How to Handle a Crazy Week!

...and not going mad!

We all have those insane, horrid weeks! Here are my top three tips to make sure you do not go 'insane' during these types of weeks!

1. Stay Organized:You need to make sure you stay organized. This is super important because then you can insure you will remember everything. I love to use a assignment notebook/pocket calendar because then not only are all my assignments in one place, but all of my plans are there too! I also like to use sticky notes and put them on my computer; I use this for things I need to do on my computer.

2. Do Not Stress: Be sure not to stress, it will only turn out for the worse, and make you use up energy that you could be using to study. On days that I think I am not going to do very well on a test I do not go to school until the first bell, so I do not half to hear other people stress. I know when ever I do that I do so much better on a test!

3. Have Fun!: Many sources say that people who study so much and 'do not even have time for fun' actual do worse on  test, but make sure you do not have to much fun!

Do you have any good tips for this?

Missing My All-American Summer

Boating off the coast of Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard

An leisurely afternoon bike around Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard

Those long beach days when you read and lay on the beach
 until nightfall without realizing it

My best friend and I having a casual dinner in Nantucket

My sister and I sister on Cape for the day

Looking at the sailboats glide through the water in Nantucket for hours on a Sunday

Meeting Kiel James Patrick and Sarah Vickers at their factory was a big highlight

What was some of your favorite parts of the summer that you miss?

Shopping Tip: Kate Spade Outlets!

I have never gone to the Kate Spade Outlets until a few days ago, and let me just tell you; they are amazing!

Kate Spade is one of my all time favorite brands. It is fun, colorful, and it is just so amazing. Most things in the store were 40% percent off, but all the stuff on sale was amazing stuff from this season. The workers at the store were always there for you if you needed any help. It was the perfect shopping experience. I would tell a friend to go here any time. 

AKA you need to go to a Kate Spade Outlet ASAP!

Have you been to any great outlets or sales in the past few months?
