Five on Friday

It's hard to believe that it is already Friday! I feel like I was just writing Monday's post. One of the things that has stayed fairly consistent with my blogging over the years is my Five on Friday post. In these posts, I share five random things that are on my mind, whether is a pair of shoes, a book I've been reading, or a life update.

1. The number one thing that has been weighing on my mind this week is housing. I'm moving back home to Chicago from my house in Kentucky *sobs* in just a few short weeks, and then soon I'll be moving up to Wisconsin for law school. I have absolutely no idea where I will be living and don't know if I'll be living with roommates or not, so it has made the apartment search pretty difficult and overwhelming. I know once details start to fall in to place everything will be okay, but for now, I'm scouring the web for affordable and liveable places!

2. Becoming. I'm hoping to finish this book over the weekend because it's just that good. I've been chipping away at it every day this week and loving each chapter more than the last. Her career path is very similar to what I see myself pursuing in the future, so it's definitely relatable and inspirational. Next, on my reading list are two more non-fiction finds.

3. Taking a break from dip manicures. I've been getting gel manicures for the past two years and then switched to dip this past October and while I've loved having really thick shiny nails for the past eight months, I know it's taken quite the toll on my nails. I think I need to take a break from the manicures for a week or two and then switch back to my trusty gel!

4. Decluttering. This goes along with the moving point I made in #1, but I feel like I only wear half of my closet. I have tons of dresses lying around that I wore for one event and then keep around "just in case" even though I know I probably won't wear them again. I'm definitely going to work on clearing out my closet before I head home for the summer. I'm thinking of using Poshmark to get rid of some of my nicer pieces. Let me know how your experience has been if you've used Poshmark in the past!

5. I have a graduation party to attend this weekend and I picked up this dress at H&M to wear. It's going to be super hot out so I figured casual and comfy would be the way to go. I'm planning on dressing it up with some gold jewelry and snakeskin sandals!

I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day to all my fellow ladies. We work so hard every day to live great lives, and are working even harder to improve the lives of those in the future. What an amazing time to be a woman. I mean seriously, in my short lifetime, I've never experienced so much pride in being female. There are so many amazing role models right now for little girls (and big girls) to look up to. It really makes me feel like something big is coming.  Let's all be a part of the change and stand up for what is right every day, and hold up those around us! Compliment the random girl in your philosophy class, like the girl's selfie on Instagram, write a note to your friend when you know she's feeling rough! We deserve greatness and equity, and together we can achieve it! Be sure to hug all of your favorite lady friends extra tight today. As Leslie Knope would say "Uteruses before duderuses!"

reading in 2018

I have quite a few goals for myself in 2018, but one of the major ones is to read more. Last year I had set a goal to read 20 books, and read only about 12. I spend a lot of time looking at screens, whether it be my phone, laptop, or TV. When I was younger, I was a total bookworm. My favorite part of the day was independent reading, and I constantly used to get in trouble for reading books under my desk during class. I got a Kindle for my 14th birthday and you probably would have thought I had gotten a car for how excited I was. that kindle lasted me a few year until the screen broke, and last spring I finally purchased a new Kindle . I purchased the kindle right before I started a series of trips home last spring, as I would be able to read and watch shows while on my flights. Although the Kindle was fairly inexpensive, it has served me very well over the past year. (Tip: I've found that if you leave it in Airplane mode, the battery lasts for days!) I can do a whole review on my

Two Weeks Until Milwaukee

It's hard to believe that in just two shorts weeks, I will be moving into my new apartment in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It's even harder to believe because I will be on vacation for most of those 2 weeks! There is so much to be done and to prepare for in what feels like so little time. As much as there is to do, I don't think that I have been this excited for something in a long time. I keep telling people I feel like it's the week leading up to Christmas. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, this is what I feel like the last ten years of my life have been building to. My earliest memories of seriously considering becoming a lawyer come from middle school, and now here I am, a mere three weeks away from my first class. It's hard to express all of the different emotions I'm feeling regarding this move. I'm sad, of course, to be moving out of my childhood home for what very well may be the last time. I'm excited at the thought of moving to a new city to p
