DIY Workout Calendar

This summer I decided to get serious about working out. I worked out twice a week while at college, but this summer I had all of this extra time when I wasn’t working, so I figured what is a better thing to fill it with than working out?

In order to keep track of my progress, get motivation, and stay organized of when my best friend and I were meeting to workout, I created this workout calendar. It has worked so perfectly, and I will definitely be bringing it to college. This has helped me not only stay on track, but get inspired when I felt anything but motivated.

How I Organize My College Closet

I have a lot of clothes, which is typical for pretty much any girl. So one of my major concerns when I got to college is how do I fit everything in my tiny college closet? Through trial and error, I have come up with some methods that really work for me. Hopefully this gives you some ideas for your college closet or if you have a small closet of how to fit everything and still be organized.

Thin, Matching Hangers

This is something I saw everywhere. People were all saying that when you have thin hangers, you can fit more in your closet, and when they all match, you closet seems less cluttered and more organized. I found this to be true. I got velvet-y, thin, teal hangers. The velvet helps keep shirts that would normally slip off the hanger in their places, and I like how the teal matches my colors. I would definitely suggest doing this. I got mine from TJMaxx for a cheap price, but I have seen them at random places like Five Below. I’m sure you could even order them from Amazon.

Only Keep the Clothes You Actually Wear

This sounds like the simplest advice ever, but it needs to be said. I was keeping a lot of pieces of clothing that I kept saying that I would wear eventually, but I never did. If you haven’t worn that piece in a year, when you have gone through every season, I would suggest selling it or donating it, or if you don’t want to part with it, keeping it at home. College closets are so small that it’s better to have essentials that are versatile that you can pair with all different kinds of outfits.

How to Stay Organized in College

I feel like college is the ultimate test of how well you can balance your life. You have to juggle your social life, possibly a job, homework, tests, sleep, etc. It’s a lot, and I am someone that would be lost if I didn’t have my planner. I have come up with a couple ways that I keep my life organized that will hopefully help you too.
