Five Friday Favorites

So, I've been really bad about blogging lately because well honestly,

 I do not have any valid excuse. School is well under way, 

and as I get more into my major of Elementary Education

 the busier and more hectic my life becomes. 

There are things that I think "Oh hey, that would make a good blog post!", 

but the problem is actually setting aside the time to write it. 

I should probably get used to this life now because once I am a teacher 

I don't think I will have much of a life for most of the school year anyway.

But I know you all have been dying to know what this week's favorites are,
so here you go!

1. Walking Dead. The new season started this past Sunday, 

and I was so excited about it! It was a little disappointing to be truthful.

Yes, I know that this is a zombie show. 

Yes, I know it's gory, and yes I realize it can be disturbing.

But for whatever reason, I love it. It sucked me in from season 1,

and now I watch it with a bunch of boys. It's great. 

2. Scarves. They are literally perfect for just about any outfit. 

I have a multitude of scarves of any design and color.

I LOVE scarves because they can add just a little oomph to your outfit.

You can wear them in any season, and they are just so comfy to wear!

I cannot get enough of them, and I wear them quite often. 

Here is a picture of just how much I love my scarves.
You can clearly see all the joy in my face.
I'm so excited about them that my jaw is dropped.
They're just that fantastic.

3. Sylas and Maddy's. I just discovered this little ice cream shoppe,

and it is literally some of the most delicious stuff I have ever tasted.

It's homemade ice cream and there are 3 different cases filled with delicious choices.

I went there for the first and my second time this week. 

I don't regret either of those choices, and I took new people with me both times.

The bad thing is it's right by Target, or as I call it the money sucker. 

Two wonderful places right next to each other is not so good for my wallet. 

But it's worth every penny.

4. Mail. I absolutely love getting mail because it makes me feel special! 

I mean getting a sweet text or e-mail is nice too, 

but getting an actual letter in the mail is like gold to me. 

Nothing makes me happier than when I walk into the mail room and see stuff in my box. 

This week with it being Valentine's Day,

 I had lots of mail and it made my entire week!

Granted there was no money or anything, 

but I got a decorated note from my nephew,

 which is worth way more than money in my eyes. 

Needless to say I was happy :)

5. Ray LaMontagne. This guy is a real gem, and I encourage everyone to listen to him.

His voice is wonderful in all of it's raspy goodness. 

He could easily sing me to sleep, and I have been listening to him for the past 3 days.

His music is just so laid back, and nice to listen to when you want to relax.

Don't believe me? See for yourself:

                                            

Told you. He's fantastic. Go get his music. Now. 

You won't regret it.

Til Next Time.

Five Friday Favorites

It's Friday everyone! (insert excited uproarious hollering)

It seriously is one of the best days of the week because it means no school for two days straight.

That news will make just about anyone, including me, uproariously holler with excitement.  

I mean don't get me wrong I love my major,

but still. 

The weekends mean sleeping in and avoiding homework til late Sunday night,

like any good student would. Right?

Anyways, with this day comes my favorite things, 

so without further ado, here they are:

1. Coffee. I LOVE coffee. I will drink it black. I will drink it with creamer. I will drink one cup. I will drink 5 cups. I will have it any time of the day. I will have it anywhere. I'm not picky, unless it's weak. Then I get a little stuck up about my coffee. I like my coffee like I like my men, hot and steaming. Just kidding. But seriously... Ever since Europe I have created a monster within myself because I almost always have at least one cup a day. I don't need it, but I definitely don't like going without it. And I know it's very adult of me to say, but I prefer it black. I know, I'm a big girl. Be impressed. Currently, my favorite coffee to drink is Dunkin Donuts Original Blend. It's not too expensive and tastes real nice!

2. Vera Bradley. I know that she is all of the sudden super popular, but I promise that I really did like her before it became a phenomenon. And I am not going to be one of those people who chooses to stop liking her just because she got big. That's just silly. I recently got a new purse and lunch box, which oh so conveniently matches my shower caddy and laptop case (small obsession, I know). My favorite pattern that makes up all those items is Happy Snails. It's adorable and oh so fashionable! Just see for yourself.

3. Warmth. Ok, so being from the midwest we are destined to deal with the weird weather changes, but I seriously hate the cold, unless there is someone to snuggle with. Right now, no one is fulfilling that duty so my hatred continues. On Monday of this week it was 76 degrees and today it is 7 degrees. There is something seriously wrong with that. Spring just needs to come. Like now. 

4. Cereal. At school, our campus center is not exactly known for the delicious array of food, I mean what school really is. So my back up meal is ALWAYS cereal. Lucky Charms are the preferred choice, and even more so when they have the real Lucky Charms and not the knock off brand. Sometimes I settle for Frosted Flakes, but that's the thing sometimes the box lies to you and you get just corn flakes. It's happened people, and it is literally spirit crushing stuff. This week I am pretty sure that at almost every meal I have had cereal because our meals have not exactly been appetizing lately. This is what college is though, right?

5. New Girl. I absolutely love this show because I absolutely adore Zooey Deschanel. And this week something HUGE happened. Nick and Jess kissed. Jess being Zooey Deschanel, and this was massive stuff because Jess has a boyfriend and Nick and Jess have had this weird "I'm into you" vibe going on since the show started. I have been waiting for this moment, BUT Jess is dating Sam right now whom I adore, so.... Yeah it's not cool. All of my shows have taken a turn for the worst. Anyways, if you have not watched it. Do it right now because it is hilarious and slightly inappropriate at times, but still hilarious. 

I hope you enjoyed this week's favorites, 

and have a wonderful weekend ya'll!

Til Next Time.
