'll have to tell you what it is exactly later, but isn't that awesome!?!?  I'm telling' ya, conquering the world one outfit at a time is not just a catchy subheading...it's real life.

I hope everyone is doing well, and I hope to hear from you soon!!

Football and Watching Leaves Fall,
