Summer DIY's

My apartment and wardrobe have needed a bit of love lately and since I am a broke college student with a little bit of free time on my hands now that it is summer, I thought it would be a good idea to do a few DIY projects. I have searched through both Youtube and Pinterest looking for the cheapest and most successful DIY's for you to experiment with this summer. Here a just a few wonderful ideas for you to try out. Each is rather unique and is easy to do on a college budget. I hope you enjoy watching and trying them out!

1. Leather Strap Shelves

I have recently stumbled across The Sorry Girls on Youtube. Their posts tend to include fun and easy things to make for your apartment. This is one of their ideas that is on my must do list for this summer.


2. Side Table

This super trendy marble and rose gold side table is cheap, easy, and fun to make. Although this is a older video, I still think this is a great piece for any living space.

3. Bralette

Picking on The Sorry Girls one more time! This super cute bralette is crazy cute and super easy to create! Although it does take basic sewing, hand sewing can suffice and few supplies are needed to get the job done. The video even includes the pattern needed to complete the job!


4. Accessories

Oh so cute and oh so fashionable! These looks are to die for and I cannot wait to try them out! This video gives you four different looks that can be worn next fall or even through the summer. Give them a try!

5. Cute Clay Planters

Although these seem like a bit of a challenge to me, they look really cute and they would work perfect in any space. I am hoping to place a few on my patio and in my living room.


6. Bath Bombs

So these don't really fit into the fashion or apartment category, but they are a great way to relax after a long school day or a long day filled with fun DIY's. I think they look super good and fun so I can't wait to try these out!


7. Hanging Chair

These are super cute to add to a bedroom space or a patio. This one looks relatively easy and it'll save you a ton of money if you choose to do this really fun project. I have found a lot of different ways to create a hanging chair, but this one seemed like the easiest!

I know that many of us in college tend to rent our apartment or house, therefore we are restricted when it comes to decorating our space! But these little DIY's are a great way to spice up any room while staying on a budget. I hope that you give a few of these a try and check out more videos by the bloggers posted above. Happy DIYing!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
