The Students' Lifestyle

Don't you hate it when you see a friend who treats Facebook like a diary? Even more annoying when your  friend constantly posts selfies on Instagram. You may think this friend needs to press pause from the constant updates. There are some celebrities, like the annoying friend, who also needs a break from social media. Here's my list of celebrities who should take a vacation off social media.

 James Franco


I had a huge crush on James Franco last summer. I was obsessed with him. However, I have notice that my ex-husband  has been doing the MOST on Instagram. Posting almost naked pictures and flirting with a fan and asking to meet up with her. Sigh.  I have to break it to my baby. James if you're reading this, please baby, stop with the obsessive Instagram posting.

If you know anything about me, or have been following the blog for a while, then you know that studying abroad is one of the top things on my Bucket List. South Korea and Japan have been in my top five countries to visit for a while. This summer I get to knock out one of those countries on my list because I'm going to be studying abroad this summer! At least, I hope I will.

This semester I got the news that my school would be continuing their study abroad program for South Korea. I was really bummed that I missed out on this last year and decided that this was the perfect chance for me to go. It was a lot of work to get the chance to even apply (long story, another post) but after days of waiting, lots of emails, and waiting in the Passport office 3 days straight, and the interview, I got an email saying that I had gotten in! Of course I was like


And then my eyes saw the price and my reaction turned to this.


I know some of you are rolling your eyes, because of course traveling abroad is expensive, but this price was really unexpected. This is only the second year that my university will be doing study abroad to Korea, and the beta group only paid $500 with scholarships. This year's cost is triple that at $1500 (after scholarships).

I only  have enough to pay for what I thought would be the initial cost (last year's price) , and had planned to rack up hours at work to gain more spending money, but it looks like anything I earn that's not going towards bills will be to foot the ticket price. And I'm positive I won't be able to get all the cash I need by July with just my job, since minimum wage salaries don't really equal up to much and I still have bills to pay. That's why I decided to start a Go Fund Me page to help me raise some money. I have a lot of different perks on the page that could be really beneficial to people just wanting to donate, or want to promote their blogs or businesses. If you can, please share this campaign with a friend, family, or colleague who may be willing to help! Other than that, there will be lots of fundraising and bake sells on my part. I'm trying to get in contact with others going on the trip so we can do some things together since there is strength in numbers. I'll keep you all updated on how my fundraising goes, and hopefully you'll be getting a "How My Trip to South Korea Went" post before the summer ends.

If you have any advice for me, please free to share it! And don't forget to donate or share my Go Fund Me page - I need all the help I can get!  

First off we want to say congratulations to all the graduates! We're seeing so many of friends taking the final step in their education and moving towards brighter futures. It makes us nervous that this will be us soon enough, and also happy that for all the people we know who don't have to take another Final. Unless they go back. And if so, God bless you.

Me: Hi Rihanna! So great to meet you! How are you today?

Rihanna: (Taking a puff from her joint she lit before the interview) I'm doing good. Living life breezy. Opps did I say that? I meant, living life easy. 

Me: Congrats on your success. I'm curious to know, what do you think of Beyoncé's latest album?

If you haven't already figured it out by now, I am in love with Game of Thrones. The constant plot twists, surprises (I haven't read the books), and great story line keep me tuning in every Sunday night to HBO. Even with my excitement to find out what happens in the warring world of Westeros, I haven't been too distracted not to notice all of the good looking men that GoT has given us. So I'm just going to this post from Shannah this time and list a few of my favorite characters from the show. I dedicate this Hottie on the Look Out post to the men of Game of Thrones. Enjoy :)

I Dated This Guy Once… by Toni Rae is a story detailing her life as a single woman. She tells her experiences of heartbreak from previous relationships and triumph with accepting her single status. The book is a great choice for women who are dealing with break-ups and coming to terms with the ups and downs of being single.
