My Life in Boxes

Hey Lovelies!!!

So this past week, I finished my first year of college and moved back home. This past year has definitely been the best year of my life. I've met so many amazing people and grown so much as a person. I've made the best friends I could ask for and I know that we're going to be friends for a LONG TIME. And I think it's because of my friends that I've gained a ton of self-confidence and have become way more friendly and outgoing. And to think that back in December I wanted to quit school. I can't help but think how different my life would be right now... So, if any of you feel like school isn't for you, give it a chance because it will get better!

Now that I'm home, I'm already missing all my college friends! It's really strange to be back home alone. I can't look forward to our group meals in the dining hall at 12:20 and 6:00 every day. It's so different that we're already planning a huge pool party for later this summer for a huge mid-summer reunion. And we're all counting down the days already!

I'm also really sad to be leaving my job at Aeropostale. Well, actually me and my friend are transferring to the one closer to us for the summer, but it's still not the same. The people that I work with at the Aero near school are the nicest, coolest group of people I've ever met! I literally love every single one of them! A few of us have already made plans to meet up during the summer because 4 months apart is just too long!

Other than missing all of my friends, it is pretty nice to be home. Sleeping at home is so peaceful and quiet and I actually feel fully rested for the first time in months. Eating is so much better at home too! Everyone was so sick of dining hall food that being at home is like being in a gourmet kitchen. The only downsides being having to cook your own food and not having all of your favorite friends with you.

The most annoying part of moving back home was definitely packing everything up. I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't even gotten the chance to unpack everything yet. So for now, I'm living out of boxes and suitcases. My room is the biggest mess I've ever seen. Tomorrow is the first day that I actually have time to do some unpacking and laundry (THANK GOD!!!) and I can't wait. I have OCD so you can imagine how much anxiety I've had just being in my room these past few days. The excitement of getting my room cleaned up and back to normal is unreal!

I'm sorry that this wasn't one of my normal beauty blog posts. I've had a lot going on this week between finals, packing, and moving back home so I didn't have time to prepare for anything. So I figured I'd update you all on what's happening. And now that I'm home, I'll have some pretty great blog posts coming your way very soon! So get ready for that!!! Anyways, I'm off to bed but I'll be back next Sunday as usual! And until then, stay beautiful!!!

Random Updates...

Hey Lovelies!!!

It's Sunday so it's time for my weekly post! Unfortunately, I've hit a major "blogger's block", as I like to call it. I didn't have anything planned... And I've been thinking all day of what I could post about, and thought of nothing. :( So, I'm going to just have a little update post. I like these types of posts, because it's a bit personal, and maybe you can all learn something new about me from it! So, here we go!

First of all, I'm in college, so we have Spring Break midway through March. So I have one week of classes and then I get to relax for a week! I'm so excited!! I'm not going anywhere fun, but I'm just ready to be home and get to hang out for a week. I'll also be able to get to see all my friends and family from back home, which I'm most excited about. So, I just have to get through this week and my mid-terms/tests and then I'll be free!!!

Second thing: I've recently started working at Aeropostale! I'm so excited to be working and making money, because it's been going fast (being in college without money is not fun at all). Everyone at the store is super amazing and friendly! We have so much fun when we're working, it makes it so much more enjoyable. Plus I now get discounts, so I can stock up on my Bethany Mota Collection clothes. Compared to my other job, where I wasn't allowed to talk to other employees, couldn't leave my station, and barely got any hours, Aeropostale is such a huge improvement (almost 100%). The only thing that annoys me is having an "on-call shift" where you may or may not be working. So far, I haven't had to go in on an on-call shift, but it's only a matter of time... I'm not complaining though, because that's more money for myself!

My favorite update: my birthday is in 9 days!!!! (March 18) I'll be turning 19, which isn't the most exciting age, but I always look forward to my birthday, as everyone does. And, luckily, I'll be home for Spring Break for my birthday (YAY!). I'm not really sure what I want for my birthday but I'm just really excited!!!

And my final update... A while back, I posted pictures of my dorm room. And up until today, that's exactly how my dorm room looked. So, today I rearranged the room while my roommate was home (YAY!- We haven't been on the best terms ever since coming back from Winter Break...). Anyways, I think it's the fact that the weather has been in the 40s/50s the past couple of days instead of 20s/30s. It finally feels like Spring so I did my Spring Cleaning today. So, here's some pictures of what it looks like:

I think that it looks a lot neater and more spacious than the previous set up which you can see here!!

Let me know what you think of my new set up! I know this isn't the most entertaining post, but I quite like update posts, so hopefully one of you like them as well! If anyone has any thing they'd like to see me post, let me know in the comments, and I'll do my best to do it! I have something planned for next Sunday and the Sunday after (they weren't quite ready for today and require me to be home) but I'll try and get some exciting, new content coming your way ASAP!! As always, stay beautiful!!!
