September Favorites
Long time, no see. University has been a whirlwind of experiences that I’ve barely had time to catch my breath and just breathe. I meant to post once a week on here, but as you can see, I missed my goal. Between figuring out classes, homework, making friends, rushing, joining clubs, and exploring LA, I feel as if I never have time to myself. I find myself constantly surrounded by my suitemates (perhaps the best people at Pepperdine), constantly laughing or complaining about class together. But for once, today, the suite is empty and I have time to reflect and make a new blog post on my September favorites. California is now my home, and I want to share all my new favorites with you.

This is the perfect film for a girl’s night in. Be ready to laugh, swoon, and cry over the fact that Pierson Fode is too beautiful for this world. (Also fun fact: the movie is an Indie film and was shot in 21 days). …show more content…

This week we watched Big, the story about a thirteen-year-old who wishes to be big. He ends up becoming thirty-years-old and begins working for MacMillan Toy Company where he tests toys and falls in love. Starring Tom Hanks, this film reminds us to be young for as long as we can and to bring out our inner
