I’ve recently (and not-so-recently) discovered some great productivity apps that have really benefitted me.

I actually originally coined this term while finding hidden “stars” for fantasy gymnastics, but have found […]

Wow, I can’t believe I’m through two quarters as a college student already! Spring break has passed, not even one full quarter left, and then summer. Since I’ve been at college for awhile now, I thought it would be a cool idea to do one “lesson” type thing that I’ve learned for each week. Since quarters are 10 weeks, that amounts to the nice, round number of 20. So, without further ado, here they are! 1. Relationships Take Time 2. […]

Alright guys, it’s that time of year. Midterms have rolled around or will be approaching soon, depending on if you’re on semesters or quarters. You may be hitting that wall where you are just done with school, or whatever you’re going through, but it’s essential to remain on your productivity game. Don’t procrastinate and actually get sleep. I know, novel idea! But if you’re on top of things you’ll actually be able to sleep at a normal hour, leaving you […]

Often times, going into college, you’ve had your own bedroom your whole life, unless you’re one of those special people who shared a bedroom with your siblings. Going from having your own room to sharing one with someone else can be a transition, so I’m going to share the tips that I have with you! Invest in Quality Earplugs and/or a Sleep Mask Chances […]

I’ve been in college for almost 2 months now. It’s crazy! Sorry for kind of neglecting the blog, but I’ve been itching to write college posts! The first of which is now. Some things you bring to college are no brainers. Others take thought. Some are just random and are afterthoughts.

Ok, it’s definitely been a hot minute since I posted last. This summer has been an absolute whirlwind between trips back to Michigan to visit family and my aunt with cancer and other trips and getting ready for college! I spent some time redesigning my blog and I’m finally back with a new post! Today it’s all about high school blogging. I started this blog in the summer of 2016, right before my senior year, and I definitely wish I […]

This past weekend I attended one of the many Steubenville conferences put on throughout the nation over the summer. It’s a Catholic youth conference that takes place over the weekend at various locations, in my case it was at a hotel out by the airport, and it’s put on by Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio (hence the name Steubenville). While it was a busy weekend, it was definitely nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of life for […]

The next time, we saw the same vendor, but this time, you could get […]
