Shein Bathing Suits Review

Image
Happy Monday! Looking forward to the productive week ahead... This week I'm posting a Shein bathing suit review. Often people are skeptical of the Shein's and Zafuls of the web, but in conclusion I recommend buying bathing suits off of Shein. This was my receipt for the shop. 3 bathing suits under $10, a shipping fee of $4, and a discount code which basically gave me free shipping. Really impressed by this! I ordered all mediums and have worn all three suits multiple times already in order to conduct a solid review! Tie Dye Underwire Bikini Swimsuit This suit is great quality and I don't have any problems- only thing I would say is size up. Tie Dye Halter Tie Side Bikini Swimsuit Blue tie dye pattern looks amazing on!! Cons with this one: the removable pads do get bunched up, so you need to adjust each time you put it on. The white inner lining on the top peaks through on all sides, which is a little frustrating. Most revealing bottoms of the three suits and the strings for

5 Things To KNOW Before College

1. You're going to overpack. And that's okay! Keep a note (Notes app on phone is great) during your first semester of what you didn't need to bring and what you could've brought. When you next go home for a break or in between semesters, bring home what you didn't need.  It's really important to keep your room decluttered of things you are never going to need since the dorms can be so tight! 2. Registration is never fun nor easy. Be prepared to bring your A-game when selecting your classes. Varies by school but these are the rules I stick by:  For example, if registration days are broken up by graduation year, don't start planning classes until the class before you is done. I have made the mistake of making multiple class plans way too early and then all of those classes were filled by upperclassmen. Save yourself the stress of having to do the process twice! With that being said, leave plenty of time to actually plan. Deciding on clas

Black Lives Matter

Hi! Well, I took a little bit of a hiatus from this project. But I'm back now and I have decided that I am going to use my voice to write on the tragedy that is America right now. First, I would like to share the summary on what BlackLivesMatter is, as stated on the official website : '#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives.'  The following is a list of things that I am doing: 1. Simply watching this youtube video! As I'm writing this post and doing other tasks on my mac, I have this vide

New Goal: Read More

While home for winter break, I became aware that I had lost complete touch with reading. Reading for myself outside of class, that is. At a business event, professionals with v e r y successful careers really emphasized a few books to help kickstart my career. It finally clicked that I need to prioritize books. Transitioning back to college, I rediscovered my kindle. I am currently reading One Day in December by Josie Silver. Almost half way in! Can't say I recommend it until I finish it though... In short, this year I want to read a lot more. One week at school later, I have already spent a few hours reading quietly. Definitely a hard thing to get used to when being so social at college! I plan to update this post with my progress and check in regularly, hopefully to grow a long list of books read.  Let me know what you're currently reading! Sarah xx

College Guide To: Scheduling & Distraction-Free Studying

Planning & Scheduling I have found the Apple Calendar App to be the most efficient and effective, when compared to a paper planner. Before the start of each semester, I put in all my classes. The digital format is great since there is the option to add reminders and alarms, which I actually did take advantage of last semester. An alarm went off 10 minutes before every one of my classes. Below is a list of topics I add: - wake up time - appointments/meetings - when to work on specific assignments - when tickets go on sale - miscellaneous events - time for gym/workout/run/fit classes - time for LinkedIn/networking - club/intramural sports - project due dates - phone calls (more often than I would like to admit I would add in breakfast, lunch & dinner!) *Extreme planner* Every Friday I quickly skim my school's master event calendar (frequently updated) and add things for the following week, that way the weekend begins and I have my calendar set for Monday. I es

Favorite NY Restaurants

I've decided that I am going to use this page as a running list of restaurants I would recommend! 1. PepeGiallo My friends and I found this place with a quick yelp search in Penn Station. Usually that scares me, as I like to know ratings, reviews, etc. before I try a new place-but I was pleasantly surprised when we were seated at our table about how nice it was. If you're into aesthetic, come here.  About 1pm on a Friday it was just the right amount of busy, and the service was one of the best-I was really impressed. I ordered the gnocchi alla checca with fresh mozzarella and tomato and finished the entire dish! Location: 10th Avenue parallel to High Line.
