my college senior year 2018-2019

12:00 am. Oh my goodness, you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

You guys!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!

WOO!!! I really need to blog because I just discovered a critical piece of news that’s been bothering me for weeks to the point of being depressed.

So, originally, I was going to blog about my day, how I feel, and about Twilight, but before that, I wanted to log in to Facebook just because I was bored. I honestly have no interest in looking at FB for a long time now, but tonight I was curious.

I had to make a new account because my old one is very inaccessible. Oh well. For me, it’s almost like God is permanently closing that chapter of my life too. I say that because Facebook was my gateway to old friends and acquaintances and I honestly haven’t cared about reaching out to them in years....My motto was if someone is really close to me, they have my phone number. 

Anyway, I decided to look up Twilight because typically people from my high school have FBs...and he did. But guys, I’m just going to cut to the chase here. 

I found out that Twilight has a girlfriend through Facebook. 

5:50 am. Still on my shift. 

So, I spent the last 4 hours reorganizing my top shelf on my desk. I sorted out some papers that I’ve been keeping for some years and realized I might need them soon so I organized them in folders on my top shelf with my magazines. 

I organized my top shelf for function, but I hope it still looks aesthetic. It kind of does. Sadly, there isn’t any space for my books and I was hoping to put them there. I’ll have to try again. 

Anyway, I really need to stop shopping so much. Besides food, I also bought an art book from a local bookstore. It was a book I had not planned on buying, but it was interesting and I couldn’t leave the store without it. Think pin up style art. 

On another note, if an old friend asked me what I was doing and I said organizing my room or shopping, they would sigh and say “Wow, shocker.” 

Honestly, sometimes the best motivator to stop shopping is to think about marriage. It usually stops me from buying things I don’t need or hobby items like an art book....or something really bad. 

Here’s the thing. If I’m single, I just go yolo on things I didn’t buy before or I just buy something because of the experience. 

Anyway, I tried to organize my room Swedish death cleaning style so my top self is organized to make my important folders and magazines accessible

Then, on the bottom shelf of my desk are writing utensils, cosmetics, and skin care with laptop. ( Sitting at the desk to do the call center job is very helpful and productive).

Anyway, instead of Ktown, I bought an art book. 

7:45 PM         Hello!

I arrived home 40 minutes ago and goodness am I glad to be home. I finally accomplished so many things that I was looking forward to. Like:

My graduation photoshoot

The resume workshop

Trying a Happy Lemon drink

Getting advice for my resume

Paying my summer tuition.

Visiting the JP Bookoff

Finally, I got my college graduation photos done and tried out a new photographer than Lifetouch. It was a different experience. It was fun. My photographer was prepared. She directed my poses and my props. I only wish I was slimmer, my makeup was better, and my hair was better. I ended up buying 4 poses instead of 3 because the photos looked so cool. 

Then, I went to my career workshop. I learned a lot about writing resumes. It gave me confidence in writing one. Some tips were:

Only include you city, state, and zipcode

Be wary of putting your work on your public portfolio. 

Publish your resume as a PDF. 

Write only technical skills in the Skills section.

Don’t use a resume template. 

Then, I went to Gardena to celebrate accomplishing the scheduled tasks. I really shouldn’t be shopping, but I rationalize it by rewarding myself for going through the new experiences that are stressful. Preparing for the photoshoot was something stressful and then driving out again to attend a workshop was another chore, but very helpful. In times like those, I enjoy treating myself to Japanese shopping because the atmosphere is idyllic and as close as I can get to a luxurious and classy experience. I may not like the products much, but the shopping center is like an oasis in the middle of a grungy and dangerous city. It’s like a secret club that’s open to only like-minded individuals. 

I thought about that and how the Chinese and Japanese are good at business and creating places not everyone can enter.  I want to create places like that. I’m sorry, but exclusivity is something that I’m after. A person may be able to afford the products, but still, this place is not for all consumers. I crave a peaceful and sophisticated place. It doesn’t have to have the air of Beverly Hills, but something only classy and sophisticated people want. A place where they won’t say ‘oh, this place is for rich white people’, but ‘ a place for rich and classy people’...

2 PM. So, today, my room is a bit cleaner and has less stuff on the floor, but the fact that I still have stuff on the floor bothers me. Anyway, this morning, I tried to look up advice on internships, job interview advice, and post grad life. I found the Intern Queen very helpful and relative to what I was looking for. Basically, what she did after college when she was looking for a job is what I’m doing now.

She set up goals like clean her room and get this one job. She said you have to wake up early like you had a job and work on building your resume and other related stuff. That’s what I do now and as I go along, it seems common to spend hours working on a resume. She also said to not worry about not having a job after graduation and just relax for 2 weeks. I kind of have and kind of have not. 

My job search should’ve happened in January so I could have afforded to relax, but with student loan debt, I don’t think so. 

Anyway, I write this to calm down and center myself in the midst of the chaos. I’m on the right track, but I could be doing things better. I know because all the resumes I’ve sent out are like rough drafts of a better resume. 

I honestly want to just focus on cleaning my room. It’s bothered me that it’s still in disarray this close to finishing up my college education. It’s why I keep selling on Mercari. I’m not going to let junk take up space if it can make me money. 

At least, I know where my favorite possessions are like my comics, my GND materials, and favorite books. The interesting thing is I recently acquired those things only in the last two years. I bought these things because I was bored, procrastinating, and wanted to add fun to my life. I knew that they were going to be temporary, but I still want to keep them because they’re an important part of my life. But something I’ve noticed is that I haven’t really spent much time looking at my favorite materials besides my DVDs that I can’t always watch because my CD drive is broken. 

What I end up doing for entertainment is watching on YT on my phone; it’s not as good as my favorite book, but it’s easier to access. And at the same time, I’m also using my phone for career building so it’s edutainment.

It hasn’t sunken in yet, but I really need to find a job before my last class ends. 

Technically, I now have free time to read a book or watch my favorite shows, but I know that my free time can’t be spent that way. I am still relying on school cues to tell when I should apply for jobs and etc. Besides my summer class, I’m using my career center workshops to help me on my job search. Like fine tuning my resume. 

I know I should have had these things done months before, but I was focused on school and not sure what to put on my resume. Basically, I can’t goof off even though I can.

 Even though college is almost done, I’m still busy.

I just booked a photoshoot for grad pics today.

I requested an official transcript for a car rebate. 

I completed my student loan exit counseling today.

I submitted my first tailored resume to a listing on Indeed online. 

I learned my overall GPA is now 3.0 because the repeated classes were added back in. 

I received more gift money today.

My items that sold on Mercari were delivered today. 

I felt confident in my resume even though I realized I could’ve made it better. It’s for a women’s shoe company and I realized I did two projects on shoes.

6:42 PM. It’s Friday. Officially, one week after commencement, and almost the end of my summer break. What have I done so far?

I attended the job fair for recent college grads hosted by my school yesterday. I was going to write a post on it, but I didn’t have time to. So, here are my thoughts.

The job fair went as expected. It was better in some areas and not in others. I procrastinated so much that I ended up doing last minute editing to my resume the morning of the fair and printing stuff out. I also watched some YT videos for advice on job fairs and questions to ask interviewers. 

I was expecting to do on campus interviews and an elevator pitch which I wasn’t prepared for. I should also have a nice briefcase to carry my resumes in, but I didn’t. Instead, I used a black tote bag from Anime Expo and a green folder because pink isn’t very professional. And that’s where the job fair experience came in. 

I’m glad I got it over with so I could learn from my mistakes and trials. So, here they are:

H&M’s work clothes are more business casual than professional. All their button down blouses are too low cut. If I wanted business casual, I would shop elsewhere. I just shopped there because I needed clothes fast. So, I got some pants and a blouse.

Practice your elevator pitch. I did find some advice that was helpful like what to say before you sell yourself; Basically, you have to tailor your pitch to their needs like your resume. Honestly, that’s what made the elevator pitch harder the first time because I didn’t know what to say and what to leave out. 

Do your research on the companies before you approach them which I did. I chose 3 firms that I wanted to try out for. 

Practice socializing more and being confident. When I went in to the job fair room, I acted so nervous and awkward. I could’ve just treated it like a grad school fair and asked some simple questions, but no, I treated like it was a recruiting fair. Honestly, most firms there were just there to answer questions about their firms. I frantically asked questions like do they have this position and stuff like that. I should rehearse those questions more. 

The noise level of the fair was like a club. I could barely hear myself talk or anyone else talk to me.

 I did talk to another girl there who graduated the year before. She was helpful and recommended me to talk to AppleOne, a hiring agency. What I learned from them was to look for a temp to hire job because I didn’t have any experience. 

End of list.

So, I approached the tables of my top 3 companies. Hilton, Enterprise, and Internet Brands. Enterprise was nice, but they said I needed experience to work there. I learned they hire athletes so I’m not going to apply for them. Hilton was also nice, but I didn’t like the positions they had open. Its a customer service job. And then, Internet Brands was the only firm there that actually had a business analyst job available. Immediately, it was the only firm I had respect for. The funny thing was the representatives didn’t seem prepared for my questions. But they were nice. 

I ended up giving away five copies of my resume, including Internet Brands. I also talked to two other firms that made me think about applying. 

But my main goal was just to get a feel for the atmosphere and begin my job search. If I didn’t get any offers from this job fair, I would go ham on my job search meaning I would apply to Indeed and etc. 

5:55 PM. Tuesday. No school. Weighed in and learned I gained 5 lbs. I now weigh 154 lbs. That’s from two weeks of eating bad. I hooped for 40 minutes.

 I’ve wrote about this before so I’ll keep it short. I went to Forever 21, tried on some clothes and realized I gained weight. I still bought a denim skirt overall because I liked how I looked in it and some rhinestone clip on earrings. I also checked out my credit balances. I’ve spent a lot of money and now I that I see how much I owe, it’s definitely killed my appetite. One of the things that made it worth it was the chip dip from Bridget M.from the GND. It was disappointing to say the least. It consists of cream cheese, cottage cheese, and mayo. Blended together, it tastes like mayo. Even with the celery salt, it still tastes bland. There are more variations, but I won’t bother. Terra Fina dip tastes the best. 

i added black pepper and the taste improved. But I will never again try any of her recipes. I like Mama Paytas recipes so much better. And now, I will never make that dip ever again. 

I’ve got a lot of things to do, but i’m gonna take a nap first. I’m stressed. 

12:20 PM. No school today, but I will have to go today because I need to work on MSP assignments for group work. I wasted a lot of time this morning watching TV. It was educational in some areas like Western social Midwest norms (I was watching Home Improvement). Then, I ate breakfast which was a lot of food in terms of calories. Peanuts, an apple, and two cheese tacos. I also hooped for an hour. I also weighed myself before.

i weigh 149-150 lbs. Woohoo! It usually says 150-151 lbs so I consider this a great achievement. i don’t have a chart for my weight loss, but looking at my notes and a calendar, my rate of weight loss is very slow. I lost one pound since February 20. At this rate, I’ll be 147 lbs for graduation. I hoped I would weigh in 120′s by March. I need to at be in the 130′s so I look slim for my graduation and photos. If I lose 2 lbs per week starting now, I’ll weigh 131 lbs. That’ll be a low weight compared to my past. I haven’t weighed that low in awhile. Ugh, that means I have tighten up my diet. Count my calories. 

 i hate that I have to do more this week. I’ve got one big assignment packet due this Sunday and I haven’t gotten started on it yet. Then, today I have work on assignments that need software my laptop does’t have. Ugh, I want to stay home though and work on assignments for other classes. The thing is though, I wanted to have everything ready by Tuesday so I can focus on other assignments after today.

All right. Now, that I’ve got the PM stuff out of the way, i can write about J.

J was supposed to visit me here in CA with his family. But he told me last night, they canceled the trip. So, his alternative is to pay for my flight to his home state. 

We’ve gone over this before and how I thought he should visit me first...and how my family prefers he visit me first. He understands that and wants to, but it would just cost him a lot of money and paying for my flight would be cheaper than buying a ticket to CA. Sounds more economical. but the issue isn’t the money. It’s the action. My mother doesn’t want me to visit him because it’ll be like I’m the one’s who dating him, the pursuer. 

At this point, I don’t care anymore. I need to see J so we will know if we should continue this LDR. My family also thinks that it’ll be bad if I go because if I don’t like him, I’ll be stuck there and miserable for a few days. I don’t doubt I’ll like him when I see him in person. It worried me in the past, but I’m over it. I looked up some stories of LDR first meetings gone bad....and I think I’ll have more success than they did. For one, they only exchanged pictures in their LDR. There was no mention of Skype or video chat. For the people who did use video chat and were not successful in their meetups, they relied on their phones to do it and would use all the angles they could to make themselves look skinnier. Ironically, I started using my phone to Skype with J, but I try not to use angles to film myself....I know what type of angles they’re using ( the ones close to their face and such), but if someone you’re dating is always using those angles, you shouldn’t date them. That’s not a realistic view of them and childish. With J, he’s seen me walk around and etc. 

The cool thing is I’ve discovered how to use my phone as a webcam for my laptop and it’s coolest thing I’ve experienced in a long time. Finally, J will be able to see me with a better webcam!!!! And I can put more effort in to my background and Skype dates. 

So, yeah, those are my post-grad travel plans. Travel to J’s state in the summer, go to a comedy club with him, go to a lake with him, and meet all his family and friends. Then, of course, find a job, get a job, repay my loans and attend my last college class in the summer. 

The last thing I want to mention is I’ve had fun reading my old handwritten journal entries. I cleaned out my folders of paper clippings that I keep because they’re meaningful to me and found out some interesting things like 

I can finally recycle some school papers because I no longer need them. They are papers that are supposed to prep me for transferring in to my school...and I can finally get rid of them because I’m graduating soon.

I found out a guy dumped me possibly because I was overweight. it was a past online relationship and it was funny because all the memories I had in my head of him were of him being sweet and the best guy I had met in awhile. Re-reading that old entry made me laugh and remember why it ended. It’s okay though. I’m glad it ended because I could start over again. 

I feel in a much better place now when it comes to food. My old entries were of me struggling with food and weight and now, it’s not a problem

I could spend hours looking through things in my room. Instead of shopping, I need to stay home. 

 9 AM. Week 8 starts when I don’t think it does, but after being in school for 7 weeks, I have to get used to it. For most of my classes, the new week starts Monday, but for my PM class it starts Friday...and it’s Saturday today.

Only now did I realize that we have exactly one week to work on a group assignment. I only did one thing for the group project which was ask the other PM to email me their past deliverables and share them to my other group mate.

Yes, I did merge with another group in this class.When I told our professor about our issue with one of my groupmates not doing the work, the professor suggested she merge us with another group working also working on a beach clean up. Lee and I said yes and then I contacted the PM of that group. I waited a few days because last week was midterm week so I didn’t want to distract them from that, but now it’s time to get down to business and..............................

This new group is not what I had hoped for. I looked at all their documents, from the past to the most recent, and I was not impressed. Their answers for the documents were very general and in need of improvement. I don’t know what their exact grades were for their assignments, but I can guess because my group made similar mistakes.

There were things Professor pointed out that they should have corrected and they didn’t. These are very simple things and what this shows me is that THIS GROUP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THIS CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously! Judging by how the work looks, I think the PM wrote the deliverables all by himself. This new group only has three people and I think the other two boys left the PM to do all the work by himself. It irritates me of how many errors their deliverables have and how little effort they’ve put in to their project. By merging with us, the project plans should be seamless, but RIGHT NOW......I don’t know....

i don’t want to be PM again, but it looks like I might have to be because the other PM hasn’t made any effort to get us started on the next assignment. It’s already Saturday! 

7:56 AM. Technically, not an early post, but It is early for me to write on here for the day. 

I’m excited to write this post.  Journaling before the day starts is an activity that was part of one Youtuber’s productive morning routine. She woke up at 5AM though. She said this was a good move for self-reflection. I like to self-reflect when the day is done, but whatever. I have some thoughts that I needed to get off mind. 

The reason why I’m awake is because I had to create two forms for my VB class. Homework isn’t due yet, but we were told to have our forms ready to work on in class. I know it’s going to help me out for the homework so I forced myself to wake up and do them. I was supposed to wake up at midnight, but I went back to sleep. I awoke at 6am and did the forms at 7am. And best of all, it took me less than an hour to make both. I also need to read my science textbook so I won’t be behind in lecture and the next exam (lol). Then, I have to hoop...

Ugh, my accounting homework has occupied my mind for the past several days that I forget about doing the little things in my life. Like, setting up an outfit the night before. I wish I had done that. 

Today is a busy day. Since it’s Wednesday, I have to work on the finai draft for my group project. Then, I also need to work on MSP and another textbook assignment. Then I need to create a 1 page paper for my project. 

Then, I also need to do an Excel assignment for data mining. I will alternate assignments so I can get closer to being done. One hour each. 

Ugh, Project Mgt. and Data Mining should be done by today. After that, the rest of the week will be reserved for Accounting and VB. 

K, I need to go now, It’s 8:11 am. I need to jump in the shower by 8:30 AM. 

i still need to hoop, read, and select an outfit. 

1 PM. I was supposed to start on Accounting homework a while ago in the morning, but I ended up procrastinating. I woke up at 7AM, hooped at 8, ate breakfast at 9, and just goofed off for the next four hours. I did fold a bag of laundry and swept the house some. I also weighed myself. I am 151 lbs again.  feel like it’s been three weeks I’ve been that weight. I did eat a lot last week so of course, I wasn’t going to lose weight. I maintained...and that’s what I want to blog about for a little. 

This is the first time where I’ve lost weight slowly and I’m happy with the process. I guess it could be because I’m graduating soon so I don’t have to wait longer to escape college. If I was in my first semester at the school, I would eat a lot and wouldn’t care. I also have a boyfriend too so that keeps me from eating a lot. 

The nice thing about losing weight slowly is that I get used to the new eating habits I have and my clothes slowly, but surely fit me or become loose on me. I feel like in my past weight loss journeys, I always rushed my weight loss which led me to gaining it back again very quickly. 

I don’t feel very bad about my fat situation although I wish I was slimmer so I could at least feel normal. I’m happy some old clothes I had are loose on my now, but still my favorite ones still don’t fit. I should hoop more. 

9:16 PM. I feel better compared to yesterday. I dealt with worse situations before like Finance last semester (That was REALLY bad). But now, that I’ve taken the science exam and completed a lot of Accounting homework, I feel better about school.

 The science exam had easy questions, but I didn’t study well so I guessed on a lot of them. Ugh. Thankfully, it won’t be counted because I assume that will be my lowest score in the class. 

Because we had no lecture after the exam, I left school early. Originally, I was going to work on Accounting homework in the computer lab, but I realized I couldn’t do that. Accounting homework would take forever and I didn’t want to sit there for that long. I made the right decision of coming home. I started working on the homework at 1 PM and finished for the night at 9 PM. Eight hours. Eight hours of comfortably sitting at home working on Accounting. It was well worth it.  I didn’t finish the whole packet for Chapter 3, but I feel more comfortable of where I am now. It’s due Sunday, but I want to get it done by Wednesday. That’s because on Thursday,I Skype with J and I’ve got a lot of other assignments due this week. Tomorrow, for example, I don’t have school, but I need to be there to work on a PM assignment...and then, I have a workshop to attend. Ugh, I don’t want to go.....

Maybe I’ll work on it Wednesday and finish up Accounting tomorrow.

This week, I’ve got...

Data mining excel hw

Data mining discussion board

Data mining quiz

Acc. ch. 3

Acc. ch.4

PM assignment

PM scope

PM progress report

PM charter, extra paper.

Then, next week, I have 

VB homework

9 PM. By the title of the post and previous posts, you might think it’s too early for hell week. It’s only week 6 of the semester. I agree. It’s partly my fault because I procrastinated and made myself stressed out over assignments I could’ve completed days ago. Tomorrow, I have an exam and I’m not really prepared. I read the textbook chapters,but I don’t know how much of that information will stick in my head. The documentaries do help though. I wish I had read these chapters earlier though. They are fun to read. My only saving grace is the lowest exam score will be dropped so I’m not too worried about the first exam. 

My group got their first low score on a group assignment. When I read the comments, I was like ‘crap’. Some of it was caused by editing errors, something I’m supposed to be in charge of...then, there were tasks exclusively for me which I didn’t know about because I don’t read the textbook. I don’t know. i haven’t needed to read the textbook in the past weeks because none of the assignments were that deep and I received full credit for all of them....I procrastinated a lot too that week. i was supposed to work on it Wednesday, but ended up on Thursday because I was working on an assignment the night before. 

I really hate my group. I am supposed to be just the editor, delegator, and submitter of work. I am not supposed to be doing the actual work. There’s two other people in my group and only one helps me out. The other is a flake. Now, I realize I lost two days because I didn’t delegate to them Saturday or today. II should have. Saturday was a day I wasted. I should manage my time better.

This has got me frustrated. I know I can get by without their help just by reading the textbook, but this isn’t fair. I shouldn’t have to do all of the work when it’s explicitly stated that the project manager does not do all of the work. It’s really not fair because one of our group mates has not helped out in the past weeks. Lee and I covered him while he shared in taking credit for our work. It’s ridiculous. 

2:41 PM. Early for a post..Just wanted to relieve some stress...

I finished my MS assignment for this week. It had four sheets, but I finished it in less time than I expected. It took me about an hour. For that class, I still need to complete the textbook assignment and our group assignment. Thankfully, they don’t need the Project software.

It was stressing me out during both of my classes. It seriously drives me to eat out of stress. But I forced myself to start on it and although I felt like giving up, I did it. Ugh. I wish I came here on Friday to complete my MS Project assignments. I feel better if I have next week’s assignments completed before Monday. At the same time, maybe I should keep the weekend open for just having fun. For me, the weekend starts Friday.

I started to experiment with Google Calendar during VB. It works better to organize my assignments and life. The only feature I wish it had was a check box for completed tasks. 

Anyway, I aim to finish my MS Project assignments all this week. You see, I’m typing this from the other computer lab and the computers here are sub-par. I can’t even rename a New Folder if I want. Then, MS Project crashed once while I was working on it. Ugh, the library’s computers are better, but I need to be there early in the morning or late at night to work on them....Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!

I also hate having to switch between browsers while working on this project. I don’t want to check out laptop to do it though. 

I could work on next week’s MS assignment while I’m here. It’ll be like saving money. If I work on this now, I am saving time in the future. That way, I have more time for Accounting and VB. 

9:35 PM. I finished my Accounting homework! Two quizzes. Both very easy. I got A’s on both. It was easier than the homework and easier than the last time I took this class...I feel like she took out the chapter tests because I remember there were twenty questions for each exam, but for the quizzes, there’s only 10 questions. Ugh, getting started is always the hardest part, but once i got in to it, the homework section wasn’t so bad..,

Anyway, i feel like the professor modified this class to make it easier. The mini assignments are every easy to get full credit in and if you understood those, then the quizzes will be easy. But, I still think it’s important to take notes and make quizlet flash cards. 

RIght now, I just want to go to bed. It’s pretty early for me, but I do want to get up early to go to school to complete MS Project assignments. If I don’t do the ones due next week, i’ll be thinking about it on Monday and it’ll distract me. 

4:30 PM, I am majorly procrastinating. I said I would work on Accounting homework today, but i haven’t touched it at all today. Instead, I focused on my room. Yesterday, i reorganized my makeup container. I really wanted to do this because I was inspired to buy new eyeshadows because of Youtube and because I’m graduating soon.

Sidenote: I have until May to wear as many colorful eyeshadow looks and after that I’m not expecting to be able to wear that stuff anymore because my makeup has to be professional and simple. 

So, while I was talking to J, I went through my makeup bag and moved my unopened eyeshadows to my desktop makeup container. I organized it this way so I could see what eyeshadow colors I have on hand. After going through all of them, i realized I don’t have any eyeshadow colors that I really wanted to try, like a rainbow palette. All of my eyeshadow colors are either neutrals or gold, purple, green, or blue. I don’t have any pink or yellow. I have plenty of shimmery cream eyeshadow mascaras, and lipsticks....

I guess I always forget what I want my makeup routine to be after not wearing makeup consistently. I think I tried to be minimalist and practical to my eye shape and needs. Since I have hooded eyelids, that discouraged me from buying eyeshadow. No matter what I applied to my lids, you can only see a little bit. ...Hence, my makeup container is small on purpose. The only makeup products that really make a difference are lipsticks, eyeliner, and mascara. 

I will no longer buy pencil eyeliner. I want retractable eyeliners so they don’t irritate my eyes. 

So, my makeup storage looks like this. In my desktop container, I have my makeup brushes, all my eyeshadows, lipsticks, lip balms, mascaras, and eyeliners. In my makeup box, I have my unopened mascaras and a travel size makeup remover I got for free my school. The biggest change to my desktop was m skincare section. I really have to invest in one because I’m getting older. I used an old pink mini shelf for my skincare products, makeup remover, and reorganized my haircare products and other skincare products in my LA donught bucket. I want to say I’m finished with my desktop, but I need to figure out what to do with other items that are now on my floor, 

In addition, I reorganized my jewelry and books that were sitting on my floor (in a box). I used my clear box for my gold bling jewelry and an old V-Day candy box for my Playboy and rhinestone chokers. I also plan to display the V-Day box in an easel so Idk... I do want to display my jewelry, but I don’t want it to get dirty or buy new containers for displaying them. 

 i also took out my stockings and used the storage container for my books I don’t have a bookshelf so I did the best I could with books. I feel better now that I don’t have a box on my floor. Although, that box has clear heels that i love and wanted to display...oh, well...Looks like it’s not happening. 

I would rather organize my room instead of work on my Accounting homework,but It needs to be done. Getting started is the hardest part. I’m honestly scared of the quizzes. I know they’re a lot different than the homework.

Twenty questions for 60 minutes. Ugh,,,, I definitely need notes. 

I really need to find my Harry Potter pencil case. It has my flashdrives. It’s been missing since last weekend.

Ok, in my room, the last things I want to focus on are my shampoo merchandise, my clear heel box, my VS bags and paper ads, my Abercrombie bags, my Starbucks coffee, my packaging supplies, my actual desk with my textbooks, and binders. and vacuuming my floor, After that, I need to dig through my closet and see what i’m hoarding and sell what I don’t need. That’s my goal for 2019. Clean out my room and not hold on to what I don’t need . 

Ugh, while I admire the aesthetics of acrylic containers on YT, I don’t aspire to need or have those in my home. I just like how cute and organized it looks, but I never aspire to own that much makeup. Given my eye shape, it’s just not going to happen. 

In my closet, I have Line Friends products, Rick and Morty merch, old binders, comics?, and other stuff that I think is merch....oh wait, I have some store merch to sell too....
