Pinterest Pins for College Newbies

College is the place where you found out who you are, new friends, and what you want to do with the rest of your life. There are so many things you need to know going into college, but that can be difficult. It takes years and fine tuning to figure out what you want in your college life, and that is okay! Throughout my years in college I came up with some Pinterest boards to help me organize and refine my college experience. Here is a list of 12 things to help with your new college life!

1. Save Money and still have your room smelling good with homemade frebeze.

Hopefully, you will not have to deal with much odor from your roommate or that laundry you are totally going to do every week. Still, it is great to have something on hand to keep everything smelling fresh in your dorm room. Here is a pin for homemade frebreze! As a college student you will need to be savvy with your money. It typically cost between 12 and 50 cents to make a bottle of frebeze with the listed ingredients. Be sure to test it out before trying it on your favorite comforter though. I had a foamy mess the first time I made it.


2. Websites that can help college students.

These websites will help you organize your study time, presentations, find great professors, and keep you from losing your mind all the same.

3. Dorm room hacks.

Here are several pins to help keep your dorm looking good and organized so you won't have to worry about anything else--except maybe studying and doing homework.

4. Crock Pot tips to save your soul and keep your belly full.

Mac n' cheese in a crock pot is my absolute favorite! These recipes are a good way to keep your hunger in check without having to leave your dorm room.

5. For morning people and the not so morning people.

At some point during your college career, you are going to need to take a class in the morning. Here are some hacks to get through your morning routine.

6. Avoid all nighters.

Someone may have boasted to you about college being about parties and all nighters, but quite truthfully you need sleep and time to get work done. Here is a helpful pin on how to avoid all nighters at all cost.

7. Great ideas for snack time!

To help your college life, you need to eat right and keep up your grades. Snacking helps to brain flow and keeps you focused. Here are some great ways to snack for the hungry college student.

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.

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.
