A Temporary Update

    Hiiiiii! It feels like forever since the last time I published a blog post on here. Here's a quick lil update on what I've been up to in the past year or so.

    First of all, I ended my gap year and started my freshman year of college. For those of you out there contemplating taking a gap year, I couldn't recommend it enough. It allowed me to explore who I was as person, while also expanding my perspective on the world in general. It was a rollercoaster year of joining the labor force full time for the first time, traveling, and making loads of memories with friends. I am a completely different person at the end of the gap year than I was as the beginning

    Secondly, starting college. Whew. It's been a lot. While gap year was super fun, I got realllyyyy comfy not doing ANY schoolwork. The first semester was a huge adjustment, but I would also partially contribute that to the fact that it was also my first time not living at home. Living in the dorms was a crazy experience. I mean come on, when else do you have the opportunity to live with the majority of your friends within walking distance from you? Again, I couldn't recommend it enough.

    Because my life has changed a lot, I'm also going to be changing things up on here a little bit. I'm going to start back up the month by month goal posts, but I'm also going to be blogging a lot about my college experience so far. From study tips to making friends freshman year, this blog will be steeped in college tea. So look forward to more posts (usually around 5pm on Mondays!) and thanks for sticking with me!

Breakfast On The Go: Yogurt Granola Popsicles

Personally, I feel like having to wake up early in the morning takes enough effort without having to spend a bunch of time making breakfast. However, breakfast is a very important meal and can impact how the rest of your day goes. So, even though I don't want to spend a lot of time on it, I do want to make sure that I am eating something that is healthy and will boost my energy. Currently, one of my favorite breakfast options is a yogurt granola popsicle. It's essentially a yogurt parfait but frozen, which is perfect for me as I don't typically like the consistency of yogurt. This recipe is extremely easy and perfect to make for yourself or with kids. Makes 6 serving Prep Time: 10 minutes Freeze Overnight ~What You Will Need~ 1/2 cup Granola: it doesn't matter what type, just use whatever is your favorite.  12 - 32 oz Yogurt: again, whichever your favorite type or flavor is. Greek works as well as regular yogurt. Optional: 10 blackberries, or fruit of yo

A Day of Pampering

Image
   It has been a lovely day today. I haven't actually gotten anything done that I was supposed to, which is admittedly making me feel slightly anxious...but at least for once I have a valid excuse. I've come down with a nasty cold, which makes it seems like I shouldn't be having a nice day, but the cold has gotten to the point where I am no longer needing to take loads of ibuprofen and  cough drops, but where I am still very low on energy. So, because of that, and the fact that it's my day off from work, I've been spending my entire day in bed. Just writing that makes me cringe because it is so horribly unproductive, but I think it's important to just take a day every once in a bit and totally pamper yourself. It makes you so much more relaxed, focused, and ready to conquer the future days. Not to mention, a small bit of future you may feel the need to be much more productive than usual to counteract the laziness of the current day, but let's not focus on t
