The Princess Pandora Ring: Overpriced and Overrated

As of recent, I’ve been seeing a disgusting amount of lot of posts on various social media platforms regarding the Princess Pandora ring. While the ring itself isn’t my style, it’s more of the idea around the product that nauseates me.

Girls will post tweets/statuses/photos of this piece of jewelry like we’re talking about a fucking Cartier love bracelet or something. Can we all just pause for a moment and reflect on the fact that this ring is CUBIC ZIRCONIA? People are dishing out literally over $100 in some cases for a ring that has relatively NO VALUE in the jewelry market, simply because of the idealistic social media reputation surrounding it.

I have absolutely no issue with lower priced jewelry, in fact, I incorporate a ton of costume jewelry in my own wardrobe; however, when I see a scam like this becoming so widespread, I feel like it’s my duty as a fashion school graduate to let the general public know they’re being gipped.

SO, as the holiday season approaches and you find yourself becoming more and more exposed to the Pandora epidemic, educate yourself and your loved ones, and opt for a more unique piece to add to your collection. I promise your boyfriend still loves you, Pandora ring or not.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
