The Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Kitchen in College - What You Need For A Kitchen in College // ew & pt

Though this area of college housing is often overlooked, it’s one of the most important ones. Sophomore year my dorm kitchen was the hot spot for all of my best studying and productive moments. Junior year the dorm kitchen was always full of life and it was the hotspot for socializing. Plus, sometimes we even cooked in there. I also may or may not have set some food on fire in there but that’s beside the point.

The perfect dorm kitchen can be achieved when you know the right items and the right systems to bring to the table.

How to Survive Living With Multiple Roommates

August 7, 2017 12:00 PM , Paige

Throughout college, I’ve gone from one roommate to multiple roommates. By multiple, I’m talking 6-8 of us in one house. After freshman year, most of the housing situations are living with a house full of people. It’s super intimidating. Plus, I went in with only one or two friends, meaning I lived with a handful of random girls. That sounds even scarier, but I ended up making a lot of friends!Although living with that many girls seems like a nightmare, it was an overall good experience. There were always ups and downs and major pet peeves, but I’m going to impart some real wisdom for living with a lot of housemates.

Whether you’re living with friends or not, I promise you’ll want to punch everyone in the house at some point. Confined spaces and a bunch of girls who are all stressed about college can be dangerous. I also promise that other nights you’ll be on cloud nine. There were always ups and downs and major pet peeves, but I’m going to impart some real wisdom and some handy tips for living with a lot of housemates.

How to Form Relationships with Professors

July 31, 2017 2:00 PM , Paige

I know! I was skeptical, too. I went into college thinking going to get coffee with professors and talking to them about non-academic things was a load of B.S. Honestly, I assume a lot of college-related tips and insights are sort of B.S. But, as a senior, I can promise you that it is possible to form relationships with professors that go beyond sitting in their class.

There are some professors whose office hours I visit to chat and others who I tell about my blog and it’s lovely. Plus, it’s important to form relationships with professors. It can help you learn industry insights, make networking connections for internships and jobs, have a great reference during your career hunt or grad school application process and they can even be a great source of advice. Plus, when you make strong connections with professors they become a wonderful resource.

To clarify, by “relationships with professors” I am not talking about some PLL Aria and Ezra, student and teacher kind of business. Don’t do that. I digress. Here’s how to make some strong, genuine (non-morally ambiguous) connections with your college professors.

How to Choose The Perfect Backpack for College ( & What's in Mine)

From the time we’re in elementary school up until basically forever, backpacks are essential. My backpack holds my books and laptop one day for class and a change of clothes and my makeup bag for a weekend getaway the next. When you’re buying something that you’ll use every day for as long as possible (until it invariably rips), you want something good. Having owned plenty of backpacks (and some *shudder* messenger bags) in my time, I’ve finally figured out the formula for finding the perfect backpack for college.

While shopping for all of your college essentials don’t forget to shop for the crown jewel of it all — your backpack. Here’s exactly how to choose the perfect backpack and a peek inside of mine.
