I feel like everyone experiences this at least one point in their life. You wait for something, and you're so eager for it that you forget to just be present. I know I'm guilty of this. But I also know that I'm working on it. A pretty popular one that I see is people waiting … Continue reading In the Time of Waiting

The Importance of Bad Days
I don't do this often but I need to start today's post with a rant. But I promise I have a point. In my educational psychology class, we had a group project due at 9 AM Monday morning. However, for this project, we had to do and submit individual work. The group portion was sending … Continue reading The Importance of Bad Days
An Exhaustive List of Self-care Tips
Self-care is everywhere these days. You type in those two words into any search bar and you will get hundreds, thousands, or even millions of results. Frankly, it can get overwhelming if you ask me, and I consistently practice self-care. Before I can give you a compiled list of self-care tips, I have to talk … Continue reading An Exhaustive List of Self-care Tips
Starting an Email Newsletter
When I started this blog two years ago, I started it for myself. I created this as a way to get my thoughts out of my head. I didn't care if I had 1 follower or 100. I wrote for me and only me. In a sense, that is still true today. But, at the … Continue reading Starting an Email Newsletter

I find I can't stay focused enough to stay with it and then I have these half-used notebooks … Continue reading A Master Guide to Bullet Journaling

I'm honestly a little surprised I haven't done any posts about this topic yet. It's super important … Continue reading The Importance of Words
The Power of Friendship
I wrote a post last July about Friendships (read it here), but this has been on my mind recently. I hope this is not too much of a re-hashing of what I said six months ago, but we'll see. My friends are incredibly important to me. They support me and comfort me. Talking, laughing, crying, and … Continue reading The Power of Friendship
Phoenix Rising
I have to be honest here: most of 2018 was not super great for me. It felt like things just kept knocking me down, and getting back up only meant getting knocked down again. But the upside to all of this? I feel like 2018 also taught me a lot about my life and myself. … Continue reading Phoenix Rising
Introducing Me
The first post of the year is always somewhat difficult. There are so many directions you can take, but I feel the first post of the year sets the tone for how your posts are gonna go. In 2017, I wrote a post about goals for the year rather than "resolutions" because I feel like … Continue reading Introducing Me
