Tips + Tricks to Surviving College


Well, it’s unfortunately almost that time again. The time of new notebooks, fresh pens, a new class schedule and lack of sleep is just right around the corner,


My first day back of classes is August 23rd. When do you all start back???

August 23rd officially begins my senior year of college + I do not know how to feel about it. But that’s a post for another time.

Since it is time for senior year, I think I (well for the most part) have the whole college thing down. I honestly would not have survived without these tips!

1. Go to class.

I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I have skipped class. Yes, technically you do not have to go to class because most professors don’t take attendance, but how else will you know what’s going on in class and be able to stay on top of your assignments? It’s important. You pay way too much to skip class just bc you want to sleep in. GO.

2. Pay attention in class.

Going to class is one thing (round of applause for going, bc that is a big deal). It’s also more important to pay attention. Take notes, observe, ask questions, engage, make class pals. IT makes all the difference.

3. Invest in proper attire.

Running shorts, t-shirts, tennis shoes. You can do it all in this one simple outfit. You can go to class, study efficiently, run errands, go to the gym, all in one outfit. It’s incredible. 10/10 recommend.

Travel Guide: Clemson, SC

 Here’s a new blog series I want to do occasionally. I love traveling (lol I don’t really do it though) + going on little adventures with friends + finding some fun new places to eat, shop and of corse take them insta pics, ya feel me??? 

So today’s first Favorite Things is featuring the wonderful + grand: Clemson, SC. I’ve been going to Clemson literally my entire life so I’ve definitely discovered some fun things to do in the area + I just wanted to share them with you all to show you some of the reasons why this is my favorite place!! 

1. Death Valley.
Ok this one might seem silly, but sometimes when I’m just having a bad day, or it’s a great day and I’m out running errands, I always somehow find myself driving by the stadium to get a glimpse of pure happiness. I blame this on my dad who always said growing up and still til this day, he will not come and leave Clemson without driving by the stadium and I can honestly say I doubt he ever has not driven by when he’s in town. #obsessed


2. All In. 
Not much better than enjoying double chocolate cake while struggling to get homework done. While I’m not always productive here bc I typically go with friends, I love the atmosphere and the yummy treats. I literally spent everyday at All In my freshman year + idk how my wallet survived.

3. Rowing Dikes. 
Nothing better than spending a pretty day walking the dikes with some gal pals. They literally have the best view of campus + Lake Hartwell and are always full of friendly faces and energetic pups (:


4. Abernathy Park.
There’s this really secluded park in downtown and it really is such a relaxing escape. I find myself here a lot during stressful weeks and a lot when the weather is warm. The park is right on the lake with bench swings, tables and a short walking trail. It’s the best place to get out and have some real intentional Jesus time bc there’s hardly anyone ever there + it has the best little view. 

5. The Smoking Pig
In my personal opinion, it’s the best tasting bbq I have ever had. They have the best side dishes and those are really what they are known for. Make sure you get there early bc there is always a line!

Current Favorites

*singssss* Here are a few of my favorite things

1. My new baby



I LOVE THIS BAG. I’ve never had an adult bag before. I really wanted to invest something nice, practical and that I’ll use for forever. I deff got that all in this bag. I can use it in all seasons bc of the color, I can take it to job interviews, a big girl job someday (fingers crossed) and it’s just really pretty. (:



I have always been a HP fan, but just the movies. Like I love them and I have for forever. This summer I started reading the books + to say they are good is an understatement. I am currently on the 5th, Order of the Phoenix, and I think this might be my favorite so far!

3. Corkcicle


This water bottle has seriously changed the game for me. There has not been one day since I got it that I haven’t used it. 
-It’s adorable
-pink
-monogramed (well I added that)
-keeps my water ice cold all day

Seriously get this water bottle. It’s worth the investment.
