How painting can heal you.

Having a hobby is the perfect way to spend your time!

How painting can heal you.

During these tough times in which we haven't been free to live our lives to the fullest, where our plans have been postponed, our routine has completely changed and we weren't able to travel, to go to concerts, to the theatre, to meet our family, to go out for a pizza or to go to a mall with our friends, it's only when your routine changes and you are alone with yourself that you start thinking about what to do during your free time!

Creativity in every form can allow you to keep your mind strong and to tackle a stressful time, as the Covid pandemic has been!

Being creative, is the perfect way to escape from the news, the numbers of CoVid patients that the TV fills us all up every single day.

It's free, it's healing and it saves you without knowing!

You don't need to go out of your house, but still, you can create landscapes, existent natural places, or magical scenarios only evading with your brain. Put on some music and let the creativity that is in you inspire you and lead you to a peaceful mindset.

Creativity can save you,

creativity can bring joy to your grey afternoons,

Creativity can make you happy,

Creativity is the best way to fill up your daily routine!

Are you creative? Do you have a hobby? Sure you do! You all have a creative soul, you just need to explore it! Dance, sing, write or paint, each of these hobbies can bring you happiness without being aware of it.

This last year has been kind of tough for everyone, all over the world. While we were in a lockdown, I spent my afternoons with a canvas and some brushes in my hands, and my day got brightened!

I have been painting for ten years now, but I've never realized how painting can really heal you, can relax you, can relieve you, can change your humor!

Painting allows you to calm your inner peace, to let go of all the problems during the day, to drive away negative thoughts. You need some inspiration to create something beautiful, a landscape, a portrait, a still life, an abstract image...it motivates you, it brings you joy!

Even if you are a beginner, it doesn't matter! Get started! There's no right or wrong in panting, whatever it is it expresses your feelings and gives emotions to the viewer.

Get a canvas, a drawing sheet, and some brushes with colors, and start painting! You won't know how creativity can heal your soul, relax your mind, and can change your life!

"Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life."

College In Gifs

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
