School is starting soon for a lot of places. Many high schools have started or are starting this week, and colleges are not far behind. I'm entering my senior year of college, so hopefully by now I have figured some things out. What I want to do today is unpack my backpack, similar to showing … Continue reading My College Backpack

Unplanned
I've talked about this post in similar capacities before, but this is currently on my mind, so I am going to talk about it again. I am a planner. I like to have things planned out of where I'm going and what I'm doing. But the truth is, things don't always work out the way … Continue reading Unplanned
The Unexpected Brings the Greatest Stories
I realized that I had made a few posts about my cruise, but I haven't yet told my favorite story. One of our ports was in Jamaica. We went bobsledding and climbed a waterfall! But I am getting ahead of myself. My parents have been on a number of cruises. My sister and I had … Continue reading The Unexpected Brings the Greatest Stories
Getting Back into the Swing of Things
June was such a cray month for me. In a three-week period, I slept in my own bed only 4 times! I was off and gone out of state or out of country for most of the month. Because June was so travel-heavy, I didn't really feel like I had time or opportunity to do … Continue reading Getting Back into the Swing of Things
DIY Keychain Display Tutorial
One thing that you may not know about me is that I collect keychains. Pretty much everywhere I go that is something new, I usually have to get a keychain for. When I was visiting colleges, I collected a keychain from every college I officially visited and some others that were "unofficial" visits. When I … Continue reading DIY Keychain Display Tutorial
History of the Selfie
One of my favorite things to write about is obscure holidays and sharing the history of them. I enjoy doing the research, and compiling it into a story form for you. Friday, June 21st, is National Selfie Day. I love obscure history, so I figured why not tell all of you things that I learned … Continue reading History of the Selfie
Why you Should Never Put Inflatables on Water
I mentioned last week that I had a bunch of stories I wanted to tell from my cruise, and I think this is a great one to tell first! On our cruise, we had three ports that we stopped at (or ports of call, as they're referred to). Our last stop was Cozumel, Mexico. We … Continue reading Why you Should Never Put Inflatables on Water
Packing for a Cruise (Or any Vacation)
Being on vacation was so great! I enjoyed being away and relaxing. I'll probably take some time to tell you stories later (like how I climbed a waterfall or why you should never put inflatable climbing things and trampolines on the ocean or even what it is like to be the only thing making light … Continue reading Packing for a Cruise (Or any Vacation)
Mental Health
For those of you that do not know, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. I hope you know that mental health is just as important as physical health. People tend to prioritize one over the other, but both are part of your well-being. Your physical health doesn't matter if your mental health is in shambles, … Continue reading Mental Health
Instant Results
I don't know about you, but I am not a patient person. I like things to be done pretty much instantly. But lately, I have been working on trying to be more patient and wait. I was working out with a friend on Friday, and she made a comment that stuck with me. She basically … Continue reading Instant Results
