Outfit: Winter Wonderland

// coat (similar) // sweatshirt // leggings // mittens // socks // boots //

I always like to make posts about what my favorite thing to wear is, but it has been so cold recently that I can be found only wearing a winter coat and leggings. Where I live every single girl wears a long black parka which is why I really like my coat. The red makes it stick out with all the black around. I have also found that just by wearing a little red, it makes everything else around seem a little brighter. 

BTW it was 0 degrees when I took these photos!

Bucket List

Today is officially the first day of the second semester of my junior year. I can't believable how fast high school is going! I've been able to do some pretty cool things so far, but I've been thinking about what I want to do. So here is some of the main things that I want to do before I graduate. 

Do you have any specific posts you want to see this year?

How to Survive Finals

*image

My finals start this week so I thought a refresher on how to live through this week would be a good idea. This year finals are a big deal for me since I am so close to being able to keep my 4.0 GPA, that I am going to do everything I can to keep it. Below I have some of the tips I use to help myself through finals.

SLEEP: You have no idea how much not sleeping hurts your grades. I don't care if you feel you need to study more, not sleeping will hurt your grade more than an extra hour of studying will help. It's recommended to get 8 hours of sleep so try to get that 8 hours for a couple days before the final.

Study: This is obvious. When you study make sure to do it productively. Put your phone away, sit in a quiet room, and remove all distractions. You'll find that you won't take as long to study, and what you did do will be easier for you to recall. 

Relax: The night before the big day or week, do something that will take your mind off of the final. Have a bubble bath and listen to music, or go for a run, or even have movie night with a close friend. Just whatever you do make sure to go to bed early enough. 

Eat: Don't eat because you're stressed, but don't let the stress stop you from eating. Eat all of your meals, especially breakfast. Breakfast helps you get the energy you need to stay focus throughout the day. 

Do you have any other tips you use?

Getting ready for good ole school

// Pajamas (similar) // Slippers // Phone Case (similar) //

Today is the first day I'm back to school, so to celebrate this horrible occasion, I'll share with you what I did this break. I spent the whole time in pj's that I got for Christmas (see the rest of what I got here). I love just hanging out in pajama's because it is such a relaxing feeling.  I spent most of my days sipping hot chocolate and doing homework, oh what fun. Even though homework was a big part of my break it was so nice to spend time with my family and get to see friends that I haven't seen in a while.
