Five on Friday

I used to do this series almost weekly when I had my old blog, and I really liked being able to share a few random things each week.

1. This week was Rush Week for my Co-Ed Fraternity, and as Vice President of Membership, you can imagine that at times it was a little stressful. This semester we weren't expecting a huge pledge class (I had to majorly adjust my expectations after I set them much too high in the Fall Semester). I managed to get through the week pretty painlessly.

2. I got a couple of new pairs of jeans in from Abercrombie (Don't judge, they have the best jeans and fit me so well!) and am so obsessed with them! They're both on sale for under $40 right now. I got this distressed pair of boyfriend jeans in a size 27short, and this pair of ankle skinny jeans in a 28short. (I'm 5'5" and the "short" always look more flattering on me)




3. I've been having a really rough time falling asleep recently. Usually, I'm out before my head even hits the pillow, but the past few days it's been taking me 10-30 minutes to fall asleep. I know that's not too bad, but for me, it's way out of character! It gets worse the longer it takes because then I start to worry about not being able to sleep and sleeping through my alarm. Anyone have tips on falling asleep quickly?

4. This week I discovered the band Glass Animals on Spotify, and have been loving the song "The Other Side of Paradise" off of their latest album. I'm not sure how I have never heard of them before considering they are my favorite genre of music.

5. 
Last Friday I attended my school's homecoming dance (yes we have homecoming in January, that's what happens when your school doesn't have a football team, you wait until basketball season!). The dress I wore is super affordable and available on Amazon Prime. I had ordered it a couple of years ago for a Fraternity Formal and thought this year's homecoming would be a great chance to wear it again. As you can sort of see in the photo on the right, the back is open with lace. The dress is super stretchy and comfortable and very flattering. I ordered a size 4 but if you're taller than me, it might be too short for you.

Thank God it's Friday!

5 Ways to Stay Motivated in the Summer

If you're anything like me, during the school year you completely overwork yourself so that once you get home for summer break, all you want to do is relax. I definitely overworked myself this year, but this summer I don't have time to simply relax. I work about 30 hours a week at my summer job, have to begin marketing prep for my job at school am studying for the LSAT, and am moving into my new house at school in July. Not to mention find ways to spend meaningful time with my family. After a week or so of recovering from school, I always get a burst of energy and have high hopes for my summer. here are some of the ways that I try and stay motivated: + Plan everything out. I'm a huge planner and love to see everything written out. I'm a religious user of Google Calendar and sync mine with my family's so we can see what is going on each week. Make a list at the beginning of the summer of all the things you want to do and plan the big stuff out in advance. Then...

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...

Looking Forward To...

Popping in to share some things I'm looking forward to in the next few weeks! + My first Dance Performance since 2016. This semester I am performing in a jazz/hip-hop number with our school's new dance company and I am so excited! We have our showcase on Friday and I can't wait to get on stage again. A lot of my friends didn't even know that I used to dance for 16 years, so it will be really fun to share this part of my life with them. + Warmer Weather. It has snowed two times in the past three days in Louisville. It's just been a light dusting each night, but I still can't believe it. I'm ready for the 70 degrees days of February to return ASAP! + St. Patrick's Day. My Mom's side of the family is obsessed with St.Patrick's Day (Mostly because of my Grandpa Jim) so I can't wait to celebrate this weekend! A friend and I are planning on going out in the afternoon to avoid that craziness that goes on that night. + Meditating. ...
