So I’ve realized that I have a hard time keeping up with the daily blog posts.
To cure this, I’m going to do a few things. One of those things is keep a
schedule of each day posted next to my computer. (Insert picture of schedule
here.) I am sorry for continually starting over and over but I feel like this
time I’ve really got it down. I have been working out all the kinks in my
schedule so that I will have time to such each week. Also, I am going to start
adding new elements to each daily blog post. They will include the song of the
day, a general topic, a quote, some college student advice, a photograph, some
fun facts, and a biblical verse. Hopefully, this regimen will keep me focused.
Message me with any ideas you may have!
Today’s song is Backdrifts by Radiohead.
The daily song is chosen at random thanks to the shuffle button on my iPod. J
This week’s topic is Floor and House plans. While searching the Internet
one day, I came across what I have deemed the perfect floor plans for my
future. There’s room for a studio upstairs that could be my first studio until earn
enough money for a real studio building. There are 4 bedrooms (1 Guest, 1 Master,
and 2 other bedrooms) which are perfect for two or three kids. There’s an
island in the kitchen, walk-in closets in every room bedroom, and a huge living
room with a corner fireplace. It’s pretty much the best floor plan I’ve ever
seen.
I even have a few ideas for the rooms
themselves that I’ll post throughout the week. Thanks to Pinterest, I am able
to build that lovely dream house and even keep it affordable.

There are only five things you
really need in college consistently. Sure, you need your textbooks, a pillow,
and some shampoo, but in general, the essential things that you need are listed
here.
1)
An Alarm Clock (insert image of cool alarm
clock here.) - This lovely little device
will become your best friend and your worst enemy throughout college. Want to
take a nap between lunch and your next class? Set an alarm. Need to wake up for
that intramural game tonight when you take a nap after dinner? Set an alarm.
Going to bed at 3am with an 8am class the next morning? That’s not a smart move
in the first place, but still, set an alarm. That clock will wake you up in
place your mum gently shoving you awake each morning or shouting your name up
the stairs. It will become your mom. Either buy an alarm clock and make sure it
works for you, or have your mum call you every time you need to wake up. Your
choice really.
2)
Headphones (insert image of cool headphones
here.) – I’m not talking about those cheap $5 ones that you can get at Wal*mart
either. Alliteration aside, these bad boys better be reliable. When do you use
them you ask? On your computer, in the library, Skyping, walking to class, in
class, in bed, watching movies, while texting, while eating, while sleeping!
You can and probably will use them all over the place and even if you’re not a
huge music listener, you still should invest in a good pair of headphones
because when that one time comes where you’ll need them, those $5 headphones
won’t do you justice, or they’ll be broken. Also, if you have an evil
roommate(s), headphones are just the thing to prove that you do not want to
listen to them.
3)
Ducktape (insert image of ducktape here) –
It’s not a secret that ducktape is a college kid’s choice of weapon, but in all
honesty, it is the best and most inexpensive solution to all issues. If 42
wasn’t the answer to life, the universe and everything else, I’m almost
positive Adam Douglas would agree that ducktape would be the answer. It fixes
broken things, holds things onto the wall, sticks things together, helps in
pranks, closes boxes, makes gifts, and so many more things. Once, I heard that
this guy couldn’t find a razor before his date, so he used ducktape to his best
ability to shave, so I guess it can even shave. I don’t know if it worked, but
you could always try that I suppose.
4)
Post-it notes (insert image of post-it notes
here) – These little buddies will help you with EVERYTHING. They’re just as
good as ducktape almost. Bookmarkers, flashcards, calendars, reminders, address
books, flip books, thank you cards, birthday cards, get-well cards, signs,
last-second thought pads, lists, origami paper, wallpaper, and I’m sure they’re
used in other ways as well but that’s what I’ve used them as so far.
5)
String (Insert image of string here) – Yes,
string. You cannot comprehend how many times I’ve needed string for something
either essential or dumb. I’ve used it to hang things, tie things together, as
replacement shoelaces, pull pranks on floor mates, decorate for the holidays,
tie knots when I’m bored, exercise, hold my hair back, remind me of something,
hold my curtains back, and even as a belt one time. It is ridiculous how much
you would need string, even though I just listed the times I can vividly
remember, I know I’ve used it a lot.
So now that you know, go out and buy
this stuff before you start college rather than get to the point where you
would desperately need it. While you’re at it, buy some bubbles and a bouncy
ball because every college kid needs to enjoy their time as a college kid. :P

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us
timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed
of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in
suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.”- 1 Timothy 1:7-8 NIV
