When I came to college, I was bombarded with the importance of being organized. I was pretty organized in high school so I didn't pay much attention to these lectures. After my first week of classes, I was completely swamped and stressed. So I invested in a planner. Planning my day and writing down important dates and times really helped me out. I've tried out many different planners, but nothing has worked as well as my Lilly Pulitzer planner. Here are a few ways that my Lilly planner has saved my life.

1) It's something I can never forget.

It's pretty hard to leave behind something that is neon pink and screaming at me from my desk.

2) It's my stress reliever.

I relieve stress by making lists and the eight lines per date helps me do that.

3) It's a conversation starter.

It might sound silly, but do you know how many people love these planners? Tons.

4) It's affordable.


Yes it might be on the pricey side, but with everything it comes with, a good planner goes a long way.

5) It's resilient.


It keeps up with my busy life, it doesn't fall apart even when I am.

6) It let's me focus on what's next.

I physically list my activities, but it's page layout is like a coach cheering you to go onto your next task.

7) It keeps track of important dates.

Do you know when Daylight Savings Time is? Yeah, me either. I see what you did there planner.

8) It keeps me on time.

I write the times, but seeing them on paper is a great reminder not to schedule my nail appointment during my class... again.

9) It let's me see when I have free time.

Again I write the times but it is nice to see that I have a ten minute break at noon.

10) There are all different types of Lilly planners.

Big? Small Yearly? It's whatever you prefer!

11) It isn't like any other planner.

I've tried many different planners. None of them work as well as the Lilly planner. The prints are great, the pages are sturdy, and it is unique to any other planner on the market.

This planner has saved my life and is a reminder to keep me calm. I was apprehensive about it at first, but it has been one of the best investments I've made in college. I love you Lilly planner!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
