nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm
The snow is thawing and spring break is approaching. If you are a high schooler, this change of season very well might be a sign that college visits are coming. This is advice for your visit, and not the actual college choice. If you need help making your final decision, have no fear, check out [...]
The day I turned 21 I started the first page in my blue journal. The journal was leather, with a beautiful embossed print on the front and a strap that wrapped around. I received it that year for Christmas, and it was the most beautiful journal I had ever had. Today, days after my 23rd [...]
FRIENDS made my 2017. I think it is foolish to try and boil a year down into one theme or emotion, but if I had to choose what singularly made my year what it was, it was my fantastic compilation of friends. From the beginning of 2017 to the end, none of it would have [...]

Exciting news! For all of my friends new to planning, I have assembled some of my basic and useful products into one easy to use kit! (in both letter and a5 sizes!!) I designed the pages in this kit to be simple but still have lots of utility. I currently have some friends trying it [...]
"This is the quarter" You might say, "This will be the one. 4.0 here I come!" or you might be along the lines of, "I'm going to get all my work done before the weekends. I'm going to have a lot of great time for adventures and tanning." or you might be somewhere in between. [...]
Hello! After a short blog hiatus I am back with a personal Paige Post. Today was so beautiful I could not resist taking some pictures and taking some time to write about how grateful I am to be here at UCSB. I heard an interesting quote yesterday about choosing colleges. It went along the lines [...]
