Why We Love Pinterest
Pinterest

Pinterest is the one site that actually makes you feel like a real-life blogger. You pin your interests, create boards with categories of things you like, and eventually your Pinterest turns into an array of things you enjoy. As a user for a few years now, I think I've narrowed it down to a few key reasons why we gravitate toward this outlet of creativity.

1. The Recipes

Pinterest has the BEST recipes. And better yet, once you pin one type of recipe, it proceeds to recommend a variety of recipes they think you might enjoy. It's like having your own recipe book personalized just for you. It also has the best drink recipes. I always look back to my recipe board if I'm looking for a new drink to try with friends.

2. Free Workouts

Why purchase a workout guide or a gym membership when you can go to Pinterest for an infinite amount of workouts? There's a variety of at home workouts that Pinterest advertises, and there are so many that you are guaranteed to find something that suits you.

3. The Outfits

The girls that appear on my Pinterest feed always have the best style. Pinning these pictures to a Style Board is the perfect way to see all of the styles that appeal to you. When I'm shopping, I sometimes pull up my Style Board just to remind myself of the type of clothing I'd like to own and the styles I want to achieve.

4. Home Ideas

This might just be my favorite. As a 20 year-old girl still living in her parent's home, I can't help but fantasize about the day I can afford to buy my own house. Pinterest makes you feel like you're an interior designer. I have a board created for all things home-related, and I know for a fact that when it comes to decorating my future home I'll be referencing my Pinterest regularly.

5. Wedding Plans

I'm not engaged, I don't even have a boyfriend, but because of Pinterest I think I have my entire wedding planned out. If you need wedding ideas, Pinterest is the go-to place. I have a board filled with ideas for my wedding when the time comes. Not to mention I've pinned a ton of wedding dress styles that I like. Whether it's in five years or ten years, I know for a fact my Pinterest will be my savior when it comes to wedding planning.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
