College is hard.

"I'MMMM GONNA SWINGGGGG FROM THE CHANDELIERRRR, FROM THE CHANDELIERRRRRR!

I should totally be studying for a Calculus test I have tomorrow. But what am I doing instead? Typing this blog post and listening to Chandelier by Sia on iTunes radio on my phone and also texting my friend Kelly.

"Why aren't you studying?" You may ask.

It's simple: I. Hate. Calculus. Yeah I know, it's my last test before my final and I'm not doing very well in Calc and I should definitely be trying to save my grade. But college is hard. And calculus is hard. And I'm like the worst procrastinator ever. So, I'll study in the morning before my test and hopefully do not completely horrible on my test. 

(currently dancing to Can't Stop Dancin' by Becky G while typing)

So yeah, I'm gonna probably go to sleep soon and wake up and try to cram a bunch of Calculus knowledge into my head before my test at 11.

G'night all, and don't be like me. Study!

I BOUGHT AN ENO! Review and pics!

Hey everyone! So, if you know anyone who's outdoorsy or if you go to college, you've most likely seen an Eno around. Enos are nylon hammocks that you can hang from pretty much anywhere! Some of my sorority sisters have them and I love them, so I bought one for myself! 

There are different kinds of Eno's you can buy. There's the Singlenest, which is 9'4" long and 4'7" wide. This one is more suitable for one person (obviously from the name!). There's also the Doublenest (the one I have!) that's 9'4" long and 6'2" wide. This one is more suitable for 2, or even 1 if you want more room! Or, if you want lots of room, there's also the DoubleDeluxe hammock which is 9'4" long and 8'4" wide! 

The hammocks even come in a convenient storage bag that is attached to the hammock so you can pack it up when you're done! It packs down super compact and very lightweight (the doublenest packed up weighs 19 oz!) The hammocks also have a 400lb capacity! 

The Eno's do not come with straps, as there are also a variety of straps you can choose from! I personally have the Atlas straps which are 9'1" long and have a lot more loops to hook your hammock into! These also have a weight limit of 400 lb (200 lb a strap!).

The Doublenest is $69.95, $10 more than the Singlenest, but you get more width and also more color options! The Atlas straps are also $29.95 but they are definitely worth it as you can put your hammock basically anywhere! 

REVIEW: 

I personally LOVE my Doublenest Eno! It's made of breathable nylon, so even on super hot days (like today), you still stay pretty cool! It's super easy to get in and out of and very comfortable! My mom has back issues and I got her to get in it today and she thought it was going to be really uncomfortable, but she was super comfy in it! I'm super glad I invested in this and I can't wait for the weather to be better next week when I go back to college from Spring Break and can hang my Eno up on the green and hang with my friends (literally!) 

Here are some pictures of my Eno and me in it! 

My hammock colors! I got the Retro Tri colored hammock! 

Packs up to about the size of a grapefruit, slightly bigger! 

The attached bag is in the colors of your hammock so it's super easy to
see how it is going to look! 

My Atlas Straps also come in a handy bag! 

This was earlier today in my Eno! It was about 79 degrees out with
an occasional 10 or so mph wind and I was nice and cool! 

Hammock selfie! 

So there you go! The Eno is definitely a great investment and if you like to camp or go outdoors, you can even camp in the Eno! They sell a ton of extra camping accessories for it as well! Their website is eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com! Also, if you live on a college campus with a ton of trees, they're awesome and a great way to study while being outside! You should see the Campus Green here at KSU when it's a nice day, Eno's EVERYWHERE! 

I'll have my April favorites video uploaded by the beginning of May, so be on the lookout for that later on this month! I might even post about how to survive college finals! Even though I'm a sophomore does not mean I'm any better at taking college finals! I might also do a Lilly Pulitzer haul since their new Target line is launching on the 19th and I will DEFINITELY be getting some stuff from that! 

Have a great week everyone!

Back to School!

Hey everyone! 

I recently started back up at college for my spring semester! This semester is gonna KICK MY BUTT! I've got some pretty hard classes going on so I probably won't be on as much as I'll also have work and sorority stuff to do! 

Here's my schedule for this semester!

• MWF: Gen Chem 2, 9-9:50 am
• MWF: Calc 2, 11-12:10 pm
• MW: World Lit, 3:30-4:45 pm
• T/TR: Criminal Investigations, 12:30-1:45 pm
• T/TR: Chorale, 2-3:15 pm
• Thursday only: Gen Chem 2 Lab, 5-7:45 pm

So yeah! As you can see, it's getting a little harder since I'm getting more into my classes for my major (Forensic Chemistry) so I'm probably not going to be on here much this semester and for that I do apologize! 

Hope you all have a good week!

Mini Haul!

Hey everyone! So yesterday I went shopping with my mom to get some new clothes for me. We went to Charming Charlie (although, I had just gotten off work so I didn't really go so much as my mom came to me!), Delia's (since they're going out of business and their clothes are on sale!), Hot Topic and the Disney Store. This is gonna be my mini haul post about what I got! 

Stars and Style Cardigan- Charming Charlie// Floral crop top,
bow back crop top, Skylar High Rise Skinny Jeans- Delia's

Elsa plush- Disney Store

Frozen Fair Isle Dress- Hot Topic

So that's my mini haul! There are links to things I could find so you can get them too if you'd like! I'll probably be back either this weekend or next week with a couple more posts! I go back to classes on Wednesday and I have sorority retreat this weekend as well! 

Have a good week everyone!

Busy Holiday Season!

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing great and, if you have one, your winter break is going great! 

I finished all of my finals for my third semester in college and I'm pretty happy with my grades! Work has been absolutely INSANE with the amount of customers and sales we've had! I am currently on day 4 of 9 straight days at work, which is actually not too bad, and I get a good paycheck next Friday so I'm definitely gonna be buying myself some after Christmas gifts for a job well done at school! 

The week of Christmas I will be doing OOTW posts on here and possibly a video to be posted on Youtube, as well as filming a December favorites video at the end of the month! I'm also going to be making an end of the year recap video of this year with tons of pictures from this year and I might post that on here so you guys can see what my life is like! 

I'll also be doing a Christmas haul on what I got for Christmas, what I bought myself, and some more stuff my parents are getting me at the beginning of January and such cause they don't have a lot of money for Christmas gifts right now! 

Be on the lookout for all of those and I'll talk to you guys again soon!

Sophomore year of College!

So, today (August 18th) I started my second year of college! I was super nervous but I'm actually really looking forward to what this semester has in store for me! (Although I am still nervous about ALL the work...)

Here's a peek at my school schedule! 

Calculus MWF from 11-12:10
Criminal Procedures MW from 12:30-1:45
General Chemistry MWF from 3-3:50
English 1102 (It's like the second English class, you take 1101 first) T/Thurs from 8-9:15 am
Chem Lab on Tuesdays from 11-1:45
Chorale T/Thurs from 2-3:15 

Then I've got sorority and work on top of all of that! AHHHHH.

I'm also working on an outfit of the week video for this week with all of my outfits for this week at school! That should be up sometime over the weekend!

Hope you all are having a great week and, if you're in school, an awesome school year so far!
