  • How to Prepare for a Trip Abroad

    Currently, I am preparing for my two week long trip to Portugal and Spain that I’ll be going on in January. It’s a little nerve-wracking, because I’ve only been out of the country once, to Turks and Caicos, which wasn’t really that different from the U.S. Also, if you want to know more about going…

  • Looking Back on This Semester

    I just finished my fall semester of my junior year, and it was actually the best semester of my college career so far. I didn’t take as many classes as I usually do, and even though it was a stressful past couple of months, I also had a great time. The most significant part of…

  • In Pursuit: Staying Organized

    Life is a mess, so it’s important to try and have some sense of order. As someone with a Type A personality, being organized is super important. I write everything in my planner.

  • Weekend Wear

    This past weekend was definitely a great one – my family came to visit. I’ve only been at school for about a month, but I already miss them like crazy. Family is really important to me. I can’t imagine feeling like I can’t tell my parents anything, or not getting along with my sister most…

  • Rocksbox Review

    Before a week ago, I had been wondering about Rocksbox for a few weeks – it’s a jewelry rental service that lets you try out jewelry for $21 a month. So I finally decided to try it out. I would get my first box free, so I figured why not. It’s pretty fun – you…

  • Advice for Couples in a Long Term Relationship

    I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost four years – we started dating our junior year of high school. Every relationship is a learning process. But long term relationships, especially during the really formative years of your life, can be difficult to maintain if you’re not putting the effort in. My boyfriend, Tanner, and I…
