Hello! I am back from my brief blogging break to share a life update. I took these past couple weeks off to finish out my semester. I really missed blogging and being creative, but I knew I had to take a break to focus on school without overloading myself. Today I wanted to share a little bit about my life in 2021 so far. It’s been a difficult year and I feel it’s important to talk about the lows sometimes in this blogging/social media world because social media is typically a highlight reel of perfect moments. Everyone struggles, especially this past year, so I just want to say it is okay to not be okay.
I thought it’d be fun to write some tips on how to choose your college major since it’s been awhile since I’ve written about school. When I started college, I never thought I would end up in journalism. I began college as an undeclared major because I truly had no idea what I wanted my future career to be. I hope this post helps any who are in the same boat! Let’s get into how to choose your college major.
Today I’ll be reflecting on 2020 here on the blog even though we are well into January. 2020 was a rough year for all of us granted we’ve literally been living through a global pandemic. I wanted to share the ups and downs of my year because I think it is important to reflect and learn from both the good and the bad in our lives. Let’s get into it!
Today I am celebrating quitting my second job of the year. Last Sunday was my final shift working as a retail associate at Ulta. I started working there last July and it was my first real part time job where I worked close to 20 hours a week on top of school. I loved being around makeup all of the time, but I honestly didn’t enjoy that job very much. I’m happy to say I’ve finally quit that job!
When the pandemic hit the United States in March, I decided it was time to reread the Harry Potter series. The world has felt devastatingly dark this year and I needed a good story like Harry Potter to keep my mind and heart occupied. I started rereading in March and I finally finished the last book a couple weeks ago when my fall semester started. Here’s some reflections I have after rereading the series:
It’s been a longggg time since I’ve done a favorite post so I’d decided to share my August favorites today. I included my favorite things I’ve purchased recently that I would 100% buy again. In today’s post, I’ll be sharing my favorite fashion pieces, beauty products, and accessories. I hope you enjoy!
After taking the summer off school, it’s time to prepare for the fall semester again. It seems like this summer has gone by in a flash, but you know, what even is time during a pandemic? Today, I’m sharing some things I’m doing to get ready for another semester of college.
If you’re in college like I am, your classes are probably online now due to the coronavirus. Since taking classes virtually is very different from in person, I thought I’d share some tips for how to succeed in online classes. If I’m being 100% honest, online classes are not my favorite, but I’ve taken them over the years alongside my regular schooling to learn some tips and tricks.
