Treading Water

Remember when I said I would be posting once a week now that I’ve graduated school? Well, as most things in life, things don’t always go as planned.

I’m not going to sugar-coat it: post-grad life has been incredibly difficult for me. I want to write this piece for all of my fellow recent grads who may feel the same or struggle with similar issues. I want you to know that you’re not alone.

Post-Grad Life Update

Madeleine

Well hello there! It’s been way, way too long since I last posted anything – I am so sorry for that! For those of you who don’t know, I recently graduated from college and have been transitioning/stumbling into post-grad life for the past month. Life has been too hectic and crazy lately so I haven’t had time to write, but things are finally settling down. The time has come for me to join the rest of the adult world and start my first full-time job. With my new routine in place, I will finally be able to create more content to keep y’all entertained and up-to-date on my life! Continue Reading

What I Wish I Could Tell My Freshman Self

With a little less than four weeks of college left, I’ve been reflecting back on my experience at Washington State University and Chapman University. The emotions I feel can only be described as a roller coaster – heartbreakingly nostalgic one moment, bursting with excitement the next.

College life is going to test you harder than anything you’ve ever experienced. Nothing compares to the social, intellectual, and spiritual challenges you will face. Above all, nothing compares to the growth you will see in yourself and your peers. This is your chance to start fresh, to be the person you always dreamed you would be – create a life you take pride in and love fully.

My experience in college has taught me so many lessons about who I am and what I want in life. It’s honestly impossible to write down everything I’ve learned, but I want to share my favorite pieces of advice that I wish I had known when I was a freshman in college. From silly things like texting that hot guy from work to more serious things like leaning who to trust – I’m sharing all my best nuggets of wisdom. Continue Reading

D.I.Y. Gold Vases

DIY Gold Vases

I’ve been playing around a lot lately with D.I.Y. crafts since I have my very own apartment now. I really wanted something pretty to brighten up my room, so I decided to line my windows with D.I.Y. gold vases of flowers.

However, like most first-time apartment renters, I didn’t have much money to spare, so I had to get creative. Thanks to Value Village, I snagged some cheap vases, bought some gold spray paint and glitter, and got to work! Continue Reading
