Stab a toothpick in me, I'm done!

Stab a toothpick in me, I'm done! I am sooo over school. It seriously feels like it's never going to end! The countless projects, exams, homework, presentations.. ugh! Just typing it out makes me exhausted. I know I'm complaining but seriously what is the point of all this! Nothing but stress and lack of sleep to get a piece of paper called "diploma." I'm not the type of person who enjoys school. I know there are actual unicorns who love to learn, but I'm just a regular ol' horse! 

I cannot wait till Spring Break! I've been dying to put up a blog post about my boots collection but I've never gotten to it! So sorry! Once things calm down and I'm sane again, I can finally put it up! 

But for now, know that I haven't abandoned my blog and I will have something... eventually. 

Ha! Sorry, I live to disappoint. Anyways! I'll just throw in some songs 

I've been loving since I've missed a lot of Music Mondays.

Why it's OKAY to be single

It's no secret that I'm totally terrible at relationships. I'm heavily guarded and my walls are built so high, I don't think it's even possible to helicop over it. I don't know how I got this way! I guess it begins with every boyfriend I ever had. To tell you the truth I didn't get any like-like feelings for them. Is that a terrible thing to say? I mean I liked them.. but not "like like" them. I always felt super suffocated and I just couldn't do it. It wasn't fair to them and it wasn't fair to me. 

I think it's absolutely ridiculous to be with someone who you think will become something if the spark wasn't there to begin with. I kind of learned that the hard way. 

It's not that I don't believe in love or whatever. It's just that I never really found anyone who's held my attention. I don't know how people do it! It's so hard to actually like-like a person. 

SO. Being that's it's Valentine's day and all. I just wanna say that IT'S OKAY TO BE SINGLE. If you're like me, being alone and single is not a bad thing. You don't need to be dependent on another person. It's okay to do things on your own. I go to the movies alone. Ain't not thang! You don't have to save a seat, you can sit anywhere you want, and see any movie! 

On this weird day, I'm telling you that it'll be okay. 

If you're like me, this day will not faze you because-

1. You're already awesome. 

2. You're not tied down to anything

3. You're saving money by not buying gifts 

4. Take out food is f-king delicious and you have it ALL to yourself. 

5. Dressing up and wearing a bra is too much work

At this age, I feel like I'm exploding in all different directions. I am a human octopus. I'm trying really hard to figure out my life and I think being single is actually helping me. I don't think it's selfish to think about myself right now. Those of you feeling that way, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE. I am with you. It's a tough time to be a 20-something trying to figure it out. So, don't worry so much about being with someone today.

Being alone doesn't mean sadness. Remember that. 

I know I kind of rambled on and I have no idea if anything I wrote makes sense but, oh well! :) 

Until next time

Things I Wish I Knew: Closet Edition

When you're twenty something, it seems like there's always an event going on. Whether it's 

going out for someone's birthday, going to grab drinks, a date, going to a interview- there's

alway something happening! One of the biggest things I wish I knew was to have

closet essentials in my wardrobe to help me out! So here, with all my wisdom (basically none) 

I want to share with you things I wish I knew! 

#1. Always have a blazer ready to go.

The blazer is perfect for every occasion. I can't begin to count how many times in college where we had to wear "business attire" for presentations, so definitely throw one in your

closet! Blazers are also perfect to make your messy look into super polished. 

Some blazers are super expensive, but Forever21 and H&M usually have great deals. 

#2. Get a Cocktail Dress

You never know when there's an event to go to! Seriously! I mean, sometimes there 

are like dinners where your friends want to dress "fancy" or "nice" and it's hard to

find something to wear, so be sure to have a spare! Plus, it's also perfect for a date night!

#3. A Flirty Top goes a long way

I can't stress how much a flirty top has helped me in sticky situations! If you're going to 

a bar or a casual dinner, definitely get something that works for anything. You'll totally look effortless. Let the top do the work. Not you! If you're doing something casual- go for a flirty top and throw on a pair of jeans and heels for that instant girly/sassy look. 

#4. Invest in a good pair of heels!

Speaking of heels, seriously invest in a good pair! These babies will get you through job interviews,

clubs, fancy events, dates etc. Not only will you feel gorgeous, you'll look the part! They'll

accentuate those legs you got and instantly give you a classy polished look.

#5. Don't be afraid to go comfy

I seriously wish I could wear pajamas all day-everyday! But, we live in a world where if we 

do that, people think we're psychotic. Anyways, definitely invest in a good and comfy pair of jammies.

Sleep is YOUR BEST FRIEND! So make the most of it. Now, I'm a girl who loves

to wear just a t-shirt but I have to wear something soft that I can totally snooze in! 

Anddddd... that's all I got for now! I definitely loved writing this. I'm seeing 

more editions of this coming soon! 

Until next time loves! x

Books, Shows, & Other Things

If you've been following me on Instagram, then you know

 I've been obsessing over some books and some new shows & have some exciting news! 

————

First let's start with the books I've been absolutely loving! 

I bought this book a couple of days ago and halfway reading it.. I realized it's the sequel to "If I Stay!!" Super spoiler alert since I did not read or watch the book/movie! I can't believe I didn't realize it sooner. Now I'm in like a mess. I don't know whether or not to go back and read the other one or just continue with this one. This one is actually really good. It's from Adam's perspective and I'm assuming it's picking up where they left off. So far it's keeping me hooked.

I've read other Gayle Forman books like "Just One Day" and "Just One Year"and I gotta say- I'm often frustated! Forman has a cooky way of writing. She writes about the two main characters spending one wonderful day together and then leaves you hanging to see if they ever find each other again! Hopefully this isn't the case for Where She Went. I'm crossing my fingers for a happy ending. 

Next onto shows! 

THE 100

HOLY GUACAMOLE. I don't even care if I spelled guacamole right because this show makes me all fritzy! I ABSOLUTELY love this show! I started watching it on Netflix and I'm sooo glad I did. I've binged watched both of season 1 & 2! I'm on 3 now. CW is constantly coming out with really great shows! The 100 is about earth being contaminated with radiation and how people have been sent to live in space for like 70+ years and now they sent 100 dilenquent teens to earth to see if it's survivable. 

The 100 find out it is but they're not alone! 

I don't want to bore you about the details of the show, but it's very gutsy and definitely not at all what you think. I love how strong Clarke is and how she and Bellamy have that leadership bond which is super lovable yet waiting to be torn apart. This show definitely makes me feel badass even though I'm not in it! HA! :P 

FRIENDS

Thank you Netflix! I've been watching from season 1 and now I'm on 5! I can't believe it. But then again it's FRIENDS! I adore this show so much. Even though it was made in the 90's, I love how timeless it is and how even now it's super relatable. There's nothing else to say other than PIVOT!

EXCITING NEWS! 

I don't know if it's exciting news for you, but for me it is! I'm walking the graduation ceremony this Spring! Woohoo! I have enough units to walk. Unfortunately I'll have to go back to finish my last two classes in the Fall but I'm so happy to be taking the stage I don't even care! I thought I had to wait a whole year to walk. I just have to buckle down and make sure to pass all my classes and everything will work out fine. Things are coming up so quickly, it's kinda scary. 

Well anyways, until next time loves!
