With finals starting this week and after some not-too-happy events that happened this weekend, I thought I’d focus on the positives! I think it’s really important to surround yourself with things that make you smile and make you happy! So, in these hard and stressful times known as finals week, I thought I’d share the things in my life that make me smile!
Oh wow. I tried a more creative title for today’s post, and I’m not too sure how I feel about it. Thoughts? Anyways, finals week is less than a week away, and that means I’m that much closer to moving out of college! Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the freedom of college. I don’t, however, like my current living situation.
So, here are some things I’m not going to miss once I move back home.
I’ve always heard that the engineering and computing fields are dominated by men and that only a fraction of a percent of engineering and computing students at colleges and universities are girls. Going into college, I thought that this was just a statistic that has become overblown in the past few years. But when I walked in to my first computer science class last semester, I realized it’s all true. Being one of a small group of girls in my major has really changed my view on myself and social stigmas.
My exact major is computer information systems. Basically, it’s computer science combined with a business minor. Personally, I think this is a really well-rounded degree. I’m becoming a computer scientist all while learning about business. [Read more…] about Computer Science: A Girl’s Perspective
Yes, you read that right. I’m a morning person and I’m a college student. I know that’s a rare pairing, but I love it! College doesn’t have to mean late nights spent studying or even having to pull all-nighters. I can tell you that I (somehow) manage to get 8 hours of sleep a night, stay on top of my school work, and have a social life.
Here are my reasons why I’m a morning person, even in college.
Class registration is here once again! This can either be really stressful because hello schedule conflicts! or… yeah, no it’s basically just a really stressful time. You’re basically scheduling how stressful your life is going to be for the next four months.
On top of just trying to get the classes you need and hoping there will be no schedule conflicts, there are so many other things you need to consider! Today I have five things that you may not have considered when it comes to scheduling classes.

Today I’m going to get a little more personal than I usually do in my posts. I am talking about fitness, my struggles and triumphs with fitness, and how it’s changed my outlook on life. I feel that sometimes, especially with girls, we think that we have to have this perfect body, that we can’t gain weight, and that if you don’t fit a specific stereotype, it’s not okay. Today I want to share how none of that is true and that all that really matters is your own happiness, whether that be from working out or sitting on the couch devouring a bag of chips (because tbh, both of those things make me very happy).
The world paints a really distorted view of being healthy or being in shape. Society highlights all of these teeny tiny models with itty bitty waists and that’s our view of healthy. Now, I’m not saying that these models aren’t healthy. [Read more…] about My Fitness Journey
