First Day

Posted August 27th, 2009 at 11:09 AM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

The first day of school seems to have changed so much since the olden days of elementary school. I remember being so excited for school to start because it meant that I would get to color with my friends and play on that awesome slide at recess. My mom would take me shopping a week before school started to buy a new lunch box and a Lisa Frank folder and then I would return home even more excited than before!

Not much changed during middle/high school. Sure, I graduated from the Lisa...

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?!

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!

Anyways, turns out that I need to have a thank you letter written and sent to...

Making a list, checking it twice!

Posted August 18th, 2009 at 11:47 AM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

Just to recap: I got home from my trip to Kansas (To see family!) last night and I will be hitting the pavement this Saturday morning to move back to college! It is all happening so fast!! Does anyone else feel this way?

Anyways, I have a never ending to-do list in the works and I have about 4 days to cross it all off! While we all have different things that consume our minds the days before going back to school, I thought I would share my to-do list with you and perhaps spark some...

It’s your life…Let’s keep it that way!

Identity theft is an important issue that impacts the majority of the population in one of two ways. Some individuals sweep the idea under the rug and tout the “It will never happen to me” mantra; while others become so paranoid that it adversely affects their everyday lives, as they attempt to hide their credit cards and Social Security information in the floorboards of their attic, refuse to sign up or pay for anything online and run as fast as their two feet will carry them when they encounter...
