The Ultimate List of Binge-Worthy TV Shows

I absolutely love watching tv (perhaps a bit too much), and netflix is easily one of the best things to happen to me. Especially since I mooch off my dad's account! This list of binge-worthy TV shows is organized by genre and only includes TV shows that I have watched in their entirety and would recommend to anyone! Comedy Arrested Development. Although it never gathered as large of a following as some of the other shows on this list, I personally find this show to be the funniest on the list. With an all-star cast including Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, my friends and I quote this show more than any other. Parks and Rec. This show is a no-brainer. It's incredibly popular and recently

My Summer Reading Recommendations

Hey lovelies! Thanks to a wonderful post, called "5 Summer Book Recommendations", which can be found here,  I was inspired to write my own  list of summer books! Thanks Amelie for letting me use your post as inspiration! During the school year it's always tough for me to read for fun, so I usually try to catch up on those lost reading hours during the summer! Reading is a great way to keep your brain in great shape and improve yourself, like I wrote in this post. Plus, I tend to get bored when I'm not working, and reading is a wonderful way to fill those hot days. Finally, summer is the time for vacations, and vacations are the perfect time for reading! Without further ado, here is my

My July Goals

Hey lovelies! These past two months have been wonderful, and I really appreciate all of you that have been reading and commenting, and following my on social media, etc. You are what makes this worth it, and you are what encourages me to work hard and keep pushing this blog forward! While these past two months have been amazing, I want July to be even better and keep reaching new heights! This is a post just to solidify my goals for the month of June, both in terms of blogging, and my life! Lifestyle goals: Work out at least once a week. I know this one doesn't seem like much, but to say I hate working out is an understatement. This month, I want to start working out at least once

How I Chose the Right College For Me

Hello lovelies! Usually my posts tend to be more on the instructive side of college advice, but today I wanted to share more of a personal experience about how I chose the right college for me! Although it is a bit more personal, I hope me experience can help you chose which college is right for you. When I did college visits the summer before my senior year I visited three schools. Oklahoma State, Vanderbilt, and Ball State. My parents and I went on a four day road trip and hit all three schools rapid fire. Going into the experience, I had a checklist and a pro/con list for each school. I was looking for things like nice dorms, pretty campus, and a good program in what I was majoring in

Leaving for College Playlist

Whenever something big is happening in my life, my favorite thing to do is make a playlist! I make playlists for when I'm sad, in love, or things are changing. When I graduated high school, I made a playlist of songs relating to leaving/moving on, and listened to it pretty much non-stop. I even made a specific CD to listen to while I drove to school on move-in day (my parents were in a separate car) and listened to it 3 full times on the 4 hour drive. So, without further ado, here is a playlist of songs that make me have all the feels about graduation and moving away from home. Just FYI, I really listen to almost every type of music, so there is pop, rock, alternative, and country on this

10 Ways to Improve Yourself this Summer

Hey lovelies! For some, summer is a time to kick back by the pool and relax, while for others, summer is all about work! No matter what your plans are for the summer, there are easy ways to improve yourself (and your resume) this summer. While summer may seem like a break from all the stress of school, it's important not to completely slack off and fall behind your peers! Even if you haven't started college yet, you can still start working to build that resume and improve yourself! Volunteer! After high school, the volunteer hours you collected are wiped away. Scholarship and job committees don't care about what you did in high school! They only care about what you have done in your
