DONE.

I'M DONE WITH FINALS!!!!!!!!!

WAHOOOOOO!!!!

finals = death.

but until we're done, please enjoy this video because it's literally the cutest thing I have ever seen.

you're welcome.

eliminate distractions

I am slightly obsessed with this.

the end is near...

as the semester comes to a close, things get a little cray cray if you know what I mean...

no motivation whatsoever to do assignments...
no motivation whatsoever to get dressed everyday, let alone do your hair and makeup...
no motivation whatsoever to even get out of bed...
the nights get longer and later (this, admittedly, is our fault, but we only have 2 more weeks together!)
the homework assignments get piled on (1 test, first week of work, and 3 papers all due this week!)
and our ability to concentrate is thrown out the door.

This seems to have effected Whitney and I the most.

This is us right after thanksgiving break...

nice, right?

well, this was the next day. Whitney and I started napping, then some other people snuck in.

hahahaha (we're not really asleep)

and then things just got crazy. Whitney and I decided that we were long lost conjoined twins who recently discovered each other.

we totally look alike, too. And after we stayed attached for a while, we decided to try and type something on the computer with our one arms working together, and it actually wasn't that difficult at all!

Yeah, like I said, we got kind of crazy...

done done done duh duh done duh duh done

(the name of the post is supposed to be said to star wars music)

I'M DONE!!!!! I AM DONE!!!!! I AMMM DONNNNEEEE!!!


YEAH. I'M JUST A LITTLE EXCITED.

erica's top 10 survival tips for exam week

...iiiiiiiit's that time of year again folks! exams! woot! woot!

But never fear!

Erica's top 10 survival tips for exam week!

(and most of these pictures I found courtesy of Amanda's tumblr)

1. eat lots of chocolate. thanks to Easter packages and Whitney's mom, we have too much. wait. there can never be too much. 

2. the best studying is done in the hallway. on the floor. obviously. 

3. enjoy these things. I promise they will be 100x funnier on Tuesday.

4. listen to one direction. if you're insecure and don't know what for, you don't know you're beautiful.

                    

I'm pretty sure it's a proven fact that they will make you feel better. 

for best results, listen to each song on their cd at least 3 times.

5. get ready! even though you feel like crap and only want to look like crap, I promise you will feel better if you get ready for the day. you'll probably do better too. finals week is not the time to break all of the clothes rules you have! DON'T DO IT!!!

maybe if you're overdressed you will be overeducated...just sayin'. it may or may not work.

6. remember to look at this. everyday. sometimes 7 times a day.

7. self affirmations are a good thing. just get your booty up on your bathroom counter and love your heart out! it really makes you feel better. believe me. this may or may not be from personal experience. because you can do anything good!

8. glasses make you smarter. it's almost scientifically proven. really. 

9. don't beat yourself up if you don't remember anything.

just breath in and breath out.

this lady will show you some breathing exercises:

                                            

10. all in all, you're going to go crazy, so you might as well embrace it. they have:

and you might end up looking like this:

but hey! YOU DID IT! YOU CAN DO IT! WE CAN DO IT!

             

Well this is embarrassing...

i am going crazy!

this is supposed to be "Daily Affirmation" for me that I can do it

So, after taking my first final...

Erica's Daily Affirmation

this is how I feel. I hope that my nerd glasses will make me more smart because I am still kind of numb from my first test.

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN 13 DAYS!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

This Is How I Feel...

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN 18 DAYS!

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Goodnight!

Merry Christmas! Sorry I haven't been able to update lately- I am getting busier and busier so I might be a little MIA with finals next week (I think I will still be able to do Christmas Tuesday :)) Today you get a real treat! My decorated apartment! and it actually looks better than this now because we have a tablecloth and a couple of nativities! and soon there will be PRESENTS!!! This year for Christmas we all wanted to get each other a gift, but being poor college students and all that wasn't really possible. We drew names and put a $15 limit that way we each get one good gift! I am so excited to get what I got Mateja! Mail hurry up!

Snowflakes hanging from the ceiling (the full effect is better, but I couldn't really capture it)

Mistletoe= essential and that's Mateja looking cute

Itty bitty wreath hanging on our kitchen door

our kind of creepy Santa and Elf in our hallway

lights in our hallway

our window- in case you can't see, there is a sign that says "Merry Christmas," Santa, snowmen, and 2 trees on the window

our food tree. it has candy canes and popcorn. I was going to put a bunch of those snowflakes on it, but they take forever to make.

J.Lo once again, looking fabulous.

the full effect (you need a couple of these)

our snowflake/wreath!

our stockings! can you guess who is who?

now for some very exciting news (drum roll please)
