Go Huskies!

by thedemuremuse on January 3, 2013

Welcome to 2013! I’m still working on my list of goals for the year that I will share later in the month, but I’ve already been able to cross something off!

Despite living in Washington for over a year now, I had never ventured onto the UW campus until recently. I had driven past it a handful of times but never stopped by to look. I don’t know if it’s because university campuses make me feel old or if I was worried my old habits of wearing sweatpants as a daily uniform would come back to haunt me, but I’m glad I finally ventured onto this beautiful campus! Here’s to checking off places to visit in Seattle from my 2013 list.

The first (and my favourite) stop was the library. Oh gosh… The UW library is HUGE! I’ve visited the Berkeley and Sanford libraries before, but I don’t remember either of those libraries having such elaborate staircases. (I do remember the Sanford library to be big enough to the point of getting tired after walking around a couple floors…maybe I’ll revisit someday to make a fair comparison with UW’s).

Hope you guys had an awesome time ringing in the New Year! *Fingers crossed* that we’ll be able to motivate each other to continue checking off things on our list of goals for 2013!

    Cute blue jacket & boots! I’ve never been in the UW library, though I’m sure I’d love it. The campus is really pretty outside. I’ve been thinking of places I want to visit this year too.

      Have you been to any other ones?

      Thank you! I’ve had them for about a year and a half now. Suede isn’t the greatest material for Seattle’s rainy weather, but I wear them at every opportunity I can!

    Does this make me a TERRIBLE Husky to admit that I have no idea which library you’re in? Ugh I’m so ashamed. Well to be honest I only spent my time at Odegaard (the ugly Undergrad one) and Allen Library since the desks were all super secluded which was nice for sneaky snacking. I’m guessing this was Suzzalo? I *think* it was under construction/renovation when I was in school so I don’t really remember it.

    But the campus is just beautiful. You need to go back when all the cherry blossoms are blooming! :)

      i *think* this was Suzzallo… i went to a couple of libraries and don’t really remember which one is which. whoops!
      when is cherry blossom season? i’d love to check out the campus at that time :)

    1. your hair looks amazing in these pictures.
    2. your UW is obvi a different one than our UW (university of wisconsin) but the pictures make it seem like they look very similar so I approve ;)
    3. god, I can’t wait to get back to school. i definitely miss it :(
