Blogs You Love - The College Prepster

I have a LOT of blogs on my reading list here on Blogger.  Most of them are horse-related....but not all of them.  I'd actually like to expand my reading list to include other things, too, but The College Prepster was actually the first one I found, years ago when I started my blog.

Picture from Carly's 1/13/15 post: How I Do It.  That post actually links to another post in which she was interviewed by Meg Biram's blog, GSD, and I really loved that interview.  It had lots of great organizational and productive tips, some of which I already utilize and some that I now plan to start using.

I love this blog.  Carly's life is completely different from mine, but I admire her determination and tenacity when it comes to building up her business.  She's creative, and she's very good at writing in a way that brings you right into her New York City apartment, or wherever she happens to be writing from/about.

I get a lot of inspiration from her blog, ranging from ideas to do to her attitude and outlook on life and work.  Sometime I live vicariously through her posts, because honestly, she gets a lot of awesome opportunities, and she's at a point in her life where she can afford to do things that I can't even hope to do for at least another few years (money, ugh).

It's really a great blog to read, and I think just about anyone would enjoy it.  What's not to like?

What blogs do you like?  This isn't technically a blog hop, but if you'd like to steal this idea (I mean, it's not exactly original, but it's fun!), write a post about a blog (or blogs) that you follow and love and post the link in the comments below this one!  I may start doing this on a regular basis, and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Writing Ideas, Day Two

Share a website you spend way too much on, and why.

Hmm.  Honestly, lately I haven't been online much. Not stumbling from website to website online anyway.  

I'm living with my grandfather at the moment, and since he still chooses to live in the stone ages of technology and has no wifi, I'm limited to what I can comfortably do from my phone.

That usually consists of Facebook, Instagram, and reading blogs.  Sometimes YouTube if I have good enough service and the mood strikes me.

The most common out of these?  Facebook.

The most interesting?  Blogger.

Specifically one blog in particular recently (The College Prepster), just because I've followed this girl's blog for a while now, and since I've recently gotten back into writing/reading blogs when I can, her journey has been inspiring me even more than lately.  She's in a state of change at the moment like me - in a different point in her life, but it's still change.

Another that I always enjoy catching up on is a good friend's.  In Omnia Paratus follows her life with her horses, her outdoorsy adventures, and her journey since college.  We both have busy schedules (hers is admittedly much busier than mine), so catching up happens less often than liked, and I enjoy reading her blog.  She's a great writer.

Also, one I imagine I will be frequenting more often now is The Narrative of a Life.  It is written by another close friend of mine, also a very good writer.  (She's been writing fiction since she was a kid, but this is her first foray into the blogosphere.)  I'm looking forward to what she has in store for us.

So there you have it - what I've been reading lately, and hopefully some new reading ideas for you all, too!
