Happy May Day! Today I took my last final of sophomore year and I'm submitting my last paper for the semester. Where did this year go?!? Sophomore year has absolutely flown by for me and I can't believe that I'm moving out of my dorm this Sunday. It feels so surreal that I've reached the point where I'm halfway done with college. What a wild ride it's been so far! My favorite song from this month's playlist would have to be "On My Way" because it's so catchy and has a great beat! I hope you all …
Study Break with Spirit Jersey
Hey lovelies, happy Wednesday! It's finals week at LUC and today is our study/break day where there are no finals except for night classes, so I don't have any today!!! Finals week always gets me stressed, but I've found that the best way to combat the stress is to study lots, get plenty of sleep, and drink a lot of water! One of the most crucial parts of studying for me is to be comfortable so I'm not fidgeting and getting distracted while trying to focus. That being said, dressing in comfy …

Teen Vogue Fashion University – Oscar PR Girl
The final day of Teen Vogue Fashion University was a short one, featuring only one speaker, but she was by far my absolute favorite and the one that I had been looking forward to all weekend! Erika Bearman, AKA Oscar PR Girl of Oscar de la Renta, delivered the "graduation" speech to all of the Edit/PR/Social majors at TVFU. Bearman is such an inspiration to me and her job is pretty much the epitome of what I would love to do one day as my career! Bearman had worked for Burberry and Dior before …
Teen Vogue Fashion University – NYC Day 2
It's time to recap the first full day of Teen Vogue Fashion University activities in NYC!!! Friendly disclaimer: I wanted to make sure that I put the time and effort into this post that it truly deserved which is why it's going up so much later than I originally expected! This is what happens when you're a full-time college student who's also running a fashion and lifestyle blog while balancing that with a full weekend of sorority initiations, attempting to get enough sleep, battling a cold, …
