New Goal: Read More

-
While home for winter break, I became aware that I had lost complete touch with reading. Reading for myself outside of class, that is. At a business event, professionals with v e r y successful careers really emphasized a few books to help kickstart my career. It finally clicked that I need to prioritize books.

Transitioning back to college, I rediscovered my kindle. I am currently reading One Day in December by Josie Silver. Almost half way in! Can't say I recommend it until I finish it though...

In short, this year I want to read a lot more. One week at school later, I have already spent a few hours reading quietly. Definitely a hard thing to get used to when being so social at college!

I plan to update this post with my progress and check in regularly, hopefully to grow a long list of books read. 

Let me know what you're currently reading!

5 Things To KNOW Before College

-
1. You're going to overpack. And that's okay! Keep a note (Notes app on phone is great) during your first semester of what you didn't need to bring and what you could've brought. When you next go home for a break or in between semesters, bring home what you didn't need.  It's really important to keep your room decluttered of things you are never going to need since the dorms can be so tight! 2. Registration is never fun nor easy. Be prepared to bring your A-game when selecting your classes. Varies by school but these are the rules I stick by:  For example, if registration days are broken up by graduation year, don't start planning classes until the class before you is done. I have made the mistake of making multiple class plans way too early and then all of those classes were filled by upperclassmen. Save yourself the stress of having to do the process twice! With that being said, leave plenty of time to actually plan. Deciding on clas

Greenport Long Island

-
Sharing the highlights of my recent trip out to Greenport/Orient Point on the North Fork of LI! The Town of Greenport was charming and had lots to offer.  You will find plenty of free public parking to walk around and explore the shops, restaurants, and waterfront looking toward Shelter Island! From researching the day before, I knew that the restaurants were all at a heavy price point. The  Sterlington Deli  is a very well rated local fav that we picked up sandwiches and lemonades at for $25! We ate at the shaded picnic tables next to  the Carousel ! The 67 Steps Beach is a bit of a "secret"! Parking is limited to town residents - and don't risk it. When we got there a cop was putting tickets on cars. If you are with people and just want to snap some pictures of the beach one person could just stay in the car/drive around. If you are looking for more time here, the closest public parking is really in town which is a 30 minute walk.  We revolved our day around the  Lavend
