My inner Joanna Gaines comes out whenever I enter a Hobby Lobby or Target (or any other place with decorative signs).

I'll just be honest with you. After all, I'd like to think, because you are reading this article, that we're friends. Or at least the decor-obsessed equivalent. Anyways, I have a bit of a problem. Any time I enter a Hobby Lobby, Target, or any Home Goods store for that matter, I want to buy everything in sight. Even though I definitely don't have room for any of it. I would like to believe that plenty of people suffer from this predicament. But I have a select group of decorative signs that I still fall in love with when I admire them now, no matter how old they are. Here are my top 10 signs I've ever purchased:

1. Hobby Lobby is the bomb dot com when it comes to quotable signs!

2. Bookish signs are my jam.


2nd and Charles is now my FAVORITE place to buy bookish signs after finding this gem one day while book shopping.

3. The sign whose seller is unidentifiable.

Even though I honestly can't remember where I found this sign (this shows you I have a serious buying problem), I still adore it. I'm studying English at university right now, so it fits perfectly in my room at school.

4. Altar'd State is def my go-to for biblical decor.

Even though most shoppers know Altar'd State for its pricey apparel and other merchandise, it's my favorite store of all time. I have so many articles of clothing that I've purchased over the years from there, a new Bible that I adore, and a total of four decorative signs that always find their place in any room, at school or at home.

5. Coffee-themed signs are my spirit animal.

Someone get me a large coffee, please!

6. Newfound loves while in the Sunshine State.

I found Sugarboo & Co. while on vacation in Florida last month. I'd never heard of it, but it's apparently been a thing since 2005. Their motto is, "Dealer in Whimsy," which I absolutely love. They carry a TON of household items that are given an extra sprinkle of decorative love as well as writing tools such as notebooks, pens, paperweights, and more!

If you want to give them a search, their web URL is: https://www.sugarbooandco.com

7. DIY is a great thing if you're looking for something cheaper.

I did this sign a few years back and I still adore the quote. All I did was purchase a white canvas, black paint, and foam scrapbooking letters. Then I placed the scrapbooking letters where I wanted them on the canvas, painted over the entire thing, and after it dried I removed the letters. I found the idea on Pinterest and it worked like a charm!

8. Alphabet photography.

Okay, I don't know what this is officially called, but I really like the concept. And I love that you can create whatever you want with pictures you love. I created this sign in South Carolina when I was on vacation one year. It took the main precedence in my freshman dorm room, hanging over my bed alongside a photo collage board.

9. Signs that aren't even mine.

This isn't technically my sign, but I did buy it so whatever. I bought it as a Christmas present for my mom because it reminds me of her dad (and my papa), who passed away in 2016.

10. Those I haven't technically purchased...

But I will someday!

And those are 10 signs my inner Joanna Gaines absolutely loves!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
