Spring Fever

Now Playing: "You're the Reason I Come Home" by Ron Pope

Recently, I disocvered this singer named Ron Pope (hence the "now playing" above). He is completely different than what I typically listen to - Drake, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, or even Waka Flocka Flame - intense rap like that (yes, you guys can gag right here if you please). But for some reason, his music just is amazing. I don't know if it's because it's so different or what - but I love it. I purchased his first album on iTunes last night after listening to it on YouTube for a while. He has two more which I will be buying soon.

School is alright. I mean, what can I say? I love college, but the workload sometimes is getting to me. Personally, it's getting more managble. On top of six classes, I am seeing a tutor, a member of two clubs, having a decent social life, and am in the process of becoming an RA for next year. :( I don't want to be an RA, really. I don't know how I am going to be able to handle it, but it will be so much easier finacially. I decided to apply and if I get accepted to take it from there. We'll see.

I'm doing some online shopping now. Looking up for the perfect gray/green nailpolish to use to go from winter to spring season, and looking at my nail polish collection, it is all pinks and reds. I want to add some color in there, like Tiffany's blue and light mint...colors like that. I'm working on taking better care of my face (hello green mask!) and nails (Burt Bee's cuticle cream).

The stores are bringing in lots of spring items. My all time favorite store for dresses is Old Navy. They come in so many styles and colors that I have a few colors in just one style. I noticed that their price went up just a little bit, sadly. But one thing I love about spring is putting on a cute dress or skirt and a nice pair of sandals and just rockin' it. Click here to see the dress I bought (except I bought it in white). I'm going to pair it with a colbalt blue cardigan that goes just above the waist and is 3/4 length sleeved and some black sandals from work for Easter.

Anyways, after some online shopping - here's a list of things I want to buy...after I start working again. I need to work so badly! And I decided to look for a second job this summer. Having no social life might have to be something I sacrifice to make more money. I just, well, I'm a little picky where I work. I like to work in retail - and I already have ideas in mind. I think during spring break (three weeks, baby!) I am going to look around.

  1. It's totally fine on the music thing Ashley. I'm white and I listen to Asian music all the time! And some of that is also hardcore rap too. It's always refreshing to hear something different from what you normally listen to. Break things up so it doesn't get too old.

    I hope things work out for you school wise and that whole RA thing. =)

  2. Good to hear school's going well. I hope the RA thing works out!

    and personally, I'm not a dress person, but I do love Old Navy. Their jeans and shorts fit me really well, and plus their flip-flop deal = AMAZING! <3
