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!

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?

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 m...
