Happy Summer Everyone!

Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer so far! Mine has definitely been busy, but it hasn't lacked in fun! 

I went on a road trip adventure with my friends, went on a sisterhood retreat with my music fraternity, had my 22nd birthday, worked lots (& even got a promotion!), and had a great 4th of July! 

Classes are gonna start back for the school districts in a few weeks which will give me a couple weeks before college classes start back up to do some last minute shopping without rushes! My cousin is joining me at KSU this semester & I'm super excited to show him around and get him to fall in love with the school like I have. 

I'm also gonna try to post weekly (I know I said that before, serious this time!) so if you have requests of posts you'd like to see, comment below! Tomorrow when I get home from work I'm gonna try to do a What's in my Purse with my Kavu bag I got for my birthday so I'll film the video and make the blog post and hopefully have that up by the weekend! I'll also be doing a What's in my Backpack for back to school and maybe a Back to School haul as well. I'm gonna try to get back into doing monthly favorite videos/posts too so be on the lookout for those as well as a possible OOTW for the first week of classes! 

Stick around because there's plenty of content to come your way! (I promise!) 

Have a lovely week everyone,

Thanksgiving Break!

Hello everyone! 

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, school and work has kept me REALLY busy! This week is my Thanksgiving break from school and I am so glad that break is here! I still have schoolwork to do, but it's nice to just be able to chill for the most part for a few days. 

Tuesday night I'm going to see Moana with my friend Christina and I'm super stoked! I am soooo excited to see this movie! 

Thursday is Thanksgiving and my dad's niece and her family are coming down from Chicago for the weekend! I, of course, will be working Thanksgiving night (retail probs) but I have an amazing group of co-workers I will be with so I am super stoked. 

Next week when I come back from break will be the last week before finals so I will definitely be too busy to do any updates until after I finish my finals! 

I'll also try to do a Black Friday haul of whatever I can get this weekend in between working! 

I'm going to head to bed so I hope everyone has a wonderful week and a very happy Thanksgiving! 

****AND PLEASE REMEMBER: If you go shopping on Thanksgiving night for Black Friday deals, please don't be condescending to the workers by saying "poor you, having to work on Thanksgiving." You deciding to come out shopping and be away from YOUR family is part of the problem. I would love to be at home watching football with my dad, but because businesses want to make more money, I have to be at work on a holiday. So please be respectful of the retail workers you encounter and do not try and fight. The customer may always "be right," but sometimes you have to accept that you are, in fact, wrong. The workers know what is on sale, what's not, if you can use coupons, if coupons are expired, etc. PLEASE BE COURTEOUS.****

Okay, soapbox rant over! 

Have a wonderful week everyone!

First day of Junior year of college!

Hello everyone! Today was my first day of my junior year at Kennesaw State and I had a pretty amazing day! I only had two classes today (8am and 9:30am) so I was done at about 10:30 since our professor let us out early! 

I had my Police in America class for my Criminal Justice minor and my Communications class which is a Gen Ed class. I love my professor for my P.I.A class because I've had him for two other classes and he's absolutely amazing. I also love my professor for my Comm class because she's hilarious and plays music before class! 

I'm super excited for tomorrow; I've got Biology, History since 1877, and Chorale! Then, my Bio lab starts next Wednesday and I'll have that every Wednesday until the end of the semester. 

So far, I've got my friend Meredith in 3 of my classes, my sorority sister Virginia in my history class, and my Big in my Biology class!

I've also got a busy semester with my sorority full of sisterhood, service projects, and tons of new activities with the new pledges we'll be getting this semester! I can't wait for my little to get her own little and experience all the fun that is Big/Little week and Reveal! 

I'll try and update as the semester goes on but, unfortunately, I can't make any promises! 

Have a great week guys!

Update + Pura Vida Rep!

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I updated! I'm now another year older and slowly working my way to feeling like more of an adult. I recently got some new bedding so I may do a room makeover type post soon (as soon as I clean and get organized cause I'm kind of lazy!) 

Also, I am now a representative for Pura Vida bracelets! If you don't know what that is, it is a company that sells handmade bracelets from Costa Rica. The bracelets are beautiful and all relatively priced! (Most are $4-5 with more intricate ones being a little more expensive!) They have men's, kids, and other accessories as well! 

My favorite part of Pura Vida is their charity collection. They have over 200 bracelets for different charities at $5 a piece and $1 from each bracelet sold goes to that charity! I ordered the Joyful Heart Foundation one as that foundation is one that I am very glad to support. Mariska Hargitay, star of NBC's Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, started the charity after receiving fan mail from victims telling her their stories, some for the very first time. The Joyful Heart Foundation helps with bringing an end to domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse. They also have a movement entitled No More which is to help end the victim blaming with rape. She is also working with the government to help test thousands of rape kits across the country that are in backlog.

Hope you all have a wonderful week and I'll post again soon!
