Friday Fours

How is it already Friday?! This week has flown by and it makes me sad knowing that there are just a few more left until move out. As excited as I am for summer, there are so many hurdles to cross before I can even think about things other than school. I have some fun things planned for the summer and I can't wait to share them with you when I have them all locked down. We are also in the process of signing our lease for our senior year house which is pretty crazy to be thinking about! Here's a step into my week:

::one::

Although the weather fluctuates from 30 degrees to 70 degrees from one day to the next, it is finally starting to look like spring here in Bloomington. How gorgeous is this tree in our front yard?!  

::two::

I've been getting over a pretty bad cold and have been trying to speed it up by eating tons of fruits and veggies. I can't wait to eat this many pretty, colorful foods this summer! Does anyone else have a Pinterest board dedicated to food to make over the summer, or is that just me...

::three::

Did you see that Target launched their line with Hunter? Even though our store was definitely more kidswear focused, it was still fun to see what they all came out with. I haven't bought anything yet but am considering  a fun jacket like this,  a bold pair of slides or  this pretty umbrella!

::four::

 I don't know what it has been about this year but I just feel so out of a routine lately. Since I end class by 10:45 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have most of the day to do whatever I need to. As nice as this is, I miss having a specific schedule with designated chunks of time to study, workout, etc. That's just a big part of college I guess! In the next 2 weeks I just really need to buckle down and get everything checked off my to-do list. 

This weekend is our huge Little 500 bike race (women's on Friday and men's on Saturday) and I can't wait to watch our team race! Delta Gamma won what's called "quals" (the qualifying sprint race a few weeks ago), so we can't wait to go cheer on our amazing bike team. 

I hope you have a productive + fun weekend!

15 Things for Spring

via

I seriously can't stop shopping for spring. It's honestly becoming kind of an issue at this point! Even though I haven't bought a ton, I keep loading up my shopping carts on multiple websites, debating whether or not I should take the plunge. I've gathered up 15 pieces I love and thought I'd share them with you in case you're in need of some spring inspo!

Happy Shopping!

Friday Fours

Happy Friday! After this week's absolutely crazy weather changes (68 degrees one day, 25 and snowing the next), I'm excited to hopefully have a warmer weekend ahead. I have a bunch of projects I need to check off my to-do list and look forward to sleeping in and spending time with my friends. 

::one::

Last weekend was weird because all of my friends in my sorority except 3 went home for Easter, so as you can imagine, the house was super quiet! It was pretty nice having the house to ourselves. On Easter, my friend Leslie and I went to the cutest church and then out for brunch after. 

::two::

How amazing is this bruschetta bar?! I wish I could eat like this every day. I've been trying to be more conscious of what foods I'm putting in my body on a daily basis and have to say, I feel so much better when I'm eating cleaner (shocker, right?!).

::three::

Since the weather's been so back and forth, I've been wearing my joggers a fair amount! I used to never wear them out of the house, but they're just too comfy to not wear to class sometimes. I think they look so cute with a casual look like a white tee and jean jacket. 

::four::

It's insane to think that I have just about a month left before I move home for the summer. While I am sooo ready to be done with classes, I'm not ready to live far away from my best friends! I can't wait to live the last few weeks to the fullest. 

Have a great weekend!

How to Freshen up for Spring

Even though it literally snowed here in Bloomington last night (don't even get me started), I can't help but have the urge to spring clean everything in sight now that it's April. Tidying things up a bit as the seasons change is one of my favorite things to do and since school is about to get even busier with finals coming up, some cleaning is very necessary! I like to think I have a system down when it comes to "freshening" things up, so I thought I would dedicate a post to it today.  

+ Unfollow accounts on social media 

I recently did this on my blog account and as much as it made me sad to unfollow some accounts that I occasionally look at, it's really going to decrease my time on Instagram every day. Unfollowing 50 people makes such a big difference and you'll notice that you won't have as much to scroll through, so you'll be on social media less! 

+ Delete old emails 

Maybe this is just me, but nothing is more overwhelming than having waaay too many emails in my inbox. Every day I make sure to clear out new notifications, but there are always emails I can get rid of that I totally forget about. If you can, try to get the total number of emails in your inbox under 100! You'll feel so much more organized and on top of things. 

+ Go through camera roll 

Ok, I am so guilty when it comes to how many photos I have on my camera roll. Since I have an iPhone with more storage, I have an excuse to store more pictures, but my current total of 8,000 is pretty out of hand. Back up all of your photos on your laptop or an external drive, and then delete as many photos as possible off of your phone. This will (hopefully) help your phone run faster and make your camera roll feel less cluttered. 

+ Wipe down technology screens 

I was raised to love Windex and cleaning down surfaces (please tell me I'm not the only one!), so taking a lysol wipe and wiping down my laptop, phone, etc. is just the greatest feeling ever. There's also a pretty bad virus going around my campus right now, so it's beneficial to do this every few days! 

+ Rearrange your desk 

It seems like these days my desk is just a place to hold clutter rather than actually do work. Since there's three of us in our pretty tiny room, I keep all of my makeup, extra books/binders, jewelry, etc on my desk and as you can imagine, it gets pretty chaotic. Take time every week (or every day if you can!) to get rid of junk and keep it looking tidy. My mood honestly revolves around the state of my room, and I feel so much better about things if my desk is organized. 

+ Clean out your backpack/purse 

Lastly, to get rid of extra clutter, empty out your backpack or purse. I can't tell you how many half eaten granola bars, gum wrappers, dead pens, etc I've found in mine and it is so refreshing to get it all clean! 

I hope these tips get you going on the right track! I promise you'll feel 100% better after doing even two of these things to "spring clean" your life. 

Comment below any other things you do!
