Jukebox Wednesday

Hello all!

At my university, I am a resident assistant (RA) and I had program where the residents and I analyzed A Seat at the Table by Solange Knowles. Immediately I got an idea to create a program or event that would occur weekly where we listen and talk about different albums, old and new. 

After further contemplation I decided I would be able to commit to a blog post more than an actual event every week considering my schedule is crazy. 

So welcome to the second/first Jukebox Wednesday! (I wish you could make words dance) 😂 
The first album I want to feature is:

24K Magic-Bruno Mars



My top 3 favorite songs are:

Calling All My Lovelies
Perm
Straight Up & Down

So if you haven't or have, go listen to this amazing album and let me know what your top 3 songs are!

Peace. 



No More Homework PLEASE


Hello all!

Senioritis is REAL! 

Teachers keep assigning homework. Yes, I know it's their job, but do they honestly think we are going to retain this information. NO. I only remember information to pass the test. I always think of alternatives for the education system because along with its many pros, there are many cons. 

Luckily I've always been able to listen in class and retain most the information and not have to study for the test, but definitely don't remember anything after the test. It actually kind of bothers me because I feel like that time was wasted. After four years of college I feel like I should be able to write several textbooks, but that's not the case. All I have to show is my GPA. I could have been studying things that I enjoy and retaining information. 

Now don't get me wrong,  I have learned some amazing things in college that I can apply throughout my life, but what college contributed to my life that I'm most appreciative is improving my ability of knowing how to think and not what to think. 

Ultimately, I don't want to just keeping going with the flow and doing what's easy, but actually doing my absolute best, 100%. I always say to myself, "What if I actually study?". From here on out I'm not just meeting the requirement, but taking a few more steps after to be that much more POPPIN'!

The Comeback

Hello all!

I am BACK! I know I haven't been very consistent with my blog posts, but I wanted to try again. It's okay to learn from your failures. Any who, I'm a senior in college and I'm moving to Columbus, OH in just a few months for my new JOB! Yay! I thought it would be very therapeutic to create daily blog posts with outfits of the day to go along with them. These pictures won't be Nikon quality, just iPhone 7 mirror magic so please work with me 😂

Along with my soon to come relocation to Columbus, OH, I had to make a big decision a few days ago that kinda pushed me to do even more of the things I said I planned on doing. This isn't to say that something was holding me back or I wasn't able to make posts anymore, but the situation that unravelled motivated me to actually do what I've been saying I needed time to do, GROW!

So get ready for some fly outfits, deep thoughts, and good vibes! 

Peace.
