Last year I invested over $100 into a north face backpack because I had always heard that those are the best. I was sadly mistaken. Only one binder and my laptop fit into the backpack, and I could barely squeeze my water bottle into the side pocket.
All in College

If I've learned one thing this past year in college it's that planning ahead is everything. I am not taking any summer classes, but this summer I will be studying - a lot. In high school getting A's came easy to me; I didn't have to do much work, and I always seemed to grasp concepts easily. But college is a whole other ball game.
This summer I will be studying for calculus in preparation for the fall after completely failing at life in that class last semester. To make studying more fun, I decided to put together a cute Lilly-Inspired binder insert.
Last week I opened my mail to possibly the best thing I could've seen. New planners! If you don't know about my obsession with day planners by now, then you will after this. This past year I couldn't find the prefect planner for college. My high school one wasn't enough, and the new ones I found were too much.

Today's the day, I am moving out of my first dorm and headed home for the summer. This is such a bittersweet day for all of us. I've spent the last week complaining about school and dying to go home, but as soon as I finished my last final I knew I never wanted to leave. My freshman year has been amazing. It wasn't what I had expected my first year of college to be like, but
About a year ago I began searching Pinterest for the best college packing list. Once I found the perfect one I felt like I had to buy everything on it or I wouldn’t be prepared for college. But buying all that stuff didn't help me prepare, it just cluttered up my dorm. Here are four trendy dorm purchases you shouldn't buy, and what you should bring instead.
When looking, or thinking about, working in college you need to consider your academics. School always comes first, and you may be nervous about having a job while in school; but what you'll soon find out is life is really expensive.
Outlining your textbook can be difficult. What do I write? How should I write it? How much is too much? The answer is there are no answers. Each person will learn to write textbook outlines in the best way for them. This is why I did not title this post "How-To...", this is what I've found to be the most effective way of textbook outlining.
I love books. I don't have as much time to read in college as I'd like, but I couldn't live in my dorm without a few (15) books. I keep most of my books in a basket in the bottom of my bookshelf, but I keep my favorite eight on the top shelf (along with my stack of Vogue)
