College 101: How to Choose A Major

How To Choose A Major // eyelinerwingsandprettythings

Let me start with this: I’m not you, I’m not a counselor, I’m not some sort of godly figure (although I like to pretend to be), but I am a girl who was lost about choosing a major but now has chosen one she loves and will be happily graduating with it. I’m a girl who found her major through some kind of internal revelation and a lot of thought.

You know those people who just know what they want to be from the time they’re a kid? Or have their entire career planned out already? Yeah, I wasn’t always one of those people. Most of us aren’t. It took some serious changes and deliberation to get to the point I’m at today.

Choosing a major isn’t easy. In a way, you’re deciding on the path your life will be taking. You’re picking a category or vague outline of potential careers. It’s scary. It’s okay to be Undecided, most people are, but once you reach the end of Sophomore year it’s time to choose or risk being behind.

Here’s some advice on how to choose a major and how I chose my major. I hope it helps you decide!

DIY Neon-Dipped Alphabet Magnets

DIY Alphabet Magnets: Neon-Dipped // via eyeliner wings & pretty things

I’m pretty sure I saw something sort of  like this on Pinterest. I know I saw metallic spray painted letters on Pinterest but this I’m not so sure. Anyway, I bought two sets of alphabet magnets from the dollar store and decided I was going to make them DIY’d and beautiful for the fridge in my college townhouse this year! These are perfect for mini fridges in dorms, actual regular sized fridges and just about anything magnetic.  They are really easy to customize and change up the colors! So, ladies (and very few gents), here are how to make these DIY alphabet magnets. There are also a ton of tips and things not to do sprinkled throughout! Read More →

Links I Love NEW

 

I read so many blogs and thus, I come across a lot of things I love. Everyone loves to share the things they love with people they like, don’t they? I do. Here are some fabulous posts and articles I’ve come across recently and wanted to share!

This post 11 Things I Know For Sure from Laurel Musical is awesome. The eleven things are all incredibly true and inspiring. I particularly love the quote from it, “As you continue your pursuit of happiness, memories will multiple and you will begin to recognize who, what, and where you feel the happiest.” Absolutely true!

For some reason I really love reading people’s bucket lists. I have my own bucket list that I always update and edit, and I guess other peoples’ inspire me. Kayla’s Bucket List is awesome and divided into categories. She’s definitely inspired me to add new things to my own list! I hope to post my bucket list soon.

Why Society Needs To Stop Telling Women They Don’t Need Make-up is everything! As someone who loves wearing make-up and hates being told “I don’t need it!!!” and having people assume I’m hiding something by wearing it, this article is so true and hits close to home.

This How It Feels When Everyone’s Hanging Out Without You is funny and way too accurate. FOMO is such a thing, and this post is all too real.

Articles like this one “What Your Eye Color Says About You” are usually never accurate (namely, a bunch of crap). This one is kind of accurate to me though, as a light eyed person I can admit that I am crabby and I do think those with darker eyes seem more trustworthy. Fascinating.
