the college girls guide to: making your Christmas list

-

 Welcome back! 

Christmas is right around the corner and if you’re anything like me, you never know what to ask for. 


Today we’re gonna cover some Christmas essentials for college girls! 


First things first, gift cards!! 


We all get tired of dining hall food but don’t want to spend money going out to eat, gift cards are a perfect way to combat this. Ask for a few from your favorite places to eat near campus and stock up so when you get back to campus after the holidays, you can treat yourself! 


Next up is beauty/skin care! 


Now is the perfect time to ask for all the trending stuff you’ve seen on TikTok. 


Whether it be new makeup or just refills on what you already have. 


A lot of times stores will have sample sizes available around the holidays, so this is the perfect time to try new products. 


ULTA Holiday Gift Guide 


Sephora Gift Guide 

^^ links to some ideas! 


Water bottles are also a great idea! 


We all need to drink more water, and it’s a lot easier to drink it out of a cute water bottle. 


There’s lots of cute options this year, from Stanley to the tried-and-true Hydro flask. 


I use a Hydro Flask and it’s been with me since sophomore year of high school. 


Next up is slippers! 


Dorm floors can be cold and dirty, and slippers are an easy way to stay cozy without having to put shoes on every time you need to leave. 


I got these Ugg slippers for Christmas last year, and I wear them every day! 


These are just a few ideas to get you started, and obviously these aren’t for everyone, but I hope this gets you started with some suggestions! 


Till next time,

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...
