Courtney E Carter Media: An Errand Filled Weekend

And just like that it’s almost time to say goodbye to another weekend. After I got off work at 5:30pm, I spent my entire Friday evening relaxing because I knew Saturday and Sunday would be full! During the week, I had created a mammoth to-do list of everything that needed to be accomplished this weekend. Let me tell you, I got anxiety just looking at it! An evening in bed (with healthy snacks and Netflix as my companion!) was just what I needed to prepare for the busy weekend ahead.

I’m going back to college in about two weeks, so most of my errands centered around preparing for that. I don’t start classes until August 25th, but I have to drive up to Tallahassee early for (1) a week to prepare for sorority recruitment and then (2) a week of sorority recruitment itself. My apartment lease doesn’t start until the 22nd, so I’ll be living in the sorority house for about two weeks! I know recruitment is going to be stressful, but I am very excited for the experience and the time I’ll share with my sisters.

I began Saturday with selling clothes and accessories I don’t wear much anymore at Platos Closet. I hadn’t been in Platos Closet in a while and was absolutely amazed with everything! I always forget that they have such great quality used items for less. I was looking around the store as they were going through my clothing and stumbled upon a gorgeous pair of black Tory Burch wedges. They were being sold for $30. Yes, I repeat, $30. It was so hard to peal myself away from those beauties, but I had to tell myself that I didn’t need them.

After selling my clothes, I began shopping for recruitment and items for my new apartment at Target. You have no idea how excited I am to be living in an apartment this coming school year! Shopping for it made it really hit me that it’s almost time to move in! It’s a HUGE help that it’s fully furnished, so I don’t have to worry about buying any furniture. That being said, it is a 4 Bedroom and 4 Bathroom apartment, so I’ll be setting up for my own room and bathroom. Going from living in a dorm to this is paradise!

Shopping at Tar-jay

After a full day of shopping, I was exhausted. My parents really enjoy helping out at church, so we went to a 4pm Saturday mass, but when I came home, it was back to work! I had several emails centered around my YouTube and blog that needed to be answered, and my creative ideas needed to be planned out.

After a few hours of work, I treated myself to take-out from Panera (their Macaroni and Cheese is to die for!) and a night of Netflix. I did do some work while it was playing, but I also did try to relax some. I ended up finishing Gossip Girl for the 3rd time. Yes, you read that correctly. I have officially watched the entire series of Gossip Girl 3 times. (No shame!)

Panera & Netflix

After such a full day, you can only imagine how well I slept.

Sunday was not as busy as Saturday, but I still had half of a list that needed to be crossed out. I spent Saturday working on crafts I needed to do for my apartment and sorority, responding to emails, planning out YouTube videos, sending out resumes, and getting everything ready for the upcoming week.
