If you are an incoming college freshman, here’s a word of advice- Just because you were at class at 8 every day in high school does NOT mean it will be “no big deal” to have an 8:00 class in college. Being at high school at 8:00 is not the same as getting up for college classes at 8:00. However, at some point in your college career, you will most likely face the terrible monster of an 8:00 class.

I discovered essential oils right around the time I graduated from college. But, man, do I wish I had some before then. Since receiving my Young Living Premium Starter Kit last year, I have discovered a ton of ways I could have used essential oils during my college career. Today I’m sharing 5 of those essential oils with you! 1. Lavender Lavender is amazing at supporting sleep! I wish I had had this oil when I was in college because… Read more »
It’s my first official day of college. I sit at my desk in my dorm room working on a Spanish assignment. Distractedly, I fiddle with my pencil. The college group at the First Baptist Church had passed out fliers for a back-to-school part, and they were going to watch The Lion King and eat ice cream. I really want to go. I love The Lion King. Besides, it’s my first day of college. I should go do something fun. I… Read more »
Someone wise once said, “Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.” Well, I can certainly attest to the first part of that. How is it that it was three years ago that I started University? That’s insane to me! Where has the time gone?? Was it really three whole years ago that I loaded all the boxes up on my dad’s truck and drove 20 minutes to my University to move into a dorm? Three years ago… Read more »
{Actually, it was never written, but that didn’t go with the alliteration. Please pardon me. ;) } . . . So I originally typed all of this to go in my “Three Years Later” post that will be published Thursday (a reflection upon this school year). But my Pageant reflections ended up way too long so figured I should just dedicate an entire post to my Pageant experience. Thus this post. So here we go… Sometime during the… Read more »
Two years ago I embarked on my journey through college. It seems odd for me to think about how I’m halfway done, and my university days are nearly over. That means I’m growing up… and I don’t feel old enough to be a grown up yet. Thinking back to move-in day, I remember how scared and nervous I felt as a freshman. I was terrified, and my university was only a 20 minute drive from home. I was scared that… Read more »
So, one night while in Costa Rica I was feeling exceptionally homesick and so I decided to grab my journal and a pen and let my emotions explode on the paper. The following is what happened: I miss my ukulele. I miss blogging and the stress that comes with it. I miss MBC {my Church}. And Traci and Kacie and the kids there. I miss doing laundry whenever I want. I miss hot sunny days. I miss hot showers. I… Read more »
Like many students, in my mind the new year starts in August, not January. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! **Throws confetti** My sophomore year is about to begin. Next Thursday I move back on campus- I can’t wait!! I’m so excited to see how my roommate and I decorate our apartment. I’m excited to see all my friends again. I’m excited to be on campus again! I love my university! In the light of this new year, I thought I… Read more »
Hey everybody!! I just wanted to announce that I will be away from Internet until the first week of August…. …Because I’m going to be studying abroad in July!!! *Squeals!* I’m going to a Latin American country with a group from my college. I will be taking two Spanish courses in the mornings, and in the afternoons we’re going to go on field trips around the country. We’re also staying with host families. As a Spanish major, I’m really excited… Read more »
