Why I chose the iPhone 7

Many people don’t like the iPhone 7. Here’s why I do.

Maybe I’m just following the bandwagon or the latest trend, but I have been highly anticipating the iPhone 7 release. 

If you read this blog, you’ll know I’m a bit obsessive in my research. I discovered that pretty much everyone who had speculated the design of the upcoming iPhone predicted 2 things: no headphone jack, water resistance. At least I was prepared for the news.

The first reason I chose to get the iPhone 7 was because of the water resistance. I, like many of you (unless you’re all amazing super humans, which I guess is possible) have dropped an electronic device in the toilet. I just forgot it was in my pocket, and there it ended up, in the bottom of the bowl. So the insurance of having a water resistant phone is a HUGE relief.

The second reason I chose to get the iPhone 7 was because I wanted to see if the design of the 6 was tested and true, primarily the size. I really loved the size of the iPhone 5. However, I’ve seen a lot of positive response to the bigger size phones and I’m ready to give it a try. Since the 7 has the same dimensions at the 6, I figure that I’ll take the risk. 

The third reason I chose to get the iPhone 7 is because of the battery life. I am so tired of having to charge my phone more than once a day! I just want to be able to charge it at night, and have it last me until the next night. 

The fourth reason I chose to get the iPhone 7 is because I really NEED a new phone. My current phone doesn’t have a home button because it broke off, the glass is not just cracked, it is falling out in chunks. If you guys really want, I’ll post a picture, but to be honest, I’m pretty ashamed of the current state of my phone. So, if you want to see the mess that my current phone is, comment below!

Finally, the reason that I’m choosing the iPhone 7 is because I like that there’s no headphone jack. I know people probably disagree with me, but that’s fine. I think that the wires from traditional headphones are annoying and get in the way. I’m excited to get my Bluetooth headphones and to be able to have my phone anywhere and not have it all be a pain.

Comment your thoughts on the iPhone 7 below! What do you like about it? What don’t you like?

P.S. My phone just came in! I'll do an unboxing post soon!

Things To Do In College

Things to do in college:

No matter where we are, there will always be that nagging thought that “there’s nothing to do” or “I’m so bored”. I know that I am definitely guilty of this, especially being on a college campus away from what I’m used to, I just really know what to do.

I’ve found that by doing these things, I have so many opportunities that I’m always on my next adventure!

1- LOOK FOR ON CAMPUS EVENTS!

Your school definitely has a lot of activities to keep students busy, but not all of those are advertised. Keep a close eye on your college’s campus events page. 

Since I go to Arizona State University, I’ll use the ASU events page as an example. 

Just search your college and events. So, for example, I just type into google “ASU events”

Usually, your college’s official events page pops up.

ASU’s looks like this: 

Then, if you continue to use the only thing that keeps me going (Google), and you just search through the first page of results (no one ever goes to the second page of results, and if you do, I’m amazed at your commitment), then you should find something campus-related near you. 

A lot of times, your school will host concerts, art galleries, movie nights, carnivals, and just general fun events to go to!

2- LOOK AT YOUR LOCAL GYM (OR CAMPUS GYM)!

Your local fitness center likely has lots of promotional classes that you can take. Taking a class in a fitness environment really helps you discover new things.

I did this recently by attending a Sunday morning wake up Yoga and I was AMAZED! I loved it! Plus, through the ASU Fitness Center, the class was free, and I was around people of my own age range. 

You can probably find these events and classes either in your gym or on their website. Don’t be afraid to ask staff for advice on upcoming or current events!

This is a great thing that you can do by yourself or with a friend.

If you’re like me, this is also a good way to tell yourself that you’re being fit, even if you only go once a week. 

3- EXPLORE!

This one is really simple, but, just look around! Simply just by taking a walk around where you live or going on a hike, trying a new restaurant, shopping at a new store, or even just trying to get to the top of the tallest buildings on campus, you can find awesome new things!

Fun fact: did you know that ASU has a hidden courtyard that you have to go through an underground tunnel-like thing to get to? I didn’t either until I just went around exploring!

4- HANG OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

A night with friends is never a night wasted. Even if it’s just sitting down and talking, you’ll surely get something out of it. 

Plus, if you’re indecisive like me, you can make them decide what to do! (win-win)

You’ll cherish the memories, and cure yourself of that wretched boredom while making great relationships!

Don’t forget to put your schoolwork first, but if you’re bored, take the opportunity to try new things.

Why I Started a Blog

So I figured that I should let everyone who may or may not be following this blog’s progress know why it was even created!

screaming IN ALL CAPS was born because I’m a bit obsessive.

I love planning things, I love searching Pinterest for inspiration, and I absolutely love putting all my plans in action and watching them play out.

I spent hours planning exactly how I was going to decorate my dorm in a way that had my style, and fit in my budget. All in all, after hours of research and Pinspiration,  I think I only spent about $100 in total with my complete dorm decoration. 

I’m not even engaged and I already have my entire dream wedding planned out for (hypothetically☺) less than $1500 as well. (I’ll make a post about what I want and have planned out, just in case anyone who is a little closer to it than me can have my information and research. We gotta help each other out!)

The real catalyst to my blog adventure was some free fonts I found on Pinterest. I started making cute edited photos and text with cursive and block text and the dream was born.

I chose the name because one of the fonts was called “screaming in color.” I really liked that, but, as you may guess, it was taken. 

Then I started experimenting with upper case v. lower case in these edited photos and it hit me. 

I am constantly typing my text messages in all caps to show my enthusiasm, so I figured that I could bring that here as well. 

That day, 

screaming IN ALL CAPS 

was born.
