Book Quotes

Have you ever read a line in a book that you had to re-read? Not because you couldn't understand it, but because it was so beautiful? Sometimes this happens to me, but currently I am reading  Les Misérables, and I find myself doing this all the time. So, I've started a notes (one of those yellow notepad things) on my iPhone to write them down and remember them. Here's just a few: 

"M. Gillenormand...was one of those men who have become curiosities, simply because they have lived a long time; and who are strange, because formerly they were like everybody else, and now they are no longer like anybody else" 

"What a spectacle is night! We hear dull sounds, not knowing whence they come; we see Jupiter, twelve hundred times larger than earth, glistening like an ember, the welkin is black, the stars sparkle, it is terror-inspiring" 

"The soul helps the body, and at certain moments uplifts it. It is the only bird which sustains its cage."  

"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise" 



I think it would be so great to do something with quotes like these... maybe some thing like:









Of course some of my most favorite quotes come from Pride and Prejudice: 



A New Opportunity

As a junior marketing major, I knew it was time to start looking into internships. I have always had an interest in small business because I ultimately would like to open a store of my own one day. I blessed to hear about the store Northgate Vintage in my city and I started my internship there earlier this month! So far, I have helped the owned with the finishing touches of renovating (she recently added men's clothing to the store and wanted to make sure the store wasn't as feminine so male customers would feel comfortable shopping there), I've also started managing the social media, and I've worked on a couple of odd and ends involving managing of the store! It's been such a great experience so far and I've only been here for a week! I wanted to share a couple pictures of the place!

 
 
 
 

As you can see, the place is adorable and has a great selection of clothing and accessories! I'll keep everyone updated!
