Like many college students I like to represent my college!  While there have always been college t-shirts and jerseys, recently I have noticed that more bookstores are starting to produce cute college clothes and accessories for women.  No longer do we have to settle for unflattering t-shirts and baseball caps.  So here are some of my favorite things…

I apologize in advance for those of you that read my personal blog but I just had to share this amazing project! So over break, my best friend and I decided to make bows. Let me tell you first off, this is no small endeavor. You need two ribbons, if you want to make one bow one yard of each should do. We used simple black and white so you need a large grosgrain ribbon and then a thin one. You also will need a needle and thread, a lighter, hot glue, alligator clips, and patience (this is vital). I am going to attach a video because it is approximately forty million steps and I don’t think y’all want to read all that (videos are cooler anyways). It may seem like a big project but trust me it’s worth it. Two bows this size are about twelve dollars and these were about two dollars each to make and so precious! Good luck ladies and gents and let me know how it works out for y’all (I wear mine all the time!) Here is a picture of the finished product and the video that I mentioned.

Recently I have felt like I am getting old.  I have tons of responsibilites and stresses and it has become very easy to lose site of all the great things about growing up.  For this post I am going to reminice about the 90s, when life seemed to be simpler and I did not have a care in the world.

…Remember when your interaction with boys was playing kick ball because you were afraid of getting cooties.  When getting together with girl friends meant playing hula hoop or Miss Mary Mack. When the closest you got to driving was red-light green light and all problems could be solved by eny-meeny-miney-moe. When Saturday mornings meant waking up to watch cartoons on ABC in your pjs.  When you dealt with social situations with phrases like “talk to the hand” or “then why don’t you marry it?” or “do over.”  When the “it” items were ferbies, slap bracelets, razor scooters, beanie babies, and barbies.  When the drink of choice was Capri Sun, Kool Aid, or Sunny D.  When you knew in your heart that someday you’d meet prince charming.  You would be just like Cinderella and all of the other Disney princesses and live happily ever after.

Sometimes I feel I was smarter when I was a kid.  I didn’t question what would happen in the future.  I just knew that everything would work out.
