An Outfit for Traveling

I pretty much wear the same thing every time I travel. Jeans. A t-shirt. And a sweater. Plus comfortable shoes. 1) It’s super comfortable. 2) It requires no thought. 3) I’m always freezing in airports and on planes. 4) I’m paranoid about spilling things or feeling wrinkly.

I switched things up (ever so slightly!) with these seaside pants! I had been eying them online and decided to go for them to try. Obsessed.
Seaside Pants // Canvas Sneakers // Lemon Scarf // Navy & White T-Shirts // Similar Necklace

Inbox Zero

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…

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…

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….

How I Organize Everything

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…

My Last Spring Break

I’ve had plenty of spring “breaks,” but my last spring break vacation was my junior year of high school.  Because crew is a spring sport, the one week vacation is prime practice time. My junior year, I skipped spring training (big deal at the time, not so big of a deal now…) and went to…

Packing Tips

Oh! I can hardly contain my excitement over this move. I swear I keep repeating “I live here!!!!” over and over and over again in my head. But seriously, it feels like a dream. I’ve really wanted to live in NYC for a while now, but it’s insane that it’s actually happening. The actual move was…

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…
