My secret to staying organized/sane

So lately my life as been extremely hectic. I just started a new internship, planning a bridal shower, and am president of an organization. Besides not blogging as much as I would like to, my life has been going pretty smoothly. However, I can not take credit for this unhectic, hecticness. The credit goes to Evernote. 

I found this handy little application after a PR friend tweeted about it. I am all for anything that helps me stay on top of things, so I checked it out. Evernote allows you to clip things, make note of things, and it syncs on your computer, phone, on the web... pretty much everywhere. I LOVE it!

Yesterday I started putting the final touches on my friends wedding shower. I was trying to keep track of all the games I found on the internet. With Evernote, all I had to do to save it into my wedding notebook was click the Evernote icon, and boom it was saved directly on my computer. 

You can also create to-do lists as well, which is amazing. It seems like I have a never ending to-do list at my internship. 

This app is also awesome for typing out notes, or even documents. In Evernote you create notebooks, so everything stays together. You can email it directly to yourself or print it out. I'm pretty sure Evernote is the only reason I have my sanity right now. What's your secret  to keeping organized?

Summer where art thou?

Summer, oh summer where are you? Oh, you are only one final away. On Wednesday I have my last final and am officially halfway done with my junior year. Yes, that is correct. In December I will be going into my senior year. Holy cow. That is crazy. Anyways, besides me going into a mini-panic attack as I am writing this, I was about to make my goals/to do list for this summer. Don't worry it's not long...

1. Have a successful internship. My summer's stress level/happiness depends on this little number. Last week I received the chance to intern as an event planner at Downtown Topeka Inc. I will be promoting and planning events that happen in the Downtown Topeka area. I am super excited for this experience!

Every Friday I will blog about what has happened throughout the week. Not that you all care... However, I'm required to keep a journal, so what better way to do that than via blogging!

2. Finish my weight loss project. For the past year I have been trying to lose weight and become healthier. Well.... I am 8ish-10ish, depending on the day, pounds away from my goal. I WILL MAKE IT THIS SUMMER! Besides planning my little heart out at the internship, my only other plan is to workout and eat healthier.

3. Run a 5K. This goes along with my second goal, only a little more in-depth. An old friend from The Domestic Wannabe has been blogging about a program she used called C25K. She just finished a 5K on Mother's Day, woot woot! The program is 9 weeks long and seems pretty doable. I'm a little nervous because I have never really ran for fun... but I will do this.

4.  Catch up with an old friend. Whenever I go back home I always try to hang out with old friends from high school. Every year it gets harder and harder to keep in-touch. However, my best friend Nat and I always seem to be able to pick up right where we left off. I'm looking forward to hearing about her adventures in Lawrence.

Our first of many outings together sophomore year.

Four years later we're still besties. This is us last summer in Lawrence. 

I can't wait to see what this summer as in store for me. I feel like it is going to be very busy, but beneficial to my career. Hopefully, I'll be able to take time to catch up with friends, catch some rays and enjoy life. What do you have planned for this summer?

Rompin' it up

For the past year I have been absolutely obsessed with rompers. I've been counting down the days until it would be warm enough to wear mine that I bought towards the end of summer last year. I was so thrilled when I saw they were in this season! My favorite rompers come from Forever21. They're so cheap there and I think rompers are one of the easiest outfits to wear. You can dress them  up with a blazer and jewelry, or down with a cardigan and flats. It can be the perfect going out look, or just a going to class look. I couldn't help but make a collection of my favorite rompers with accessories.

The perfect look you can put together for class, study groups, or hanging out with friends.

A look fit to go out. Dress up with a blazer, or down with a colorful cardigan.

If there was a beach in Kansas I would LOVE to wear this outfit... I guess I will just have to imagine I'm there strolling along the beach.

I can't wait for warmer weather to come along so I can break out the rompers... and possibly purchase more. What are you day dreaming about wearing for warmer weather?

Time to breathe and relax

This is the time of year that almost every college student dreads... the start of dead week. In-case you don't know what dead week is the following picture should sum it up for you...

Coffee+Endless time spent on the computer+None stop studying and group work= Dead Week

However, throughout this never ending, stressful week, I have found how to keep my sanity. Yoga. For an hour on Monday & Wednesday I will be able to pry my brain away from the books and have me time. The thoughts of being able to indulge in this wonderful bliss will be keeping me going through dead week... Well, that and coffee. 

This looks like it would be so relaxing. I love yoga in general... but being able to do it on a beach or by the water would be  so relaxing. That would be ultimate atmosphere.

What do you do to keep your sanity during stressful times? Go to the spa? Workout? Shop? All of these things sound wonderful right now.
