Pick me up ideas from your favorite college student :) 1) Retail Therapy Sometimes you just need a day to do some shopping, whether that’s a target run or going into over priced boutiques to do a little window shopping… 2) Wonder One of life’s greatest acts is the ability to wonder. I’m a

Daily habits that keep me grounded as a college student College can feel loud. Everyone’s rushing, optimizing, doing more. These are the few habits I come back to when I need things to feel simple again. 1. Getting outside Even on busy days, I try to step outside, a short walk, fresh air, su

Everyone wants to be healthy, move more, eat better… we’ve all heard the speech a million times. This is what actually working on it looks like for me, my 2026 wellness rebrand, but realistic. 1. Staying active I’m a few months into Pilates instructor training and it’s completely changed how I

Being the eldest daughter is such a weird mix of being the family’s unofficial therapist, personal assistant, emergency contact, and emotional shock absorber, all without anyone ever actually assigning you the role. You just… end up in it. 1. Being the family problem-solver You’re the one who k

Outgrowing an old version of yourself is so much harder than anyone admits. Even when you want better for yourself, the actual process feels confusing, emotional, and honestly… a little heartbreaking. 1. Outgrowing your old self hurts There’s a strange grief in realizing you don’t relate to the

No one really talks about how lonely self-improvement can be. Everyone posts the glow-ups, the routines, the clean rooms, the workout clips… but they don’t show the in-between. The quiet parts. The parts where you’re trying so hard to change but it feels like you’re doing it completely alone. 1.

Cozy fall doesn’t have to mean spending money. Being a college student forces you to get creative, but honestly… the low-budget stuff ends up being the most peaceful and grounding. Here are a few of my go-to fall activities that don’t break the bank: 1. Fall walks & coffee Campus is actuall

Homesickness hits so much harder in college than anyone prepares you for. Here are a few things that helped me (and still help me) whenever I start feeling out of place or overwhelmed. 1. Find comfort in animals Being around dogs instantly grounds me. When I first moved, I spent so much time si

A bit of what being a pilates apprentice looks like! I’m so incredibly grateful to have the time and ability to do this program. When I first started I didn’t realize how much time i had to commit to it, but it’s 100% worth all the effort. I’m also so fortunate enough to have a fantastic gr

Romanticize the Stage That You’re In We all tend to rush through the in-between, the part where things aren’t fully figured out yet. But that’s usually where the most growth happens. Here’s how to slow down and actually fall in love with where you are right now. 1. Shift from waiting to living

Hey! Since fb group chats are so congested i’m taking to Lemon8 to start looking for roommates! (and friends in general) I’m soooo done with the dorm life so definitely looking to get a stable apartment with one or two people Budget is below 1500. Comment below or DM on insta!!! xoxo

1. Let yourself be where you are. Stop rushing to feel better, fix everything, or hit the next milestone. Some seasons are about being still and letting life catch up to you. 2. Talk to yourself the way you talk to your friends. You’d never tell a friend they’re “failing” for resting, so stop

Acknowledge the Slump Not every season is about pushing forward. Sometimes, you hit a wall, mentally, emotionally, or just energetically, and that’s okay. Instead of fighting it, I’ve been learning to recognize it for what it is: a signal to slow down. You don’t have to fix it right away. Somet

Mindset Reset When I left NYC, I felt like I was stepping backward. But now I realize I was just stepping back to realign. My goal this time isn’t to rush back, it’s to come back ready. I’m rebuilding my confidence, discipline, and clarity before I move again. This season is about peace, not pr
