Quidditch at William Woods

At the beginning of the year I went to the club fair and guess what? I signed up for Quidditch, I like Harry Potter and my house is Hufflepuff. When we come together though, it doesn’t matter what house you are or what school you go to. It’s a game muggles play and love it or just love the game, either way it’s still fun.

College Jobs, the Truth Revealed

You’ve made it to college!  Since starting college you’ve discovered that there are a lot of different activities to juggle around in your schedule including classes, homework, clubs, LEAD events, and other extracurricular activities, and of course your own free time.  But you might have to add one more activity to that list: a job!

It’s no secret that college is expensive these days.  Because it is so expensive, few people can get away without working a job throughout college and/or going into debt.  Naturally, this makes your schedule a little tougher to handle.  Many people, if they qualify, do work study.  Others, like me, find a job.

College 4 Realz - College Classes

Education: The reason why you are at college. Classes are a major part of college and can make or break your college experience. I briefly described the difference between highschool and college classes in a previous post (here), but this post will go into more detail of what to expect and how to succeed in college level courses! Keep in mind that this is based off my personal experiences. Currently, I’ve only had 2 semesters of classes, and before that I was homeschooled (which was on my meet me page) so my personal experiences are somewhat limited 😊

My Bullet Journal

In November of 2015 I ran across something on Pinterest, it was called a Bullet Journal and I decided to try it out. I found an old notebook that only had about 20 pages left and tried it out. After filling that journal I moved on to a new notebook and filled that one too. I am now on my 4^th bullet journal in 2 ½ years and it has changed my life.

For those of you who don’t know what a bullet journal is, it is not a typical journal, it does not involve writing about your day or anything of the sort. It is more of a book of lists; to-do lists, packing lists, any list you want. You can search the internet and you will find ideas all over Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and blogs. People all over America, and I’m sure in other countries as well, are jumping on the bandwagon. Ryder Carroll first came up with the idea and shared his system with the world here which is the simplest system. Then there are many people who have along and added their own thing (like Boho Berry, and Pretty Prints & Paper), which is exactly what Carroll wanted, it is designed so you can change it to fit YOUR needs and YOUR notebook and YOUR schedule, there is no one size fits all system here.
