Pinterest Pins for College Newbies

College is the place where you found out who you are, new friends, and what you want to do with the rest of your life. There are so many things you need to know going into college, but that can be difficult. It takes years and fine tuning to figure out what you want in your college life, and that is okay! Throughout my years in college I came up with some Pinterest boards to help me organize and refine my college experience. Here is a list of 12 things to help with your new college life!

1. Save Money and still have your room smelling good with homemade frebeze.

Hopefully, you will not have to deal with much odor from your roommate or that laundry you are totally going to do every week. Still, it is great to have something on hand to keep everything smelling fresh in your dorm room. Here is a pin for homemade frebreze! As a college student you will need to be savvy with your money. It typically cost between 12 and 50 cents to make a bottle of frebeze with the listed ingredients. Be sure to test it out before trying it on your favorite comforter though. I had a foamy mess the first time I made it.


2. Websites that can help college students.

These websites will help you organize your study time, presentations, find great professors, and keep you from losing your mind all the same.

3. Dorm room hacks.

Here are several pins to help keep your dorm looking good and organized so you won't have to worry about anything else--except maybe studying and doing homework.

4. Crock Pot tips to save your soul and keep your belly full.

Mac n' cheese in a crock pot is my absolute favorite! These recipes are a good way to keep your hunger in check without having to leave your dorm room.

5. For morning people and the not so morning people.

At some point during your college career, you are going to need to take a class in the morning. Here are some hacks to get through your morning routine.

6. Avoid all nighters.

Someone may have boasted to you about college being about parties and all nighters, but quite truthfully you need sleep and time to get work done. Here is a helpful pin on how to avoid all nighters at all cost.

7. Great ideas for snack time!

To help your college life, you need to eat right and keep up your grades. Snacking helps to brain flow and keeps you focused. Here are some great ways to snack for the hungry college student.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
