Hello friends and happy Thursday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems like just yesterday I was turning 19 and praying God would make it a good year. Some years have felt harder than others (18, I'm looking back at you), but overall, 19 was good. I learned a lot about myself, met some wonderful people, & have sensed myself starting to grow up a bit. Now, here I am, two decades of life down! At first, I dreaded turning 20. I've heard so many young women talk about how your 20's are full of insecurity and confusion because you're finally trying to figure your life out. In a few short years, I'll have to become a <i>real </i>adult (scary!). I thought I would share 20 things I learned before I turned 20 and maybe some of you can relate to these as well.</div>

Hello everyone and happy Thursday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am <i>sooo </i>looking forward to the weekend. This week has been pretty hectic with clubs + initiation but I am ready for some much need R&R this weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it's been a long month overdue, but I am finally getting around to sharing all of my pictures from Italy with you. Milan was our first and last stop during our vacation in June. We flew into Milan this time and went back into town the day before our flight so we could explore some of the city. Unfortunately, my camera died but I was able to capture a few pictures!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Both of the first two pictures were taken at the <b>Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. </b>It is absolutely breathtaking. It's home to some of the most high end stores in the world such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Chanel. There are store surrounding the exteriors of the galleria, including a little mall. Right when you step outside, you see the gorgeous cathedral. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the architects and it is very much Italian-Gothic style. It took nearly six centuries to complete and is the third largest cathedral in the world!! When we were there, they were setting up for fashion week and the stage is set up right beside the cathedral #goals. I finally understand why Milan is one of the fashion capitals of Europe. It reminded me so much of New York and everyone was very elegant and dressed to perfection. The city is full of art, culture, and rich history. I did not get to spend as much time there as I would have liked but I plan on going back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all enjoyed these photos and stay tuned for my next post!</div>

Hi friends and happy Wednesday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the past few years, I have become <i>obsessed </i>with making inspiration/mood boards. I have a pin board in my room that I pin stuff to from magazines, stickers, and I even have jewelry on it! I typically change out that board every season to help freshen it up and spark inspiration from the trends that are currently out at the moment. </div>

For October, I wanted to create a mood board to share with you all. October is one of my favorite months #Scorpioseason. The vibe to me is much more darker and neutral than September and if you know me, you know black is my favorite color! I knew I wanted to design this inspiration board with black in mind, adding some pops of gold here and there. I used all of these images from my <a href="http://carlymixon.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> feed! Look out for my November inspiration board coming soon!</div>

Hello, friends. It's been a while!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone had a fantastic summer and is getting into the swing of things with the new school year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to finally share all of the photos I took while I was in Italy this summer. This was my second time going back and I could not have been more thrilled. We stayed in new places this time, for the most part. However, I enjoyed going back to the places we went to last time because I always notice different things that I had not noticed before!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On June 2nd, I boarded my flight from Charleston back home to Atlanta to meet my family and friends to hop on our flight to Milan. Almost everyone who went on the first trip to Italy came back to go on the second one, minus a few people and two new people, but we still had a blast. The flight from Atlanta to Milan was direct and about a 9 hour flight, plus 6 hour time difference (Italy is 6 hours ahead). Last time, we flew into Rome. I was able to capture a photo of us flying over the Swiss Alps which was so cool. I had zero interest in skiing/snowboarding anymore but I would still love to see them in person!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt5DkOM5qeft8pbkBSmjw_JGQAveHFJziM7kEucS8CMJQYE_QYpuNzvQlzNfkdPsLHOZZrGK-1hLwBCiF_S8d6EX-sdVdTnkGFQ8BqI6ftgSVsW17IbP1VvYlGnmkF-l7twydgUQ6m6ww/s1600/IMG_3248.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt5DkOM5qeft8pbkBSmjw_JGQAveHFJziM7kEucS8CMJQYE_QYpuNzvQlzNfkdPsLHOZZrGK-1hLwBCiF_S8d6EX-sdVdTnkGFQ8BqI6ftgSVsW17IbP1VvYlGnmkF-l7twydgUQ6m6ww/s400/IMG_3248.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I definitely preferred flying into Milan this time over Rome. Milan is in the northern part of the country and Rome is in the southern portion (it's also the capital.) Our main focus of this trip was to see the northern part of the country since we saw what we wanted to see in the southern part last time. There are still parts of Southern Italy I would love to see!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first stop: Lake Orta. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lake Orta is located Northwest of Milan. It's about an hour from the Switzerland border. Lake Orta and Lake Como are both in the northern parts of Italy but Lake Como is more touristy and known for celebrity sightings. Lake Orta is a little touristy but it's not overwhelming by any means. </div>

Overall, I highly recommend visiting Lake Orta! It was very beautiful, peaceful, and rich in history. I'll be honest, there was not a ton to do in this city. It was more of a place to relax. We drove up to the mountaintop and walked around in a few older churches and observed the lake down below. </div>

Hello friends and happy June! I can't believe we are already more than halfway through 2017. It truly does go by <i>sooo</i> fast but I'm thankful summer is here! About a month ago, I finished my freshman year of college! It's surreal to me to think that 1/4 of my college experience is over. I also moved to Charleston to work a summer job, which has been exciting + relaxing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I wanted to share what products I've been using on my skin these past couple of months. I changed my face wash after I noticed my skin was <i>so </i>dry and it felt time for a change. Along with face wash, I've been seeing an increase of toners + serums becoming popular. One of my new years resolutions was to find products that would help my skin look fresh while keeping its' youthfulness. I actually wrote an article on Spire & Co about the <a href="http://spireand.co/toner-vs-serum-whats-difference/">research I did on toners and serums.</a> </div>

<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/MD1">Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This rosewater spray is so popular and I can see why! It's a very refreshing scent + instantly wakes up your face. Sometimes, I spray this on before I wash my face and I use it to set my makeup as well. I like how this spray is multipurpose. Like I said, you can use it first thing in the morning, to set your makeup, or just give your skin a boost of hydration during the day. I will definitely be re-purchasing this product!</div>

<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/MD5">Mario Badescu Orange Cleansing Soap</a></div>
<br />
This orange cleansing soap is what I have been using on my face. It has a nice scent to it and it's very calm on my skin. I have eczema so my skin is <i>crazy</i> sensitive to anything I put on my face + body. I love that the bottle is very large; it's worth the money for how much product you're getting. I know this will last a while!<br />

I don't know how I went through high school without this product. This toner is my ride or die! Not only does it remove the last bits of makeup, but this has cleared up my acne scars tremendously. I used to pick at my face in middle school (bad habit), and I had some red spots on the side of my face. I noticed that within a couple of weeks of using this, those spots had faded. They're not completely gone but the color has decreased! You only need the tiniest bit of product on a cotton ball or cotton pad. Use the product in a downward motion, don't go side to side or up and down!</div>

<br />
It's the same old problem, over and over again; complaining to our mothers about boys who don't deserve us or talking to our girlfriends about why that guy isn't texting us back. It's our mothers asking us in concerned voices what do we see in him anyway to the calm, soothing tone of our girlfriends saying that he'll come around. But after the voices of our loved ones fade away, the ones in our head appear. Our right side of our brain battles our left side till the end, or at least until we experience another painful heartbreak by making the same mistakes.<br />
<br />
There is always someone in our lives we wish would change. Whether it's to drink less or exercise more, there is going to be something that someone needs to change in their lives. Upon, reading the book <i><u>"You Are A Badass"</u></i> by Jen Sincero, I began asking myself, <i>do people really change? </i>I've come to some harsh, yet crucial conclusions that I figured others needed to hear as well.<br />
<br />
<b>Humans Are Not a Light Switch</b><br />
Inevitably, we are going to have bad days. We will have days where it feels like the world is against us and other days where the world is beside us. Having a bad day doesn't exempt you from having bad behavior. A person cannot be turned on one day and off the next. Someone cannot say they are going to change one day but go right back to doing the same thing they were before the next. Our behavior is constant and our attitudes and beliefs are constant. However, if you chose to think of a person as a light switch, consider this: no matter how long you leave the lights on, the bulbs will go out eventually. The person who is trying to change will break if they are under constant pressure from you about how much they <i>need </i>to change. Then you'll be left wondering why you didn't change it sooner.<br />
<br />
<b>Maybe People Can Change, but It Won't & Shouldn't Be For You</b><br />
We all know that couple who breaks up and gets back together again a thousand times. "He says he's going to change his ways and become better for me" your best friend will say. So, you mean someone is going to automatically change the things you hate about them into things that make YOU happy? That's quite the commitment. However, what does the person you want to change gain from only making you happy? Nothing. People do not need to change for other people. People need to change for <i>themselves. </i>Remember, you are the one starring at yourself in the mirror everyday. You are the one living your life. Your willingness to get out of bed in the mornings needs to be because you want to better yourself everyday, not to please someone else who cannot accept you for the person that you already are.<br />
<br />
<b>Someone is Meant to Love That Person As They Are. It Just Won't Be You.</b><br />
Often times, we build up how great someone is in our head. How they could do no wrong, how no matter how many times they ignore our calls and texts, they are still the fabulous person we think they are. Even after this same person has hurt us countless times, we still hold them to a higher standard than anyone else. I can recall numerous occasions that I've complained to my mother about someone in particular. She silenced my complaints with the simple questions, "What do you see in this person anyways? What long-lasting qualities do they have?" Her questions puzzled me but made me realize that I could not answer them honestly. Just because someone isn't perfect for you doesn't mean that they aren't perfect for someone else. The qualities that don't appeal to you may appeal to someone else. It's okay to realize that we aren't capable of loving everyone and not everyone is capable of loving us. Also, don't think that the person who is perfect for you will never come. Some say that what's meant for you will never pass you by.<br />
<br />
<b>Change Usually Evolves From Gut-Wrenching Experiences</b><br />
I can remember the times in my life where I've experienced dramatic change better than I can recall what I ate for breakfast yesterday. That's because it <i>changed</i> me and well, my breakfast probably just made me bloated. Anyways, I've never met someone who's road for change and happiness was all flat with no bumps in it. Some roads go over mountains and some are just curvy. Unfortunately, some people will have to hit rock-bottom before they completely change their lifestyle. Not everyone will face something terrible for them to change, but usually the experiences that are the hardest transform you the most. I have learned more when I had nothing than when I had everything. I've never appreciated my life more than when I saw it in ashes versus when it was pieced perfectly together in a white dollhouse.<br />
<br />
All in all, do people <i>really</i> change? Eh, I'm no psychologist, but they might after self-accessing and reaching that conclusion themselves. The bottom line is that, if you're waiting for someone to change, you're going to be waiting for a <i>long</i> time. You need to stop waiting. You need to let go of the person you thought they were and realize the person who is right in front of you. The kind of glorified change I'm talking about does not happen in a day or over drinks. It happens with the willingness to want to change to better yourself, your life, and your health. If we spent less time accessing the change that needs to occur in our people's lives instead of our own, that energy could be used to be more productive in our jobs, being nicer to our parents, and being a better friend.<br />

I can't believe a month from now, I'll be on my way back to one of my favorite places in the world: Italy! This time, we will be traveling to Milan, Lake Orta, Verona, Venice and then Florence! Last time we made this journey, we visited Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany, Voltara, Pisa, Luca, and the Cinque Terre. I have been itching to go back to Italy for years now and I'm so happy I will be able too!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello, all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've noticed on Tumblr that many people are curious about these key pouches. I thought I would post my own review + pictures to give a better visual of what this product is actually like. First off, I am super impressed by the amount of space it has. As you can tell, I tried to open the key pouch as much as I could while taking a photo to show you all how spacious it is. It fits credit cards, cash, change, chapstick, and even a flash drive if needed. I carry a mixture of credit cards, cash, and change in it just to have with me at all times. It has holds my school ID which is very convenient because I have to have that with me at all times! You could easily fit 8-12 cards in this if you wanted to. Also, the latch is perfect to hold extra keys like your room key and car keys. I always have my room keys attached to this key pouch and sometimes I'll put my car keys on there. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This key pouch is perfect for a night out or a busy college student who doesn't want to carry around a wallet or bag. I can just as easily throw this into my bag if needed! I hardly carry my wallet anymore. This size is perfect to fit into your backpack and side pockets. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you want to get a good price on these instead of purchasing it straight from Louis Vuitton, check out Poshmark or eBay. I purchased mine on Poshmark in the Damier print. There are a variety of options/colors out there to suit your style! To me, the <a href="http://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/key-pouch-damier-ebene-000942">brown Damier print</a> is much more versatile and goes along with my aesthetic better. Many people have the <a href="http://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/key-pouch-damier-azur-000944">white print,</a> which is lovely, but I was afraid it would get dirty quickly! </div>

Today, I'm sharing with you one of the looks that I'm loving for spring and planning to style soon! <a href="https://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=624217337&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">Denim skirts</a> have made a huge comeback, I must say! I used to have one has a little girl but I never liked wearing it. I love chambray and probably own too many chambray shirts #sorrynotsorry. How cute is this <a href="https://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=619552621&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">white blouse </a>from Madewell?! Tying tops in the front is a fun, girly way to add something different to a simple look. I recently got <a href="https://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=603201698&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">this top</a> from Anthropologie and have been obsessed with this trend ever since! Speaking of trendy, I've seen <a href="https://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=626224196&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">these sunglasses </a><i>everywhere </i>on Instagram! I'm not sure I could pull these off, but comment below if you have these! I recently got <a href="https://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=536961976&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">this necklace</a> and <a href="https://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=624335941&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">these platform sandals</a>! I've been eyeing these types of sandals for a while and when I saw Target had them for under $30, I knew I had to get them. I purchased them in gold! It will be a fun way to spice up an outfit. <a href="https://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=633106989&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">This bag</a> look just likes a <a href="https://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=475237504&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">Chloe</a> dupe! </div>

Hi, friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm going to be sharing with you all some much-needed outfit inspiration for spring. The weather here in Georgia is <i>ridiculous! </i>One week, it's high 70s, then the next it's freezing! Spring is just around the corner on the calendar! Usually, spring is my least favorite season. I'm not a fan of the pinks, yellows, and mint colors. But this year, I'm looking forward to spring. Darty season is almost here and I'll hopefully be more motivated to workout in the beautiful weather!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A couple of weeks ago, my friends and I took a road trip to Nashville, Tennessee. I've always wanted to go to Nashville, so when we had a 3 day weekend, we knew it would be the perfect opportunity to get away from Athens. My friends sister attends Vanderbilt University and she was so gracious to let 5 girls stay with her! Naturally, we snapped a ton of pictures. Here are some we took! </span></div>

I thought it would be the perfect scent to spray on for class if I didn't want a very heavy scent. I picked up the Chloe perfume over the summer for the beginning of the school year. My mom had a mini travel-size perfume that I used and I fell in love with the scent so I decided to give it a try! Lastly, the Tory Burch perfume is a scent I have always <i>loved. </i>I first tried it out my junior year of high school and my mom gifted me with <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=541396276&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">this gift set</a> for Christmas!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, I'm going to be sharing some photos of my room and how I decorate it during the holidays. I was excited to come home from college and put my lights around my mirror. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I like it best at night and that is when I shot these photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last week, my friends and I took a 'daycation' to Asheville, North Carolina. Asheville is the neatest town and has plenty of great shopping, restaurants, and is home to the Biltmore Estate. We even spotted some snow on the mountain top on our way up there! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found these two signs in Mast General Store and I knew I had to have them. I love the quote and how cute is that cow?! My dorm room is lacking wall art so I will probably take these back to college with me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi, friends! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I came to college, I knew I wanted to get into wearing lipsticks. I was never a fan before because I couldn't find a color that I thought looked good on me. I recently purchased the Nars Velvet Lipstick and it is <i>so </i>good. I realized I look better in a pinkish nude color. It stays on forever! I also have the Bobbi Brown Lipstick which is perfect for game days and the holidays. As you can tell, I have listed above the color KoKo K Lip Kit by Kylie Jenner. Many people were skeptical of her lip kits but honestly, they are <i>sooooooo </i>good. I know I said my Nars Lipstick lasts forever, but so does Kylie's lip kits. It goes on very smoothly and it makes your lips look instantly fuller. My #1 tip would be do not apply chapstick or any sort of moisturizer to your lips before applying the lipstick because it is a matte formula that needs to be applied with dry lips. This Chanel lipstick is very vampy-perfect for a night out!</span></div>

Long time, no talk. I have been very busy with school + life. I hope to get into a routine again writing posts. Sometimes, I find myself in creative blocks and I cannot come up with anything to write about! Today, I thought I would talk about some products I'm loving/eyeing right now.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've seen everyone with this <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=456747915&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">belt.</a> It's a trendy, western look but it also adds something different to your basic, black belt. I love how some come with the double buckles or you can get one with just one buckle. A few weeks into school, I was still not recovered from my loss of sleep during sorority recruitment. I would finish with classes and then take 3 hour naps every single day for about 3 weeks. My under eyes definitely suffered for the loss of sleep so I immediately began looking for a solution to try to cover the dark circles. I found <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=508280308&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">this product </a> from Benefit at Sephora. Apply a little on top of your foundation and then apply regular concealer and it really does work wonders! I got the shade medium (03) to add a brighter effect to my under eyes. Every week while I'm at Target, I find myself walking down the isles of the shoe section, hehe. I saw <a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-raine-western-boots-mossimo-supply-co/-/A-50845660">these booties</a> and fell in love. They are a complete look-a-like to these <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=536355515&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">Jeffrey Campbell</a> ones at an unbeatable price! While at Target, my roommate and I have been obsessed with drinking tea lately. With it being fall and full-PSL season, we had to get <a href="http://www.target.com/p/pumpkin-spice-coffee-single-serve-pod-18-count-archer-farms/-/A-14695728">this tea.</a> Along the lines of fall things, my mom has been burning <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=99199226&cp=12586994.12936192.4147333">this candle</a> nonstop. I purchased a couple of wall scents for our dorm room so it would smell like fall!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello, all! I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday. Oh, and happy almost Fall! Even though it doesn't feel like Fall here yet in Georgia, I'm still thrilled to know the cooler temperatures are fast approaching. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, I am going to share with you my tiny, tiny desk area in my dorm room. First off, I reorganized it about 5 times. Everything becomes cluttered so easily when you have a small space. I still don't think I'm finished with this area - I might add a gallery wall. Who knows! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm a sucker for an inspiration board. A lot of fashion designers create mood boards for their collections so I'm glad I started getting into that habit. These are so fun for me to create and I try to change them season after season. This time, I went for a white, blue, and black aesthetic. I also added some fabric swatches from a fabric store in New York City and some fun quotes. </span></div>

I've realized in college how different 'beauty' is approached. For example, in high school, I wore makeup everyday but in college, I wear very minimal makeup or none at all to class. I've also noticed that girls make more of an effort to try exotic looks when it's a night out on the town. Whatever your routine is, there are definitely some must-haves for the college gal who's trying to get a degree while still looking pretty. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>1. Dry Shampoo: </i>I used to never be a fan of dry shampoo. Who in the heck would go three + days without washing their hair?! Not I. Now that my days vary, I don't always have time to wash my hair every night or I'm too lazy, ha. Dry shampoo has been a life saver so far for my roots. A quick spray before class and bam, hair that isn't greasy. I highly recommend <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=336146467&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">this one</a> and <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=434521189&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">this one!</a></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>2. Setting Spray: </i>I can't believe I went all throughout my years of high school without using this stuff. Setting spray sets your makeup and allows it to stay in place for a long time. It's perfect for a night out! You can get the pricer option, like <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=394224879&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">Urban Decay</a> or the less expensive <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=524362112&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">option. </a></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>3. Highlighter: </i>Guys, can we take a moment to realize how amazing this stuff is?! I recently got on the trend and I won't be abandoning this product from my routine anytime soon. A highlight, is what it sounds like: it highlights whatever part of your face you wanted highlighted. You can swipe the product on with a brush or your finger. I recommend applying it on the area above your cheek. It makes you look as if you have a glow!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are amazing options: <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=6474128&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">one /</a> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=449655606&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">two /</a> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=527089739&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">three /</a> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=522828795&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">four</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>4. Hair Treatment: </i>PSA, dorm showers SUCK. The water pressure is awful and it's hard to find showers that have the pressure just how you want it. Along with getting ready for events, your hair takes a toll on the amount of heat that's used. I recommend doing a treatment once a week, whichever kind works best for you. I personally use <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=507402888&pid=uid9841-29755529-99">this one</a> because my hair always smells amazing and is so smooth after! I really notice a difference the next day because my hair maintains the softness and shine. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>5. Sleep: </i>You've probably heard a million times how important beauty sleep is but I cannot express it enough, especially when you get to college. There will be many nights where you're studying until 2 a.m. or coming home from a night out with friends. Right now, my study schedule hasn't been too crazy so I've been able to take naps everyday. I think I'm still recovering for the 4:30 a.m. sorority recruitment wake-up calls, ha. It's hard to be productive when you can barely keep your eyes open so take that 30 minute quick nap. You won't regret it. Plus, you'll feel more energized and refreshed. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope you all enjoy these quick tips! Have a good Monday!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello, hello friends! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am officially blogging from my sweet, little college town of Athens, Georgia. I moved in August 7th for sorority recruitment and classes began August 11th. Drop/Add week, commonly known as 'Syllabus Week' is officially over and everyone is getting into the groove of things with their classes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've only been in school for 11 days but it seems a lot longer than that. Many things have changed in my two weeks here. As I mentioned earlier, I participated in Formal Sorority Recruitment. It consisted of 4:30 am wake up calls, going to 18 houses to meet active members and then going through the rest of the rounds leading up to Bid Day. The whole process was about a week long. However, I <i>withdrew </i>from sorority recruitment the morning of Preferential (Pref) Rounds. The entire process is life-changing and I plan to do a few posts about Greek Life and rush in general if you all are interested. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, onto college life..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The good:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- <i>SO. MUCH. FREEDOM. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">High school never consisted of this much freedom. I have breaks in between my classes and I only have 2-3 classes a day. It gives me enough time to catch up on sleep, run errands, and do homework. No one is there to tell you to go to class or do your laundry. butttt, you should go to class!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- <i>Meeting new people</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Everybody is the 'new kid' in college. New school, new town, even a new state. I've been fortunate enough to meet great people so far, through my Gamma Chi group and on my hall. My hall mates are the bomb and we've already had great times together!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>- Better food</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My cafeteria food was awful in high school. At UGA, there are multiple dining halls that offer different things. One dining hall serves Hibachi while the other serves healthy shakes and so on. It is hard to eat healthy unless you are disciplined. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The bad:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>- Illness</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My doctor recently told me that you'll never be more sick in your life than in college. #joy. Many girls who participated in recruitment have been experiencing the same cold and freshman who are getting acclimated to the dorms. You always have to wash your hands and be mindful of those around you who are sick. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>- The buses</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">UGA is a very large and hilly campus. Many buses run through campus but figuring out which route to take can be challenging! UGA has an app that has the bus routes but it's still easy to hop on the wrong bus. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- <i>The heat</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's hot as hell here in Athens and the South in general! Fall is in a month and we could not be more ready for it. Plus, Fall = FOOTBALL. I walk everywhere on campus so #sweaty. Is anyone else dying in this heat right now?!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- <i>Textbooks</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I highly highly recommend that you rent your textbooks if you can. You will save a ton of money. Plus, you can still highlight in them as long as you don't destroy them. Do not pay full-price for a core class textbook. And if you have to, prepare to have your heart break. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As my summer is coming to a quick end, I couldn't be more excited to begin a new chapter in my life: college. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The summer before college is a 'weird' transition time. You truly begin to learn how to be an adult. Purchasing things for my dorm was one of the most stressful yet exciting experiences that I've had this summer. I'm telling you, deciding what you need to live on your own is a <i>weird </i>thing. I've had to purchase things that I use to never think about when I walked into Target like medicine, cleaning supplies, a lint roller, (haha) and the list goes on. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another part of the 'weird' feeling of transition is that <i>your friends will not handle the idea of moving on the same way you will. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most of my friends are very anxious about the start of college, or the next chapter in their lives. While I am nervous about facets of college like sorority recruitment, how to study, finding my classes, etc., I'm also pretty dang excited for the opportunities I'm about to have and the people I will meet. My roommate is already a close friend of mine and I've met some great people through Orientation. Honestly, when you work really, really hard in high school, not only are you working towards getting into your dream college, you're working towards opportunities that will develop your career and allow you to become your best self. How could I <i>not </i>be excited about that?!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Along the lines of opportunities, I was recently chosen to be on the editorial team for <a href="http://spireand.co/">Spire & Co.</a> If you all aren't familiar with Spire & Co, it's an amazing website that inspires and supports young, ambitious women in all endeavors of their lives. I had to submit a piece in order to be considered for the job and ironically, the one I submitted was a piece I wrote two years ago after a breakup. Thanks for the job, ex boyfriend?? haha. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was always reluctant to share my writings with people because what I write is very personal to me. Putting yourself out there, in any way, is terrifying. Writing has always been a passion of mine. I also wanted to be apart of another facet of the fashion industry, which is why most of my articles will be featured in the <a href="http://spireand.co/category/style-beauty/">Style & Beauty section.</a> Look for my name in a couple of weeks :)</span></div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbubR_CbDI0nTd2yeDC3rIBDSR3r8j0lRASVfC7go24Op74KkKCvFdZsmZ5uWgs0E-1De9EIAcczEMllcYe8H9A76YdiMrAO5rsvRvumxmWNDiZs72uwzNeFpC-FXJJQAByvuvLsqwgGY/s1600/uga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbubR_CbDI0nTd2yeDC3rIBDSR3r8j0lRASVfC7go24Op74KkKCvFdZsmZ5uWgs0E-1De9EIAcczEMllcYe8H9A76YdiMrAO5rsvRvumxmWNDiZs72uwzNeFpC-FXJJQAByvuvLsqwgGY/s320/uga.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll never forget the moment I knew that the University of Georgia was where I would call 'home' for the next four years of my life. It was on a hot, mid-September evening in Athens. UGA was playing a popular rival-South Carolina. This was my first game I attended in the 2015 season. It was a highly-anticipated game, the fans were wild, and campus was flooded with students, alumni, and die-hard UGA fans. My parents have had season tickets to the Georgia games for years, and my brother and I grew up going to the games. We always had to walk through campus to get to the stadium, and naturally, I would be people-watching, but this particular time was different. Instead of watching people who had obviously had too much to drink already, I found my focus was on the buildings through North Campus. (A little history lesson, Georgia was the first state to charter a state-supported university/college in the year of 1785. So yeah, some of the buildings are <i>old.</i>) I noticed how beautiful the design of each building was, and how those stones and bricks represented a place that prepared so many people for their future. I remember looking over to my mom and saying, "I know this is where I'm supposed to be." Naturally, she replied, "Well, I hope you can do whatever it takes to get accepted!" ha!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As Taylor Swift once said, <i>'And that was the moment I knew'. </i> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sometimes in life, you have these moments of affirmation or realization that you are supposed to be in a place, at a certain time, with a certain group of people. That night was the moment I knew UGA was were I was supposed to be. My only problem was that I had to await my acceptance letter, which came some 6 months later. The wait was miserable but definitely worth it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>So, my advice...</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hopefully, all of you upcoming seniors applying to college will have your 'Taylor Swift moment' like I did. Most people have a gut feeling, but some do not. Some just go to a college because they were forced to or it wasn't their first choice. I know that with a couple of colleges I did visit besides UGA, I did not have a gut feeling that that was where I belonged. For example, I visited Ole Miss last August and nothing clicked for me. My parents absolutely adored Oxford and the campus but it just wasn't for me. <b>Do not feel pressured to settle on a school that you will not be happy going too. </b>Seriously. Your personal happiness is so important, especially since you'll be living on your own for the first time. Of course you can transfer schools or even take a gap year. Whatever you have to do to make sure you are happy, <i>do it. </i>If that means not attending the college your parents did, like me, then do it!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wish you all happiness and best of luck this school year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've published a few posts about college, the admissions process, and the tests needed for college. As most of you know, I'm a high school senior and that was what was occurring in my life. This past Friday, I received some big news- one that made me cry with excitement and relief. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got accepted into my first choice of school, the University of Georgia! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_dLvXqW7ii9iYT_fQUdcOG0h2fxvgwRErv3OeNTxOoosJvfR_OmpUsZi3LxJMlnHkPHGcad7QSJVaFnAgsbQgUI4GBuobmOmJo9kKESdluLXJsEQ_SGMlRyladbf-ibY59MNUKSNLk00/s1600/Cd3Dx_2WEAAZx5J.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_dLvXqW7ii9iYT_fQUdcOG0h2fxvgwRErv3OeNTxOoosJvfR_OmpUsZi3LxJMlnHkPHGcad7QSJVaFnAgsbQgUI4GBuobmOmJo9kKESdluLXJsEQ_SGMlRyladbf-ibY59MNUKSNLk00/s640/Cd3Dx_2WEAAZx5J.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's been my dream to go to UGA for the past two years and I am so excited to be joining the freshman class of 2020. There were over 23,000 applicants this year, the highest number ever and the incoming class is the most academically competitive it has ever been. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It still feels so surreal to know that I will be moving to Athens in the fall. I have been praying about this since the beginning of my senior year and a huge weight has been lighted off of my shoulders. The college process is so stressful and now I feel like I can finally enjoy my senior year since I know where I will be attending school.</span></div>

Hey y'all! Spring Break is officially upon us! If you're on yours now, I'm so jealous! Mine begins next Thursday and I could not be more excited. I'm headed back to Kiawah Island, South Carolina where my family and I go all the time. I have been going there since I was young and it is 30 minutes from the beautiful historic city of Charleston. We have great friends who live on Kiawah as well, so we always spend time with them when we visit!</div>

I'm doing something a little different this Spring Break--working! I got the opportunity to work at Southern Tide and I am so excited. I've always wanted to work retail. I'll get a few days on the beach but I will be working 4 days of the 7 I'll be there. Above are some of the things I will be packing to take with me, minus the float (it's so cute though). I have been wearing a delicate necklace from Kendra Scott lately that my mother got me for Christmas; it's my birthstone. I normally don't wear accessories everyday, but I have seriously grown to love these necklaces. I might purchase the black one! I also plan on picking up some Argan Oil. My hair is long and thick and it requires maintenance. I plan to protect it from getting damaged from the sun.</div>
