Woah World Hello!

Hellllllllllllllllllo Everyone!

I have not updated this blog in a long time and I am so so so sorry! I feel horrible. I have started a Summer Gets post with loads of stuff I've picked up thus far but I thought before I posted that I would do a little personal update first.

Since the last time I have blogged I have changed locations!! I am back home in New Jersey for a little bit in order to see my family before I begin my study abroad in Paris. I won't be seeing them for an entire year and even though I don't see them for 6+ months due to my attendance of university in Florida, I won't be seeing them for holidays.

Looking for another full time job has proven to be impossible since I will only be here until mid August and no one seems to see the point in hiring an employee for such a short amount of time. Luckily I still have a job that I work at one time a week and I do crazy hours so I'm not completely screwed in the money department.

I've been obsessing over random things I've been finding out about France. The stumbleupon focus on France interest has been my best friend. What I've decided to do it make a list. I want to make a list of all the places I want to see, places to go, and also random little tidbits to do while in Europe. I'm going to put it all in my Harry Potter journal that I got while at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Other than that I have no idea what to use it for so I'm happy to have found a great use for it. Like I said before I LOVE supplies and notebooks and pens so while there I just had to get the journal.

I can't wait to show you guys all the stuff I got.
To give s little hint you should expect to see some killer red colors and cute shits with collars. :)


I hope everyone is having a great summer!!! What have you all been up to?

Also I hope everyone in the US had a great 4th of July!!!

Don't forget to follow me on Instagram ~! :)

I'm going to Paris ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

Hiya!
How is everyone doing? I hope not as drowned in work as I am. Haha
I'm taking a break for the night to write my blog, Skype with a friend and just chill before hopping back into study mode.

Anyway! I AM GOING TO PARIS!!! I will be spending my junior year of uni abroad in Paris, France and I am so excited. I have lived in France for a year of high school as well and it feels great to be going back. I do not know what school I'll be attending yet but I know I'll find out in around a month so not so much longer. I hate not knowing so this is hyperbolically killing me.

"I'm going to live in Paris" is the thought that keeps playing on loop in my head. I cannot contain my excitement! I've been to Paris a couple of times when I live in Le Havre and I loved it! You know how a lot of Europeans are excited for NY? Well, that's me about Paris. From my memories it is just so lovely, lively, and stunning.  (≧∇≦)
I'm so easily excited though so even the building makes me freak out on the inside.

This is one of the photos I took while climbing up the Eiffel Tower in 2010!

I'm just scared about the cost. Paris is so crazy expensive....euhhhh. However, I get to pay instate tuition for FL so that will make it a weeeeeee bit cheaper. I'm actually fundraising to help pay some of the costs so that will be interesting. Woot woot! I'm actually working on my letter now and it is slightly difficult to write. Selling myself without sounding cocky, while at the same time yelling "TAKE ME TAKE ME I'M AWESOME" is proving to be a difficult task. I think this will help with my writing overall though so either way this process is not being done in vain!!!

Also can we all just take a moment to think about the overhwelming FASHION that I will be witnessing?!!?!?? At my school people are so judgmental sometimes about people who dress a different way or if you try something new. For example I get so many looks if I wear small heels somewhere with a nice outfit.....
At this fashion capital though I can just see all the interesting, and adorable outfits I'll see.....and most likely buy. It is so exciting!!!!!  My wallet is already crying. Haha
But I am also just happy to be going to France. I love the culture, the food (so much better than American food, sorry.....not sorry), and art is something that I really have a passion for!!!!!

FRANCE, LET ME LOVE YOU

I need to study and practice French though. Merp
Have any of you been to France? :)

Stress is eating me alive.

Hello Everyone :)

Well today has been a tough day. Whew, I don't even know where to begin...
How about with the question, Do you ever feel like you have so much going on, or that you need to do that you're being swallowed up by a gigantic hole the size of the Sun? :)
Well, I for one sure am feeling that way. It's the end of the semester and as if worrying about finals weren't enough, there is just more work being piled on top of that. I'll be spending next year in Paris to go to school and there is a ton of paperwork for that. A lot of which I can't even do yet since I don't know what uni I'll be attending. As for school, I have 3 papers, one oral recitation, and 4 finals coming up! Craziness I know!
I don't know why but today all these thoughts were crashing onto me and I started freaking out. Thoughts about money, school, and French were buzzing around my head like a pack of hungry bees! 

This describes my life at the moment.  I got this photo online, it does not belong to me!

BUT I'm okay now. Being stressed out is a part of life. It's not a good feeling, but it is natural and I'm happy to say that I am learning how to deal with this! Everyone gets stressed out over school, work, family, or some other social part of our lives so that made me remember that I'm not alone. My good friends were right with me trying to cheer me up and make me smile. It worked, thank gosh! I felt like I was going to die earlier. Haha.

I love my friends so much. They are seriously the best. I've made so many of these friends through various fandoms and I've never been as happy as I've been lately to have these people in my life. :)

Is anyone else stressed over school? This is finals time after all. :(
I've also got a couple things that I do when stressed that you guys may find useful to try or just to laugh at. When I get stressed I clean...a lot. I go all OCD on my room, and the kitchen, and any room I can get my hands on. I don't know why, but it calms me down. Also music is a huge lifesaver. I love blasting my music when I'm feeling like I'm going to explode. I swear for the past hour I've been looping the new Takahashi Minami single "Jane Doe" and it is so fabulous. Instant happiness.
Writing seems to be helping too. It's quite a nice way to release the tension. I just wish I could write my papers like I write my blog in the sense that I'm not getting writers block.

I'm so excited for this weekend though. I think I'm going to make some Favorite Products posts.
I'm debating on whether to start with hairsprays or eyeliner! It's a tough choice.

That's all for now. Sorry for the rant!
I hope none of you guys are as stressed!
If anyone is feeling stressed for whatever reason don't be afraid to comment! I'll listen! :)
Goodnight 
xoxo
