Time Management. A truly terrifying word to someone who procrastinates every single thing in life, but still stalks up on day planners like it is nobody's business. I had a good amount of free time on top of my business in college, but now that I am traveling to 11 countries in 11 months, everyday looks crazy different. How do I handle everything, you may ask? Tears, dark chocolate, and different apps that I truly cannot live without. Here you go and you're welcome…

1. Asana

A website and phone app that deserves its own crown. Seriously. Asana knows me better than I know myself. I have worked with many businesses who use this for big projects because you can communicate with other "team members," assign tasks with due dates, have multiple projects open that are neatly organized, and they have a FREE VERSION. I put all my tasks in here depending on the company or project it is for.



2. Planoly

Planoly is my social media lifesaver. I can put content in there and see how my feed would look, I can try out Instagram stories, I can connect a shop to it so people can purchase through Instagram, I can create and save hashtag bundles, so I do not have to retype everything per each new caption, and my favorite part is that it automatically posts and schedules on your behalf on Instagram and Facebook. If you do not feel comfortable with that last part, it can also send you a notification letting you know it's time. It also tracks analytics when you don't have the time to do actual research.



3. Google Calendar

I am for sure a "written" planner kind of chick, but I am OBSESSING over Google Calendar. I know I am probably late to the game but it's been so nice having all my electronics on the same page. It connects and shares information on each device so you'll always know what is going on. I also have mine connected to my calendar on my Mac-book along with my deadlines. I have many calendars for many different things even though I am unemployed and not in school. What am I even doing actually?



4. Screen Time

This has been my favorite thing to use as a missionary on the field who is lucky enough to have cheap data in each country she is in. I put a daily limit on my applications each day. An hour and thirty minutes for all social media apps together a day to limit my scrolling and increase my presence. Sometimes I go over if I am working on social media that day for blogging or for my separate company but for the most part, I am learning how to live without constant connection to the internet.



I hope these apps bring you some stress-free, joyful, "you" time. Sometimes, I even have fun just assigning myself tasks because NOTHING feels as good as an organization, am I, right ladies?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
