Name Change!

Hi everyone!
As I earlier wrote in this post, I changed the name of this blog. Well, that didn't last long, the original name is back! Sorry for what I'm sure is a lot of confusion! But, sometimes the original idea is the best one!



So, I have decided to make a little change to things around here. Actually, it's a pretty big change! As I'm sure you've noticed, I've changed the name of the blog to Pink Prepster. I did this because this was my original idea for a blog but I decided on the other name instead. Now, however I have decided to go with my original idea because I feel that it fits the contents of this blog more. Not to worry! Everything else from content to location, everything else is still the same! In fact, I actually have some really exciting things planned for the near future!

If you don't share my belief that this change is for the good feel free to leave me a comment below! I'd love to know what you all think! Otherwise, I think this is going to go really well! (I hope!)

Candle Jar

So, Mason Jars are just the best things for crafting!
This week I decided to buy some candles for Christmas time for my dorm (No, I'm not allowed to have candles in my room but don't tell my RA!) But I also wanted something to put the candle in to keep it safe and protected, so I decorated a Mason Jar!
I started with

• a plain clear Mason Jar
• Paper Star cut-outs
• Modge-podge
• Silver Glitter
• A candle of you're choice (optional) 

So what I did was I printed and cut out pictures of small stars. They are easy to get if you use the shapes on Microsoft Word. Then I glued the Stars to the Mason Jar with the mode-podge to the outside of the jar. Once the stars were all on. I covered the outside of the jar in modge-podge, including over the stars. Then I poured the silver glitter all over the outside of the jar. Then I let everything set for a few minutes, and I used tweezers to pull off the stars. With the star windows open, I placed the candle inside of the jar and lit the candle. I think it came out pretty well!

Fall Outfits

When I was younger, I never liked clothes during fall. I always wanted to wear bright colors all the time, but now I love fall clothes! There is just something about them because you don't have to wear a heavy coat, but you can still wear comfy sweaters and scarves. So, today I have decided to share with you some of my latest outfits.
These are what I wore to class the past couple of days. I like to look nice when I go to class because it makes me focus better. Whenever I wear sweatpants (and I LOVE sweatpants!) I just wanna curl up and take a nap, which during class, is usually frowned upon. So this is what I chose

Then last night I had to dress in Business Casual for a sorority function. So I stuck with my military jacket because it is my absolute favorite thing for fall. I paired it with a dress that I usually wear for summer. I bought it last spring from Nordstrom. The military jacket I got this summer form J.Crew. 

One of my favorite things in fall is to pair a summer/spring dress with a fall sweater or jacket. It gives me a way to keep things colorful. I also find it easier to find dresses that I like during the spring and summer months cause more dresses are sold. By pairing the dresses with more neutral fall jackets or sweaters it also gives me an excuse to continue wearing the same dresses (yay savings!)

Calendar

So today, I was feeling rather crafty and ofcourse I got the idea from Pinterest! So I decided to make myself a new calendar for my room!
I started with a 11x14 inch picture frame. You can use any size you want, I chose this size because it didn't seem too small nor too large. I also bought two sheets of sparkly paper for a border as well as a 11x8inch piece of sparkly white paper. I bought everything from Michaels.

 I used the smaller white piece of paper for the place to write everything and the sparkly pink paper (which is fantastic by the way!!) as the background. I wrote on the white paper to make the boxes and areas for dates and I wrote the name of the month above on the pink border. The white paper was placed in front of the pink paper so it could be seen and the pages of pink were cut to size to fit in the frame behind the paper. Then I used an Expo marker to write the dates and the month. Anything else you choose to write is up to you!

Personally I chose to write different assignments and big things that are happening that week. (obviously I don't have everything yet because it would be a lot more full!)

If I were to do it again:

• I would make sure to have 5 rows for weeks or not write the days of the week on the actual paper
• I would make the entire thing the calendar and not have the boarder so the boxes would be bigger to write it (but I wanted that pink paper!)

Other than that I am extremely happy with the way it turned out!

What's your favorite craft? Comment below! I'd love to know!

Fed Up

It's official I am done trying with this girl. Last night I was forced to sit with my RA, my roommate, and my 2 suitemates and talk about our room. It was the biggest waste of time in my life. I tried to explain how I felt like it wasn't my room and that I was walking on eggshells all year trying to keep this girl happy, and her response was "same". Everything I said, she would say that she felt the same way. Keep in mind that I would speak eloquently and articulate everything that I felt, she just said she felt the same way. Oh really, how do you feel? I dare you to share an idea that is actually original and not just simply out of my mouth! Now keep in mind after the meeting where she said how she never feels welcome in the room, she goes in the room and stays there for the rest of the night. Meanwhile, I avoided my room at all costs since I still didn't feel comfortable. I spent two hours crying over how upset I was and hiding in my suitemate's room. Even after I knew she was asleep I was still to anxious to go in. So, tell me how are our feelings the same again?
When I found out that I had to go to this meeting I was about to scream. So I talked to a friend who is also an RA in my building, just unfortunately not on my floor. When I told her what was going on, she said that it was most likely because she put in for a room transfer and so now they have to do this. OMG HALLELUJAH!!! I can only dream that this is true. So now if that is what happened the RA will be checking in with us for the next week, and if nothing changes, SHE'S GONE! I might throw a party if that happens.... So I have decided that I am just done trying. That girl never tries to be nice to me. She just throws hissy-fits and acts all passive aggressive. So, I'm done. I will be polite, I will answer when spoken to, and I will not be rude, but I will no longer spark any type of conversation with her because to be quite honest, I could really care less about hearing anything she has to say. Espicially since all she ever talks about is herself. I have tried long enough. This girl is making me miserable in a space that is supposed to be half mine, so I owe her nothing. Not once has she ever tried anything to make things better, so if she wants to its her turn because I'm done.

The Roomate Struggle Continues!

So, I have decided (obviously with no bias of course!) that I should be considered one of the best roommates ever! I am a neat person, I'm a quiet person, I clean EVERYTHING, and most of the time I'm never even in my room!! Like actually though, my roommate is LUCKY to have me! Meanwhile she:

• Turns off all the lights at 10pm EVERYNIGHT
• Is ALWAYS in the room! 
• Pretty much always just watching netflix
• She doesn't clean anything! 
• She complains that things are dirty!
• She wakes up at 8 am EVERY morning!

Now the one thing that really is bothering me this week is the trash. Now Sunday, I spent my whole day cleaning our room and bathroom (she went home over the weekend), now before that our trash in the bathroom had been rather full and I had meant to dump it but I just ran out of time. Now it has been an additional 3 days and still the trash has NOT been dumped! Like actually though what else are you doing that you can't run downstairs? Now, I know what you're thinking, "Oh if its bothering you just dump the it" and you're right, but THATS NOT THE POINT! The point of it is that I always do everything! I clean, I usually take out the trash, so why on the week where I'm not in my room for 5+ hours a day, can you not simply take out the trash?? I know she's not doing anything! So now I'm just waiting! I'm waiting to see if she ever does to it to begin with and if she miraculously does... how long will it take? I've stopped using that trashcan and instead use my separate one that I keep by my desk, so she can't even say that it's my trash. Omg, I dare her to say something about me not taking it out, I might loose it! I think I would actually flip out! 

Ugh, the struggle never ends.......
