Why does the week after a long holiday weekend always seem to last longer?
I’m not sure what the deal with that phenomenon is, though I’m gearing up for a long, busy September. But before I do, here’s one last look back at August in photos. I spent most of August soaking up summer, playing tourist around L.A. and going bicoastal to spend some time with family at home.
These two gorgeous girls are my little sisters, except they’re not so little anymore. When I went home, we took a trip to Oxford, Maryland, the cutest little coastal town. My sisters have spent a lot of time there, and clearly they were in their element longboarding and biking everywhere we went. They gave me a tour of all the (adorable) waterfront homes.
And when my college roomie/BFF came to visit me here in L.A., we went to all the must-see places in the city, including Malibu, the Griffith Observatory, Hollywood and more.
This month, I’m starting a new paid internship, going home again briefly for a wedding and hopefully having a little fun between classes and work. One goal I’m really striving for is to find a comfortable work-life balance to manage my time better. Ideally, that will mean good sleep every night (no super late nights!), efficient time logged online and an up-to-date calendar that’ll prevent me from letting anything slip by. Do you have any tips for time management while balancing school, work and life?
Check-in time: What are you looking forward to in September?
Your planner is your friend. Keep yourself organized is all and know when to say “no”. Looking forward to getting back into a routine – it’s been missing since summer began. 🙂 Have a great one Cassie! -Iva
My calendar really has become my best friend. It’s weird. I didn’t used to be this kind of person. But it is oddly satisfying to add something to my Gmail calendar and see everything organized into different colored boxes. 🙂
I haven’t lived in Los Angeles in 22 years, but you’re making me want to move back. Maryland looks awesome. I’ve always wanted a little beach front shack, just enough room for me.
Come back for a visit sometime!! And Maryland really is beautiful. I appreciate it now more than ever, being so far away!
Oh my gosh. That first picture. I love Venice.
Ugh, me too. I think I could deal with living there!
