productive things to do during quarantine

4 / 9 / 20

Is anyone else getting super bored after being stuck at home for so long? I think it’s now week 3 (or is it 4?) of quarantine and staying inside, and I’m definitely starting to lose motivation. To be honest, I didn’t mind it too much at first, and it was nice to have an extra week of spring break. But now that online classes have started up and I’ve gotten into more of a routine, I’ve just been feeling kind of uninspired and lazy. I’m the kind of person who always likes to be doing something and crossing tasks off my to do list, so I hate just laying around the house and not feeling like I’m making any progress with my goals. Today’s post is a big list of things to do while stuck at home, and I’m honestly excited to have this to look back on and check things off whenever I get bored!

Spring 2020 Morning Routine

4 / 3 / 204 / 3 / 20

Let’s just start off by saying this is definitely my ideal morning routine, but I definitely don’t stick with it every day. However, it’s always motivating for me to write out my morning routine and get inspired to follow my “dream morning routine” if you will. Since everyone is at home right now and colleges have closed because of the corona virus, my classes are now all online and I’ve had to make a new schedule for myself. It’s definitely harder to stay productive when I’m not required to go to certain classes at certain times, and I’m often tempted to spend the day on Netflix or chilling at home. But let me tell you- online classes are NOT easy. I thought it would be a lot easier than regular classes, but it’s actually a lot more work than I thought it would be. Keeping a consistent morning routine is key for me to start the day with a productive mindset and get everything done!

February Recap + Favorites

3 / 3 / 204 / 9 / 20

Happy March! Whenever I think of March, I think of spring, and I can’t wait for sunny weather and blooming flowers everywhere. February in one word- RAIN. It rained so much all month. There were a few super cold days, but most were in the fifties with cloudy skies and pouring rain every single week. I’m so ready for sunshine and warm weather and growing plants that comes with spring! February actually went by pretty quickly, but it was also a jam-packed month for me. I feel like I’m finally getting into my routine with my new college schedule and how I spend my days depending on how much free time I have. Last semester I got so overwhelmed with my schedule and priorities and extracurriculars and it’s nice to have a sense of time management and control over it all, haha. I don’t have too much going on in March, but spring break is less than a week away, and we are going to the beach for a few days, so that’s definitely something fun to look forward to!

Recent Eats Vol. 1

2 / 28 / 20

Hello everyone, and happy Friday! It’s been a very long, very busy week, but I’m so glad it’s the weekend. With spring break coming up (7 more days!), all my classes are having tests and midterm exams, so things have been super busy. I had five exams this week, and three were all back to back on Wednesday! This weekend is going to be filled with some much needed relaxation though, so I’m pumped. I’m going to my grandmother’s house tonight to chill and maybe watch a movie, and then tomorrow my family is actually coming to Tupelo for my brother’s soccer game, so I’ll get to see them too! I’m trying to finish all my weekend homework early so I can just chill all weekend. Anyway, today’s post is going to be a photo wrap-up of all the good food I’ve been eating recently! To be honest, I haven’t been eating very many unique or fun recipes unless it’s at a restaurant or at home where I have more space and ingredients to cook. I kind of just fall into a rut of eating the same foods and salad to go boxes from the dining hall whenever I’m at school. I can’t wait for next year when I’ll be living in an apartment and have space to cook as much as I want!

24 Hours in Nashville!

2 / 21 / 202 / 24 / 20

If you know me, you know my all time favorite band is the Lumineers. I can’t really remember the first time I heard them, just because I’ve grown up listening to them after my dad introduced me to their first album, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I love a wide range of music, from pop to Christian to folk, but Lumineers is something I could listen to anytime, anywhere, and not get bored. So when my parents told my sister and I we were going to Nashville for a Lumineers concert, I was so excited! I got out of class early on Wednesday and I don’t have any class at all Thursday, so the dates lined up perfectly and it was such a fun trip! I thought I’d do a little Nashville recap and share some of the things we did!

Amazon Legging Wishlist + Recent Workouts

2 / 10 / 204 / 9 / 20

Recently I’ve been on such a big amazon kick. I got the Prime Student free trial a few months ago and I didn’t realize what I was missing until now! It’s so nice to be able to order any random school supplies or gifts or snacks from amazon and have them in my campus PO box just a few days later. My free trial is almost over and I don’t know what I’m going to do when it’s over, honestly. I’m kind of considering if it’s worth it to get my own subscription. I have so many other random amazon favorites that I want to share in later posts, but today I’m sharing all the workout leggings I’ve been eyeing recently! I feel like I’ve been living in leggings the past couple of months for cold college days, and I only have a couple of pairs that I cycle through each week. I really like the pocket style of leggings, and I also want to try some in fun prints!

February Goals

2 / 6 / 202 / 6 / 20

I don’t know why, but I always feel like February is just a “filler month” for me, if that makes any sense. January is always a big goal month and a fresh start to the year, and March is the start of warm weather and spring break, but I never really look forward to February. I have a few fun things planned for the month, and school is starting to pick up again in busyness, but other than that it’s going to be pretty chill. I’m really trying to continue my motivation and goals from January into this month and stay inspired this month.

January Recap

2 / 4 / 20

Happy February! I would usually say I can’t believe how fast the last month went by, but that is definitely not the case for January. Did anyone else feel like January dragged on forever? Not that it was a bad month for me, but I felt like January was three months in one, haha. It was actually a really good month though, with lots of new opportunities, new goals, and new experiences. I have so much to catch up on- my goals recap, a little recap of everything I did, and my monthly favorites!

I Started A Podcast!

1 / 23 / 201 / 22 / 20

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually did it- I started a podcast! I’ve been listening to podcasts for around two years now, and it’s always been an idea in the back of my mind that it would be cool to have one of my own. I always told myself there was no way I could actually go through with it: it would be too hard to keep up with, I don’t have the equipment, I hate my voice on tape, the excuses went on and on. But thank you, Dad, for motivating me to just go for it, because I’m so glad I did! I’m so excited to announce that my podcasts, Seasons Podcast, is up on spotify and apple podcasts now!

Bullet Journal Ideas

1 / 10 / 201 / 8 / 20

For a while now, I’ve really been interested in starting a bullet journal. I love looking at the organized spreads of bullet journal layouts and getting inspo from instagram and pinterest for different page ideas. I have a planner that I use every day for my to do lists and homework, so I wouldn’t necessarily use my bullet journal for that. It would be more like an art/creativity journal: goals, doodles, quotes, habit tracker, things like that. Be warned for the photo overload, but today I’m sharing lots of inspo and ideas that I’m thinking about implementing into my own bullet journal when I start it!

Winter Break Recap

1 / 8 / 20

As I type this, I’m back in Starkville, posted up at my usual coffee shop, at a booth by the window. I’m definitely sad to be back at school, but I had such an amazing three weeks at home for winter break and I wanted to share a little recap! Winter break kind of felt like it was split into two parts: the craziness leading up to Christmas, and then the calm, lazy days after Christmas ended. I honestly can’t decide which half was my favorite! I loved the holiday spirit, buying presents and baking with all the Christmas festivities, but it was so nice to have almost two weeks to chill and enjoy the time at home.

2020 Goals and Resolutions

1 / 3 / 201 / 1 / 20

Happy New Year! I know it can be overhyped and cheesy sometimes, but I seriously love the feeling of a new year and a new beginning. A fresh start always makes me feel so motivated and inspired. I want to do a full 2019 recap post soon, but it was overall a pretty good year for me. It was definitely one of the most eventful years of my life, so much happened in such a short amount of time. I didn’t accomplish all my goals from 2019, but I definitely grew as a person and had so many new experiences. This year, I really want to focus on my goals throughout the entire year, not just the beginning of the semester. I’m going to print out my goals and paste them around so I’ll have a constant reminder of what I’m working towards. I really hope I can look back at the end of 2020 and be proud of what I’ve accomplished and who I’ve become.

2020 Reading List

1 / 1 / 20

How is it already the end of 2019? The saying about how time goes by quicker once you’re older is definitely true. This was probably the fastest year of my life, time just flew by. I can clearly remember myself this time last year, prepping for 2019 and writing out my goals. Now not only is it about to be a new year, it’s about to be a whole new decade! I’m so excited for 2020. I’m going to be sharing my list of goals/resolutions in a later post, but today I wanted to share my reading list for the year. I just love reading. So much. I never really made time to read during school but while I’ve been home on break I’ve already read 3 books (and counting!). I say it every year, but I’m really going to try to read more this year, and there are so many good books out there that I want to start!

Winter Break Bucket List

12 / 17 / 1912 / 17 / 19

I’m out for winter break! I’ve been out for about a week now, I finished my last exam last Wednesday morning at around 9:15. I can’t even explain how happy I am to be done with first semester. It’s so so so good to be home! I’ve been relaxing, shopping around Oxford, working at my job on the Square, and spending lots of time with family. While I’ve had lots of time to chill and sleep in, I also have lots of stuff I want to get done during the break. I want to stay productive and not just lay around all day. Before I left for break I made a list of things I want to do while I’m home. Some of these I’ve already checked off the list, but the rest are still to be completed!
