About

Hello!

My name is Donatella and I am a 20 year-old Canadian student living in Ottawa

On this blog I post about a wide range of topics most pertaining to student life such as study tips, note-taking, language learning, wellness and travelling for students. My goal with my content is to encourage the audience (you!) to stay motivated with your studies, learn new ways to stay focused in school while also providing some fun posts about miscellaneous things (cause you gotta have that work life balance).

I am currently in the third year of my undergrad in Legal Studies with my minor in Italian (I also study French) and I am working towards being fluent in both languages by the end of my degree.

The Blog

Istarted this blog for several reasons. The major one being that there was not a lot of blogs towards studying languages and student life. I was always looking on the internet for a place that would give me study/organization tips  while also providing some REAL advice about life as a students. So I thought that I should try my hand at blogging as maybe there was other people who were interested in the same things as me.

 

My interests include: making lists, the art of sarcasm, all things aesthetically pleasing, the colour red, wordplay, rollercoasters, having an analogy for everything, collecting post cards, the occasional shot of espresso (with three teaspoons for sugar)

So click around and check out my latest post or head over to my Instagram.

-Ciao, Donatella

  6. About the coffee…right there with ya. One of my bosses only scheduled meetings for after 9:30 am, to give me time to get caffeine in my veins. Otherwise, he knew I’d be mostly silent. 🙂

  14. Donatella,

    You don’t know me but I wanted to tell you thank you SOOOO much for taking time to read the post I had made about the struggles and difficulties my family and I are facing right now with my mom’s colon cancer diagnosis. It had been reblogged on “THEGIRLWHOFEAROBLIVION”‘s blog the other day and I saw you had “liked” it on there. Me and my brother are trying to do everything in our power to gain traction for the cancer relief crowd funding page that we put together for her. I would humbly ask that you contribute whatever you possibly can. Even if it’s $5 or something still every little bit helps. We’re just a small family of me, my mom and brother and she isn’t able to work because of her chemo and I haven’t been able to work much because I have to stay home and be a full time caregiver and guardian for my brother. I do some freelance work online and odd jobs around town but it’s not enough to support our family. If you can’t contribute please consider reblogging our post:

    or visit the actual crowd funding donation page at:

    Thank you SO much again for your time and consideration,

    Your blog looks super nice and is really comfortable to read. The photography is especially eye catching.

  21. Hey Old Sport, first of all, I just want to say thank you for helping me out on The Millionaire’s Digest.I may not know you very well and you may not know me very well either, but what I do know is this: Me and You make a powerful team, and you’ve got that hard strong work ethic like I do that not many people have. Now I just want to tell you that I’ve upgraded your account, so now you can do so much more on it. I also hope you feel like you’re actually an official owner/administrator of The Millionaire’s Digest And basically what I just did is I’ve given you the power to do pretty much anything and everything that I do. The only thing you can’t do is delete the website, lol, but I trust you enough that you wouldn’t do that.

    Oh and speaking of deleting the website, I haven’t really told anyone this, but I’m not sure if I’m going to continue The Millionaire’s Digest. But I mean, I don’t know and not that it’s a bad thing or anything. I just don’t think it’s something for me anymore. So instead of deleting it, I think I’m going to turn it over to the first 10 people (which includes you) who listened to all my directions right straight from the beginning when I first started to allow people to join our team. But I don’t know. And lol, I’m not sick or high or anything. It’s just, I guess I’m not sure.

    Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve upgraded your account so you don’t freak out the next time you come to write an article for it. Thank you again Old Sport for helping me.

    Sincerely,

    K&L

    P.S. – I’ll make an advertisement and put it up on the front page so when people click on it, it’ll send them straight directly from my website to yours. Just give me like 15 minutes!
