Enjoying the Little Moments of Life

Howdy! It seems that I've taken up the role of the elusive blogger, rather than one that can't stop raving about the newest mascara. Sometimes, its good to take a break. I've kind of let school take a huge bite out of my available free time, as I recently switched universities. Its close to the one that I used to attend, but now that I'm another year wiser ( let's be real, I still have no idea how to study properly) according to the school system, I have more, er, knowledge to absorb. I know, what a drag. It's taken me a while to get into the swing of things, but already having friends at this new school made things a lot easier. It doesn't hurt that any new people that hang around are super approachable and enthusiastic.


I will admit, it can be hard at times to appreciate these things. Especially when your routine at school ( or work, home, etc.) can make you feel like your a wind up toy that only stops to rest once you run into a wall, and nobody is there to wind you back up again.It's currently 2:07 AM as I am writing this. Kind of an odd time to be up and writing, but for a busy college student, this is still "early" in my evening. All puns aside, it makes a huge difference in your day, after a lab that ran over its scheduled time ( didn't know it was possible to be half an hour OVER a three hour ochem lab) if you happen to receive a text from a bunch of your friends asking you to come grab a bit of questionable tacos at the cafeteria to unwind. It may not seem like much; while you debate the identity of that taco that may or may not be filled with shredded chicken, and laugh about spilling your whole sample of extracted chemicals onto the floor.

Learning to look back and appreciate all of the little things in your life may be the one thing that finally gets you to your degree, even if those wonderful ochem labs seem to be running later and later.


Well, I'm off to go study. Good luck to all of you first timers with your midterms ( and hey, you second years can try to get a little bit more shut eye, too)

Farewell to First Year :)

If you listen closely, you can hear millions of students rejoicing at the conclusion of their first year of university. I am happy to say that I am a part of this joyful group! This has been such an awesome year, as I can't imagine my life without experiencing university. I am so happy to have met so mamy people andd experience so many different situations. Though it wasn't always happy-go-lucky, I am just so glad to have has this experience.

Well, happy end of first year to all of my fellow undergraduates, and here's to an even better first year!

Back into the Swing of Things

Hello there!
As a bunch of you readers have noticed, I haven't been posting for about several weeks, and boy, I wanted to blog so badly! I am currently enrolled in university and am loving every bit of my experience, as I am finally settled in and used to how things work. My lack of posts was due to me feeling as if I would only have time to do reviews, and not everything else that I had planned, so I decided to just take a break, and focus on getting used to a new experience and forming a new routine to incorporate everything.I shall try to use my Instagram account more often, seeing as I created an account without using it (who knows, may end up as one of those people who obsessively post stuff, but let's hope not). Well, since I've been gone for a while, what have you guys been up to lately?

Freshman Beauty Tips

Hello lovely readers! Right now the sun is shining, and it`s the perfect weather for playing  tennis. I don`t want summer to end yet! Well, some of you readers might be on your way to the real world in September. And  yes, I am referring to uni/college life. Amid the late night studying and friendly parties (who are we kidding here) money isn't as easy to obtain as before. I decided to make a list of beauty tips for all you shiny new students, which I hope makes you feel a bit more comfortable living on your own.

Tip #1: Avoid bringing too many high-end cosmetics

I'm tying not to be the cynic in the room, but things can go missing quite frequently, especially if you are known to have an abundance of drugstore brands in your dorm.
