Finals are upon us.

...coming ever too quickly are what every college student dreads the most: FINALS.

     Finals week at my college is next Monday thru Thursday. Unfortunately for me, 3 out of my 5 finals are next Monday, so this won't be a fun weekend for me. I also need to start packing up a month's worth of stuff soon. I leave for the airport shortly after my last final next Thursday afternoon. Crazy to think that in 8 days I'll be back in Maine!

     I won't be blogging anymore until after Christmas break begins next week because of all of the craziness. To any fellow college students that read my blog- best of luck to you on your exams! Study hard and rest up.

     I leave you with a few Christmas songs that I love. FYI "Merry Christmas Darling" by the Carpenters is my favorite Christmas song ever. If I listen to it when I'm in a sad mood it almost makes me tear up because its so beautiful.












Much love and many blessings to you all!

My life on this Monday.

     The past couple weeks have been so crazy and busy for me, and I apologize for not posting more! I have wanted to do some fashion posts but right around the time that I started this new blog my old camera broke. It was just a basic Kodak digital camera, and I'd had it for six or so years, so it lived a good and long life in camera years. :-) However no camera meant that it was difficult to take pictures of my outfits! But fear not, outfit posts will be appearing soon because my sweet parents bought me a new digital camera for my birthday! It's a little Canon and much nicer than my old camera... all that's left to do is to figure out how to use it. :-)

     I've also had a ton of homework lately. This week I have a paper, presentation and huge test... along with other smaller homework assignments and readings and textbooks. I'm stressed to the max right now and also trying to fight homesickness. For the first few weeks of being at school I was so excited to be settling into my new home that I barely had time to miss my old one. But after my birthday it really started to hit me how far away I am from my friends and family back home. I try to cure homesickness by staying busy and involved at school (like joining different clubs and going to activities), and also by skyping with my closest friends back home. If any of y'all have great cures or ways to beat homesickness- do share! I'm always open to new ideas. :-)

     And things are getting finalized for my first give-away with this new blog! I do have some fabulous sponsors lined up, but if you have an Etsy shop or know of someone who does, please pass on the info that I'm looking for a few more sponsors for a fun fall give-away to host within the next couple weeks!

   I leave you with a few songs that I've been enjoying lately. For those of you that are new to this blog, you'll quickly learn that I have varried music tastes. My all-time favorite music is 90s/early 2000s pop (such as Britney Spears's old music and the Backstreet Boys!) but I also enjoy some light rock, dance-pop, country and Christian music.

Dido-Here With Me, Keith Urban-For You, Little Big Town-Pontoon, and Conor Maynard-Vegas Girl.
