AUGUST GOALS

*all pictures via pinterest

In the past few months I've done monthly inspiration board posts showing pictures and products to keep as inspiration, but I thought I'd switch it up a bit! I decided to add in monthly goals so I can share what I'm working on, what I have going on during the month, and help me stay on track with what I want to get accomplished for the month!

Here are my August Goals...

Save money & create a budget...

I'll be the first to admit it... I am not the best at keeping track of my finances! I need to save more money than I currently am, but I also have to stay on top of my bills I have to pay! I've been working on trying to come up with a budget and system to help manage my money. Any and all tips and recommendations are appreciated!!

Get a new backpack for school...

I am in desperate need of a new backpack before heading back to school this fall and I am so torn on which one I want! I want it to be practical since being a commuter I haul so much stuff to campus and back, but I still want it to be cute, ha! Here are a few of my favorites that I've found so far...

Go to a baseball game...

Going to baseball games are one of my favorite things to do during the summertime, but I haven't been to a single one this summer yet! Luckily for me I already have tickets to a minor league baseball game in a few weeks, and I'm planning on going to a major league game before going back to school!

Go to the donut and beer festival...

This month I'll be turning 21 and to celebrate I would love to go to our local donut and beer festival! If you know me you would know donuts are basically my favorite things ever- so put donut tastings with beer and cider tastings you have my dream birthday celebration!

Get ready for recruitment and bid day...!

Recruitment on my campus is just a little over a month away now and I couldn't be more excited! I've been collecting my outfits for our recruitment weekend and now all I need is to start collecting fun stuff to wear for bid day! Since I went through Informal recruitment in the winter semester this will be my first formal recruitment/ bid day celebration and I'm so so excited!

What are your goals for August? I'd love to hear in the comments!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

AROUND TOWN // A SWEET SUMMER WEEKEND

Hello and happy Monday! I hope you all have been having a great summer and had an amazing weekend!

You may have noticed a few changes here on the blog- I decided to take another small hiatus from actually blogging to kind of re-vamp the site and get re-inspired for the end of the summer as well as the upcoming school year!

I have a lot of fun stuff planned for the rest of the summer before I head back to school that I'm excited to share here on the blog, as well as a bunch of fun posts related to organization, school, sorority, inspiration, and so much more!

This past weekend was spent doing a bunch of fun summertime activities including a trip to the zoo, fried oreos, and visiting a new aquarium! Here's a little peek into what I've been up to...

On Friday I went to the zoo with a few girls from my sorority to get some footage for our recruitment video we've been working on! This was the first video shoot I was able to go to this summer and I had so much fun! I got to see some of my sisters I haven't seen since school got out, eat some dippin dots, and take a bunch of pictures! Now I'm even more excited to go back to school and go through my first formal recruitment weekend!

PHOTO #2: FUN AT THE FAIR

This weekend my boyfriend and I also went to a local fair and had such a fun time! We started off the day walking through the tents to see the animals, and then we rode a few rides, ate lunch, and of course ended the day with some fried oreos!

PHOTO #3: A DAY AT THE AQUARIUM

My boyfriend and I also decided to check out our local aquarium! It's no Shedd but for a smaller sized aquarium it was actually really cool! We had so much fun looking at the fish, going to the interactive exhibits, and taking a bunch of funny pictures! For sure a great way to spend a sunday afternoon!

Hope you enjoyed a peek into my weekend!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great week!

XOXO
