Want Ad's

There are so many items that I would just LOVE to have, BUT....I need to find a job first =/.
Hehehe.
Anyways, I'm keepin' high hopes that I'll obtain a job for the upcoming school year. I believe that there is a high possibility that I'm staying in my college town even when the summer comes. {* fingers crossed for an internship*}

Back to the topic:
Most loved items that are at the top of my "want" list.




These are all so cute!
But for now, it's looking through the want ad's for me...

Rest in Peace Amy Winehouse

Spring/Summer Cleaning

I've been home for a total of 2, almost 3, weeks and unpacking is still driving me crazy. Back in my dorm it was so easy to be nice, neat, and organized with everything, but when combining all of my stuff from college with the things I already had at home....let's just say it was a big mess.

COLLEGE PEOPLE: Do NOT let this happen to you!

I have a couple of tips that can make Spring/Summer Cleaning easier

1. Give away old clothes. You know you don't need/wear them anymore, so you might as well give them away to charity. In my area, there's a business called Charity Clothing and they drive around in my neighborhood from time to time in case people have clothes to give away. Goodwill, of course is always a good choice. If you're looking to make a little change in the process, you can always sell your clothes to Plato's Closet or have a good old fashion garage sale.


2. Organize, organize, ORGANIZE! 



I cannot say this enough. It's important for the room to be clean and clutter free, and what better way to keep it that way than to organize. At the beginning of my freshman year in college, I had to buy the plastic, stackable organizer bins to keep my stuff organized, and I'm so thankful for them now that I moved back in my house for the summer. I'm now using them to hold my accessories from bags/purses and hair accessories to scarves. Also, for those books that you might need to hold on to for another semester, invest in a bookshelf so that you always know where they are.





Hope this helps!

Letter to a Future College Freshman

As prom and graduation start to fade away, you come to the realization that pretty soon (sooner than you think) you'll be walking around on a college campus. This is a whole new world for you; a place for new ideas and opportunities to come your way. Don't be scared! I was at first. Unsure of how things will turn out, what I really wanted to do with my life and intimidated by others around me, but this isn't the mindset that you need to be in when you get here. Be open. Open to new things and people. Don't follow the crowd just because what they are doing seems like the "cool" thing to do. Be yourself, cuz nobody else can be. Enjoy yourself. It will definitely get stressful along the way, there's no doubt about that, but you have to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel; No Matter What. Though things will get tough, Don't Give Up. You've made it this far, you can make it even further. I have faith in you.

ITEM MOST WANTED: Floral Doc Martens

I have been wanting a pair of Doc Martens for a while now, but have been too chicken to buy a pair. At first I wasn't sure what kind I should really get that would be perfect for my style...but then...I saw these...and I absolutely fell in love <3. Not only is the floral print feminine, but the laces are too! I don't only want them, I need them. Ok, I won't go that far, but they're definitely at the top of my list =).
What do you guys think?
