Dear Incoming Freshmen: High School Edition ♡

Dear Incoming Freshmen,

You are all entering what seems like a scary time in your life.  You will be passing through unfamiliar hallways with unfamiliar faces, trying to find your place and keep on top of your work.  You will be questioning a lot in your life, and you might even feel stressed out with it coming up so soon.

16 Shows to Binge Before the End of 2016 ♡

Humans generally don’t have enough time to relax, and when they finally do have a spare moment, most of them are far too tired to step outside their homes.  Perhaps this explains the undying love for Netflix.

The only question is…  What do you watch next?  Well, waste no more time searching the depths of the site for a show that might interest you.  Take a few moments to scroll through this list of sixteen must-watch shows (that are all completely binge-worthy)!

“Sewing is, Like, So 18th Century”: The Counterargument ♡

I don’t mean to start off by scolding you like your grandmother or mother would, but sewing is an essential skill that is quickly dying off with the new generations.  Girls (and boys) should have a basic understanding of how to sew something – by hand and/or by machine.

Instagram on Point

Now before I begin, I am in no way trying to say that I am by any means some sort of professional photographer, nor that I have a million likes on my Instagram photos.  This is just to help give you some tips that I’ve picked up through my still-progressing editing skills that I thought might be helpful to you. 

Seeing the Theatre From Both Sides

Imagine a dancer switching her ballet and tap shoes for a soccer ball, and vice versa.  Do you think that a plié across the soccer field could win the game?  Could a soccer kick make a dance routine far more graceful?  Perhaps that a little too drastic, but what if an actor decided to start working back stage?  That’s exactly what I chose to do, and I couldn’t have been more excited for the opportunity.

Our Personal ‘Trainor’ is All We Need

Meghan Trainor isn’t a foreign name anymore. She became a household name with her hit song “All About That Bass”, which proved existential for females across the nation.  With a foot stepped in the direction of feminism and music blaring through your speakers with such a peppy beat is certain to make any female feel strong and independent.  Trainor reminds us with her first single that “every inch of you is perfect, from the bottom to the top.”

7 Ways to Make Your Morning Brighter

Do you ever find yourself struggling to get out of bed in the morning?  Maybe you’re too tired or it’s just too cold and all you want to do is curl up in bed, falling right back asleep?  Or perhaps you are stressed about some project, meeting, or assignment that you have today?  Well, you can’t hide from that thing forever, so you mind as well deal with it as soon as possible, and don’t have to risk stressing over for days before the chance comes to make up that meeting.

Little Mix: Revolutionizing Feminism

The new craze is feminism and girl power.  Is it being over-commercialized?  There was a time- not too long ago- when people referred to feminism as “the f word”, but now “feminism” is clearly printed all over headlines in the media.  Honestly, who cares whether it’s becoming over-commercialized, as some have been saying.  The fact that females are finally taking a stand and turning “girl power” into headlines all over magazines, blogs, and websites is revolutionary, and we should be proud.

Finally A Doll That Girls Can Aspire to be Just Like

The media impacts people in every single form that it can possibly think of, including the dolls that young girls (and boys) play with.  In 1959, Ruth Handler introduced to the world the first Barbie doll.  Since then, the Barbie doll has evolved so much with its look, and has been brought through the doors of kid’s bedrooms, including mine.  Personally, I must have had about a hundred Barbie dolls between my sister and I, and while I was playing with those dolls, it never once crossed my mind how those dolls were effecting me or my sister.
