How to Make a Pin that Drives Traffic

Gifts Under $40 for the Outdoorsy Friend

Christmas is FAST approaching, which in some ways is amazing and in others is utterly terrifying. This gift guide was super fun to put together, mostly because I am the *outdoorsy friend* so it was basically like making a wishlist. I despise gift guides that have a 10 paragraph intro about them, their lives, what [...]

Time Management Skills You Need to Manifest the Life You Deserve

When I talk to people about productivity, some of the things I hear the most are "I don't have enough time in the day," or "I don't know how to manage my time." Time management is tricky because well, life is tricky. We often convince ourselves that we don't have enough time to complete our [...]

Everything You Need to Know About Study Abroad

This past semester (fall 2018) I decided to accept an offer to study abroad in Budapest, Hungary. I have been here for just over two months, and I can truly say it is one of the most amazing and changing decisions I have ever made.

Things You Should’ve Been Telling Yourself All Along

My mind flows the most freely when I am stressed. Before sitting down to write this, I told myself I was going to lay in bed all day today. It's raining, and it's cold. That alone can take my mood from a 10 to a 3 in a matter of minutes. So that combined with [...]

Why to Start Embracing Being Unapologetic

For the longest time, my life centered so much around others. I was constantly thinking  things like "was it stupid to say that," "do they think I'm weird," "what if I say this and they don't like me?" Even though I felt independent, I was living a life based off of what other people expected [...]

5 Ways You Can Actually Save and Make Money

I try to travel as often as I can, but I'm also a full time student so I don't really have the skills or the time to have a like real life "career," that will give me a salary to easily support all my travel ventures. That being said, I often have to get creative [...]

How to Pack With a Backpacker’s Ticket

"Backpacker's tickets" have honestly saved my life. If you don't already know, they are the cheapest of the cheap when it comes to airline tickets. Yes, you will load the plane last. Yes, you will probably be in the middle. And finally, yes you will not have access to overhead bins. When I first read [...]
