The ULTIMATE guide to passing your finals.

The ULTIMATE guide to passing your finals.

As much as I’d like to ignore the fact that this coming week marks the beginning of finals, it’s sort of a big (stressful) deal. If you follow me on Twitter you might already know that this semester has definitely gotten me down, but with the help of some amazing guides my blogger buds have written, I’ve been managing to keep my head above water when it comes to juggling my work load and making decent grades. Last year I made a huge college study guide and it did really well, so I thought I would come out with a 2.0…

How to set yourself up for a successful semester.

How to set yourself up for a successful semester.

Thank you to Office Depot Inc. and Her Campus Media for partnering on this post! My first week of classes is officially over and I’m feeling good! The class I thought I would hate is actually super interesting, and there are a few classes that I’m actually looking forward to attending. I’m sure we all have a similar goal of having a super successful semester (if not, make it one of your goals!) and I thought it might be beneficial if I shared with you how I plan on making this my best semester yet! Get organized! So this is going to be…

With finals being a universal battle all college students must face, I thought that I would offer you some of my favorite tips on how to make studying for finals…

The Collegiates Guide to Retaining Class Information.

There is this strange part of me that I tend to keep repressed that actually enjoys studying. Making note sheets, quizzing myself with flashcards, and begging my boyfriend to quiz me just brings me some sense of strange joy. Like I said, this Morgan is usually quite repressed, hiding behind the me that binge watches YouTube videos and looks up Amy Poehler gifs instead of doing what I should be. But when my productive side comes out, it’s in full force. So while I’m not always the best at studying, I do know what works. My lovely friend Christal at Simply Zaspy and I…

The Collegiates Guide to Passing an Online Class.

The Collegiates Guide to Passing an Online Class.

If you’re used to the typical schedule of waking up, going to class, physically turning in assignments, and being reminded of deadlines every class period, then the idea of taking an online class may be terrifying for you. Trust me when I say that online classes really aren’t as bad as everyone makes them out to be, so long as you go in with a plan and motivation. They definitely require a lot more responsibility than the traditional college class, but I truly think taking one or two is completely worth it. With that said, with the good comes the…
