Things We Know, But Sometimes Forget
Caroline McBroom Photography

It is extremely easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle of life. I find myself forgetting the simple things. Here is a list of 16 thoughts I needed to remind myself of, and maybe you do, too!!

1. When your boyfriend talks to another girl, it is okay.


Do not let yourself seem crazy over a conversation about Wednesday's accounting homework.

2. Invest in the quality shoes, girlie.

My go-to shoes are Brooks, you can find them linked here.

3. Social media is not real.

4. If you tend to blame others, you need to stop as soon as possible.

“And if you fall on the concrete, that is your a** fault.” Thanks, Kanye.

5. Using only a make up remover wipe is not good enough.

Even after the “worst night ever,” do your full nightly regimen. Be nice to your skin, it will thank you in 20 years. I recently fell in love with Rodan+Fields!!

6. There is no reason to have four pairs of Kendra Scott 'Elle' earrings. Two is enough.

7. Your hair looks fine.

8. Be an ACTIVE listener in every conversation you have.

9. Instagram Direct Messaging is not an appropriate form of communication.

10. You do not have to say yes to everything, but always say yes to girl talk and a mani/pedi.

11. What Susie says about Sally says more of Susie than Sally.

12. ALWAYS have the drive to be better than you were yesterday.

13. You only get so many college weekends, so GO OUT. But either Friday or Saturday, never both.

14. Water. Water. Water. I have linked the only bottle you will ever need here.

15. Stop looking at who viewed your Snapchat story.

If they are on your friends list, they will eventually watch your story. That is how the app works.

16. B E H A P P Y.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

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. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
