Starting college is scary. In fact, starting ANYTHING new can be scary, but I think starting college is exceptionally scary because it’s a new chapter in your life. You’re now an adult, and you’re finally leaving the nest. Scary. And once you arrive at college, there’ll be TONS and TONS of new things to experience. Scary… but also exciting. During my final semester of high school, I began to search Pinterest and YouTube for various tips for college freshman. I learned ways… Read more »
Confession: I’ve been meaning to do a dorm tour all semester… but either I would forget, or be too busy, or my room would be messy… And considering that school ends in a week, TODAY IS THE DAY FOR THE TOUR!! Here we go: So here’s my bed. This comforter apparently was a very popular find at Bed, Bath, & Beyond, as I have seen several other girls with this same bed set. But hey, it’s cute, so oh wells….

And, it’s time for final exams again… …I really don’t want to think about finals. I’d rather pretend that this glorious thing called summer can come without the dreary rain cloud of exams. But, finals are coming, and they’re coming rapidly. You know, if we were knights, and finals were a dragon, and we heard that said fiery dragon was going to attack us within the upcoming month, we wouldn’t just sit there. No. We would prepare. We would sharpen… Read more »
Ah, the ever debated question: Do I want to attend a local university… or do I want to see the world? At least, it’s a debated question among high school students in my town, because there’s an amazing university right here on our doorstep that often looks overlooked. Not a junior college, but an actual university… that happens to be in our town. And I ended up at said university. Thus, today I’m discussing the pros and cons of attending… Read more »
The necessity for stress relief is enormous. Just take it from me; this past Tuesday I was literally curled up on my bed about to cry from stress. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think clearly. All I knew is that I had so many things to get done, and so little time to do them in. I was stress paralyzed. I have discovered that being stress paralyzed isn’t constructive when it comes to finding time to blog (Thus I didn’t… Read more »
I attend the best Christian university ever! (And, no, I’m not biased.) (Well, maybe a little bit.) The University of Not Hogwarts (as I like to call my university here on my blog) is absolutely amazing and I love it so much! I feel so at home here, even though I’ve only been attending college for a little over one semester. I know this is the place I’m supposed to be at. I know God has a plan and a purpose… Read more »
As I have mentioned before, I’ve survived my first semester of college!! In addition, I’ve learned many lessons along the way- lessons about me, lessons about college and lessons about life in general. I also learned many lessons in my classes, but we don’t need to talk about those :)The following list contains twenty things I learned during my first semester… 1. Roommates aren’t the big bad wolf I’ve heard so many horror stories about freshmen who go potluck and… Read more »
…And it’s Christmas Time now! *Whew* Finals were intense. The tests themselves weren’t that bad; I just hated how the only thing to do all week was just studying. That’s it.And all my friends were studying too, so I didn’t want to interrupt their studying to hang out with them. There was nothing else to do. I couldn’t even go to class to pass the time! (And if I was wishing to go to class, you can bet I was bored!)… Read more »
