Rough Day, Rough Semester

This blog has lost much of what it used to be due to my loss of time.  I just want to say for the record I do care about this blog and I am still going to be posting to it just not as often as I would like to.

So I made it into a sorority Gamma Phi Beta and I love my new sisters more than anything especially my twin.  its not official we aren't twins yet but we are so much alike it has just kind of stuck with us.

Im making some major decisions In my life recently and I like where I think my life is headed.  I am not ready for the world to know exactly what my plans are when my own family doesn't know half of it yet. 

some of the things I can tell you is that I am planning on studying in Hawaii next spring!!!(cue happy dancing) When I was there for the pro bowl I fell in love with the island and I would take any chance givin to go back there. 

And I have yet to get an exam grade of higher than a 75% so in other words shit is getting real at University of South Carolina and I am in for it.

New school, New house, New life, Same blog

Ahhh ok I am severely sorry!  I have been saying that alot in my last couple of posts and that makes me sad I do not get to post as much as i would like to anymore due to going back to school, which unlike most of you, I never stopped.  I went to college for the Fall of 2013, Spring 2014, Summer 2014 and now Fall of 2014 someone just shoot me.  I did however end up passing all of my classes this summer (YAY!)

So let me tell you about this new life first off it is hella stressful living on your own I am almost 20 and I feel like I am just starting to be an adult!  My house (yes i said house not apartment) is super nice I love it along with my 3 absolutely wonderful roommates.  I started school two weeks ago and most of my classes are ok except for my math class I am stuck in a math class full of FRESHMEN (no insult meant) I was a freshman last year there's nothing wrong with being one, however there is a certain level of unease being in a class surrounded by people younger than you.  Mind you I have done this before in high school when i transferred, it is just not wanted.  I am taking Ancient Greek (you may look at me like I am stupid now)  however i am genuinely interested in it! It makes me happy (though it is definitely hard)!  I literally just ran across campus because i only have 20 min in between two classes that are literally probably atleast a good two miles away from each other.  Hectic I tell ya!

Anyways so my style in the past month has gotten a freakin makeover from hell and back.  Wondering why?  Firstly because I am now in a sorority(please refrain from rude and hurtful posts you are always welcome to your opinion I only ask you don't trash me for being in one) I am very proud of where I ended up and I couldn't be happier with my new sisters.  I am a proud member of Gamma Phi Beta and I wouldn't change it either.  However, when you do get a bid you have to hold yourself to a higher standard.  I am now being pushed to be the best part of myself and I can't wait for the outcome.  Now another reason my style has changed would be just the area I live in.  Nikes and T-shirts (my go to option) is more acceptable since most people in the area hike the campus as a pass time lol.  Another thing is during gameday it is a must that you wear a black &/or garnet and a pair of cowboy boots.  So my style has not really changed but what i wear of my clothes has.

On another note the weather here in Columbia is crazy mess.  Its been in the high 90's for the past two weeks and when hiking campus is your pass time it makes looking decent for class a major problem.  Speaking of how about me going to class this morning looking like i rolled out of bed(cause thats exactly what i did) in a jacket and jeans remember that high temp yeah my Iphone told me it would rain today....lying piece of shit.  Anywho i sat in the same seat next to same person i always had but something was different today.  I had been more social I talked and when the guy next to me was talking to me I was getting nervous....guys he was adorable.

So with all of that said
I love yall and i hope yall have a wonderful day loves

OMG....Freaking out!

I know you all must hate me sooo much and I will continue to apologize many times through out this entire post (Psst Im Sorry).  I have been so busy with preparations.  Guess what???? I got accepted into The University of South Carolina!!!!!!!! IM officially a Gamecock!  So incase you guys don't know too much about big universities they are extremely expensive and so my whole summer I have been freaking out money wise $$$$$ Tuition alone is going to cost me an arm and a leg!  The moral of the story study hard kids make good grades and get scholarships.  

Summer school....now that's something I am not very happy about!  Im taking three classes and saying they are easy would be an understatement!  Between Math, Philosophy, and Human Sexuality I am about to murder myself.  Not to mention my asshole of a professor (ever dealt with one of those? they are the best right)

 Someone save me from the torture!

 

Summer Post #1

IT'S SUMMER!!!

 

I can't believe it's finally summer time! Maybe some of you are still in school and I hope that you are just as excited as I am!  Summer is the time that gives us freedom to do whatever.  Although my summer will look nothing like the one above I can hope that all of you have an awesome summer.

 So since it is now summer time I have decided to add 2 more pages to my blog!!! and I am really excited about both of them and hope that you guys are too!

• Barefoot Summer - For all of the summer updates and anything summer related you can find it here.  Summer drink recipes, Beautiful beach visits, Tanning mishaps, and more.

Hair obsession

So lately I have been really obsessed with DIY hair recipes and guess what?  I can fit all of my hair into a ponytail now!!!!!!!!!!! I may be a little too excited about that fact Oppsies.
So I have found a few things I'd like to share with you guys.

One of the best things for your hair is Olive Oil.....I know this sounds crazy but if you put 2 tablespoons of this in your hair for 30-40 minutes with a hot towel wrapped around it before your shower It can heal split ends, and promotes growth.  I have done this for two nights in a row and I can say my hair has never been so soft.  I have heard people use coconut oil since I started researching however I prefer olive oil, with coconut you have to melt it first.  I also much prefer the consistency of olive oil.

I also made an all natural hair lightener you can find it on my other blog: DIY Beauty Recipes 


I would love to hear from you guys! What are your favorite DIY beauty recipes?

College life = no life

So maybe you are in college, maybe you aren't.  Well let me tell you one thing not everyone's college life is like in the movies.  Actually no one I know gets to party that much and stay in school for longer than a year.  I have gone to zero parties my freshman year of college and already I have failed one class and I am on the brink of loosing my scholarship......

So now I have to take summer classes and those well they don't sound like the most fun things to be doing all summer, but we do what we have to inorder to stay in school.  So I looked up some tips on how to avoid the situation I am currently in (I don't think you want advice from me)

 

1. Don't be a procrastinator

        I for one have a huge problem with this I always manage to convince myself that I can do things last minute and then I either have to settle for a lower grade or take the no sleep option (I love sleep so that is the last resort)  So make a calendar for yourself and make sure you stick by it don't let yourself be talked out of doing work.

 

2. Turn off your phone for 1 hour 1/2 each day

        This is the hardest one for me I always like to be in touch with my friends but if you just turn your phone off for 1 hour and 1/2 and commit yourself to doing work you will be surprised at what you get done.  And for those who are about to ask me about Pandora? NO!!!! you'll hear your little notification ring go off and be too tempted.  My advice if you are working on a laptop go to Pandora's website and use that.

 

3. Block out distractions

          I didn't know about this until recently but there are actual websites you can go to and you can block social media websites and all kinds of things!  Just go on google and type in block websites for studying/ study helper block websites whichever you prefer.

 

4. And last but not least don't be afraid to ask for help

          I didn't want to believe I could be wrong and not be able to do all of this on my own so when anyone told me I was doing it wrong I became headstrong and shut them down.  Don't do this its the worst thing you could actually do and trust me it wont help in the least.

 

I am now taking three classes this summer because no one told me I was being a stubborn pig head so I hope that maybe this will prevent someone from making the same mistakes.

 

 

Got any freshman college horror stories you want to share send them to my email and ill post them for you!
