Create The Cutest Home Screen In Just 5 Steps

Apple recently released IOS14 and since then the internet has been flooded with pictures of everyone's home screens. For a lot of people, it has been really overwhelming trying to figure out this new update and how to get those photo-worthy home screens. After watching several Tik Toks and working on my own, I have come up with several simple steps to share with you all to help you get the cutest home screen.

1. Decide on a theme

The first step to creating an aesthetically pleasing home screen is to decide on a theme. There are a ton of different options you can do so pick anyone that you enjoy. Some examples I have seen are colors, travel, Disney or even favorite tv shows/movies. For my home screen, I went with a neutral color theme. You totally don't need a theme if you don't want one but overall it helps make it more uniform.

2. Pick out any photos you want to use

Now that you've decided on a theme, you need to select the items that match this theme. So take some time to scroll Pinterest and find everything you want to use. For me, this included finding a wallpaper, a few quotes and pictures I wanted to use.

3. Download the apps you want to use

Now that you have everything picked out and ready to go, you just need to download the apps you need. There are a ton of different widget apps you can download and use in the app store. For ease, I only used Widgetsmith and Todoist. Another popular widget app is Colorwidget. Honestly, it doesn't matter which one you use so pick whichever app you prefer.

4. Start creating your widgets

After all your prepping, it is finally time to start designing your home screen. The process of adding a widget is relatively simple after you've completed those steps. You start by opening up the app you've downloaded for widgets. Once you've done that click on the one you like and start adjusting it through the app. When I used Widgetsmith, I was able to change, colors, fonts, and size. If you want your widget to be a photo from your library, all you have to do is create an album in your photos with the selected photo and then select "photos in album" in the Widgetsmith app. For a little fun, you can add more than one photo in the album to have it randomly change throughout the day.

5. Add the widgets to your home screen 

You're almost done now. It's just time to add your newly created widgets to your home screen. To do this, just hold down on your screen then select the plus sign in the top left corner. Once you've done that, just scroll down until you see the widget app you used. Go ahead and click on it. After you've done that you need to select the size that you had designed in the app. It'll add one of these widgets to the home screen. If you have more than one in that size, you'll have to click on it to select the one you wanted. Widgets can also be created using other apps on your phone. So if you want to add one for your music or news, you can do that the same way. I loved using Todoist to create a to-do list widget.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
