Save Me, Pinterest

Pinterest is saving me creatively and mentally.

Save Me, Pinterest

Pinterest (noun): a platform that allows you to save photos and access a link or a source to the photo for reference. Used by photographers, artists, DIY moms and edgy fashion teens.

Pinterest was something I only recently started and honestly, thank goodness that I did. I am an extremely visual person and I always had an interest in creating inspiration boards and mood boards, but just never took the time to look for a platform of that sort, or had the resources to do that physically. I knew only a few people who actually used it, so I didn't feel the need to sign up until recently with the slump of my own website/blog, and my desire to improve my photography skills and editing skills.

I never fully understood how Pinterest worked as an online platform until I finally made an account. I quickly learned and became super infatuated with the way that the general system worked. The way that all the photos would save easily into extremely aesthetically pleasing mood boards. The way that you can search a specific genre of photos that you were looking for. The way that you can click the link to the beautiful photos and browse more pretty content.

I know the platform's been here awhile.

Am I late to the party? Yes, I probably am, but it's better late than never.

There's a lot of things that I've learned from being on this site. I've only spent three months scrolling and saving photos on this thing, but I've been able to experience countless memories of inspiration. The amount of concepts, photography, and art that I've encountered has blown me away. All thanks to Pinterest, I'm hopeful for how much creative energy and fuel I have stored for the coming school year.

I'm looking forward to when I have to say to myself, “Help Me Pinterest," cause then I know I will be able to pull something from it.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
