Spring Break Boredom

No plans for spring break? I feel you. Last week was my spring break and I was too broke to get to the beach for the week and I didn't really have any other plans because my other friends don't have the same break as me and I was supposed to get my wisdom teeth out, didn't happen. So here's some ideas to get you through the week.

1. Do something you've had on your to-do list for a while

I've been repeatedly telling myself that I was going to do some writing for a story I've been working on. I just  haven't had the time to sit down and do it. Now that I'm home with time to kill I should definitely get to it. Have I done it yet? Nope. Will I do it? It's still up in the air. What have you been putting off because you haven't had time?

2. Read a book

There are plenty of books out there to be read. Head to the closest book store and pick up something none school related to read. Grab a book based on a recently made movie like Silver Linings Playbook or Perks of Being a Wallflower. You can even look up the best-seller list for an idea of what to get.

3. Catch up on your work out

I always make a resolution to work out more every year but by this time of the year I've fallen behind. Take all this free time and set out a schedule or plan for working out and start it. The main thing with this one is keeping it up after spring break is over.


Song of the Week

Here's the song that I had on replay this week. The song is "What About Us" by The Saturdays. This song is the U.K. based girl group's first U.S. single. I've heard a few of their other songs in the pass but this one stuck. The song was released in December of 2012 but wasn't high on the iTunes charts.Within the last two years there's been a boom in artist debuting in the U.S. Some are calling it the second "British invasion".

It started with Adele and her soulful balads, continued with boy bands One Direction and The Wanted, and One Direction's X-Factor season seven competitor Cher Lloyd. The British-Irish group has been appearing on a few late night shows and talk shows like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Wendy Williams Show since early 2013. The group stars in their own reality show on E! network called Chasing The Saturdays that airs Monday nights  at 8:30/7:30 central.

What do you think of the song? Is it something you'd blast in the car or jam to in the club?

Help a Girl Out

Hey everyone! A local radio station is holding a contest to win tickets to see One Direction this summer. I would greatly appreciate it if you went to this link and voted for me so I can win. Tickets have been sold out for a while and I really want to go. Thanks so much. The link is below.

Link Up With One Direction

OOTD

The weather today was so bipolar. It was colder than I was expecting but I managed. The leather jacket was given to me by a family friend so I'm not sure where it's from. I ended up in downtown Annapolis helping a younger friend of mine find a prom dress. Word of advice if you're going to that area of Annapolis be prepared to drive around for a while looking for parking or be ready to pay for the parking garage.

Song of the Week

My song this week has been Power Trip by rapper J.Cole featuring Miguel. I've always loved Miguel's vibe and his smooth voice. When I first here a song if I love it from the start the words are stuck in my head from the beginning. That's what happened with this song.

Here's my first outfit of the night post. I've also included my roommate's outfit. One of my friends was celebrating her 20th birthday! We took my advice from my College Budget Birthdays post. We went to the Cheesecake Factory down the road from campus. I saved money by ordering just an appetizer and a slice of Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake (pictures below).The appetizer was surprisingly fulfilling and we all had a fun time.

College Budget Birthdays

So I've celebrated two birthdays away from in college and they've been pretty awesome. When you're in college you don't have your mom to buy you a cake or pay for things. As I've come to realize I don't have the money to do everything I want. So here are a few ways that you can celebrate your birthday or a friends on a college budget.

 1. Stay In 
 I've realized that staying in can also be fun. So invite a couple of friends over, rent or borrow a movie or two, and just hang out. You can even bake your own cake. The ingredients aren't too expensive. You can even look up recipes for different treats to make.




 2. Just Dessert
 Is there a Cheesecake Factory near by? If so, grab a few friends and head over just for dessert. You can grab a slice of cheesecake for as low as $3 and under 10.







3. Don't Spend a Dime
 There are always events and things going on for free on and around a college campus. Just do a little searching and I'm sure you'll come up with something fun. Look in the school newspaper or ask around. You can also see what locations around your campus gives student discounts.














 4. Go Home
 No judgement. Pack your bags and hit the road. There's nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy the comfort of your own bed and some home cooking. If you can make it home, go ahead and do it. Spend time with your family and just relax.

No matter how you spend your special day make sure to have fun and do what you like. If you have the money to go out and dance the night away and that's what you want to do, do it! Enjoy yourself!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Song of the Week

I know it's only Wednesday but this song been stuck in my head all day. I think it's just the upbeat feel and the easy to remember chorus. I was in my room all day because classes were cancelled for snow so I've been listening to music all day. I've listened to this song a few times today.

The song is " I Love It" by Icona Pop


Favorite Outfit

So here's one of my favorite outfits. I wouldn't even know how to begin to describe my style. It changes all the time and mixes with a touch of just about everything. As you can see I'm a Captain America fan. Particularly the part about the gorgeous Chris Evans playing the role.

Welcome to My Life

Hello World!

Just wanted to give you a little introduction. My name is Kira. I'm 19 and I'm a college student. I've tried my hand  and keyboard at blogging before on Wordpress but I never really kept it up constantly. This time around I'm going to stick to it. I'm a Mass Communications major with a Public relations and advertising track. Social media and blogging are going to be a big part of my life so I might as well get used to it. Still working on finding a good time and spot to take pictures when I do my "outfit of the day" post so bare with me for a bit. Stick around and see a bit of my silliness, thoughts, and fashion!

-Kira
