What A Wild Few Weeks! Moving, school slowing down, new job training, and coming home for Thanksgiving! - Life, Travel, Jesus.

      Howdy, everyone! Recently life has been hectic. Day in and day out has been filled with schoolwork, changing dorms, holding a job, onboarding a new job, and having self-care. I am glad this upcoming week is Thanksgiving week. Now I can rest, and enjoy what I enjoy doing most.

      About two weeks ago, my dorm started having some issues. My hall (where several dorms are) is one of the older buildings. Since it's an older building, it has some of the original features, like a payphone. Seeing the different features in my hall are super neat, and make me think about how people lived before my time. Living in an older building not only came with historical features, but came with some other issues. There are bug issues, the air conditioning does not work as well as the newer budlings, and other issues that come with an older building. A little over a week ago, there had been some bug issues. The issue became so prevalent that I had to move to an upstairs dorm. Moving had to be done the day maintenance would come in and solve the problem. Although moving upstairs was a lot of work, I am super thankful that I was able to move before the situation could be resolved. Another thing I am grateful for is my friends helping me move upstairs. I am praying this issue gets fixed in a few weeks so I can move back down with my suitemate.

     Since the dorm situation, my school load has been slowly declining (praise God). The week of the changing rooms I had a load of schoolwork, which included assignments and an exam. Last week, I had little to no schoolwork on my plate. The only assignments I have are projects I can work on from home, or assignments similar to what I have completed in other classes (like Lesson Plans). Since being home, I was able to attend training for a new job, finalizing lesson plans, relax, read more, and write for my blog. Having time to rest has been a good way for me to unwind before finals week. During this time, God has provided more time for me to relax more about school, focus on reading God more, and focus on what I need to do for the upcoming weeks.

       Despite all that has happened over the last few weeks, I am joyful that God has been bringing me through it, and I cannot wait to see what the upcoming weeks have in store for me. I am ready to relax and refresh my mind for the upcoming weeks with finals, projects, and assignments. Thank you for reading my blog, I hope y'all enjoyed! Hangloose, and God bless!

Easy Ways to Stay Organized - Life, Travel, and Jesus

            Do you find it hard to stay organized? Do you want to be better organized? Well, I'm here to help you. I have been organizing for years. Going to college also opened my eyes to more ways to be and stay organized. Over the past few years, I have learned so much about organizing, and I am here to share the information with you. Here are my organization tips and how you can stay organized too. Folders/Binders           Having folders or binders is perfect for helping you stay organized. Wheatear it is for school, work, or tax information, these will help you keep track of what you have. With folders and binders, you can buy a label maker and label everything clearly. You can also do this online online as well (Amazon Lists and Google Drive). In school, I use different folders for each class as needed. I also have one separate folder for paper homework. Agenda/Planner           An agenda is perfect to buy if you want to organize your day-to-day activities. Having an agenda

Lake and Beach Fun! Vacation 2023 - Haley Owens

          Howdy, everyone! I am super excited to share my vacation blog with everyone. Vacation was so much fun for my family and I. We drove to South Carolina and North Carolina to visit the beach and lake with extended family. Overall, I enjoyed my experience on vacation.           Vacation first started out in South Carolina. My immediate and extended family stayed at a lake house with a boat. Most days looked like riding in the boat and going for a swim. One  thing my sister, dad, and I did was take a walk through a forest park in the area.          The next destination my family went to is Wilmington, North Carolina. Here, we went to a beach town. Most of our days looked like renting a boat, swimming, surfing, or riding bikes. During our time there, we found a small café named Sunday's Café. Their chai tea was the best.          Overall, I enjoyed vacation. Going to North and South Carolina and spending time with family was great. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Amazon Necessities - College Edition

          Howdy everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today, I am going to talk about Amazon finds for college students. I will show everyone the low down on college essentials I love on Amazon. If you plan on shopping online, you are in the right place. I am contemplating creating an Amazon influencer account so you can shop there instead of going back and forth to my blog and Amazon looking at college products. I can also do this for my monthly favorites. If you would like me to do this, let me know. Let's get into my favorite Amazon finds.      1. Surge protector. A surge protector is perfect for students with multiple plugs (lamp, phone, laptop, coffee maker, and more). Not only that, but the surge protector will protect your electronics from damage during power outages.      2. Storage ottomans. In case you have a high-rise bed, invest in some storage ottomans. Not only can these be used for storage, but since what you are buying is an ottoman (or ottomans) this is also a great place
