Things to Remember

Now that fall is approaching and all of us are headed inside to desks and offices, summer a mere memory of the past, life seems to be moving all too fast. There are readings and assignments and applications, and only so many hours in the day. As you all get back into the groove of … Continue reading Things to Remember

If You Could Just Imagine…

Today, in the little world I and the rest of the students from my school live in, is called Imagine Day. Imagine Day is a campus-wide orientation like I expect you'd find at many other universities, where first-years are ushered around in faculty specific groups by older students, awestruck by the ridiculous size of the … Continue reading If You Could Just Imagine…

200 Days of Self Love

I've spent a fair few blog posts documenting my troubles with self love, which led to the decision last Valentine's Day to try an exercise called 365 Days of Self Love. It mostly is what it sounds like, unless you have a very dirty mind about everything: every night I write down in my journal one … Continue reading 200 Days of Self Love

Finding Motivation from the VMAs

A lot of the older generations claim that we millennials don't yet understand how the world works, and I'm not going to pretend as if we have it all figured out, but they don't understand how our world works, either. Last night were the MTV VMAs. Yeah, it's a bit of a shitshow in the … Continue reading Finding Motivation from the VMAs

Summer Favorites 2015

With summer wrapping up and everyone heading back to school, I thought I would try something a bit new for me (though certainly not for the internet) and tell you about some of my favorite things this summer! Why am I doing this, you wonder? Well, quite simply, I like talking about things that I … Continue reading Summer Favorites 2015

Starting at the Middle

Back-to-school is upon us all, and whether you go to school or just get bombarded by all of the ads and posts about it, you must be feeling some sort of that sentiment that a new year is starting...but wait, isn't it August? Every year we seem to start two new years: a calendar year … Continue reading Starting at the Middle

The One Where I’m Anxious

Anxiety is new for me. I've only had it for about a year now, and it's like not being able to do things you used to as easily. I don't get panic attacks, I just...get tired and anxious and uncomfortable and need to be alone in a secure place. This trip should have been easy … Continue reading The One Where I’m Anxious

Learning Skills for Success

There are two types of people in the world: those who believe skills are the product of innate talent, and those who believe that skills are learned through hard work. Which would you say you are? Go ahead, pick sides. There's no wrong answers. I can't tell you who you are. I can, however, tell … Continue reading Learning Skills for Success

A Mid-Summer Assessment

I am just over halfway done with my two month summer, and as I've been reading the section in Grace's Guide (by Grace Helbig) on how to work hard in the professional world, it seems important that I see just how well I've been doing on those summer goals...(I'm honestly not looking forward to this). … Continue reading A Mid-Summer Assessment
