Ah, college life. School, studying, and more school. While balancing sleep and actually having a social life. That’s college in a nutshell. Learning is really the reason we’re all in college, as much as the work can be tedious at times. I went into college knowing the basics of how to study well and that’s something that I am so grateful for looking back at my high school experience. It may have seemed like a lot of work at the time, […]

It’s hard to believe that classes start in a few days! I just started moving into my new dorm and I’ll be back to the grind on Monday. While I actually am excited to go back to school for once, I’m not ready to let summer go. But with a new quarter comes new goals. And I wanted to take them to the blog. Not only to hold myself accountable by having a list published in writing and on the […]

The school year is quickly approaching, and you know what that means? Time to get back in the grind of classes, schoolwork, and all that is that college life. Planners and bullet journals have long been pitted against each other as organizational and planning tools. If you’re anything like me, you’re indecisive as to if a planner or bullet journal is better and it’s hard to choose what system to use. That’s where I’m here to help! Hopefully this helps […]

Today I’m coming at you with my freshman year dorm tour! I’ve had these pictures for months but never actually got a post together featuring my dorm room. I’ve always loved dorm tours and lived for the day that I was in a dorm and could do one. I searched and searched for dorm tours and layouts of the building I was going to live in and found basically zero of people who were at my school. I wanted to share […]

I’ve recently (and not-so-recently) discovered some great productivity apps that have really benefitted me. From Chrome extensions to actual apps, all of these have increased my productivity and simplified my life. They are not obvious, but what I like to call hidden gems. Hidden gems refer to things that you don’t see at first, but realize their true amazingness after you have discovered them. I actually originally coined this term while finding hidden “stars” for fantasy gymnastics, but have found […]

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 […]

I finished my first quarter of college! I went to Michigan to visit family over break and I got to watch my twin cousins play basketball and just see everyone! I’ve been working with the College Gym News team working to provide coverage of […]

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. I’ve got some of those random things and afterthoughts compiled up for you, so go ahead and read on! Command Hooks Ok, you’ve probably heard of the wondrous command […]

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 […]
