The Ultimate Guide to Being Money Smart In College

The Ultimate Guide to Being Money Smart In College // eyeliner wings & pretty things

Okay, here’s a riddle for you: What’s valuable and great to have but hard to keep? If you guessed me, you’re correct. Kidding (sort of), I’m talking about paper, moolah, funds…I totally Googled “slang terms for money” and one of them that came up was “dead presidents” which seems a little dark. Does anyone actually use that term? “Yo, man, I made so many dead presidents from working overtime!”

I’m done trying to be cool now. This post is all about being money smart in college. It’s really easy to be careless in college when it comes to things like doing laundry, eating properly or skipping class but none of those things are quite as serious as learning to be smart with your money!

12 Signs You Should Quit

12 Signs You Should Quit // ew & pt
When I was younger I used to quit everything. I quit dance, gymnastics and the works. Now that I’ve gotten older I find myself sticking to things I know I shouldn’t and finding it so difficult to quit things even when I know they’re causing me more stress than they are benefits. Sometimes it’s okay to be a little bit selfish and it’s okay to quit.

Again, major disclaimer, don’t use a blog post as a sole factor in making any major life decisions. Use this as something to bounce your thoughts around. Consider some of the signs you should quit something but also take into account personal factors that I couldn’t possibly consider for you.

Last Minute Things To Pack For College // eyeliner wings & pretty things

There are so many things you need to pack for college so it’s easy to forget about some of the last-minute sort ofitems. These items aren’t necessarily essentials, but they’re great to have. I use the term “essential” kind of loosely, which, if you’ve been reading my blog for a while you can probably tell. I think a lot of things are essential because I feel as though I need a lot of things, you see.

A few of these items on the list came in my  “Campus Shevival” BabbleBoxx package. Isn’t that a fun play on words? I’m a sucker for cute titles. Hopefully these last minute things to pack for college will help you find a little bit of inspiration and ideas for what to purchase when you’re preparing to head to college!
