New Internship While Kind Of

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all are having a great winter so far and for all those students out there good luck on your finals!

One of the thing son my list of 101 in 1001 is to get an internship which I did! Well kind of, I am now a writer for Uloop News. For those of you who don't know what it is, it is kind of like a Buzzfeed kind of website but it breaks down  articles by specific colleges so it is more targeted. I am super excited to have the opportunity to write for them. My first article on Final was just posted and you can read that HERE.

The reason I am not counting it as a kind of  internship is because it is completely virtual which is awesome because I can do it from anywhere! But when I was making the list, I was thinking of more of an internship that is in an office doing things HR related (HR is my major.) So I decided to count this as half of a goal accomplished but I was still super excited about this so I wanted to share it on here!

I hope you guys have a good week!

101 in 1001: Update

I drew this elephant and named her Lily! 

Hi Everyone!

So some quick updates.... 

1. I found that I listed the goal of donating my hair twice... oops. I definitely need to come up with another one to fix that! 

2.  I bought tickets to One Direction! I will be seeing them this August which is super exciting. I am so excited to have one of goals planned out! 

3. I cleaned out my closet but I completely forgot to do a post about it and to take pictures of it so I decided I am going to wait until I have to clean out my closet again which shouldn't be too long since I do it almost every season. I am also planning on doing a blog post about what I do after I clean out my closet but before I donate my clothes. I first take my clothes to Plato's Closet and sell my stuff and donate whatever they don't take. I wanna share my experience with that! 

4.  My best friend Sam and I are planning on getting each other small tattoos for Christmas so watch out for a blog post about that in December! Cant wait. 

5. I need to find a way of having these goals up somewhere so I see them more often so I don't forget about them.. Maybe I'll make a poster or something! 

Anyways, I thought I would just share with you some updates on my 101 in 1001. I think I am going to do updates every few weeks or maybe few months, I can't decide! Lots of Love! 

1 in 1001: Go to a Comedy Show 10.25.14

Hi Everyone!

So I have officially checked the first thing off of my list! Yay! This past Saturday 10/25/14, I went to Brooklyn to The Bell House, with two of my friends to see the #Nofilter Show. This is a comedy show done by three youtubers: Grace, Hannah and Mamrie. If you don’t know who they are you should definitely look them up on youtube. They are super funny! They are doing this comedy tour to promote Grace’s new book which we got a copy off since we got the vip package! We also got to meet them and take pictures with them after the show so now I have selfies of Grace and Hannah on my phone which is pretty freakin cool. We also got a group selfie with them. Not only are the super funny but they are also all really nice. The show was also extremely funny. There were points that I just should’ stop laughing. They did a bunch of little skits, acted out some fan fiction and interacted really well with the audience. I definitely recommend you guys to check it out if it is in your area!

It was definitely an awesome experience and I am glad I finish got to see a comedy show. I will definitely be on the look out for more. To finish this off here are some pictures from the show!

101 in 1001.

I saw a really cool blog post a few months ago that I still think about. It was a list of 101 things this girl wanted to accomplish in 1001 days which is about 2.75 years. In 2.75 years, I will be 23 which is kind of crazy to think about because it feels so far away. Here is the link to her list Mod Mermaid 101 in 1001. At first, I thought I would do this on my beauty blog which is Kiss and Make Up ( you should go check it out :P -- self promotion right heeereee) but then I realized a lot of these aren't really beauty related so I thought this would be better on my lifestyle blog. I haven't thought of all 101 year but I wanted to share the ones I have come up with so far. I think I am going to make a separate tab for these on my blog and cross them out as I do them and do a mini series about my experience as I finish each one. I feel like putting something on the internet makes it so much serious. So hopefully I actually accomplish all of these! Let me know if you have any ideas for some goals.

I am not going to start counting down the 1001 days until I actually come up with all 101 and a few of these will probably change by the time I have 101 but here they are so far!

01. Get all As one semester
02. Move to California
03. Graduate college
04. Get my make up certification
05. Learn French as close to fluently as I can
06. Run a 5k
07. Visit London
08. Volunteer in a foreign country
09. Have an amazing NYE
10. Go to a drive in movie
11. See Maroon 5 in concert
12. See Ed Sheeran in concert
13. Get and learn to ride a penny "nickel" board
14. Make sushi at home
15. Save up enough for a new car ($5000)
16. Hit 500 blog followers on Kiss and Make Up
17. Hit 100 blog followers in Fill In The Blank
18. Read a book a month for 12 months straight & write book reviews on them
19. Take an art class

30 out of 101 done so far! Hopefully I have a full list in the next few weeks so I can get started. I think this is going to be super fun to do!

What are some things you think would be cool to accomplish?

Three Things I Plan on Doing After College

Last week, I wrote about three things I wish i did before college. This week, I decided to kind of stick with the trend and write about three things I am looking forward to doing after college. I think the future is pretty scary. You never really know what path your life is going to take or where you're going to end up. However, I definitely feel like if you have things you are looking forward to, it makes it a little bit earlier to look ahead. I definitely want to do the three things I wish I did before college after college but I also feel like I am going to be 22 years old so I am going to want to do some other things to. I think right after college is going to the be one of the most stressful but free times of my life. I am going to have all these new responsibilities but I am also going to have the freedom to take better control of my life. Already so here are three things I plan on doing after college.

1. Living Somewhere I've Never Lived Before: I've lived in five different countries through out my life but I can really only remember three of them. After college, I want to move to a place where I don't know anyone. This is definitely scary but I feel like living in a new city can lead so much growth and exploration. There is nothing more challenging than finding a new place to fit in. Also, exploring a new city is so exciting. I definitely can see myself living in Europe for a little bit or moving out to the west coast. Right after college, I could look for a job where ever I want. I know a lot of people get homesick but I don't think I never really get homesick. I certainly get family sick but my family has always lived all over the place. I really want to go live in London or move to California, it would be such a different experience than living in Jersey.

2. Start A Career Path I Enjoy: You should start everything in life of on a good foot and a career is no different. I feel like a lot of college graduates take the first job that they are given which I get. Times are hard and loans are expensive but I feel like you should do something you enjoy. I don't want to get stuck at an office job that I hate. I don't want to sit behind a desk all my life. I want to find a path that makes me excited to wake up in the morning. Your first job kind of sets the mood for the rest of your career and you definitely want it to be a good start.

3. Keep In Touch: You never know where your life will take you after college. You also don't know where your friends are going to end. I definitely feel like the first year or so after college really tests who your true friends are. You no longer live with your friends and you definitely don't see them everyday. I think it is going to be hard to keep in touch but definitely worth it for the better with the people who actually improve your life. It is also the time to let go of all the toxic friendships.

So here are a few of my goals post college. What are you looking forward to?
