The Reinvention

I began this blog four years ago as a freshman in college just beginning my journey to purpose and adulthood. I discovered the things that I enjoy and dabbled in the things I wanted to take on. I created a blog with a lack of purpose. I took on the name "TheSavvyBlogger" because I slightly understood that my thoughts and words could be limited by no one. Now I've matured through my college years and now I know that nothing can limit me. My thoughts, words, and experiences aren't ones to be limited by any one human being. I understand the power held in words so now I can fully embrace my blog and use it as a tool to share my experiences to those that may face these same encounters one day. 

Cheers to not conforming, liberation, and the push of voices being heard!

How to Prevail in Trying Times

Image
C ollege life can be hard. We get caught up in our present, our past, and our futures. We juggle class  schedules, work schedules and time with loved ones. Sometimes we don't spend the time we should grinding for those degrees, getting in our bags, or picking up the phone. We're faced with separate trials and tribulations in the different aspects of our lives. We're faced with things opposing our success like hard tests, Satan, or individuals who lack the slightest care for our best interest. The dark clouds seem to cloud our vision before we can see the light. We pray and we ponder. How do we get through this? Will  we get through this? Yes! This post results from trying times of the last few weeks. It manifested from feelings of discouragement, underappreciated, lack of support. It was written through texts with loved ones remembering that I am supported and appreciated. It was formed through feelings of worry and sorrow yet finished through trium

Mental Health, Perception & College Progression

Image
It, learned to breathe fresh air Long live the rose that grew from concrete I want to begin this post by talking a little about perception.  What they see is messages left on delivered, arriving late to class with an unbothered look, avoiding tasks or meetings, low grades because of a lack of study hours, short responses. What they perceive is carelessness. They see someone who doesn't seem to give much effort, therefore, they brush it off and don't address the situation, even devalue them. About 30% of College Students Suffer From Depression What they don't know is that you see their messages, but you cant gather any energy to talk to them although you want to. They don't know that while you arrive late to class, that was an actual win because rather than missing the class altogether, you were able to push yourself just enough to get out of bed that morning. They don't know that you want to participate in the meeting or complete the task, but

The Divine 9: A Discussion of Dangerous Sexism

Image
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) consists of the nine historical Black Greek Letter Organizations (BGLOs). Theses nine fraternities and sororities make up the Divine 9 (D9). In this post it will often be referred to as the council. If you've read one of my earlier posts then you are aware that I am a proud member of an organization in the Divine 9. I should say that this isn't a post where I brag about my beloved sorority or where I discuss the history behind the Divine 9. This is a raw post about sexism and misogyny within the council. This discussion should hold the understanding that a sexist may not always be a misogynist, but a misogynist is always a sexist. Sometimes, Greeks are "supposed" to represent the "best of the best", creme de la creme. We each are supposed to have certain standards and purposes that we uphold ourselves to. Often time, none of this is true. People get caught up in the letters and the atmosphere and forget that th
