Most of us are broke college kids still trying to figure out what we want to do with our lives. But a girl can dream, right?! When we find something we want, we just want to remember it for the future. After all, we spend our whole lives planning for it! This is why Pinterest is every collegiette’s guilty pleasure (but no need to feel guilty…you aren’t the only one!) Just know: P is for passion.
- Find your inner fashionista:
We all have a little shopaholic in us. I mean, come on, there’s no such thing as having too many clothes, shoes, or jewelry, right? Find your fashion sense with name brand outfits and seasonal trends, or whatever fits your personality, from classy to chic to edgy. Whether you would rather dress like a bum or someone on the red carpet or somewhere in the middle, there is a perfect wardrobe out there for you. Maybe you want to be a designer or stylist or maybe you just love wearing the latest looks. You might find that your taste will change, but you don’t have to be a Chaco or duck boot kind of girl. You’re free to have your own style!

- Find your inner chef:
Who isn’t a foodie at heart? Find a recipe for your favorite foods and drinks, or discover news ones you didn’t even know existed! If you are on a diet, there has to be a healthy version on there somewhere. If not, why not splurge? Learn how to fix a traditional holiday meal or an international food you have always wanted to try, or a delectable dessert. This is the only time it’s okay to pretend that you can eat or drink anything and everything without gaining weight. Sweet or salty, the list is never-ending!

- Find your inner decorator/DIYer:
Have you ever imagined what your dream home would look like? You might already have in mind every single detail, from exterior to interior. Whether you envision your perfect house to be a mansion in the Hamptons or a log cabin in the middle of nowhere, you can find all of the essentials to fit your every desire, from the white picket fence to the master bedroom, the walk in closet, the granite kitchen countertops, hardwood floors, screened in porch, backyard infinity pool, even an elevator, heated toilet seat, or LED color changing showerhead. You probably have some idea of your taste since you decorated your own room. Make it YOU. Get creative!

- Find your inner motivation:
You can find motivation in practically anything! Inspirational quotes about life to get you through a bad day, a bucket list, a model or celebrity whose body you are working towards and wish to have one day, exercises or healthy dieting tips to get you to that goal, cute pictures of animals or couples or babies that put a smile on your face, a car or product you love that you are saving up for or are going to reward yourself with eventually. Strive for happiness and reach for your highest potential. A little motivation goes a long way!

- Find your inner event planner/vacationer:
What is the one special day that every girl fantasizes over? You don’t want to be a bridezilla when you plan your luxurious wedding, but at the same time, you want to be entirely in charge of it. Well, on Pinterest, everything is up to you. The dress, the cake, the ring, the hair, the food, the flowers, the ceremony, the reception, the place (indoor/outdoor, beach/church), the honeymoon, you name it. Speaking of honeymoon, there is no better way to look for the best spots than on the handy dandy Pinterest. You can find plenty of romantic getaways, from Bora Bora, Tahiti to Paris, France. You just have to decide what kind of destination you are after: tropical or historical. If you don’t even have a wedding in mind, just browse through the travel category and start booking your trip! Whatever you are planning, whether simple or extravagant, the decision is yours.

Pinterest IS the ultimate distractor [just a warning], and you can get completely lost in re-pinning that you totally lose track of time (we’ve all been there). So even if you spend hours scrolling through people, places, and things that you think you can never have, dream bigger because anything is possible! It may sound cliché, but go get inspired and try new things. Remember, college is just the beginning! Every collegiette needs a break from college life. Ironic, I know.
