a fresh start


Although this is the first post on this blog, this is not my first blog post. From 2012 to 2016 I wrote a "fashion and lifestyle" blog which went by many names, but for the most part "North Shore Proper." That blog grew with me from my freshman year of high school, all the way through my freshman year of college, and even into the first few months of my sophomore year. I'm halfway through my junior year of college, and for that last few months, I've had this itch to start blogging again.

I guess I should probably explain why I stopped blogging?

The answer is, I don't know. I guess I wasn't finding joy in it anymore, I didn't have enough time to dedicate to it, the fashion blogging world had blown up into a virtually impossible space to thrive, and if we're being real... I got lazy. I can be a very driven person when I want to be, but if it is something I'm not very passionate about, I have trouble finding the motivation. I lost my passion for North Shore Proper, and let it die. (Not really, the site and all my posts are still there if you want to browse through it).

That brings me to this blog. Over the past few months, I've had lots of times where a great idea for a blog post pops into my head, and I think about resurrecting North Shore Proper, but I eventually realized that that blog wasn't the type of blog I wanted to write anymore. This blog will be a little bit of everything, fashion, lifestyle, advice (as if I'm qualified to give advice ha!), and honestly just a collection of my experiences. What I hope I can offer through this blog is a look into the life of a caffeine addicted college student trying to live her best life. I will share more about the title of this blog soon, but for now, just bear with me and follow along. If you have anything you'd like to see in particular here, please let me know!

Senior Year

I can't believe I'm already a month into my senior year of college. It's always been going quickly, but I feel like this year has been such a whirlwind already. Professors are already giving out midterms... I didn't mean to take a break from blogging at all, and certainly not this long of a break, but this blog ended up on the back burner for a while, and slowly creeped out of my mind over the summer. Recently I've been feeling very motivated to get back into blogging because I feel like I'm lacking a substantial creative outlet right now. I think that social media has turned in to such a circus, and just being able to write my thoughts out in an old-school sense has a big appeal to me right now. Some things that have happened since I've last posted: + I've taken the LSAT + I've moved into a house in Kentucky + I visited Washington DC  and Wintergreen VA with my family + I started my senior year *gulp* of college + I started a new...

Blue Light Glasses

I'm not sure if it's the 10 hours + a day I spend on the computer, or the extra 5 I spend on my phone, but my eyes have been tired recently. This was enough for me to look into blue light glasses and purchase a pair. Blue Light is the light from your computer that can strain your eyes and cause trouble falling and staying asleep. I purchased an  inexpensive pair  just to try them out, and so far I'm really enjoying them. I've forgotten to throw them in my bag a couple of times, and now always wish I had them because I've noticed a significant difference in how tired my eyes feel by two or three pm. So I want to know, have you tried blue light blocking glasses? If so which ones do you have and what do you think of them?
