Hello everyone! I have been following the theme of college life over the past few blog posts I have written, and I decided to continue with that trend for this week. With school in general, students find themselves having to study, whether that is for tests/quizzes/quests/exams, or for doing homework. Everyone has a different way of studying that works best for them, but I wanted to share some general study tips that help me, as well as other tips I have learned from my peers that could interest some of you guys as well. 1. Study in a place where you know you will get work done - Whether this is a noisy or silent place, find an area where you know you will focus the best, and be the most productive in getting your work done. Many students find it is easier for them to study in a library where there are other students studying as well, others enjoy studying in their room or by themselves, and others focus better in areas where there is background noise, such as a cafe.

Hello! I felt the urge to write a post about my daily morning routine, and therefore the post is dedicated to that! It may seem quite simple compared to YouTube videos or blog posts by beauty bloggers and youtubers, but because I am in college, I have less time to get ready in the morning. And, I prefer having a simple, clean look instead of a dressed up one, because it is quick to do and still makes me look fresh and ready for the day! After my alarm goes off, I get out of bed, grab my contacts, get my toiletries bag (face wash, moisturizer, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, etc.) as well as my face towel, and walk to the bathroom.

Makeup wise, I go for a simple outlook every day. I do not use primer; I use my moisturizer as a "primer" since it actually holds my makeup on pretty well for the entire day. After my mo...

I am two-thirds of the way through my freshman year of college, and the year has been full of ups and downs, laughter and stress. However, through this year of college, I have picked up on a variety of tips that, had I known before starting college, I would have been less stressed and worrisome. So, I wanted to share these tips with all of you, so you can be conscious of them and apply them to your college years, high school, or even in the future with a job. 1. Purchase a planner - Having a planner in high school saved my life, and I had to have one in college too. Having a planner allows me to write down exams dates, the homework I have for each of my classes, and plans I have with friends. Planners allow you to write down everything you need to remember, and you can bring them with you to class or slip them into your purse/bag, and bring them everywhere with you! 2. Have an organized desk or study area - My parents told me that having an organized study area is crucial, and it...
