In Case You Missed It:

This past week was pretty amazing...

Aaaand I finished college...

I shared my design portfolio...

Aaaaaand We're Done...

*with classes So I thought I would be able to sit down and write this blog post. Because yesterday was the last day of my undergraduate college career. It was the last time I will sit in the CMA or BMC as a UT college student. It's nuts. Four years went by so incredibly quickly...I still don't understand. But I find myself struggling to put words to how I feel about my school, this experience ending or anything like that. SO I'm going to work on it. I'll post it before or after graduation in two weeks. But I did want to recognize that today is the last day of school {for everyone else} and I'll be going to senior day at our local college bar and just being bittersweet about everything in general. Also...it feels so weird to not have school work to turn in...  How many of y'all have graduated from college? - xoxo darling, Hayden

Week Re-Cap

 The best friend & I went to Pedernales, our favorite state park. 

 Cow Tipping slaying me every time I go. 

Flower Child will cure a hangover - in case 

you were wondering. 

 I finally tried Juiceland! It is an Austin institution...yes I've lived here for four years.

I took my senior photos! Get ready for a ton of them to be posted soon! 

 Took Libby for a Tower tour on Sunday.

My Design Portfolio

This semester I took a class called Design Journalism and it was one of the best classes I have ever taken. When I tell people I'm a journalism major they just assume my favorite part is the writing - but that's not true. I love the design aspect, that's why I decided to major in it. But it wasn't until the last two years I got to experience this aspect. On Thursday I will turn in my final portfolio for design so I thought I would share my designs with y'all. What do you think? - xoxo darling, Hayden

My letter head: the "h" is my handwriting taken into Illustrator. 

We had to "re-do" a book cover, I chose one of my all time favorite books. 

We had to make a fake magazine, mine is West, about travel in West Texas. 

This is the cover. 

This is the Table of Contents for West. 

 A two page spread about cacti in West. 

Our last project was a "Cause Poster" so I tried to be  funny and make it about Tide Pods.
