Remember when I said I would be posting once a week now that I’ve graduated school? Well, as most things in life, things don’t always go as planned.
I’m not going to sugar-coat it: post-grad life has been incredibly difficult for me. I want to write this piece for all of my fellow recent grads who may feel the same or struggle with similar issues. I want you to know that you’re not alone.
Well hello there! It’s been way, way too long since I last posted anything – I am so sorry for that! For those of you who don’t know, I recently graduated from college and have been transitioning/stumbling into post-grad life for the past month. Life has been too hectic and crazy lately so I haven’t had time to write, but things are finally settling down. The time has come for me to join the rest of the adult world and start my first full-time job. With my new routine in place, I will finally be able to create more content to keep y’all entertained and up-to-date on my life!
With a little less than four weeks of college left, I’ve been reflecting back on my experience at Washington State University and Chapman University. The emotions I feel can only be described as a roller coaster – heartbreakingly nostalgic one moment, bursting with excitement the next.
College life is going to test you harder than anything you’ve ever experienced. Nothing compares to the social, intellectual, and spiritual challenges you will face. Above all, nothing compares to the growth you will see in yourself and your peers. This is your chance to start fresh, to be the person you always dreamed you would be – create a life you take pride in and love fully.
My experience in college has taught me so many lessons about who I am and what I want in life. It’s honestly impossible to write down everything I’ve learned, but I want to share my favorite pieces of advice that I wish I had known when I was a freshman in college. From silly things like texting that hot guy from work to more serious things like leaning who to trust – I’m sharing all my best nuggets of wisdom.
Hi lovely readers! Happy Friday! It’s been so long since I posted anything here, so I want to apologize! I’ve been incredibly busy with midterms and applying to jobs. Senior year is kicking my butt, let me tell ya! With all of the craziness going on, I wanted to take some time to take care of my body and pamper myself a bit with the help of St. Ives and OatMeals!
I’ve been playing around a lot lately with D.I.Y. crafts since I have my very own apartment now. I really wanted something pretty to brighten up my room, so I decided to line my windows with D.I.Y. gold vases of flowers.
However, like most first-time apartment renters, I didn’t have much money to spare, so I had to get creative. Thanks to Value Village, I snagged some cheap vases, bought some gold spray paint and glitter, and got to work!
Alright let’s be real here – it’s late January, almost February. Have you kept up with your resolutions? Personally, I honestly have only stuck to about half of them. I know a lot of people use February 1st as a reset button on their resolutions, so I wanted to share these eight realistic resolutions you can hopefully actually stick with for the rest of the year!
Today is Color the World Orange Day – a day to spread awareness about Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. For those of you (most of you actually) who don’t know, I have lived with widespread CRPS since 2005.
Fall is right around the corner which means pumpkin flavored everything! I’ve partnered up with Born Sweet® Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener to bring you this delicious healthy recipe for a pumpkin spice protein smoothie. I know it sounds weird, but it’s actually so creamy and yummy, you won’t even know it’s healthy for you!
