I sit here, four years post-college to the day, and going through my old college graduation blog posts from 2014. Every May I do this; I get all my good, evergreen college posts ready to be scheduled on social media for a new crop of seniors to read and I get emotional.

Just remembering how it felt to write those blog posts in my off-campus apartment while crying my eyes out and thinking I wouldn't know how to survive without the place I called home; without the place I cherished more than anything else in my life.

Those first 6 months, and even the first year after graduation I felt like I was drowning. I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to be an adult and all I wanted was to crawl back in the cocoon that was college. I wasn't ready and I didn't think I ever would be.

Yet, here I am and I'm ok.

How did I end up here, four years later?



Who would've thought my life has changed this much from the moment I walked across the stage at Madison Square Garden?

I've been through a lot the past four years; friendships ended and friendships began, I've moved from one house to another, I lost my dad, and I've struggled a lot with my mental health. I've struggled with my career, my social life, my love life, and balancing everything in-between.

However, despite all of that I am still standing and I'm doing pretty good, and not just from the outside looking in.

I have what some would say is a dream job, even though it doesn't even feel like work. I have all of my college friends and talk to them almost every day. I have a wonderful family and support system. I recently got a promotion at work, and I'm still blogging. Plus, I have a side project or two in the works that I hope to finish by the end of the year.

If 21-year-old Briana could look at 25-year-old Briana, she would think she's doing pretty great and despite everything, life has thrown at her the past four years, she came out on the other side.

And that's the thing I've learned most the past four years.

Everything is going to be ok in the end, even if you don't think it will be. Even if there is no light at the end of the very long tunnel, things have a way of just working itself out.

You get over that boy, you find that job, you get over your nerves about an interview, you learn to handle work confrontations, you still find time for your friends... in the end, it's all ok.

I went through the worst thing to ever happen to me: my dad died and yet, here I am. I survived.

Somedays I wake up and don't know how I got here but I know that I'm right where I'm supposed to be. Without college, without the horrible experience and depression I had after graduating, I don't know where I'd be. I think in a way it made me stronger and tougher because, before my dad, I lost the one real thing that was special to me.

It sucks, I won't lie, to see your campus change and people you knew as freshmen are now long gone.  Nothing looks the same and the people are drastically different but whenever you walk back onto that campus, you suddenly feel like you've traveled back in time.

Whenever I go back to New Rochelle and visit Iona, I immediately start to cry. As soon as I see the campus sign, I get extremely emotional and am driving through the tears. It's a weird feeling, for sure, but more than anything, it makes me happy.

I'm so happy that after all this time, even with everything that has changed here and in my life, the feeling I have toward this place has never changed.

When I'm with my college friends, the feeling they give me is still the same feeling as all those years ago and that makes my heart sing loudly.

Because the truth is, no matter where you go or however much time passes, the feeling you have around those people that changed you will still be there.

So to anyone who is reading this and scared shitless of putting on their cap and gown -- don't be. I promise you, if I am ok, you will be ok too.

You can always go home again, even if the home isn't your college campus but those people who grew up with you and helped you become the person you are today.

You may leave a place and leave people but they never really leave you.

The week after a holiday (Memorial Day) is always a semi rough one, mostly for me because I was off last Monday & Friday so being at work full time after a long weekend is always meh. This week felt oddly slow and oddly fast at the same time but all in all, it's another weekend arrival.

A lot of fun stuff is happening -- I have some great posts & series planned for the next few weeks, I just became a contributor for The Haute Mess, and work is going great. Let's not forget moving! I am chomping at the bit to get into my new apartment & my own bedroom space.

I say that every week but I really cannot help it. It's so exciting.

This weekend is going to be lowkey because the next few weeks are pedal to the metal; brunch, Mets games, and my first Fathers Day without my dad. I'm sure my somber mood will reflect here in some way over the next few weeks... but let's not dwell on that.



Let's dwell on the good things I loved this week:

Lip oils are amazing and I am truly obsessed.

I love seeing what other ladies keep in their makeup bags

Depression AND anxiety? This article pretty much sums it up.

The fanciest & chicest & most photogenic iced coffees in all the land!

Sex and the City turned 18 years old this week & ugh, I love it

Like I said, I love seeing what's in people's makeup bags

 I desperately need the Instagram Business Profile, both personally & professionally

What did you love this week?

This post is coming late in the day, but better late than never! I had my first Chloe + Isabel pop up last night with some family and friends and it went so good! It was such a fun night and it was a huge success sales wise, I already can't wait for my next one!

This week was a hard & easy one: hard because work kicked my butt (in a good way) and easy because it went so fast. I had taken today off, which I felt like I needed, even though I was sick last week. Sometimes a mental health day is the best cure for anything.

I've been having a lot of fun with my newsletter, so if you haven't signed up yet, do so now! I may do an exclusive giveaway on there soon so you'll need to be in the know. I've been collecting a lot of beauty products lately and I can't wait to just give them all away!



This week for links was a good one so take a look down below:

I do a majority of these things, do you?

Harry Potter is amazing, and this post proves it. I wish I was JK Rowling

I hate when the work day goes slow, this article gives a bit of perspective

I was this girl in college, and I'm not ashamed. 

This week will forever be known as the week Instagram users freaked out. Don't worry, don't turn on the post notifications just yet.

Another Harry Potter post, just because

What were your loves this week?

I'm always looking for new books to read, whether they're fiction, nonfiction, memoir, or a genre I've been particularly passionate about as of late: self help. Now, when I say self help I don't mean what you think I mean. I feel as though self help books have a bad reputation but they are so far from that.  Anything that is along of the lines of helping you with an issue, or something inspirational, I consider self help.

So a book I recently read called When God Winks On Love may not be classified as self help, but it's in my own category. Leave Your Mark isn't self help but to me it is because it's helping me with my career. The same goes for The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up or The Happiness Project.

See? They all kind of go together.

I've really been into these books lately, over the past year, because I feel like your twenties is the perfect time to read them. They are there to guide you and offer you advice on topics you didn't even know you needed help with.

With that being said, I've really enjoyed career & "finding your way" (especially post grad) books lately. That's why when Amba Brown reached out to me and said she had written her own book (!!!!) about finding your way after graduating college



"Finding Your Path: A Guide to Life & Happiness After School" is an incredible book to help you do exactly what it sounds like: find out what you should do after graduating. We were all defined by school. For years, we were defined by our grades, our activities, studying, going to class, etc. Now all of that is gone and what are we supposed to do? Where do we go from here?

Finding Your Path is different than other books. The layout is really unique and interesting. There are inspirational quotes at the start of each chapter (which I always appreciate), charts and diagrams throughout the book to spark inspiration and helpfulness. The illustrations throughout the book make it really different and just gives a different vibe than any other book I've read of this type.

What I appreciate most is Amba's advice. She is just like us -- she was finding her way after school and it lead her to this book. She doesn't tell you to follow the traditional path, she gives you the advice you need in order to follow your own path. Whether that is a career, travel, more schooling. This book gives you the power and advice you need to do what is right for you.

I really do also enjoy how this isnt' laid out like a traditional book. There are lots of lists and bullet points, and questions throughout it. It's easy to read and I appreciate that.

Whether it's how to set goals, the importance of travel, or if you should go back to school after leaving school-- this book covers everything.

It was an easy, quick read and I think it's something that everyone in their twenties, whether you're just out of school or a few years, should read. It's helpful beyond words and I'm so thankful I stumbled upon it.

Thank you, Amba!

Head to her website to buy the book!

We're hours away from the new year and I'm feeling a little indifferent. I don't feel nostalgic in any shape or form , which is weird because New Years Eve always brings out the nostalgia. Maybe it's because I've been caught up in work or because I am very happy to see 2015 go.

This was a difficult year, in a few different ways. It was the first full year I was out of college and I felt the post grad crisis hard. I was confused, anxious, nervous, worrisome, and not happy in many ways. I was struggling with a lot of things and didn't know which way was up.

It wasn't until a few months ago that I finally felt calm. I didn't feel like I was crazy nor did I feel like I didn't have my shit together. My anxiety calmed down, I calmed down, work was good, my social life was good...everything finally felt like it was falling into place.



I'm looking forward to the new year in a way that I hope will be a little calmer than 2015. I need some stability and I hope 2016 will be even better in that sense.

I classified 2014 as the best year of my life, and in so many ways it was. 2015 was less than perfect, and I hope we can go back to basics in an even number.

In 2016, I hope that I can achieve what I've been wanting to achieve in work, in the blog, in my personal life. I want to start writing more, both freelance and creatively. I want to put more time and effort into my blog and into my own social media.

I want to save money instead of spending it. I want to travel a lot more, and go out and see the world. I finally have the desire to have more of a social life and make plans with my friends and go out and actually do things!

There are so many things that I want to do and I think 2016 may be the year that I do it.

Happy New Year everyone!!

It was almost a year ago that I finally sat down and posted in 101 in 1001 list. A list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. The idea was originally inspired by Mackenzie Horan of Design Darling and it was something I had been wanting to do for a while.

I still have more than a year to accomplish everything and I'm pretty confident that I can get almost everything done. (October 4th, 2017 is the end date) I figured since it's been almost a year and I've accomplished a lot already, I wanted to give an update on how I'm doing!

I encourage everyone to create their own list. It's sort of like a bucket list but with mundane and extraordinary things all mixed together. From saving money to getting published to visiting museums,  I put everything I could think of on this list.

 I'm really proud of everything I've done in the past year and I hope I can achieve more in the next!

(Everything in bold is what I have accomplished)



 1. Come up with 101 things and inspire someone else to do the same

Good morning! I'm actually writing this as I post which is different for me because I always write my posts the night/few days before. Last night I didn't get home until 10 PM and was out like a light by 11:30. 

I don't usually post Thursday Inspirations but it's Wednesday night, I'm exhausted and didn't post on Wednesday and didn't want to not post on Thursday.

It's been quite the week at work, and I'm feeling kind of down and just not up for blogging. I hate that...when I have so many great posts planned and then I get thrown off by something and don't have the motivation or energy to put into it.

I am excited for the weekend (I'm off tomorrow) and Christmas next week so I hope that'll brighten my mood a little bit!

For now though, here's a little inspiration to get you to Friday!

I always get sad at the beginning of December because my favorite season is on its way out. I feel like once December 26th comes, I have nothing to look forward too. My birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are gone and it's one step closer to Spring. UGH

But November was a good month and I think it went at a decent speed. Thanksgiving was great and my birthday yesterday was really good, it felt like my birthday for the first time in a few years.

The one thing I failed at this month? No Buy November. I not only failed but I failed miserably. The Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals got to me and I just went insane. December will be different. It has to be. I am overwhelmed with my belongings and I'm starting to get nervous with my finances.

So No Buy December (aside from two more Christmas gifts) is going to be a thing. I am sticking to it this time.



November was good, December will be better. I'm ready for 2016 as well.

November was also filled with lots of amazing products and services that I couldn't stop using.



1. Anastasia Beverly Hills Self Made Palette: I love that none of Anastasia's eyeshadow palettes are permanent and every few months we get a new one to lust over. I've been waiting for the right palette to splurge on, espeically because all of her palettes are under $40 and the moment I saw the Self Made Palette, I knew I needed it. I went to the Sephora near work the day after seeing it and grabbed the last one off the shelf. I was in an eyeshadow funk before buying this but this restored my faith in eyeshadow. I wear eyeshadow every day now and have really gotten comfortable doing different looks that are outside my comfort zone. The shadows are super pigmented, buttery, soft and smooth. If the colors are colors I like, I will for sure be buying her palettes in the future!

2. Lilly Pulitizer Agenda: I spoke about this earlier in the month and I traded in my ban.do planner for my beloved Lilly one. Since getting my planner, I've felt totally more like myself. I plan accordingly, I get a lot more work done, and I just feel more organized. The print is so 'my print' and I've fallen totally back in love with Lilly Pulitzer.




3. Becca Champagne Glow Palette: Another palette, but how could I resist? I Instagrammed this palette when I got it in the mail and honestly, I haven't stopped using it. I was also in a little bit of a highlighter rut but this changed everything. I already knew I loved Champagne Pop by Jaclyn Hill but having Pearl & Blushed Copper is such a nice little package deal. I like to mix Champagne Pop & Pearl together (Pearl is the white highlight) and I use Blushed Copper as a sparkly blush; it adds the perfect amount of sheen and glimmer to your cheeks. This is also such a great travel palette! (The palette isn't available anymore but you can still get Champagne Pop here)

4. Poshmark: I talked about this handy little app two years ago but I just rediscovered it and I'm addicted. I love the thrill of selling items and getting paid for virtually doing nothing. I decided to start selling my old, unused items because I was feeling so cluttered. I now feel so much better knowing I'm slowly getting rid of stuff! I really need to look through my draws and closets to find some more things to sell but I'm doing good!

5. Mint: I won't go into too much detail since I did an entire post on this app this month but my goodness, it's changing the way I think about money... even though I did fail at No Buy November!

I'm sure there were other items I loved this month but these were by far my favorites!

What were your favorites this month? Happy December everyone!

Today I turn 23 years old and I can't believe we've come this far. I don't feel 23. I feel like I'm still 16. I don't feel like I can be considered an adult because I don't understand things like taxes or know how to control myself in aspects of shopping.

I still live at home and share a room with my sister. I don't feel like I commute into Manhattan everyday for my dream job, or that I have a boss or coworkers that count on me. I don't feel like I'm responsible enough to handle all of those responsibilities.

I still long for my college friends and my college campus. I still wear my sorority letters and reminisce about the fraternity mixers I attended.

I don't feel like I'm 23 years old but here we are.

With that being said, I do think I've grown and matured over the years, especially this past year. 22 was a really difficult year for me, in more ways than one. I struggled with money, adjusting to post grad, some personal woes, my anxiety, finding a job, accepting that I liked my job, and everything in between. It was not easy but I have come out on the other side and I think from here, the only way is up.

1. Communication is key: If something is bothering you, the best thing to do is talk about it. Whether you're mad at a friend, your mom, or someone else, it's important to let it out. I am known for talking things to death, because it makes me feel better, but it's extra important to face your concerns and go directly to the person you have a problem with. This sounds like common sense, but I used to let a lot of things go but now I try to face them head on.

2. No one will help you but yourself: This took a while for me to figure out. I have a lot of issues with anxiety, and it was affecting my life in so many ways. I was kind of waiting for something to happen for me to snap out of it but it didn't happen. My anxiety got worse and worse until I made the decision to fix it. I'm planning another post on this, more in depth, but I got myself on anti anxiety medication and honestly, I feel like a new person. I changed my life in the past few months and it's helped in such a huge way. No one will take care of you if you can't take care of yourself.

3. It's ok to say no: I had an issue with saying no to a lot of things; to plans, to helping someone out -- you name it! I realized this past year that if it isn't going to make me happy or if I am going to dread it, what is the point of doing it? I don't need to make excuses for something I don't want to do. I just need to say no. If it's not going to hurt the other person's feelings, or put them out, then I need to do what I need to do. I am the only one who can make myself happy so I need to do what is right for me.  This was a huge revelation for me and totally added to my happiness.

4. Think before you speak: Another common sense notion but something I really took to heart recently. I am a very emotional, act right now, type of person. If something was bothering me, I acted right then and there, purely on emotions. Afterwards, no matter the outcome, I felt like an idiot and knew I should've waited to say something. This could go against my "communication is key" philosophy but it's totally different. I'm talking about getting through the emotional stage before bursting out with whatever is on your mind. If you're acting out of emotion, you are not thinking clearly and you may feel differently once you calm down. Thinking and processing your emotions before speaking or acting will make a huge difference in all relationships.

5. Treat yourself: This is my big philosophy, clearly because I'm a shopacholic but I don't mean buying yourself something every week. I'm talking about little treats. If you're having a bad day, or you know the day will be stressful do things to make life a little easier and sweeter. Buy yourself that expensive latte, or have a nice big breakfast or lunch. My thing is always if I had a stressful day at work, I'll treat myself to taking the express bus home rather than the subway. It's the little things in life-- I am a firm believer in that.

6. Good friends: Good friends will always be there, no matter what. I savor my friendships where I could not see or talk to someone for weeks and we pick up right where we left off. I think that speaks volumes of how you feel about each other, and I've really cherished that. This may not be something I learned, but in a way it is. I learned that you don't need to talk to someone every day to have a connection. Your friends are your friends, forever.

The last lesson that I live by?

I had another post planned for today, a post I've been putting off for weeks but I just wasn't into it. It's one of those lazy Sundays and I've been up since 7:00 AM. It's now 11:30 AM and I am crashing.

Before 10 AM I made Cinnamon Rolls, did yoga, made my bed, and cleaned the kitchen so clearly I am beyond tired. Saturday mornings I like to lay in bed until noon but Sundays I always get shit done around the house.

I'm planning on cooking Chicken and Dumpling soup in the crock pot for dinner today, all from scratch so it'll definitely be a restful Sunday at home. I stayed in all weekend expect for a trip to see my family's new frozen yogurt shop, and honestly, it was much needed.

I've been really pushing myself to go out every weekend and it's been great but sometimes I do need a break. The holidays are coming up, work is going to get really busy, and I was just getting over being sick so a weekend in, alone, was definitely needed. I cooked a bunch on Saturday: gnocchi mac & cheese, and apple harvest cookies. I love cooking when I have the time and the house is nice and quiet, it's such a guilty pleasure.

Like I said, things have been going well. I have my anxiety under control, I'm enjoying everything a little more than I used too, and I just feel good all around. Life isn't so bad. There are always bad days but I've learned to handle them a lot better and things just feel ok.

I still have things I want to do and still need to find motivation sometimes to actually do them, but it's so much better than it used too. I'll probably dedicate a whole post to anxiety at some point because it's something so common and something not a lot of people understand or talk about.

That's enough rambling for now -- take a look at what I've been up to lately :)

How I spend a typical Monday night :)

#NationalDessertDay @ work

My BB LE Box & some new books #shopping haul

I really liked my lipstick & necklace

#Sundaze

Oh, I died my hair dark brown a few weeks ago & I love it!

I scored the new Becca Cosmetics Champagne Glow Palette--expect a review soon!

I was alone in Starbucks waiting for my boss to go social media prop shopping! #worklife

I also needed this Anastasia Beverly Hills Palette--review coming on this as well :)

My friends & I went to an amazing BBQ place in Manhattan last week and it was heavenly!

This was my morning on Saturday :)

What has everyone else been up too lately?

Please do not judge all my spending habits/credit card debt/etc :) 

If you read yesterday's post, you'll know that I'm starting to save up some money and stop spending so much on frivolous items. We're on day 4 and so far, so good!

I've always had problems saving money, actually putting money away for a rainy day. Whenever I have a dollar in my pocket, I spend it. I've been like that my entire life but as I've gotten older, I've of course learned the importance of savings.

Also, as I've gotten older, I've learned about the dread of bills and student loans. Because of all the things I need to pay monthly, I knew I needed to get on track. I'm of course a big organizer and planner and I like knowing what is going to happen before it does.

I knew I needed a neat and organized way to know how much money I was spending on a daily basis as well as what bills were upcoming. I've done pretty good so far with just a physical planner and my bank account app on my iPhone but I knew there were different ways.

I wanted to get good at budgeting and keeping a budget and being a responsible adult. I discovered Mint a year or two ago but I wasn't mature enough or smart enough or ready to use it. I started using it at the end of September and I think it's really helped.



Mint is a website/app that helps with budgeting, paying bills, your credit score, property investments, etc. Basically what I do is I have budgets created for all the things I spend my money on each month. I have all the budgets set a little above what my actual budget is just so I don't go over too many times.

These are the budgets I have laid out:



Bills & Utilities: $350
Shopping: $300
Public: $130
Food & Dining: $100
Coffe Shops: $60
Misc: $100

I have Mint hooked up to all my bank accounts (checking & savings), my student loan accounts, and my credit cards. It takes all of these into account and every time I make a charge, it categorizes the charge into the appropriate budget.

It does everything automatically which is half the battle.



The other part of Mint I really love? Bill reminders and alerts. Every time I have a bill coming up, Mint lets me know that it's approaching; and every time I'm charged something a little extra (like credit card interest), it alerts me of that too.



Mint also provides your credit score which is super handy for keeping things on track and it provides you with ways to help save. Mint has a lot of information in every nook and cranny--so much that it's overwhelming. I definitely don't use all the resources that Mint provides, just the basic uses. As I get older, as I make more money, I'm sure I will start to use everything else Mint has to offer.

A very convenient part of Mint is the iPhone app that they have. It's set up just like the website but in the palm of your hand.

That is a brief overview of Mint but if you want anything more in depth or have any questions, ask away and I'll be happy to answer!

Do you like these types of posts? Non beauty, more adulthood type of posts? I think I really like them so I may be doing more of them in the future! 

What is your favorite way to track your spending?

I make it very well known on the blog, on my social media, to my friends, my family, my co-workers, the people on the street(ok that's a lie) that I have a shopping problem.

I'm pretty sure I get it from my mother who, when I was younger, was constantly shopping. Between handbags and home goods, the woman could shop for hours. I actually can't stand shopping with her because it takes FOREVER to get her out of the store.

With that being said, it's in my genes to love to shop. The issue has gotten worst as I've gotten older because clearly, I have some more money in my pocket now than I did when I was 16 years old. With every pay check I get, I find something to buy. I plot my purchases weeks in advance, gearing up for when I can click onto the website of my choice and buy it.

I sometimes can actually feel the addiction flowing through my veins and I just need to buy something. My goodness, it's a huge issue.

I mean, it could be worst. I always pay my bills on time, I'm paying my student loans, and then I shop. It does become an issue where I shop so much after my bills are paid that I don't have money to buy a coffee.

It also doesn't help that my mom is kind of fed up with getting packages addressed to me every day and I don't want to listen to her yelling anymore. (I really sound like an adult, don't I?)

It hit me the past few weeks, because I spent so much money on nonsense in October. I had to recently put $300 into my car for new brakes, and money is starting to make me nervous. I need to stop spending money on frivolous items. I don't need that lipstick from Rite Aid, I don't need another candle, I could put that money into my savings account and start really saving for an apartment, or my own car and stop sharing with my sister.

I also am starting to get overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I have. I feel like I'm drowning in my clutter and it needs to stop. I've gotten a lot better at organizing, throwing old things away, and clearing the clutter in a way that makes me feel relived.



It was just recently that I decided to do No Buy November. I've tried this before -- a few years ago I gave up shopping for Lent and I succeeded.

My goal is to not buy anything I don't need -- no random trips to the drugstore, no Sephora runs, minimal food & drink purchases. I really want to see if I could do this so I know that I can. I have no will power but I want to prove it to myself.

There will be two acceptations -- Christmas shopping for my family on Black Friday & Cyber Monday AND the Sephora VIB sale which I've heard is coming up next week. This is the semi annual sale that Sephora does where VIB and VIB Rogue gets 20% off their entire purchase. This doesn't come along too often and as a new VIB, I'm giving myself a pass. Otherwise, that is it. I am buying NOTHING in November.

If I can achieve this, I will try to do it in December too.

Who wants to do it with me? We can help each other battle the shopping addiction :)

Ooof, it's finally Friday!! This week felt like it took forever and I was super cranky. I haven't had a "bad week" in a while but this week everything caught up with me.

Honestly, I'm being a baby but I just wanted the week to be over. Nothing happened, nothing was getting to me--I was just not about it. The biggest source of my crankiness though was probably my commute.

It takes me about an hour and 15 minutes to get to and from work on the subway but this week the MTA decided to screw all of New York over. It took me two hours to get to work one day and almost two hours to get home another day. It's just been unbearable and it got to me.

I also think I'm getting sick and the weather has been so ridiculous lately; yesterday it was 70 degrees in New York and it's almost November!!!

UGH.

End.Rant

I promise I'm done whining ;)

It is Halloween weekend and I have zero plans. That is totally fine with me. I had places to go if I wanted too but Manhattan on Halloween? That sounds worst than New Years Eve in the city. Give me some wine, popcorn, and a scary movie and I'll be good to go.

Halloween has lost its appeal in post grad life, in my opinion. Halloween was THE HOLIDAY in college and it lasted all weekend but nowadays, I forget what day of the week it is.

One last thing! Did anyone update their iPhone to ios9 (or ios9.1--whatever it is) and get the new emojis? The new emojis and the entire update is giving me life. It's my favorite iPhone update yet!

Enough rambling, let's get to the good stuff.



The internet was on point this week and there was so much good stuff:

The struggle of blogger life is alive & well

Chronically tired but constantly thinking about everything? YEP

This kind of sounds like the story of my life so I think stress is just my middle name

All of the beauty products in this article are amazing and I want them ALL

I've learned a lot about anxiety in the past few years, and this is all great advice

I WILL USE EVERY INSTAGRAM CAPTION ON THIS LIST #DRAKE 

#TeamSleep #AlwaysTired


As you can tell from my article choices, it was a lot of stress, anxiety, and tiredness haha!

Have a good weekend everyone :)
