Packing for College

Hi everyone! These past few days have been crazy. Over the weekend, my parents and I started getting all of my things together for move-in on Wednesday. I can't believe it's so soon! A part of me is super excited to move out and be on my own, but by being an only child, I am very attached to my parents and the rest of my family and am very reluctant to leave. But on the bright side, I am only going to school 20 minutes away from where I live so it's not like I won't see them until Thanksgiving break. My grandmother even offered to do my laundry every week! (I LOVE her!)
But before any of that, I actually need to get all of my stuff from my home to school, and right now everything is an absolute disaster. My stuff has totally taken over our basement living room!


And I still haven't decided what to do with my shoes. I narrowed them down to the ones I absolutely must have, and I think I did pretty good! I am actually proud of myself.


Purses were not too big of an issue. I don't switch purses all that often; I tend to stay with one for a long time unless absolutely needed. Right now, I am using my Longchamp Le Pliage Medium tote daily. But just in case, I am bringing a couple extra. 



If I had any advice for someone else going through this, I would say definitely make a list of things you need and cross off as you go! I have already come across items that I have double of. It may save you time, money, and the ever needed space in a small college dorm!

Until next time!

Back to School with Lilly!

I am so excited that my new Lilly planner was delivered today! I ordered it last Wednesday night from Lifeguard Press and have been waiting anxiously for it to arrive. Now I can finally start filling in all of my classes and football games!
I chose the print See You Later, and it is absolutely adorable! I love the pink and green and the alligators are so cute!


*Disclaimer: I bought this planner myself, and I am in no way affiliated with Lifeguard Press.*

New Blog, New Adventure!

Hi everyone!
I've decided to start a blog! It will be a branch off of my Tumblr, http://collegegirlinpearls.tumblr.com/. Right now, I plan on writing reviews on products I buy, documenting my college life (which I move in next week!), and writing about anything that comes to my mind! This is all a new adventure, so bare with me while I figure everything out!
