New Years Eve Checklist + 3 Goals To Kick Off 2020

Maybe it’s not my weekend, but it’s gonna be my year.

I think I’ve been singing those lyrics to myself every NYE since I was 13. Honestly 2020 snuck up on me big time. I’m throwing a Gatsby themed party tomorrow with some friends and I haven’t even gotten everything I need to decorate for it. We’re entering a new decade which is very exciting because I can only imagine all of the exciting things that will happen in my life in the next 10 years, but at the same time, the thought completely overwhelms me. So rather than think super big picture about anything, I’ve decided to make a quick post about the basics of what I really need to enjoy my New Years Eve tomorrow and 3 simple steps I can do in the next few days before I make a precise list of resolutions or goals for the year.

My 10 Favorite Purchases of 2019

Looking back on 2019, I was trying to think back on what purchases I’m really glad I made. Some obvious ones in my new laptop and all the trips I took, but then I started thinking of the smaller things. Like things I use super often, things that changed my year for the better and things I use and then literally say to myself “wow, I am so glad I own this!”. So I was able to narrow it down to 10 things, all linked below!

4 Halloween Costumes You Already Have In Your Closet

Ever decide at like 8pm that you want to shoot and write an entire blog post? This was basically me last night when I was sitting in my room rethinking my actual Halloween costume. I usually plan my costumes months in advance, but lately all of my ideas have fallen through. I have a Halloween party on Saturday so I was starting to freak out about what to wear. I’m a little low on cash these days so I was thinking of things I already had in my closet (ignore the fact that I literally have a box in my room labeled ‘costume box’…I could probably make a million posts like this) that I could turn into a pretty cute costume. I did a whole series last year of ’13 Days of Halloween Costumes’ and while I would love for that to inspire you as well, I tried really hard to make these 4 costumes different than any of those from last year. (But still, go check out those posts). If you’re a last minute kind of person or just don’t have a clue what to be for Halloween, I hope you like these 4 costumes!

Autumn and Seth’s Wedding Weekend

I am literally smiling so big while looking at these photos. On September 1st, two of my best friends got married and I was lucky enough to be a part of their special day. When I say this is one of the best weekends of my entire life, I want you to know I mean it. I have known Autumn and Seth since my sophomore year of college and I cannot imagine my life without them. I talk to Autumn literally everyday so when she asked me to be in her bridal party I was so excited. We spent the entire Labor Day weekend all about the wedding with a rehearsal dinner, pre-wedding cookout and then the actual wedding day. I have been waiting to post these pictures for over a month so I hope you like them! Details on the dresses, hair, photographer and venue are below!

Snapshots From My 24th Golden Birthday Party

Oh what a night! From what I remember of it… I had an amazing birthday thanks to the wonderful friends and family in my life. My friends Alison and Allison (yes they have the same name and they live together) allowed me to have this little golden themed pregame at their house in Baltimore and it was so fun! Both of my brothers were able to make it and I loved getting to see so many of my best friends in one place. Here are some snapshots of the night!

What I’m Asking For For My Birthday

I can’t remember the last time I made a list of things I wanted for my birthday. Maybe I was…15? At a certain point in my life I was just receiving money, then alcohol and now I just value getting to spend time with my friends and family. It’s hard figuring out what I want for my birthday because I do so much shopping for myself and I unfortunately have expensive taste. But that won’t stop me from listing out a few things I think would be super fun gifts. I seriously doubt I’ll be getting any of this stuff, but I like making lists and if anyone is thinking about giving me anything at all, consider the final thing on my list. Scroll down!

Goals For My Not-School Year

I am so used to always making goals for myself every December for the new year and every September for the school year. I like new beginnings and excuses to make lists and focus on bettering myself. But since I’m not in school this year and I’ve just been working for the entire summer, nothing is changing. I’m not going back to school, taking classes, living anywhere else. I’m just doing the same stuff I’ve been doing. So it seems redundant to make ‘resolutions’ when there are only 4 months left in the year. But then I was thinking about that quote for F. Scott Fitzgerald that goes:

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over again.”

F. Scott Fitzgerald

And that may seem a little deep for this blog post but it’s always been one of my favorite quotes. You can literally turn your life around at any minute and I think that you can make little changes every day that can have a big impact. I’m not the best at resolutions but I’m hoping that just by speaking all of these into existence that I will be more accountable. And by thinking about the length of a school year rather than just the next few months makes me feel like I can actually see more positive changes and more time to work on these things. So here are my goals for my not-school year:

7 Tips For Saving Money In College

Where my girls at who are going back to school this week?! I’ve been seeing a bunch of people post about packing up and going back to school and it’s making me feel so old!
