August 13 is International Left-Hander's Day! I am so proud to be left-handed, along with only about 10% of the world's population. But because there are so few of us in a right-handed world, there are some struggles that we face. You righties do not understand how lucky you are. So I want to highlight … Continue reading 20 Left-Handed Struggles

30 Ways to Make Summer Memories
It still blows my mind that most schools have started the new school year already! Colleges are starting soon as well, and that means I'll be starting my senior year! Summer is one of my favorite times of year, especially as a college student. I get to do things, see people I care about, and … Continue reading 30 Ways to Make Summer Memories
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
Why you Should Never Put Inflatables on Water

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)
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
Summer Plans
I am so glad to be home for the summer! I enjoy school, and I love what I'm learning. But sometimes, honestly, I just need a little bit of a break. That being said, you should (hopefully) know me well enough that you know I'm never really relaxing all that much. I feel like I'm … Continue reading Summer Plans
Notice the Little Things
You've probably heard the saying, "Don't sweat the small stuff." Yes, that statement is definitely true, but what about noticing the little things? Do you ever do that? On Sunday night, when I went to go to sleep, I was cold and shivering. So much so thatI grabbed my second blanket. I woke up Monday … Continue reading Notice the Little Things
