the college girls guide to: being thankful

-


Thanksgiving was just a few days ago, and I’m sure you went around the table and talked about what you were thankful for. 

But we shouldn’t just be thankful on Thanksgiving. 


Today we’re gonna talk about how to be thankful all year long! 


I used to make lists of everything I was thankful for, either on paper or in my note's app, but I would include every little thing that made me happy. 


The little things are easy to forget but they can make a big difference. 


So, I encourage you to think about all the little things you’re thankful for, this can be as simple as the roof over your head or the air you breathe. Nothing is too small to be thankful for. 


Making a huge list of everything can be overwhelming and time consuming, so start your list and add a few things every day. 


Another thing you can do is let people know you’re thankful for them. 


Text your friends and family every now and then and just let them know you’re thinking about them. This not only will help you practice gratitude, but it will probably make their day as well. 


Or next time you see a TikTok or picture that reminds you of your friends, send it to them. It always feels nice to know people are thinking about you when you’re not with them. 


These are just a few things you can do to practice gratitude and thankfulness all year long. Always remember that your life is a gift and there is SO much to be thankful for always! 


Till next time,

* here a just a few of the people I'm most thankful for :)

the college girls guide to: new years resolutions

-
  Welcome back!!   The new year is upon us and every year we all make tons of unrealistic resolutions that we give up on about a month into the new year. So today I’m gonna give you some practical resolutions to make 2024 the best year yet!   🧡 DRINK MORE WATER!   This is something we all need to do and it’s super easy. If you struggle drinking water, start small. Replace one drink a day with water and go from there. Or if you really want to start big, cut out so da or tea completely and only drink water. I did that a few years ago and I haven’t looked back.   Even if you have to add flavor to your water, it’s better than no water at all.   🩷 STICK TO A ROUTINE!   This doesn’t have to be a grand routine but start with a morning or night routine that you consistently do. Whether this is making your bed before you start the day or spending less time on your phone before bed. Find one small area of your day that you can incorporate something c...

Finals are right around the corner, and they can bring a lot of unnecessary stress to the end of the yar, so today we’re gonna talk about how to reduce stress during finals week!   🩷 PLAN OUT YOUR WEEK!   You can’t have a stress-free finals wee k if y ou’re worried about last minute due dates and exam dates.   Write out the days of all of your assignments, projects and exams along with anything you need to complete them.   🧡 SCHEDULE YOUR STUDY TIME!   If you’re anything like me, you only study when you’re motivated. And during finals week, the motivation is nonexistent, so blocking out times when you HAVE to study is a must !   They don’t have to be huge chunks of time but give yourself enough time to accomplish everything on your to-do list.   🩷 GIVE YOURSELF STUDY BREAKS!   You can’t study for hours on end and expect to retain all of the information. You have to take breaks.   Give yourself 10 minutes and do absolutely ...

  Hi everyone!!   Welcome to A College Girls Guide, I’m Belle and I’m super excited you’re here.   For my first post, I wanted to give a little background of myself and my goals for this blog.   I’m currently a junior and a communications major at Charleston Southern University , I am 20 years old, and I am a first-generation college student! I created this blog to have a space to share my experience with college life so far, and to encourage and motivate other girls to pursue higher education as well.   So far, my college experience has been nothing short of amazing, I have made the best friends I could ask for, studying something I’m passionate about and not to mention I get to l ive in Charleston. At first, I was really nervous about going to college, especially since I didn’t really have anyone that had been through it to help me out, a nd it’s been a learning process, but I am super thankful I decided to pursue a higher education.   I was su...
