This pin was flying all over Pinterest at one point.

My parents and sisters are living in a two-bedroom apartment until they can find a house. So you can only imagine how crammed we are with such limited space. All three of us are sharing one room. Now try imagining the state of my sisters; dresser. Yeah, it's that bad. So you see, I had to tackle this project as a sort of gift to alleviate the congestion on the dresser top.
Hallelujah, it's summer. Time to sleep in til 2 in the afternoon, spend all day lounging by the pool or the gulf, catch up on your favorite TV shows, and all that junk. That is if you're not taking summer classes or working or something :)
But having all this time to do nothing (or look for things to do) often gets me to reflecting on the past, and more specifically, this past year. As y'all know, I've just finished my freshman year of college. I know that I spent the entirety of my senior year of high school mentally preparing for the huge transition from having home-cooked meals, everything I need at my disposal, etc., to being away from those I love, making new friends, adjusting to larger classes and a larger student body in general, and all that cliche stuff. But to my surprise, there were things I learned that I really wish were emphasized in high school so that I could have been better prepared.
So I'm going to keep a list of stuff that I wish I had done/been prepared for during my first year of college. What I'm about to list isn't necessarily on there because I made that mistake. These are just some observations that I made at my university, and everyone will obviously have a different experience. Hopefully, incoming college freshmen can put this to good use :)

DIY bow/hair clip board
10:39 PM
So almost nine months ago, I repinned this onto my DIY To-Do List board on Pinterest.

I knew that was something I really needed to do for Katisha, so I went to Goodwill and got me a huge picture for around $3. I picked up all the supplies I needed, but I never got around to actually making the board. When I moved back in with my parents, I suddenly remembered how badly they needed this board. I mean, it's 5 of us living in a 2-bedroom apartment. Katisha's bows and hairclips were being kept in a giant basket that took up most of the bathroom sink. So I picked up the rest of what I needed and got started :)
