I take email very seriously. It’s definitely the most influential form of communication right now and I think it’s something that should be managed in a professional way. But it’s overwhelming. Unlike phones (calls, text messages, etc.), everyone can get in contact with you. Getting an email address is super easy if you know particular cadences…

Adulting Gifts
I know this seems like such a boring gift guide… but I know a lot of you are in the same boat that I am. My sister, who turns 27 (how?!?!) next month, and I were just talking about how we’re officially old because our idea of perfect gifts are useful things like vacuum cleaners….
Organize, Please… GMAIL
I am a gmail addict and have a huge system worked out. I have a few email accounts. An AOL one (I know, so 1990s) that I use for pretty much everything, my Georgetown address, and a few gmail accounts. (Speaking of email addresses, you can reach me at carly [at] thecollegeprepster [dot] com) Before I…

So much of what I do on a daily basis happens online. Because of this, I’ve perfected a bunch of systems to keep me incredibly organized. As a self-employed person, I find it so so so important to be as organized as possible. There is often no one else to pick up the slack or…

College Prepster Book Club
The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth by Alexandra Robbins (Robbins is also the author of The Overachievers.) This book really spoke to me. Not a day goes by where I think to myself, “I’m really weird.” Like, I know that I am very very very strange. I don’t think like a lot of people, I…
Giveaway :: Jack Rogers
Okay, so I know that I shouldn’t play favorites… but, I mean, it’s really hard not to when the giveaway is with Jack Rogers! The brand is a serious favorite of mine (I begged my mom to let me get a pair when I was in high school) and I absolutely love working with the entire…
Things I’ve Learned About Myself
I’ve mentioned on here before that I’ve been working to rewrite the stories I have written about myself in my head. I’m a firm believer that (generally speaking) what you think/believe becomes your reality. Obviously, there are exceptions to that, but if you think you’re going to have a bad day, it’s going to be a…
