Newport, RI

Today I went to Newport and it was so wonderful! It was so pretty and posh. Everyone had so much style and it was so clean and exciting. I'm so used to the gross OCMD Boardwalk and this was quite refreshing and nice! I'm honestly not the biggest fan of beaches for some reason (I know, crazy probably) but they're still so pretty to look at. It was a little bit over a 2 hour drive from southern MA, and definitely worth the trip :)

 

These are some phone photos, so sorry for the quality!

Happy weekend

Brown bags and pretty flowers for your Saturday...

Right now...

I'm watching Crazy, Stupid Love

 

Trying to pack up my messy room, even though it's not getting any cleaner

We Heart It

 

Trying to find some fun DIYs to do to keep me entertained over the Summer

My Pinterest

 

Getting excited about going home for Summer but also getting sad because college is fun

 

What are you doing at the moment?



Currently

Loving: Summer! It's almost here guys!! I've made it through Freshman year and I'm so glad. It was rough, but it's done now and I can be in my home with my car and my family and I'm just so happy it's over.

 

Watching: That 70s Show... I feel like I repeat myself a lot on this blog. I like to re-watch shows all the time and right now I'm re-watching That 70s Show for the millionth time :)

 

Anticipating: A job. I'm not sure what it will be yet, but I need to find a Summer job. I'm really anxious about it because 1) I get nervous about things easily and 2) I'm worried I won't be able to find one, which wouldn't be good. So, yeah, fingers crossed.

 

Listening to: Milky Chance. How am I just now finding out about this group?!

 

Working on: Getting to go to my friend's wedding in June. I live in PA and her wedding's in GA. It's just the cost of travel and stay that are keeping me back, but she's one of my best friends, so I'm trying so hard to go.

 

Wishing: Time would slow down. The days are passing me by so quickly I can't even keep track. I'll be doing something and look at the time and it'll be 9:30 pm and I don't know where the day went! This Summer is going to fly by and I wish everything would slow down a little, ya know?

Thanks to Danielle over at Sometimes Sweet for this post idea! What are you currently up to? Link back to me -- I'd love to hear!

Annoyed

Arg. I've had a frustrating couple of days and it's annoying because I want to be happy since it's the last week of school. I'm just so annoyed and confused about things right now. Hopefully things will look up. But on a brighter note, I just finished my last class of freshman year!

 

(really old picture by me)

 

Hope you're days are good! Have a great week.



 

How pretty is this picture?! I found it on this Tumblr.

Favorite Tumblrs

I thought I'd share 5 Tumblrs that I love! I know when I first got a Tumblr, many moons ago, I was totally lost on where to start because how do you find all the good ones?! And I also thought I'd show some love towards some great blogs.

 

1. ZackIsOnTumblr

This one is for someone looking for a laugh! This blog is HILARIOUS and I could scroll through forever. Zack is also a YouTuber and he's so funny -- check out his channel!

 

2. EnchantedMemories

This one is just pure cute. I reblog from this one far too often and scrolling through it is like reading a story!

 

3. AutumnCozy

As you know, my favorite season is fall! The pies, the colors, the scarves, the holiday. Fall is the bomb! And this Tumblr just gives an ode to the wonderful season that is Fall.

 

4. FloralRainboots

This blog is great! It's mostly watercolors and it's super cute to scroll through and see all the art. I come here a lot to get some inspiration!

 

5. HighSkoolProbz
Don't judge me on this one, haha! This one is kind of for the side of me that wants adventure and fun. I like to look at this to kind of cater to the rebel-side of me.


Have a great weekend! I have to hit the books because finals start this week and I go back to PA next week!



May!

The month that I never thought would get here is finally here! It's been a long school year, but with 1 week left, I'm grateful. I'm grateful that I was able to come to such a nice school, that I got to have such unique experiences, and that the weather is finally getting warm.

Cheers to another month!

Stolen Dance

Stop everything! This is my current jam and I encourage you to have a small dance party and take a few minutes to listen :)

Pray for Baltimore

I'm in complete awe of what's happening in Baltimore right now. This is the city where I grew up and it's where all my family is. They're all safe, thank God. These idiots are destroying the city and hurting innocent people! You can't drive out violence with violence. It's just WRONG. Try to stay safe, Baltimore! Hopefully this will all be over soon.

 

Rainy Mood

I've talked about this site before, but I love Rainy Mood. You go on and just listen to rain falling! Am I the only person that actually enjoys cozy, rainy days?!

 

 

Pictures from Rainy Mood's Instagram

P.S. Did anyone watch the Bruce Jenner interview the other day? How inspirational! I teared up a little while watching certain parts.

Happy Monday!

As a little post-Earth Day tribute, here are some really pretty pictures I found by Sadie Jane Baynham! The ones of the sea are amazing. Check out her Flickr!

Is anyone else an Office fan?? I found this on Tumblr and thought it was too funny!

The Spectacular Now, 2013



Move Forward

This week has sucked. It's only Wednesday, but I want it to be over. I hate saying that, because I want to enjoy everyday -- I don't want to wish days away. This week, however, my anxiety has gone through the roof. All I want to do is hide in my room and sleep out this whole week. I can't even do that though because the people in my hall are some of the mot disrespectful people I've ever met.

 

I hate this and I just want to go home. Lately, I've been questioning a lot of things about my life, including college. Is this even the path for me? Am I doing what I really want to do in life? Am I working towards a goal that will make me happy? I'm just not feeling happy doing what I'm doing at this point in time. I've tried so hard this year to get used to this and waited for it to get better, and while it's had it's really high ups and really low downs, I'm ultimately sad a majority of the time.

 

I saw this tweet and it really made me think.

 

So now I pose the question: what next? Do I want to continue on this path? Or try something new?

 

Thanks for listening to the rant. Last night I just kind of broke down and I wanted to write all my thoughts out somewhere.

 

Ugh.

Lately

Here are a couple Instagrams (and just some pictures) as of late! You can also check out my Instagram feed to the right of this post -->

@katiescherpf

 

{The weather's been so nice lately!} {New flowers planted on campus} {I got a fish! His name's James Franco} {For Easter I went to my friend's house in CT and we ordered pizza and watch HSM}

 

{Pretty sunset at BWI} {Exploring with my dog, Charlie} {I love art studios} {Olive Tree Café in NYC -- chalk tables and the best apple pie EVER}

 

{The Met} {Dreaming of living in a pretty Manhattan apt. one day} {Only 3 weeks left in my cozy dorm!} {Driving around with sleepy Charlie. I miss my car and my puppy!}

 

Hope you're having a happy day :)

Anxiety

I don't want to go too in depth with it, but do any of you have anxiety? I know some people have it way worse than me and I don't want to talk like I know everything. It just gets SO annoying. I just randomly feel nervous about nothing. I'll just be sitting watching Netflix or doing classwork and I'll get the largest feeling of anxiety. It sucks!

 

Anyway, here's a picture of Audrey Hepburn because I wish I was as cool as her.

 

 

Hope you're all happy and healthy!



Tonight

Well, I'm feeling nostalgic again. So here's the plan for tonight:

 

Watch 500 Days of Summer

 

Scribble a few inspiring quotes in my journal

 

Read through old archives of some of my favorite blogs

Picture source

 

List some things that I have on my radar for next time I go shopping

Picture source

 

And maybe heat up some water for tea (even though I don't have any pretty mugs to put it in)

Picture source

 

Have a great week, beauties.

Link Love

Only 3 weeks left of school!! Thank God!!

Have you heard of the Instagram account @IHaveThisThingWithFloors? I love it! It's so cute!

You need to get good before you get great. This commercial is so good!

This song is my current jam (take a minute to dance a little).

I love this city so much.

This looks SO GOOD.

Any other Pennsylvannians in the house?

This is one of my favorite Twitter accounts. The Office is the funniest show ever, period!

Hope you have an awesome Sunday! This week at my school we start a thing called Sti-Yu-Ka. It's really fun, but everyone's drunk the whole week. Fingers crossed I don't get super annoyed, super quick!

Missing the person you used to be

Ok, so this post is kind of deep... but I really like talking about it. I was writing about this in my journal the other day and thought others could relate.

 

Do you ever kind of miss the person you used to be? I like moving on and growing up and all that jazz, but sometimes just looking through past archives, finding pictures from 2011, or reading old blogs I used to read all the time just makes me miss that feeling and that person I once was. When I go through and do all that, it just makes me really want to revert back to that photographing/bicycle riding/vintage loving girl that I once was.

 

Is that weird?? Do you ever do that? It doesn't bring me down or anything, but it just makes me think about how weird change is. People change so much and there's no stopping it! It's a good thing how people are growing into something moving forward with their lives, but it also makes me a little sad knowing that the people and things that I once admired so much aren't the same any more.

 

Anyway... hope you all are good. As a bit of nostalgia to go along with this post, here are a few throwback links to a few of my favorite blog posts from other bloggers back in the day (some of these bloggers don't blog anymore, but it should be fine!):

 

Annie from The Other Side of Gray -- In other words, the queen of pattern mixing and big, chunky scarves! I used to come home from school everyday and immediately check her blog. I really loved how I dressed in high school and she really gave me a majority of my inspiration!

 

 

Emily from The Daily Fashionista (now Finding Beauty) -- Hmm weird how most of these are fashion blogs... but I guess that says a lot about what I like/liked! Emily is AWESOME! Her style is fantastic AND she thrifted! She's actually the person who turned me on to thrifting and most of the things that I've purchased that thrift stores were inspired by her! I would check her blog usually more than once a day just incase she posted something else, I didn't want to miss it ;) I hope she's doing really well!

 

 

Eeny from Eeny's Universe -- I actually discovered this one a little late in the game! I wish I would have found her sooner because her blog is awesome. She would do this thing called the Pizza Adventures where she would make a new pizza from scratch once a week and post it on the blog. I have yet to try to make any, but the Aloha Pizza definitely has my mouth watering!

 

 

Amanda from Here Comes the Sun -- She posted a good mix of everything from photography to outfit posts to her personal interests, and it was great! I followed along with her for a very long time! She's from New Zealand and her posts were always put together so well and just plain put a smile on my face. I miss her blog, but I follow her on Instagram!

 



And there are definitely WAY more, but I don't want to have you reading all day ;) Give me your thoughts on this!

Fancy pizza

Arg! I've been seeing a lot of pictures of these gourmet pizza places/pizza cafes on Tumblr lately and I love them! I want to go to one of these so badly! It's not your average, sloppy pizza place and I think that's so awesome!

Titanic

I'm not really sure why I'm so obsessed with The Titanic... maybe it's not really to say I'm obsessed with it. I don't know. It was awful, don't get me wrong! I just love reading up about it and everything. And of course Titanic is one of my favorite movies, but that's more because romance, hehe!

I found this video of actual footage and it's so interesting! Check it out. I can't believe people actually dressed like this at one time... how I would love for people to dress and interact like this again:

 

Also, would you ever ride Titanic II? As much as I think it would be amazing, I don't think I would. I'm kind of superstitious though.

 

PS. They added Titanic back on Netflix again woop woop!



Inspirational Monday

Love this! Be you, always.
