Weekly Round Up

It's been a while since I've done one of these! I will try to do them more often when school won't be the main focus of my blog posts. I have some great stuff planned and a couple of surprises coming up I will announce when school is over! But for now..

{one}

I'm taking this lovely test this weekend for the third time and probably my last time. Most studies show that after three times of taking the SAT, your scores will not significantly raise higher. I still have plenty of opportunities with the ACT! I have to say, I am glad I started early with the college admissions tests. Most of my friends haven't even taken anything yet, and want to apply early admission for college. (eep.) But don't worry if you haven't started! Everyone approaches it differently. I know with AP exams, I wish I would have waited to take the SAT but it's okay.  Best of luck to everyone taking it this weekend!

Guess who finally joined the Jack Roger nation? Holaaaa. But I will say, I've been going on total freak out mode lately. The shoes were extremely tight on my feet, that I could barely get them to slide in. I was worried that I had gotten the wrong size or that the shoe was not going to fit me at all. After asking some fellow Tumblr people and classmates, they say that it takes a little while to break in. I got half a size up, like recommended. I am going to hope for the best and that they stretch out, but if push comes to shove, I will return them if need be. Beautifully handcrafted shoes!

Life Lately

Hello, everyone! Even though I have been posting blog posts, I feel as though I've been MIA these past couples of weeks. A lot has been going on from tennis, to school, to crazy amounts of homework. I've rounded up a few pictures to show you all what I've been up to lately!



Catelyn and I snapped a photo after our win! Sadly, our tennis season ends this week. It has flown by. We started in mid-January, but we've missed a lot of days because of the weather, therefore, we haven't had as many practices as we needed. I'll be sad to not be playing with our team, but I'm thankful for the break I will have. No more traveling to 2 hour away places on school nights!!


My best guy friend, Noah, prom-posed to me! (haha). We've been doing an activity in AP U.S. History about communism, and we had to spy on someone and find out all of this information about them to see if they were communist! (liking Instagram pictures, taking selfies, etc.) He ended up having me and I was totally shocked. He kept the best and biggest secret from me! My boyfriend was not able to go to prom with me due to a tennis region match in North Carolina, but I'm excited I get to go with a great friend!



What is sleep? No, really. It has been borderline nonexistent for me these past two weeks. I have had lots of work to do, mainly because it's the end of my junior year and AP exams are coming up. STRESSFUL. Coffee has been my best friend, keeping me sane and somewhat awake. I was so happy when I woke up at 10:45 am on Saturday and Sunday. Normally, I would wake up at 8:30 and stay tired all day, but I feel refreshed and energized now. 


My #ootd for last night's event. I was helping as a daughter and an Interact Club member. My mother is the president of Rotary for our county, and her and the director of Circle of Hope teamed up and did an event- Dancing With The Stars. It was amazing. I never knew adults could dance like that and for such a great cause. 

Also, keep up with me on Instagram.

Have a fabulous week!

Unwind


This week has been bizarre! AP Lang & APUSH homework, tennis practice after school, two SAT prep classes this week, and the SAT Saturday. Whew. I'm definitely looking forward to  Saturday being over with. My Sunday afternoons have been consumed by SAT prep for weeks now and this Sunday, I will finally be free to do as I please! I'll be thankful to have this weight lifted off of my chest once again, (this is my second time taking the SAT.) So, tomorrow night, I will be unwinding and preparing for my big test. A date with my bathtub, a hot cup of tea, and a book screams relaxation. 

Good luck to SAT testers this weekend!

Weekly Round Up


This has been the longest week ever. I now have added another AP to my schedule this semester (currently taking AP Language and added U.S. History) and it's been tough to manage. Also, I am taking math, which is not my strongest subject along with those classes..(ew). But on a positive note, I started Tennis this week! We have two weeks of practice until actual tryouts so right now, we are doing a lot of physical activity and great exercises to really get everyone into shape. Surprisingly, the conditioning has been harder than cross country!! We did run the mile though, along with stadiums and the 100 meter dash. I've never played tennis before on a team, and I thought it would be good to try something new with these being my final two years of high school. I'm still learning the basics, putting in my best effort, and getting into much better shape now. I will probably incorporate more tennis posts coming soon!

Weekly Round Up

It has been a hectic week and it will continue on into next week until finals are over! I apologize in advance for the shortage of posts, but I am adding an additional topic to my blog: Weekly Round Up! 
Have a great weekend!

Super cute monogram decals I ordered from Etsy!
One of the decals I ordered I put on my laptop.

I always decorate my mirror with Christmas lights every year!

A recently straightened- up desk.

I finally changed my inspiration board! Photos are from J. Crew magazine and Tumblr.
