As I have written about before, journalling is something that is very special to me- it is a part of my everyday life. It is a way to express yourself, vent, reflect, and even acts as a memory book for when you want to look back and read what you wrote.

For many, it is hard to just sit down with a pen and paper, or type in a document random thoughts but using prompts is the best way to guide yourself to get into the habit of journaling. I challenge you, for just one month, to start journaling using these prompts.

I challenge you to answer each one of these prompts, every day for an entire month. Get journaling- it will change your life.

1. Make a list of everything that makes you happy (this should be a long list!).

2. Write about a time where you felt embarrassed.

3. Describe your dream job.

4. If you could relive any year of your life, which one would it be?

5. Write about the first time you fell in love.

6. Describe what it looks like outside right now.

7. Who is your hero?

8. What is your favorite quote and what does it mean to you?

9. Write about a recent dream you had.

10. Describe your best friend.

11. What is your biggest pet peeve?

12. Describe your ideal day.

13. Coffee or Tea? Why?

14. What is your dream vacation?

15. Who do you miss the most?

16. What is the best memory from your childhood?

17. If you could meet anyone famous who would it be?

18. What is your favorite food and why?

19. If you could relive one day for the rest of your life what would it be?

20. What is your earliest memory?

21. If you could have the answer to any question what would it be?

22. If you won a million dollars, what would you do with it?

23. If you could be an actor in any movie, which would it be?

24. What is your daily routine?

25. Describe yourself in 3 words.

26. Write about growing something.

27. Write about your favorite season.

28. Describe where you sleep every night.

29. Do you like being alone or with people?

30. What is your favorite exercise?

31. What is your favorite thing to cook?

Here is a month's worth of writing prompts! Get journalling!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
