These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

These are a few of my favorite things!

How much free time do any of us truly seem to have these days? I personally feel as though I have none. Now, of course, that is an exaggeration. I mean, we all have some moments of sparsity, however, when you have many responsibilities, it literally can feel as though you have no time for even the small things, like showering or getting ready. When our lives are so involved, it’s helpful to evolve. There are certain products, and resources that make my life easier on a daily basis. So I just wanted to take the time to share my favorites with you.

I want to exercise and work out daily (okay I'd even settle for weekly). My good intentions, however, never seem to transpire into reality, so instead I do my best to eat a little better daily, and get some good nutrition. I am a huge fan of Nakedsmoothie fruit drinks. On top of tasting absolutely amazing, they are made directly from whole fruit with no added preservatives. They give me so much energy and help me run strong all day long!

I would love to look like I just stepped out of allure magazine, or came from the Kardashian house where I have my own personal spray tan, and makeup artist. Of course, I couldn't come close to that, so to get a quick and flawless finish look, I use Sephora HD foundation. I never feel the need to add a filter even on close ups while wearing this great makeup product.

I do not always have time to go shop for things I need, let alone be able to clip coupons, so I do the next best thing... I use the Groupon app. It’s a great way to buy things you need online (including gifts) while getting a really good deal. This app has all kinds of things you can find, from meal deals to pedicures, and everything in between. I love Groupon!

Portable chargers have changed my life! It used to be, where can I plug this in at? Do I have enough time in my car to charge my phone up before I get there?Now it is as simple as pulling it out of my pocket and having the flexibility to charge my phone anywhere! Since my phone is the only way I do banking, or shopping, and is my main source for staying on top of my emails, being able to have the security to know I can power it up anytime, even after it dies, without any outlet or USB charger, is awesome!

There are lots of great products that allow our lives to run as smoothly as possible everyday. Life moves fast, and it is so important to stress as little as possible so that we can stay in the moment in this fast paced life, and still find the time to enjoy it. Using things that make our life easier, is how we can achieve a little extra free time. That is why the above listed items are a few of my favorite things!

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.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

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.
