Are you trying to come up with some fun ways to exercise? Has your workout routine gotten a little boring + you want to switch it up a bit? In college (or really anywhere) there are so many options of ways not only to work out, but where you can do it. It can kinda […]
At college, people are always getting together, doing things + hanging out. I found myself often times trying to come up with a different ideas of fun things to do with my friends, things that weren’t the usual ‘sit around + chat’– although there’s nothing wrong with that. But having variety is so much better […]
I’m sure we’ve all heard of ‘the freshman fifteen’ + if you’re a freshman, you may be trying your best to avoid that. Or even if you aren’t a freshman, it can be easy to put on more weight at college versus when your at home. With college you go from normal eating to being […]

God has really put it on my heart to address the pandemic situation at hand + this is something I think we are all in need of. I don’t know what the coronavirus looks like in your area. Your area may have moved on already + everything feels pretty normal, or you still may be […]
One of the most frustrating feelings when preparing for college is using one of those giant to bring lists… only to realize once you get there that you are missing some of the things, or that some of the things you need weren’t even mentioned. If I’m being honest, those lists don’t have everything you […]
If I’m being honest, the weeks/ month leading up to move in day can be quite overwhelming, especially for first time students. If you’re at this point then you probably get what I mean. There are so many things to do, so many fine details + many tasks you’ve never had to do before or […]
