Friday Five

Another week has come and gone… Time goes by faster and faster these days. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was throwing my cousin's baby shower and now in just a week it will be Thanksgiving. So, here is this week's Friday Five!

1. Christmas Lists

I swear if one more person asks me what I want for Christmas… I feel like I have reached that part of my life where I honestly do not know what I want for Christmas and I feel bad for asking for expensive things. So, give me some suggestions.

2. Finals

Finals are looming in the near future. This semester I am incredibly lucky as I have only two classes that will have finals. Unfortunately, one of which is my hardest class, finance. YUCK! I am going to try and start a finals series next week. Fingers crossed that it will happen.

3. Bruins' Fan

I absolutely love this video! I hope he will always remember this day because it is something not everyone will ever get to experience. I dare you not to smile during this video!

4. S Club 7

It happened! It really happened. They reunited and it was so good. They performed a melody at a telethon on BBC last week and it was so worth the wait! If you are in the UK they are doing a tour, go for me!

5. UVrApe.

If you have not read the article (A Rape on Campus) Rolling Stone put out. Do it ASAP. It is insane and it will make you feel things you weren't sure you could feel. Being from VA and UVA being just an hour & half drive from where I live, reading this story hits home. Not in the sense I have ever been a victim but just that it could be anyone. A friend and I were discussing it today, we just don't hear of such things happening on our campus. Recently there was an incidence reported and our school president has made it his mission to find the people responsible and make sure they are punished and that alone makes you feel a little bit safer. If you or somebody you know have been a victim seek help! 

Friday Five

Okay, this week's Friday Five is my favorite quotes lately so here we go!

What makes you beautiful is you being yourself. 

Sometimes it is hard to remember and even accept but it is an important lesson to learn.

This one is a tough one sometimes for me, but if I need a reminder I just read this a couple of times.

Go out and do something you wouldn't do. 

Get your nose pierced during a trip to NYC. (True story I did that once!) 

Go out and get crazy!

If you are constantly looking at things you want, you tend to forget things that you already have.

You may want that dream job, but you have to remember the friends you have at you current job.

Remember the things you have, they are usually better than the ones you want.

My mom has been preaching this to my sister and I forever. 

If something isn't going right or I didn't get want I wanted and I am venting to my mom she simply always says, "It is what it is".

You can't change what has already happened, so move on.

Keep an eye out for my full length review on Taylor Swift's 1989 on Monday! 

Friday Five: Fall Scents

Okay, I love the scents that fall bring. I absolutely love going to Yankee Candle and totally blowing money. The other week I went in and spent about $150, however they had a buy 2 get 2 free deal and I prepared for my Christmas presents my mom and I do each year! So, that totally justifies that right? Here are my 5 favorites this season!

Pumpkin Ginger Bark

Apple Cider

Berrylicious (secretly this may be my #1)

Pumpkin Buttercream

Apple Spice (2nd favorite!)

What scents do you have burning this fall? Any suggestions (no vanilla, I'm allergic!)?

Friday Five - Music Edition

This week I'm going to give you my 5 current favorite songs I've been listening to...

1. Can't stop, won't stop grooving

 Shake It Off by Taylor Swift

Oh Taylor, she knows how to put out a song and kill it. I cannot wait for the album, it's going to be so different from her old stuff but different can be good.

2. Jammin' to some old Alabama with you, baby

Laying right here naked in my bed

I'm just doing my thing

You love it when I sing

Burnin' It Down by Jason Aldean

Okay, I love this song. There is something about this song, I think it's super sexy. I don't know. I highly suggest a listen!!!

3. Aww no, Conway and George Strait 

Never did it this way

Back in the old days

Aww y'all, we ain't a cliché 

That ain't no way 

To treat a lady 

Girl In A Country Song by Maddie & Tae

Okay this song is hilarious and such a funny take on brocountry... These girls are going places.

4. She might've let you hold her hand in school, but I'mma show you how to graduate

Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj

 

If you want to really jam out and look like a fool this is the song you are looking for. I love it! 

5. We could straight up blame it on the whiskey, 

you ain't gotta wake up and miss me, no, 

I hope you get lonely tonight

Hope You Get Lonely by Cole Swindell

Gah this song is perfect in so many ways. I just love driving around and singing this at the top of my lungs.


If you can't tell I'm really into country lately. I love me some country, but I love everything so you could very well see something completely opposite in a week or two!
