Hey guys! As the beginning of the school year approaches, a lot of you are probably starting the college application proces. When I applied to colleges last year, I remember spending hours just looking for helpful resources and advice. So, I decided to make your life a little easier and create a masterpost of college app resources! Let me know if you have any resources you’d like to add to the list. I will also edit this post whenever I find new sources to add :) Good luck cuties, you can do it!

01.07.18 • This quote is so overused, but lately I’ve begun to realize the importance of it. If I go weeks with my head down, working all of the time, not paying attention to what I need… Well that’s just not sustainable. In order to maintain motivation, I need to spend some time doing something that makes me genuinely happy, whether that be calligraphy or reading or watching a show. I hope you can find time to do the same :)
12.10.18. An old spread from my planner. Between school, college applications, my relationship/friendships, and every other commitment, life has been a little overwhelming lately. I find that writing reminders to myself in my planner helps to calm me down :)
12.08.18. A friendly reminder to take care of yourself during this finals week :) For many of us, finals determine a decent portion of our grades, but remember that your grades don’t determine your worth. In the end, it’s just one test!
