another DIY post...

I know you all are wondering how in the world a college student has all this time to do several DIY posts... Truth to be told, I did several DIY stuff in the same night but I never got around to posting them, so here they are!

Painted and jeweled canvas square. Not the most fanciest or the hardest DIY I have ever done, but it makes a really good wall art. (Saving this for my new apartment room next year!)

DIY glitter heels!

Yes, you read that right...DIY glitter heels! I thought this would be really tough to do, and never wanted to spend that ridiculous amount of money on expensive glittery shoes. (I have an obsession with glitter, but always am broke.) So when I was helping out the Alpha Sigma Alpha sisters, Britnee's sorority, for their event this Sunday--Heel Violence (psst, go check the website and the Facebook page out!). It's an event showing our support for victims of domestic violence, co-hosted with Advocacy Services for Abused Deaf Victims (ASADV).

We were coming up with ways to make our NTID president, Gerald Buckley, and Robb Adams' heels pop out from the crowd on Sunday....we came up with the idea of glittery heels--but that sounded so hard and so time-consuming. We were sorely wrong.

Find out below! (Edited at 7:01 pm with pictures of Gerald Buckley in the heels!)

Week 5

I've been so busy since I left home around five weeks ago! I went back to Rochester to complete my spring quarter after a long LOA at home. Ever since I arrived Rochester, I've been on the go. The weekends are spent with me being exhausted like crazy.

Trying to keep up with the pace of my friends and the homework load that just keeps piling on has been really tough, but since it's the fifth week (I'm half-way done!) it's been much easier. I've got back in the zone when I need to do homework, I'll do it instead of sleeping. I figured out my problem....my bed. People always told me not to mix my homework/studying with the place where I sleep because that would just cause problems. It really does. Lesson learned: Never study or do your homework on your bed, because all it does is to make you too comfortable and makes you want to go to bed.


April has been crazy busy so far, I started dating someone amazing and I've been trying to multi-task that between everything else and my other friends. I hated being that left out friend who wasn't dating anybody--so my whole goal is not to leave someone out. SO hard, but in the end I'll appreciate what I did to prevent any drama around me.

I've been so busy, I haven't had the time to miss home. (Except for when my mom told me we got new mattresses!) I'm more looking forward to what summer has to bring me--I more likely have a Public Relations/Marketing/Customer Services internship with Convo, it's a deaf based VRS relay service company. The people there are AWESOME! Go to the web to get information, or shoot me a question about them here! So pumped. This summer is gonna be one of these summers I'll always remember. It's my 21st birthday, I have a summer job, I'm surrounded by the people I love and the guy I'm dating is coming down from Washington to California for a weekend!

I'm doing few more DIY posts, they'll be up in a second! I owed myself a DIY treat!!!
