Last week was “Moving Week,” hence my disappearance from the Internet for the first week of August. I packed up all my worldly possessions and moved from Chicago to D.C. I do miss Chicago already, but it’s a strange way of missing a city. I’ve really only lived in Chicago for two years (my last two years of high school), since then I’ve been only going home for relatively short visits. Still, two years is a long enough time to call a place home, and I’ll miss that Chicago skyline.
But! D.C. is one of my favorite cities in the US, and I’m now living in an apartment with two of my best friends. This is a vast improvement over living in the dorms, which is what I did my freshman and sophomore years of college. I’m super excited to have my own kitchen with a working oven. The first things I want to make are cheesecake-stuffed strawberries and chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. YUM :D
As my school year doesn’t start until the last week of August, I’ve got all month to settle into my new digs, see friends, and hopefully land an internship for the semester. Oh, and hang out with my (new) boyfriend…!!

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English.
