Roomies can be friends or....

After I type up this post, I will be hitting the pavement to.....run errands! haha Nothing too exciting; but it's got to be done, right?! Anyways, around noon, I will be meeting up with my roommate for this upcoming year to talk about what we will need, etc (although, she happens to be one of my best friends too, so I'm sure there will be some chit chat going on as well!).

I know from experience that talking with your roommate, before and during your time together will be a lifesaver....

Letters, Thank You's, Dollars, Oh my!

Posted August 19th, 2009 at 06:00 PM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

So, I am preparing to leave for school and, as a result, finally went back into the extra bedroom where I left my dorm stuff from last year (which seems more like last month). While I was sorting through the desk stuff, I discovered a scholarship letter that I had been looking for. I generally put my scholarships (and all other important documents) in a file folder; but this one got away from me somehow!

Workin’ for the Weekend

I am currently standing behind the counter of my local frozen yogurt shop, where I was privileged to find a job this summer and it has me thinking…should I get a job when I move back on campus?

My freshman year, I was scared enough (haha)and felt overwhelmed, without the stress and time that comes with a new job. However, I now feel as though I am fully capable of working somewhere on/near campus while still succeeding with my studies. Then again, in the back of my mind, I know that...
