College Hacks: Surviving Freshman Year

Image
Hello all! Welcome back to my blog and I hope you've been enjoying a very long, relaxing summer break... I know I have. Anyway, the time has come; we are almost there! College is back in session and I've been kicking into high gear lately. My summer has been nothing but memorable and honestly, I'm very excited to start my second year of college. As for you, if you are going to start your very FIRST year of higher education... please listen closely! My first year really changed who I am as person and hopefully it will change your life too. To make the transition from high school to COLLEGE a little easier, here are some hacks that will help you succeed in your first year of college: 1. SAVE, SAVE, & SAVE! This is the time where money is very important, so don't waste it. Important tip: Apply for as many scholarships as possible.

ONE REPUBLIC, Summer 2017, & Relationship Thoughts

Image
Y'all! I'm back... Sorry for the long break that I took between my last blog, but I've been extremely busy as you could probably tell by the title. But, my summer started back for me in May and obviously I'm just posting now about my summer so far, but we just got to the really good stuff now! Wow, so July has been a month for me, y'all! I went to 3 concerts in the span of two weeks (FYI, One Republic was the BEST concert EVER), worked endlessly, and I am still in my two summer classes for college. It's all been a little overwhelming, but I would have never been able to get through it without... coffee. :)  Yes, my friends and I made it on the jumbo tron and we felt that it was an accomplishment, so obviously I'm going to mention it. <3 But, one of the reasons why my summer has been one of the best thus far is not only because of the excess money I'm spending on concert tickets and what not, but it's because the people in that p...

19 Things I Learned at 19

In the span of 19 years, I have come to the conclusion that there are some things that people must simply learn to understand. I know I had to. From learning how to "adult" to embracing my full potential, I can confidently say that I am making the most out of my life right now! Here are just some lessons that I learned along the way. 1. Growing Up Is Scary. Turning 18 did not make me an adult, but once I entered college and gained more and more responsibilities, I've come to the conclusion that my teenage years were OVER. Facing the reality of growing up and maturing is extremely scary, but with a good support system, you can definitely get through it SUCCESSFULLY! 2. Save Your Money! The first thing I learned about this roller-coaster of a life is that money definitely does not grow on trees. I love the finer things in life, but ballin' on a budget sometimes hinders that. No worries, though! There are so many different ways you can save money while going to ...

Welcome to my Blog!

Hello all! Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stumbling across the hundreds of posts about this that I shared with you all! Maybe you'll read this and enjoy it and ask helplessly for more (and I'll love you for it) or you'll completely ignore this and it'll have no impact on you whatsoever. Great... Whatever the case may be, I hope enjoy this blog! First things first, you'll probably want to know a little about me before I ramble on for paragraphs wasting all your precious, valuable time. I am 19 and I am in college. Yes, I am young, but I just completed my first year of college and it made SUCH a big impact on me that I decided to write a little about it. But, we're going to get to that a little later... all you need to know now is that I am so unbelievably excited to share my story and get to know you all! This is truly something that I've been delaying for months and I've had a lot of good friends tell me I should finally start, so by a leap of faith a...
