7 Things I Am Loving In College

Hello lovely readers! Yes, I have been away for a while, but that is because I have a thing called college. This past week has been very busy and I'm slowly, but surely getting through it. While I've been studying for five exams, these seven things have kept me going. First off is a Brita water bottle; this water bottle is super durable and has a filter system in it so I don't have to worry about using the sink for drinking water. I've been trying to drink as much water as I can throughout the day to keep me hydrated and to keep my skin healthy. The second thing I have been loving are my beats head phones. They block everything out. I love using these when I'm studying and I need to focus. Sometimes I just put them on without any music playing because they work so well! Another one of my favorite things on this list is of of course an food item: almond butter. This nut butter is the healthier option to peanut butter. While my skinny roommates chow down on JIF peanut butter, I stick to this and I'm happy with it!  It is the cure to any stressed out college student and it goes with anything.

In the past week, my skin has taken a turn for the worst. A visit from aunt flow, a full schedule, and greasy (but so worth it) pizza is the perfect combination for a skin outbreak. I have been using tea tree oil and Cetaphil to fix my skin. Every morning and night, I wash my face with Cetaphil and I have really seen an improvement in my skin. This product leaves my face feeling super soft and clean. It's a very gentle and simple cleanser that gets the job done! I use tea tree oil after cleansing my face. I dab a bit of this oil onto a cotton pad and apply it to any red spots or pimples. With the help of these two products and my daily moisturizer, my skin has been improving.

The last two things are essential if you attend a big university with a well known sports team. Football is a massive thing at my school and I always wear these two things on game days. The first one is pretty obvious: a game day shirt. Most students wear this shirt on game day to show school spirit. I tend to pair this t-shirt with some high-waisted jean shorts or cropped leggings. For ultimate comfort, I always wear Chacos to the game. After hours of tailgating, the students have to stand for what could be another four hours watching the game. These shoes are stylish and are very supportive for your feet. I got this pair this summer and I wear them with everything. These shoes have super high arches in them, so my feet never get too sore after standing on them for a long period of time.

So, there it is. These are a few of the things I have been loving this semester. Let me know what kinds of things you've been loving recently.

Here are a few more photos I took:

WILD EP


This week has been packed with excess amounts homework, football, almond butter, and my personal favorite: music. Since Halsey and Troye Sivan decided to drop their albums in the same week, I have taken it upon myself to binge listen whenever I get the chance. I have been a huge supporter of Troye for almost three years now. His old ep TRXYE was amazing, but WILD is even better. Don't let the innocent face and curly locks fool you, this kid has a breathtaking voice and a groundbreaking message. 
This mini album consists of six songs- WILD, BITE, FOOLS, EASE, THE QUIET, and DKLA. My favorites at the moment are WILD, BITE, and THE QUIET. Troye wrote on all of the songs with help from writers like Alex Hope and Hiew. If you haven't heard his music before, his sounds is like electro-pop. It sounds like pop with a bit of an edge to it. His album artwork is to die for. I mean, can he be any more creatively perfect?


In addition to the album, Troye has also decided to pull a Lana Del Ray/Marina and the Diamonds and release a series of music videos. SAY WHAT!? 


Yes. It is true. And his first music video is up here. This is a three-part series called The Blue Neighborhood. Troye explained in his livestream the reasoning behind this series. In our media, gay relationships are perceived as very sexual and Troye wanted people to see a more realistic portrayal of gay relationships. The term he used was "puppy love" and honestly it's the cutest music video ever. 


I am so incredibly proud of Troye. His lyrics are so real and down to earth. He has been such an inspiration to me these past few years and I can't wait to see where he goes. Let me know what you think!

Dorm Room Tour


It's that time again. I moved into college about a week ago and I'm finally settled in. This semester, we are living in a castle. Le Mans hall is the most legendary dorm on campus. It is absolutly beautiful. My roommates and I had a blast this past week decorating our little home. Our ceilings are super high and we have so much space. Since there are only three of us living in a quad (four person dorm) we have extra storage. Instead of using this storage for clothes or other necessities, we took it upon ourselves to turn the extra dresser into a pantry. One of my other favorite parts of the room is my little nook. I have my desk, bed, and painted canvases all tucked into the same corner. While my roommates have the other corner where one bed is lofted under another. Our futon is adorned with a multitude of throw pillows from T.J Maxx and World Market. It's a mix n'match kind of dorm, but we love it. I'm looking forward to the memories this year. Things like our late night trips to CyberCafe for frozen yogurt and Diet Coke, our movie marathons, and our countless dance parties are all things I will remember when I look back on my college years with my belles.










Hope you enjoyed this photos.
