Ways to Declutter your space
Start writing a post

If you are anything like me, you have some left over clutter from last semester. With Fall just around the corner, these last few weeks of summer are the perfect time to get organized and declutter for the new semester.

Donate or Resell Used Textbooks

Chances are you will not be reusing last semester's statistics book for any casual reading. Open up some more space on your shelf by either donating your old textbooks or selling them to a friend!

Organize Your Closet

Summer is the best time to go through your closet! Sort items in piles of things you wear and things you never wear. If you never wear an item put it in a donation bag. Once you have organized your clothes fold them neatly or hang them up organizing by color or clothing type. Once summer ends, it might be a good idea to store your summer clothes in a storage container until next season- this will free up more space for your fall and winter clothes.

Get Rid of Old Shoes

Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend, may have been wrong...shoes might be a top contender.

Go Through Toiletries

It is best to check toiletries by the scent as well as the expiration date on the product. Items such as makeup usually go bad after being open for twelve months.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
