Last Two Weeks Recap ₍ᵔ֊ ֊ᵔ₎ ᶻᶻ

 Dear Diary...

It's been TWO long, busy weeks. 

First: I had a midterm i was not prepared for and, although I passed it, that day was horrible. Then I had two other midterms juat this week (T_T). Literally been so busy between homework and studying for midterms that I completely forgot to update my blog and had to rush the "What's in my backpack?" Post.

But what else have I done this week besides crying and studying?

Owala, Urban Outfitters, and Not Your Mother's had pop-ups in my college! Was able to get stuff from Urban Outfitters and I was so close to getting a free Owala but waiting in this heat is no joke TT, hoping I am able to get more stuff in future events! I waited two whole hours in the line for Owala and it didn't move so I gave up and gave a girl that was passing by my ticket (I hope she was able to get something) and went to the library for some AC.

I also opened a Letterboxd account, a Serializd account, and a new TikTok account. So if you guys like my blog you should follow me <3

What's in my college bag? ꔛ♡˒˒

Dear Diary....

⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔

I personally take a bunch of stuff to college (commuter core) because I am the type that prefers to have something and not need it than needing it and not having it. Also, when I say a lot I mean A LOT to the point my bag is heavy. Since I have a bunch of stuff I've been WANTING to do a "What's in my bag?" blog.

To make this blog a little bit shorter I will just add pics of very specific stuff and won't add every single thing but thinmgs I consider you should have in your bag too! <3

Declaimer: All pics included are from Pinterest since I'm too lazy to take pics, upload them into my computer, and edit them to look good.

Something that any college student should have is: Laptop (mine is touchscreen so it doubles as a tablet); stylus; pencil case with pens, pencils, hightlighters, usb memory, and in my case a marker; a 3-subject notebook; a calculator (I use Casio fx-9750GIII in Sakura pink!); and a folder.

Other things I usually bring are headphones, makeup wipes, wet wipes, a first aid kit, a hairbrush, a little pouch with personal stuff like hair ties, a powerbank, a charger, an umbrella (it's monsoon season!), my wallet, small wipes for my glasses, perfume, a stapler, and some makeup <3

I usually bring a lot of stuff because I have to stay 8 hours since I can't go home between activities and big gaps. Also, the weirdest thing I bring to college is a soy sauce packet because I usually eat sushi during lunch! Luckily my college has sleeping pods and a lot of spaces to hang around during these long days. 

Is there anything you guys would recommend me bringing to college? ( ˶'ᵕ'🫶🏻)💕

Current Wish List ✮⋆˙

 
Dear Diary...

   Currently wishing I was rich. My wishlist just gets longer and the numbers on my card get closer to zero! Here are is my current wishlist and why these products are in it <3

Varah Pink Patent Heels by B.A.I.T. Footwear. I am not a big heels girl but these have been HAUNTING me for ages and I haven't been able to find a pair in good condition in a good price. Like please, I'm a college student, I can't spend that much money on a pair of shoes (even if I wanted to). The day I finally buy these shoes is the day I can finally rest in PEACE. I could literally get buried in these happily. 
★★★★☆ might actually buy them.

Sharp Aquos 601sh. I've been wanting a flip phone, but at the same time I'm not completely sure since I am OBSESSED with my phone and losing some functions would be heartbreaking </3 I would rather get the Galaxy Z Flip, although I would love to detox and have juat a basic phone. These are also so cute and would step up my aesthetic like crazy!
Overall, I have to say it might or might not be bought and just stay on ny wishlist depending on which phone I get next year (since my phone is already old and NEEDS a replacement), but I still would love to buy it as a secondary phone for only college stuff and work <3
Overall a ★★★☆☆ since I don't really know if I would buy it or if it is just consumerism at this point.

Insta360 GO Ultra x Hello Kitty. I want to make sure everyone knows I would love this camera with or without Hello Kitty, but that just gives it a little pizzazz. I'm entering my girlblogger era and I would LOVEEEE to get this camera to record in campus <3 Specially since it's really small so I don't have to carry a bunch of stuff around with my heavy backpack. 
I will actually get it for Christmas (a girl can dream) and start girlblogging how it was intended <3 The quality is overall really good and I love how easy it is to use compared to other cameras.
Overall ★★★★★, no notes. I just love this camera so much and getting it in PINK would be a dream come true!

Fantasia Forever by Anna Sui. The notes are just PURRFECT, the bottle is a dream, and I would kill someone to have this perfume. I am hoping to buy it soon and FINALLY get my hands in another Anna Sui perfume. I just love all of them and literally been dreaming about this one. Top Notes: Apple Blossom, Kumquat, Bergamot. Middle Notes (Heart): Lotus, Freesia, Rose, Immortelle. Base Notes: White Woods, Amber, Musk. Can you tell me this doesn't smell like HEAVEN???
★★★☆☆ Three stars only because I don't have space on my perfume shelf for it and that breaks my heart

⊱ ──────ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ────── ⊰

Can someone please convince me to not buy these? My card is about to be in zeros and I still have more stuff on my wishlist! There are just so many things in this world that I love (ToT)

About Me

⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔

    Hi girlies! My name is Rae. I'm a 19 years old girlblogger that spends too much time watching movies, playing videogames, and collecting expensive stuff. I've always wanted to create a space for me to share what goes through my brain everyday and thanks to a random in Instagram I found this website! I am mainly going to post about my everyday life, college stuff, the movies I watch, and recommendations of anything I like!

    In case my fun fact gadget wasn't enough here is moew information about me: I am a CCMA and certified phlebotomist, but I am not currently working in the field because I am currently a full time student in Pre-Med! Fall and winter are my favorite season (I hate the heat) and love alll activities that happen in my city during these seasons (including Halloween!). I love baking (going to join the baking club at my college soon) and collecting. I collect Monster High dolls, Pokemon cards, and all kinds of lanyards <3 I also like drawing, started getting better barely three years ago so probably won't share my art that much. Me and my bf have a oc lore so I probably will yap about the universe we created later in the blog!!

    I hope everyone enjoys my blog and please comment if you want to know something about me, have questions, or want to see an specific post <3

commuting sucks

I can't be the only one that believes that college caters to people who stay in the dorms over students that live off-campus. Who, besides students who live on-campus, are gonna go to an activity that is from 6 pm to 8 pm after leaving a class at 2pm? I have, but that doesn't mean other students are willing to, and I just do it because my parents arekind enough to drive me (shout out to them). But what about students whop genuinely want to participate in activities and can't because they HAVE to drive back home or stay around the campus during the 4 hours gap between their class and this activity. In hot places, like Arizona, inside spaces are always crowded and outside spaces are hot and in rain season they're humid (stinkiest season).

After the second time my dad had to drive me back to campus at 7 pm after my class ended at 10 am I noticed how unfriendly this university is to commuters, I know some people believe this is completely normal and it doesn't matter because we are adults—but I personalluy hate bringing a heavy backpack to college everyday just for 3 classes a day. So I believe colleges should start doing activities earlier in the day, specially before the cold season starts and everything but inside buildings is HOT. Overall I give commuting a 1/10, but I can't pay a dorm so I have to conform with my heavy backpack and 6 am alarm for a 10 am class. Also, imagine paying for parking passes.
