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…
Now that it’s technically spring, I’ve been working on my spring cleaning list. Honestly, it’s pretty boring. I clean my apartment thoroughly every weekend and do tidying up every night… but I’m doing a deep dive cleaning spree. Floors, walls, every nook & cranny. No stone left unturned. Besides the obvious “cleaning” that should be…
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…
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…
I’ve discussed a little bit about how I’m a little OCD about how I organize my laptop. Because the semester is beginning to pick up speed (already, I know), I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share just how detailed I organize my documents. But first, I want to say something to Microsoft…
I’ve mentioned this before, but I seem to keep coming back to it because I’m still wondering what I was thinking. I truly thought that I wouldn’t need a desk in my new apartment. I was obviously trying to be conscience about the space available to me, but the kitchen table seriously doesn’t cut it! My new…
What’s that?! Is this thing on?! Remember my series “Organize, Please”? Well we’re back today. I’ll be honest and say that I feel very, very far from being organized right now. I think it’s why I haven’t posted anything recently. My digital life is fairly organized, but… our house? It’s a disaster. Closets. Drawers. The…
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….
College Prep Spoiler: A NEW desktop wallpaper is available at the bottom of the post! enjoy 🙂 I have some serious issues when it comes to keeping my laptop desktop a certain way. I have this friend. And every time I see his computer, I try to organize the desktop. He used to get so…
I have truly fallen head over heels for mahjong. There’s just something about gathering around a table, the satisfying clack of the tiles, the perfect mix of strategy and luck, and the joy of playing with friends. It’s more than just a game... it’s connection, tradition, and a little bit of magic. One of my favorite things in life is sharing hobbies with friends... whether it’s baking sourdough, needlepointing, or now, mahjong. Last week, I hosted a mahjong 101 class for my neighbors and friends who had shown interest in learning how to play. My mom even came up from Tampa for it! @msmahj_nj came over and showed everyone the ropes!! I got such a thrill seeing my friends catch on. By the end of the night, everyone totally got it and we all played a full game. I got four texts that night sharing that they couldn’t fall asleep because they were buzzing with excitement. (That’s always how I feel after I play too!)The more people who play, the more we can play… so consider this your sign to learn!! Do you play? Or is there a hobby you’ve fallen in love with lately?

This is the best my hair has ever been. I do not have Good Hair™️. In fact, for as long as I can remember I’ve been battling my hair in one way or another. As a baby, I was pretty bald. Then I had curly hair and my mom cut bangs (!!!). In elementary school I had a Karen haircut. At the end of middle school I fried my hair when I discovered The Chi and would wake up before 6am to blow dry and straighten my hair. My hair is going grey. My hair doesn’t like any moisture in the air and is unpredictable.
But now at 35, I’m kind of experiencing my best hair yet due to this regimen which I’ve been tweaking and perfecting for the past couple of years. I say all this to acknowledge that I’m never going to be a hair model, but this is REALLY GOOD for me and I’m happy with it.
Comment HAIR and I’ll share the products I’m using!
