Top 5 Things I Did During My Week Without Technology

There's so much there when you just look up.

Top 5 Things I Did During My Week Without Technology

Over the past week, the weather has taken a turn and it's finally lovely outside. So now, I'm taking advantage of it as much as I can. Along with the nice weather, I've also taken a much needed break from technology. It's truly amazing to find out what's out there when you just look up every once in a while.

1. Read A Book

This one seems so obvious, yet whenever I had spare time before, I always turned right to Netflix. After an evening of sitting around watching T.V. I feel lazy and unproductive, but after reading all evening I feel re-energized.


2. Sitting Outside

Where I live, I have a balcony that faces the woods, I see a lot of deer, and best of all, the sun! But then again, anywhere outside is great! I spent my time on the balcony doing everything from homework, to reading, to making friendship bracelets, to just sitting around and enjoying the nature.


3. Take A Drive

There's something so invigorating about the first time each year you get to drive down some long back road. Especially with all the windows down and the music just a little too loud. Just a drive though, no places to be and no rushing, just driving.


4. Take A Hike

Cliche, I know. But what better way to enjoy a sunny day after a cold and rainy week than some time outside -- with a view! Now calling what I did a hike is a stretch, but none the less... there was sure a view!


5. Cook!

I find that I am often so attached to my phone and computer, that when it's time for dinner I make something easy and definitely not healthy. While being away from my phone, I've cooked just a few more full meals from recipes!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

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.
