Dorm Tour + Stress Less Tips

Sophomore year is here, and the only thing that has changed is my dorm room. If you’ve seen my previous dorm room tour, you’ll spot a lot of things that are the same, but I thought I might as well make an update post. Here is my new dorm room tour and a few de-stressing tips.

From August 6-21, the Olympics took place in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Of course, I was in front of the screen on the NBC channel for 90 percent of the time, and so I want to write about it. In kind of a part II of my previous Olympics-based post, here is the Olympics through my eyes.

If I Can Learn to Do it…

“Now shoulders back, and stand up tall, and do not walk but try to float…”

I am back with a post about the things I want to learn how to do! I at least want to do two of these things. Tell me in the comments about things you want to learn to do.

      First semester down. I did it. How? That’s a good question. Unfortunately,  I have no idea. Leadership 101 killed me and I gained 20 pounds! But here I am, in my childhood house (I enjoy calling my dorm “home”) typing and listening to Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl’s podcast(someone tell me they listen to it too) and spending my literal last cents (I have $2 left to my name) to online shopping.

But, let us rewind. I’ve seen a few people saying how much they/others have changed since the summer. So I’m gonna self-analyze, here. I have a few ways (p.s. I haven’t thought of them yet) that I have changed since the start of college… Or how I can argue that I’ve stayed the same.
