Staff Favorites: The Tola Edition

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Princeton chapter.

Here are a few of my favorite things!
 

On top of my dresser:

Victoria Secret’s Vanilla Lace body mist is the perfect scent. Not too strong or too light, it smells absolutely delicious. I have evidence that guys find it intoxicating. It’s like axe for women or something! It is also Victoria Secret’s single best-selling item, so get it quick!  
 


In my bookshelf:

Things Fall Apart is one of Africa’s most well-known and beloved novels. Written by Nigerian author Chinua Achebe (in English), the novel follows the life of Okonkwo, a leader and local wrestling legend. The novel focuses on his family of three wives and their children as well as the emerging British colonial influence. 
 


In my closet:

These are seriously the perfect shorts. I’ve been searching for these shorts my entire life, and I finally found them. They aren’t too short (booty shorts) or too long (Bermuda shorts). If you’re trying not to show too much leg like me, they are definitely worth a look. They are perfect for summer and are at the perfect price.

 

On my Ipod:

I’ve found my summer anthem. Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO instantaneously puts me in a better mood every time I listen to it. The music video is also tons of fun with bright colors and energetic dancing. Listen to it while studying for finals, and you might just start to enjoy Organic Chemistry.
 

In my tummy:  Thomas Sweet! T-sweet is by far my favorite treat on Nassau. I always get the same order, Sweet cream ice cream with Oreos and almonds blended in. My mouth is watering just typing it. Way cheaper than bent-spoon, Thomas Sweet has a huge variety of flavors and blendable combinations. As it starts to warm up, make t-sweets your study break destination with a friend and don’t forget about the Princeton student discount!
