Top 10 Things That Make Learning Fun

Hey so don’t freak out or anything, but finals are just around the corner. It’s a time of stress and isolation from the world (goodbye for now Brick Street!). This is a week of figuring out how to keep your head from exploding and pretending like you have your life together, which you probably don’t!

So as a senior, I’m a little past the point of freaking out past the point of sanity over essays and exams because I know I’m going to try my best and work hard, and whatever happens, happens!

Finals are inevitable. So might as well make them as enjoyable as possible, right? Right.

Here are 10 school supplies that make learning and studying a much more enjoyable experience (humor me).

1. Pilot Retractable Premium Roller Pen

This baby is truly like writing with butter, so smooth and satisfying! Personally, I fancy the ultra-fine tip pen.

2. Pentel Twist-Erase

Twisty erasers, chic silver accents, and a stunning latex-free grip! What more could you ask for in a pencil?

3. Ban.do Agenda

This is my bible right here, folks. My entire academic life is in here. All of it. Hands off, get your own. Ban.do Agendas are super hot on the market right now, so I have kindly provided you with a link to purchase it on Ebay.

4. Sharpie Highlighters

Sharpie highlighters are there for me when my eyes simple can’t gaze upon another sentence of plain old black and white Times New Roman text. Your study guide is begging to be colored. Give it what it wants.


Target

5. Post-it Pop-ups

Psh, no they are not pointless and a waste of money. They’re awesome. Big ‘ol regular sized post-it notes get crinkled and distressed. These are the perfect size and stick effortlessly to your textbook.


6. Five Star Notebook

This one is a classic. In my opinion, the Godfather of all notebooks is Five Star. They are simple, sturdy, and those handy little folders inside…genius!


Staples

7. Computer Case

Always use protection! Your laptop is essentially your lifeline in college; treat it right. Perhaps with some Marc Jacobs?

8. Lilly Pulitzer Planner

For two and a half beautiful years, I used a Lilly Pulitzer planner. They will always at some point be a staple in every college girl’s career. Beautiful artwork and excellent organization, thanks Lil!


Saks Fifth Avenue

9. Self-Control App

Fine, laugh now, but come finals week you’ll be thanking me. This is a free program that prevents you from visiting your favorite websites. For me, my list consists of Facebook, Pinterest, and Refinery 29. Download this ASAP, everyone.

10. Colored Sharpies

I love these guys for group projects and labeling my notebooks and folders. Sure you can borrow my sharpies! Just make sure you put them back in their correct color order.


Target

That’s it. So bookmark this article now and over winter break have mom and dad buy you these lovely school supplies. You simply won’t be able to do well on your finals without the, right? Works every time.

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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.
