“The day I found you I found my missing piece.” That quote popped up in my newsfeed, attached to a Facebook ad. A company targeted the ad at people in a relationship, and the product had the quote in question written on it. My desire isn’t to bash that company. Thus, I’m going to stay pretty vague and not reveal what the product is. It’s a sweet thought, but I will not be giving my boyfriend a gift that says… Read more »
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. Early… Read more »
Last week I saw a preview for the upcoming Bachelorette finale in which Hannah (the bachelorette) said “I’ve been waiting my whole life for my happy ending…” referring to her coming engagement. I disagree with Hannah. I don’t think marriage is my happy ending. Her statement got me thinking and I want to talk about this. In this post, I’m explaining why I disagree with this viewpoint, but I don’t want to bash Hannah in any way. I think this… Read more »
The summer before I started college, I remember being super concerned about the prices of textbooks. One of my friends told me about Slugbooks and I started experimenting with that, but I was still leery of shipping prices. Then I discovered Amazon Prime Student. I had ordered things from Amazon before but had never tried Amazon Prime. I knew that it had free 2-day shipping and that sounded kinda nice, but I didn’t know if there would be any other… Read more »
Today during our coffee date we’re chatting about how to have a great first date! Full disclosure upfront- I’ve only ever been on 2 first dates. Thus I have limited experience when it comes to this. So, if you’ve gone on only one first date or have never been on a date yet, this is perfect for you! However, if you have gone on more first dates and you notice I left anything out of this coffee chat, please leave… Read more »
The summer before I started college, I remember being super nervous about living in a dorm. I wondered what it would be like and how I would survive. I wanted to know what I needed to bring. And so I perused Pinterest and read blog after blog trying to understand what this mysterious concept of “dorm life” would really be like. I ended up living in a dorm for one and a half years out of my college career. I… Read more »
I remember the first time I looked at my university’s online bookstore. When I saw the price tags, my head spun. How on earth could textbooks cost so much? I wondered if there was any way possible that I could save money on textbooks. I researched a lot and asked friends for recommendations, and it wasn’t long before I discovered a few ways to save money on textbooks. Hallelujah! I started college in the fall of 2014 and graduated in December… Read more »
Shocked at how expensive college textbooks can be? Let me introduce you to Slugbooks. I remember being overwhelmed when I pulled up my university’s online bookstore. I couldn’t believe that textbooks could cost so much! Thankfully, someone introduced me to Slugbooks the summer before I started college. And today I’m passing this magic information along to you! I don’t even want to think about how much money I would have wasted by buying all of my textbooks through my university’s… Read more »
Have you ever wondered, “Is it okay for girls to ask out guys?” I believe there is a very broad spectrum on this issue. You may be thinking, “Um, DUH! It’s totally okay for girls to ask out guys! It’s 2019! Equality for all!” Or, you might be thinking, “I don’t think it’s okay at all! Guys should be the one to step up and lead the relationship. Girls should just sit and wait for a guy to come to… Read more »
Should you be friends before you date someone? I don’t think there’s a black and white answer to this question. To prove this point, I have several friends who got married last year. A few of them had been friends with their spouse for a while before they started dating. Others didn’t really know their spouse before their first date. I say this to show I recognize that there is more than one way of doing things. A while ago,… Read more »
