Nikki Blackketter x Gymshark Season 2 is coming. Are you ready?

Let me start off by explaining who Nikki Blackketter is. She started off posting on YouTube by sharing her fitness journey. Blackketter is formally a fitness model and inspiration. She shares her vlogs on YouTube about fitness and her everyday activities.

She is drop dead gorgeous and #bodygoals, if you ask me.

Blackketter became a Gymshark athlete and her career escalated even more, becoming the face of Gymshark. She currently has 1.7 million Instagram followers and over 600k subscribers and those numbers grow every day.

Now, if you do not know what Gymshark is, visit this link to view their website. Gymshark, a UK based company, offers sleek and innovated designs of gym wear for men and women. The Gymshark mantra is to "Be a Visionary," which is simply how the company was founded by Ben Francis and a few pals. Simply envisioning a company and working towards their goals to achieve an idea that turned into a fast-growing company.

But enough of that talk, let's get to this clothing line because WOW. Nikki B and Gymshark have collaborated on an amazing second line together.

The line is everything from a casual day out shopping, going to class and, of course, working out. Blackketter has given her Season 2 a pop with a blown up pineapple print (her signature sign) on a few pieces. And other colors of the range are simply aesthetic.

The sports bras have a perfectly placed open back and strategically placed cuts to make the "girls up top" pop no matter what cup size you are. Her leggings have proved to be squat-proof, which is always a necessity. Alongside this, they are two-toned with a sleek mesh paneling along the side of the leg, offering a uniqueness to her line. The 'backdrop crop-top' long-sleeves were a complete sell out when she released her first season, and Blackketter has brought them back better and bolder with an open back that lines perfectly with her sports bras and falls in all the right places.

But, it gets better, she has bandeaus, swimsuits and one pieces for daily wear. She even designed them so you could wear them underneath leggings without crazy lines underneath.

What hasn't NikkiB thought of? Well, that's a rhetorical question, because Blackketter and Gymshark have thought of EVERYTHING.

Blackketter even included a hat and...wait for it...a FANNY PACK. Accessories were definitely not forgotten in this season.

There are casual, lightweight, t-shirts and joggers with doubled mesh panels on the sides that just scream "wear me". Along with the 'cropped surface hoodie' that hash mesh panels along the shoulders which offers breathability and a nice casual look.

My personal favorites are the 'essential' hoodies. There is an opening on the back of the hoodie right at the top for some breathability and a separate meshed block of fabric on the bottom of the back. Blackketter also created shorts in three colorways (tan, dusk blue, and light grey). Also available are tank tops with a nice halter top look that is flattering on everyone. And last but not least...BOMBER JACKETS! Everything about these bomber jackets is amazing. Such a versatile piece of clothing that you could wear to the gym, or for a night out.

Nikki Blackketter and Gymshark did a wonderful job with this collection. Clothing that makes women feel feminine, secure, and comfortable at the gym or lounging around the house. And students, a great part about Gymshark is that through Student Beans, they offer a 10% discount! A great deal when you want to be #bougieonabudget. The clothing pieces release online on Gymsharks website on the 26th January 2018. Blackketter also posted a full try on of the pieces in her collection that I will leave linked here for you to watch. Time releases vary based on region, but I have listed most below:

CDT: 9 AM

EST: 10 AM

PST: 7 AM

GMT: 3 PM

So set your alarms, these pieces will be going fast. I know I'll be ready, will you?

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
