The end of 2018 marks the first complete year for The Olden Chapters. How exciting is that?! This blog has come a long way since January of 2018. It has covered quite a few topics and has morphed into a something that I am so proud of. Let’s dive into all of the topics and highlights of the year!
Travel
Traveling Around Colorado
At the beginning of the year, I published numerous traveling posts that reflected my life at the time. My weekends were filled with hiking and exploring Colorado, leading to numerous blog posts including:
- The Top Ten Day Hikes near Denver, CO
- Colorado’s Hidden Gem Lake Hike
- The Easiest Glacier Hike Near Denver
- The Most Iconic Hike in Colorado
- Hiking to Castle Ruins near Denver
Summer Adventures
As the year went on, we began exploring neighboring states, and had the amazing opportunity to see well over ten of the most famous US National Parks!

College
As the year went on, I moved my content more towards academic assistance. My goal for this blog was (and still is!) to help college students. Creating new content to see this happen became a huge priority of mine in the spring and summer. This lead to countless blog posts, ranging in all different categories.
Study Tips and College Preparation
The core of all college tips is how to reach your academic goals… right? Well, that is the way I see it! Study tips and tricks, as well as preparing for a successful semester are some of the main topics I covered this year and I truly hope they have been useful.

College Essentials
Along with study tips, knowing what to bring to campus can make or break how any student’s day goes!
Studying Abroad
One great way to boost any student’s resume is studying abroad! This is also a great (and productive) way to see the world and getting out of your comfort zone. I have now had the pleasure of studying abroad twice and loved it! I shared my experiences as well as my top tips.
Career and Budget Tips for Students
The entire reason we all attend college is to eventually land a great career. However, there is no class in college titled “How to Find your Dream Job,” or “How to Kill your Next Interview.” (If there is, you are truly getting your money’s worth with your university!) Furthermore, as we all very well know, college can be a struggle to finance. These two problems lead me to cover a range of budget and career-related topics to help students along their way.
