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.......

It's Big Week!!

So the time has finally come! I'm getting a big!! I love being in a sorrority! Best part about getting a big? I get presents everyday all week! They're supposed to also serve as clues but really they're just cute things to keep us occupied and to build the suspense for the big reveal on Friday! 

This is the first thing I got on Monday. It was delivered to my door! It has Reese's and chocolate and twix and everything! And not to mention it's so cute! 

This was delivers to me today at dinner. It has my initial (which is now above my bed!) and a t shirt with the Alpha Mu Sigma letters on it! Granted I'm not allowed to wear it until next week... But still! My big I guess is just a rebel ;) 

Ahh I don't even know who it is yet but I already love my big!!

Never Ending Homework

I swear homework just doesn't end. No matter how much you've done that day there is always something else that's due. So, I decided I would give out some of my best tips on how to stay organized and (partially) sane while dealing with the never ending pile of homework.

My Weekly Homework List

1. DONT PROCRASTINATE! I know that everyone has been hearing this for probbably as long as they have been in school, but it's so true! I used to always procrastinate in high school and I still got good grades! So why would college be different? I was so WRONG! Everything you do in college is important. No assignment takes 5 minutes, so you can't save it till the day before, or worse the day of! 
2. Keep a to do list! I LOVE lists! They let me know what it is I have to get done. They also keep me calm! I like knowing what needs to be done and to see it, rather than just keeping an abstract list in my head that is always changing.
3.  HAVE FUN! Remember you're in college. Although homework is a big part (I mean it is technically school!), it still isn't everything. Don't just sit in you're room all day (you don't want to be my roommate!). Go have fun! It makes the homework, so much less worse!

Roommate Struggles

The hardest part of college is not the academics or finding your social niche. No, the hardest, most difficult, most frustrating part of college is dealing with roommates! I don't know how people in triples or quads can do it. I'm struggling with just one! To describe all of her strangeness would just take to long.... 
So instead here is what I shall call the "highlight" list,

• She goes to bed at 9:30 at night
• She is ALWAYS in the room! 
• I never get anytime to myself!
• She gives the dirtiest looks to anyone who comes in my room
• She's mean to my friends when I'm not there
• She never stops talking! Especially when I'm clearly doing homework
• She always complains things are dirty
• I'm a neat freak, who cleans everything atleast twice a week; nothing is dirty
• She vacuums maybe once a month
• 8:00 am is late for her to wake up...... Her first class is at 10:30am......

I feel like I'm constantly walking on egg shells trying to make her feel comfortable. I don't know how to do anything else. Luckily the good thing about her is that she goes home most weekends. I don't want to be mean, but how do I remind her that it's my room too? Am I being over dramatic? UGH!!

Oh well at least I get to go home this weekend for the first time!  

My Latest Obsession

I have found my new favorite website! Now, down here there are a lot of monograms, and I like them, but I have no idea where to get them! That is until I fould Marley Lilly. Its a website that puts monograms on just about anything you can imagine! Last week I found out they were having a flash sale. So, I decided to order my first monogram! A pink seersucker bow with a mint green embroidered monogram! The wait is killing me! I don't know what is taking so long!
 This is what it will look like but mint green writing! Isn't it pretty?!? Ugh I just can't wait! You can find anything on this website! 

So now I love bows! I just can't wait!
