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!

Busy busy life!

YOU GUYS! Life has been so crazy recently! 

School is hectic. I'm on Spring Break right now (one of the last few schools in the country!) and then I've only got 2 and a half weeks before finals. (AHHH.) My sorority has been doing a lot of events and service projects recently and those have kept me busy as well! Also, work is also another thing keeping me busy as well! Sometimes I think I'll have time for something, but really I won't! 

I'm planning on doing an April favorites video (I've already started my list!) so be on the lookout for that at the end of the month! 

I promise, once school is out, I will be posting more!

Have a good week guys!

Is it too late for a New Years Resolution?

Hey everyone! 

I'm just randomly sitting here watching Bring It on Lifetime, and I got to thinking about some things I'd like to do in the rest of 2015 and next year in 2016. So, here's my (slightly late) New Year's resolutions!
  • go see more Broadway musicals at The Fox Theatre in Atlanta 
  • walk (not run) more 5k's
  • possibly work my way up to running a 5k! (or at least part of one!)
  • go to Playlist Live next year in Orlando and meet my favorite Youtubers
  • possibly do the Disney Princess 5k next year!
  • or just go back to Disney World in general! 
So there's my random New Year's Resolutions! Did any of you have New Year's Resolutions? Are you still working on them or have you abandoned them? Haha! Or, are you like me and just decided on a New Year's Resolution? 

Lemme know in the comments below!

Have a good weekend everyone!

NEW CAMERA!

Hey everyone! So, my financial aid refund went in recently and so I've been getting a few things. And today, I bought myself a fancy new CAMERA! 

I haven't had a new camera since I was maybe in middle school so this is a big deal! And, it means I can stop using my crappy webcam camera for my videos! 

I got the Canon SX400 IS from Walmart for $149.00. It's got a ton of cool features on it and it shoots in 720p HD video and it has 30x optical zoom! 





It's a DSLR (but not as big as most!) and it's pretty lightweight and takes really good pictures! Some of the cool features include monochrome pictures, a fish eye type style, and of course, long exposure and shutter speed for taking sparkler pictures! 

So, hopefully when I get a tiny lull in my classes, I'll do a haul video of all the things I've been purchasing and what else I'm going to get with my money! 

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,

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!
