My Little Desk

A peek of my room so far! 

So I'm still organizing and getting it all together the way I like, but I think I'm finally finished with my desk. The little white and blue bucket was only $1 at Target--I LOVE THE DOLLAR SECTION. I put my car keys and my room keys in there so I won't forget where I put them. I made good use of the boxes I got from in the IKEA post for holding all my school supplies. And yeah, there really are a ton of them. I used the box lid to hold my sticky notes (I also picked up some really cute owl notes) and the jar holds a few bars of chocolate for emergencies. My allergy medicine found a special little spot there too because my allergies were absolutely rampant the first day here. 

And of course the elephant. That little guy is so cute and red and makes me so happy seeing him on my desk. He kinda just moves around all over the desk, depending on where I need to put my stuff. He's basically a nomad elephant. I got the white crate from Target, so I put all my books and folders (plus Seventeen Magazine haha) in there. I'm still working on figuring out how to put things on my wall so I can hang up the string lights and other wall decorations. So for now, all that's really done is my desk. And my bed. But I didn't take pictures of that yet haha.

Christmas in September | The Erin Condren Planner

I love getting things in the mail. I think its a lot of fun opening up the letter or package, and seeing what you got. I finally finally finally got my Erin Condren planner in the mail today, and am so so so excited to start using it. It looks even better than I thought it would and came with a bunch of free little stickers and gift tags. Also, they have some serious packaging skills. Like honestly, opening up the box was like Christmas. But in September. 

Also, it came with some nice quality bubble wrap. So obviously, I had to pop it. But I just couldn't get them to pop because they were so high quality. I've never met any bubble wrap like it before. Who came up with the idea of non-poppable bubble wrap? Kinda ridiculous if you ask me. 

Not So Favorite | Packing Is A Nightmare

There's a couple things I hate hate hate hate doing in this world. One of them is laundry. The other is packing. But the thing is, I don't mind throwing clothes into the washing machine or putting things into boxes. No, the thing I HATE most about both of those chores are the PUTTING THINGS AWAY PART. I hate taking laundry out of the dryer and sorting it. I hate unpacking things after a trip or a move.

I've started my packing now and my room is a lot more clean/bare. It's honestly really weird. I've also been getting together my bedding, towels, kitchen/bathroom things, etc. So there's just a bunch of boxes laying around now. It's really hard for me to pick what I want to bring and what I'm not bringing with me. It's kinda like I'm playing favorites with all my stuff, which isn't really fair. But I know I can't bring everything. Like I really hope everything I pack will even fit into my car. Or I guess if they don't, I can do what Kurtis says and just rent a huge U-HAUL. LOL just kidding. I would never do that. Side note: seriously though, packing is hard work and you get sweaty and hot. Ugh. I'm dreading the unpacking part in 2 weeks.

What I'm Most Excited About For Fall

As much as I loooove summer, I am just as excited for Fall to come. Summer and Fall have to be my favorite times of the year. I'm not such a big fan of Winter because I hate the cold, or Spring because my allergies are the WORST. Here's what I've been anxiously been looking forward to all summer long.

Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

I cannot wait for this show to come back. It feels like I've been waiting forever to find out if Ward really is evil as HYDRA is, or if he's actually a good guy inside. I have my hopes set on him actually turning out to be a good guy! September 23rd @9pm. It's written down in my calendar and everything.

My Birthday

OCTOBER 14. The best day of the year to be born. I'll be 23, but like Blink-182 says--nobody likes you when you're 23. HAHA.

Disneyland during Halloween

I haven't had a Disneyland annual pass for years now. So sad, but it just got way too expensive to have one. But I do like to go to Disneyland during Halloween season. I honestly like Disneyland's decorations during Halloween more than Christmas (but it's a close call). And I love my churros too.

Football

I'm so happy football will finally be back soon in just a few more days. Also, it's my first year playing Fantasy Football, so hopefully I don't suck too horribly haha.

Starting at SLO & Decorating My Room

It's also just a couple more weeks until I move to SLO. Woohoo! I also can't wait to set up and decorate my space. A happy home is a happy heart.

Bones Coming Back

My favorite show is back on September 25th @8pm!! I hated last season's cliffhanger sooo much. I NEED THE SHOW TO BE BACK ON RIGHT NOW SO I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. 

Thanksgiving

One of my favorite things to say is "Happy Thanksgiving ya'll" because I LOVE Thanksgiving. The food. The cooking. The pie. YES.

My New Planner

I know, I'm so weird. But really, I still am so excited for when the planner I ordered will finally come. I really hope it's worth the wait because I have been obsessing over it for sooo long now. Okay it's been like a week since I ordered it, but feels like forever!

Little IKEA Trip

Since I'm going to be moving into a new place (finally know who my apartment mates are!), I've been hunting for items to help me organize my room. I got these little odds and ends from IKEA. Normally at IKEA, I'm all over the kitchen section. Like I absolutely love any and all kitchen things. 

This time however, I was on a mission in the storage and organizing section. I saw this set of boxes in the IKEA catalogue and they were soo cute I had to get them. They're going to be perfect on my desk since I like to have things on top of my desk rather than in the drawers (I know I'm weird like that). And then while walking in the gardening section, I saw these cute mint green metal pots. I'm sure they're supposed to be for actual flowers and plants, but I'm either going to use them for pens and things like that, or makeup. Or both. Or even just as decoration. Plus the color just makes me so happy when I look at them.
