How to Make Time for Socializing in College - Social & Making Friends in College // ew & pt

This past week has been super busy, and yet I’ve been as social as ever. Socializing in college stresses me out and makes my calendar extra overwhelming…but, it also makes me extra happy. I love being able to see friends and spend time with people while I still have the chance. (I’m not dying…just graduating….both are kind of similar)

The older you get, the more you need to legitimately make time for people and make actual plans. There is less casually bumping into friends or making plans five minutes before they happen. While that’s kind of stressful, it can be pretty nice to know how your social calendar is shaping up for the next two weeks. Here are some ways to make time and make plans for socializing in college.

10 Ways to Remain Calm in College - Keeping Your Cool in College // eyeliner wings & pretty things

Have you ever just started crying in the dining hall? Or, thrown your textbook at the wall? Or, laid on your carpet and screamed at the ceiling? All of the above? Me too. It’s really hard to remain calm in college when it feels like you’re being pushed in a million directions and concurrently trying to figure out your life.

It’s really difficult to balance all of the parts of life. It’s something I’ve written about in the past. I’m constantly juggling work, a social life, college and a blog. I am not a very calm person, but sometimes I get into really good places where I can totally keep my cool.

And when I’m able to remain calm in college, I take note of what helped me to feel that way. And then I use those notes to make a blog post…and to reference them in the future when I’m drowning in deadlines and obligations. On weeks like this, when I have four interviews, six assignment deadlines and my best friend’s birthday weekend happening, this post is extra necessary and useful.

Mistakes Everyone Makes in College (& How to Recover) - College Mistakes to Avoid // ew & pt

Life is just a series of mistakes. Is that too dark? Everybody makes mistakes in college. Everybody has those days. And most things can be turned into a pseudo-Hannah Montana song, apparently. As I near the end of my college career, I’ve begun reflecting on mistakes I’ve watched other people make and, let’s be real here, mistakes I’ve made myself. Though I firmly believe we can always learn from mistakes, sometimes recovering from them can be tough.

I mean, I tried to help you avoid some mistakes. I wrote on a post on 10 Mistakes Freshmen Make & How to Avoid Them. But, maybe you didn’t read that in time. Or, maybe you just made a mistake. Maybe blogs are not infallible (they’re definitely not). It happens to the best of us. Here are some more mistakes everyone makes in college and how to recover from them.

College Spring Cleaning Routine + Free Cleaning Chart Printable // eyeliner wings & pretty things
College is all about independence and becoming an adult and self-discovery but…it’s also a lot of related tasks that aren’t nearly as inspiring or glamorous. One of them is budgeting. Another one is cleaning. Oftentimes, these overlap.

I know, I know. Finances and cleaning sound absolutely awful, but there are few things more satisfying than getting a good deal on something and entering a very clean home. Here’s plenty of tips, tricks and product suggestions for crafting the perfect college cleaning routine for spring.
