Moving or cleaning can be super stressful. No matter what age you are it is good to know how to be organized to help life be less stressful. Here are 5 tips everyone should know on how to make your life less stressful.

Keep a planner.

This is a big one for me, I am that person who can be kind of forgetful and late to things. Keeping a planner helps a lot, you can have a physical planner you can write in or you can just put things on your phone. It helps you keep things on track and keeps you organized so you know when and where things are happening or when stuff is due.

Label things.

I used to think there was no reason to label things but boy was I wrong. When you keep like things together in a container or draw it helps to have a label to know what you are putting where when it comes down to trying to find something.

Organize things by item or color.

This is a big thing with clothes, especially in your closet. For me, I organize everything in my closet by the type of item: dress, business/dress clothes, tub tops, tank tops, short sleeves, long sleeves, then jackets, and sweatshirts. This helps to make things easy when it comes to switching out clothes each season and also knowing where everything in my closet is.

Use storage bins.

I CANNOT preach enough how much of space saver storage bins are. Especially when it comes to having a lot of clothes but not enough drawer space, consider under the bed rolly containers. They are great to put each season's clothes away or to just keep extra sweatshirts or blankets hidden and out of the way. Also using things like the 3 or 5 drawers Sterilite containers is always helpful for organizing the area under your desk or bed or sink.

Get rid of stuff that is taking up space.

One space saver and way to organize things is to just get rid of things. If you haven't touched an item of clothes or accessory or device in over a year it is time to say GOODBYE to it. You don't need things to take up space that can be used for other things.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
