nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm
Finals. They are around the corner. They are LURKING. They are merely a week away. They are NOT a definition of your self worth. They are NOT worth seriously compromising your health. They are NOT going to ruin your month if you don't let them. Now is the time I like to practice some zen [...]
I am a college fanatic. I am also somehow a senior, and it feels like I am asked amidst every day if I have some general advice. To be honest, I could talk all day, but I do have some tips that I didn't really hear as a freshman. All of these things have been [...]
I took this picture with my GoPro at the end of August off the island of Langkawi on a scuba diving trip. I think it describes the first 1/3 of my senior year perfectly. It may make no sense- but I'd like to look back on this someday, so I'll share anyways. First of all, [...]
Hope that title grabbed you. I just have some tips for pretty notes, no life lessons today! I get a lot of compliments on my notes in class. After 14+ years of school I've figured out a couple things that work really well for me. Have a pen, highlighter, and one pen of a different [...]

Summer is ending and so is another internship season. I won't elaborate on all that I have personally and professionally learned (that's for another time), but I would like to share how I have adapted to the environments of the two internships I have now participated in during my college career. If you are looking [...]
I have to preface this post saying I am not, nor do I pretend to be, a STEM-superhero-guru type that has privileged knowledge or is trained in job searching. I am, however, a little craftier than the average bear because my GPA is not very competitive, and the baseline tips they give college students isn't [...]
Call it genetics, luck, or a divine gift, I, Paige Hoel, am now and always have been a morning person. I am also 21 and in a sorority, two demographics that are majority morning opposed unless brunch is involved. I get asked maybe 5 times a week how I am able to be a morning [...]
Every quarter i find myself saying "this is the busiest quarter I have ever had" Is this quarter an exception? No. This is the busiest quarter I have ever had. My free time is limited and very cherished. Once I am free, its easy to stress and think "oh my god this is my only [...]
Do you like the outdoors? Do you like great conversations? Are you pro hot dog? GO CAMPING This weekend I had the pleasure of sharing a camping trip with the two best pals a girl could have. We ate lots of hot dogs, hiked, admired mama oash, petted lots of dogs, and let go of [...]
