A Crazy Summer

-
This summer was definitely my favorite and most memorable summer yet. I started out my summer by immediately after my last exam going straight up to Detroit to see my friend AJ Mitchell perform for his first headline tour. It was super cool to see him finally getting to tour and do his thing. 

Soon after, I got a job at a local daycare in my hometown where I worked in the older infant room for the entire summer. This was definitely one of my favorite parts of the summer because I got so close to the kids in my room. I had the same five or six every single day, all day so it was super easy to get attached and almost feel like a second parent for them. All of my kids were between the ages of one and two so they were definitely a handful and there was a lot of cleaning and upkeep, but I wouldn’t have changed it for the world.



Concerts were obviously another huge part of my summer, I went to around 16 or 17 shows. I was basically hitting one show a week at the least and it was so much fun. I got to see my friends In Real Life perform in multiple cities and hang out with them which was so fun, I also got to see Ariana Grande, Jon Bellion, 5 Seconds of Summer, Shawn Mendes, CNCO, and many more.


Due to going to so many concerts, I got to travel a lot and spend time with my friends that live in other states and cities that I don’t get to see often. Some of those friends are performers, like my friend Spencer who I got to see while visiting Los Angeles, and others were just friends that I’ve made through going to concerts. I traveled all throughout Ohio, Michigan, went to Chicago, Louisville, and even as I said before, Los Angeles. LA was by far my favorite place we visited, we were there for four days, and it was a blast. We made so many friends and I can’t wait to go there again in December, and again in the spring.
What did you do this summer?

    Wow! Sounds like you had an awesome summer. I am very jealous. I can't believe you went to 17 shows. That's crazy.

    Your job seemed really fun as well. My niece is almost 2 now and she is so fun to be with so I can totally see how you would get so attached!

    Good luck with classes this year!!

Beauty on a Budget

I personally love makeup, the artistry of it, and just how much fun it can be. Whenever I am stressed or bored I will just do a makeup look for fun, and sometimes they turn out so well. Makeup for me is super relaxing, and I absolutely love doing it, but it can be expensive.  I learned how to do makeup from practice and of course from the beauty gurus on YouTube. Although YouTube can be a great place to learn techniques and get great new ideas, the products used are often extremely expensive and are not practical for the everyday college student to get. I am going to list some great, widely used drugstore makeup products below that may help you out if you are also interested in makeup but have no idea what to get and can not afford the high-end brands. The first product that I currently swear by is the Maybelline Superstay foundation. I have relatively dry skin, so it is hard for me to find a good foundation that doesn't make my face look or feel super cakey. I don't t

The Riding Out East, Then West, Then East Again Tour

This last Friday, I went to Cincinnati with my best friend to go see and meet YouTubers/comedians, Cody Ko and Noel Miller on their Riding Out East, Then West, Then East Again Tour. This was the second time I got to see Cody and Noel live, I saw them the first time earlier this year. They make commentary videos where they watch or react to strange videos and accounts and create parody songs, resulting in hilarious content. Their live show is nothing less than exceptional, I’d say funnier than their typical YouTube content. The whole show filled with tons of jokes, crowd participation, a few live songs, a live “That’s Cringe” segment, and a Q&A.  Before the show started, I was able to meet and talk to them a little bit which was a super fun experience. They were super sweet, but also made jokes the entire time. My dad said I wouldn’t ask them to roast me because I’m too sensitive, so obviously I had to ask them to do it to prove him wrong. Sure enough, they didn’t hesit
