Creativity is Green


“Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.” — Theodore Levitt


The college lecture hall can be a hectic hall. If you are like me, you may find yourself in a classroom of over 300 students (yikes!).  You’ll see among plenty notebooks, binders, and computers around. Whatever you use to help you write down your notes, you need to make your official note storage holder stand out above the crowd.

Five Star® sells customizable binders that provide a pocket for you to fit an 8 x 11 inch paper in it. Use that paper to show your personality, creativity, and/or beliefs. Some creative ideas could include pictures of your friends, favorite celebrities, or more. You can physically or electronically create patterns like polka dots or stripes.  You can even decorate like I did where I created a wordle showing the idea of being environment friendly.

In my opinion, this is the best thing about Five Star® products is that their outstanding quality allows students to be environmentally friendly.  Being in this new “green” society, millions of people have started to change their ways in order to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Instead of drinking plastic bottles, we buy our own personal water bottles. We try to ride our bikes, instead of taking the bus. We plant more trees. Five Star® guarantees that their products will never break during a full school year. This allows students to waste less money on school products, allow them to reuse the products for another semester, and if your like me, recycle them for other purposes instead of just school products like travel logs (Hybrid Notebinder), coupon holders (Zipper binders), and more.

Finishing Out Summer in Style



“Sometimes, you will never the know true value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” 

It looks like the next 2 or 3 weeks of summer vacation will start dwindling down. What may seem like a long time will be over before we know it.

A great way to finish summer is to watch the London 2012 Olympics. I hope to join my family and friends to watch Team USA compete against the world. I plan to deck out in red, white, and blue top, skinny jeans, and my red ballet flats. During commercial breaks, I plan to organize and gather some important forms and documents needed for college with Five Star’s new horizontal expanding file! I love how this awesome product matches with my outfit. It even includes folders that are the same color as the Olympic rings! Did you know the colors represent the flags of the countries that participate in the Olympics? I can’t wait to watch some epic sports events like swimming. I’m definitely keeping my eye on Missy Franklin, Michael Phelps, and Ryan Lochte.

Speaking of swimming, I’m spending my last week with my swim team, Catawba Valley Aquatic Club. This is the last week I will be spending my time at our homely chlorinated pool. I’ve been with the Stingrays for 8 years now. The lessons I’ve learned, the people I’ve met, and the things I’ve been able to accomplish through swimming are moments that will forever be in my memory. This Saturday will be my last swim meet with this hardworking and inspiring group of people. I’m still undecided whether I’ll join the club team at the college so this may be my last race, forever.

My job as a Team Five Star® Ambassador has been going fabulous! I’ve been so lucky to work with some of the most awesome people in the world. They’ve been finishing out their summer in style as well so see what they’ve been up to at www.tinyurl.com/FSTeam

I hope to spend my last moments in my hometown by saying one last goodbye to some of my high school friends. It’s seems like moving day to college is forever away but it’s slowly becoming a reality. So, it’s time to finish out the summer in style!
