I've had quite a few people ask me what a "Brand Representative" is. Ask me why I post so many pictures on social media and why I keep pushing some products so hard. Well that's because it's my job! I am and have been a Brand Rep for quite a few companies. I've worked with Sand Cloud Towels, Pura Vida, Vaya Lifestyle, Serengetee, Wanderer Bracelets, Pure Tatts, Morro Wear and more. Now I don't work for all of them at once, usually I overlap 3 or 4 but you learn over time what companies are like and who you want to work for.

A Brand Rep is basically a person who represents the company and has to provide various services, such as posting on social media, spreading the word of the company, taking pictures, providing feedback, ect. In return, most companies give free products and many give commission based on how many sales you make.

Here are my favorite companies I've been a Brand Rep for!

Serengetee

Seregetee has a unique program in where it is semester based and targeted towards high school and college students. They have a point system where you get a free item from their store and have to compete in competitions to gain points for prizes and gear. Competitions include specific pictures, videos, and sales earned. Currently you can apply to be a Fall Campus rep on their website and be sure to mention my name when you apply! I got a lot of items from Serengetee which I love to wear, so it was a nice program to participate in.

Wanderer Bracelets

Wanderer Bracelets had a program in which they sent us a lot of bracelets in a rep kit, in addition to a customized bracelet. We had to post weekly on our social media and send in 5 pictures each weekend showcasing our bracelet. In addition to the free bracelets, I also got 10% on all bracelets I sold which is a huge plus! This was their first go around on a Rep Program and they're going to change a few things, so I'm not sure how it'll be for this season. However, applications are open, so feel free to look up Wanderer Bracelets and apply! Gotta do my job so, if you want 10% off Wanderer Bracelets use the code 'LAURENBORCHART10' at checkout!

Sand Cloud Towels

Sand Cloud does not give out anything for free, however, they do give a generous discount on your first towel and a specific code for you to pass out to fiends and family. Based on how many purchases are made using your code and how often you participate in their social media opportunities, you can ear $50 credit to their store! Another shameless plug here, use the code 'Lborchart25' for 25% off your purchase!

If you have any questions please feel free to ask or if you want discounts to some of the other places I listed above message me, it's a great thing to add to resumes and get a little extra cash and gifts!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
