5 Tips for Downsizing your Closet for College
1. Only take the current/upcoming season: More than likely, you will be moving in fall semester. Therefore, it is probably still going to feel like Summer in the first weeks you are there (assuming you live in the South). Because of this, I will be bringing summer clothes along with a few transition pieces like a pair of jeans and a jacket I can easily layer with; maybe even a light sweater just in case. What I am saying is, you will probably go home before the winter weather rolls around so you do not need to pack clothes for all seasons. If your moving in in August, leave the…

College/Dorm Haul
Bedding: Twin XL Comforter: Most college dorm beds are a size Twin XL, so that is the size bedding you will need to purchase. I bought a white comforter so I can use it for many years even if I want to change up the theme of my room because all I will have to do to the bed is change the pillows! Twin XL Sheets: I got two different sets so if one is dirty I do not have to rush to wash it. I got white sheets with pink flamingos and a set of pink and white chevron sheets. Pillows: Since my comforter is all white, the pillows…

How I Spend a Vacation Day at the Beach + My ootd!
How my beach trips with my mom normally go is we spend nearly every day on the beach and the day it rains we go shopping! Most of the time, the day goes like this: we spend the morning on the beach when it is not too hot, go in for lunch, then spend the rest of the day at the pool! Sometimes we go out to dinner and some days we just cook! When my friends are at the beach too, we like to do things like go to the outlets or shops around the town in the evenings! When I am with my friend’s family, we tend to…

“Don’t Quit your Day Dream”
One of my favorite teachers always encouraged us to pursue what we love rather than what is practical because you will be more happy poor and following your passion than rich going to work hating your job every day. He taught use that if you are passionate about art, then pursue art! Even if your parents do not approve and want you to do something they believe is financially stable like become a doctor or lawyer, it is your future! If you have no desire to have a future in that career, do not do it. He taught us that the money will work itself out. The same thing with…
