I officially want to make it a tradition to make a “Year in Review” post each year. I did this last year and I found it, not only a great resource (since I added all of my blog posts for the year onto it), but also a great way to evaluate what went right, what went wrong, and to give a few hints as to what is coming up!
As 2019 comes to a close, I am so proud and excited to see how far The Olden Chapters has come. I have completely changed my website design and have officially launched my very own Printables Online Etsy Shop! So far, I have added quite a few printables, all related to student planning, but there is a TON in the works and ready to be added in 2020!
I have also had the amazing pleasure of adding a ton of new content to my blog. This year, I’ve decided to narrow my focus and really take a deep dive into student tips, financial advice, and everything young-adult related. What all have I covered in 2019? Let’s take a look.
Financial Advice
As young adults, we all struggle with saving money and living better lives on a budget. In my pursuit of this idea, I have come across some amazing tips and created my own along the way. The following posts are the result of these experiences this year:

The Olden Chapters Printables
As mentioned before, this year I launched my Printables Online Etsy Store! It included various productivity, budget, school, and college printables, worksheets, templates, calendars, tips, planners, and more. My top listing has been my Ultimate Student Printable Planner! I love this listing so much I use it myself in two different binders, one stays at home for personal planning, and one is in my school binder that I bring to campus with me.
Goodbye 2019, hello 2020!
What an amazing 2019, right? I have loved every second of blogging and providing content for my amazing readers. So, what is to come in 2020? Here are some hints!
Things to look forward to from The Olden Chapters in 2020:
