Interviews are about as stressful as first dates, except in this case your risking a better job with a better salary, not a guy who will make you fall in love with him until you discover he has a foot fetish and possibly a drinking problem. (Too much?) Whether this is your first time or […]
First days of work are hard. Don’t believe me? You must not have read my last post on how I cried in my office, twice. You can read all about that embarrassing moment here. As someone who likes to prepare for every possible situation, first days of work are a mix of anxiety and excitement, […]
If you are anything like me, senior year of college consisted of too many people asking you what your plans were after graduation. Now a full year later, I’ve successfully managed to move across the country and transition from a low paying job at a nonprofit organization to my current position at a global law […]
Ever since I made the goal of not giving up on my dream, which is to create an online community for twenty somethings, I’ve dedicated a lot of time to trying to figure out my plan of action. As someone who can’t so much as clean her apartment without making a list, I like to […]
So many people make New Year’s Resolutions based on their perceptions of themselves. It’s the norm to turn to friends when needing advice on relationships or important life decisions, so why aren’t friend’s opinions also factored in while making resolutions for the new year? My first week back from winter break I walked back to […]
Over time social media has become something I use less and less, with the exception of Instagram. My slow transition to no longer using Facebook had a little to do with the comparison game we all play and a lot do with the amount of negativity I saw on the platform on a daily basis. […]
Starting your first job is stressful for so many reasons. By the time your first day arrives the excitement of being hired has faded away and all you’re left with worrying if you even meet the job requirements and if your coworkers will be giant pains in the ass. On top of everything else, you […]
Thrift shopping is like gambling except you always leave a winner. Or maybe that’s just my perspective, because my first 30 minutes in a casino was hands down the most disappointing experience of my life. No I wasn’t expecting to be richer, but I at least wanted to have a little fun. Thirty minutes at […]
Trip one, back when I had hope Last week…scratch that, the past three weeks have been a complete test of my patience. With group projects, planning events and my brand new laptop deciding to give up on life, I’ve been a bit irritable. On top of my constant state of annoyance, having to resort back […]
Before last week I had never heard of the trend of choosing a word to define your year. Resolutions are goals I loosely make at the beginning of each January, but choosing a theme to focus my year on was never something that crossed my mind. If you read my blog semi regularly, or even […]
Recently after years of education and training I finally became a full blown therapist. Okay, technically I’m a therapist intern, but I’m trusted enough to have real life clients of my own. Basically I’m a therapist in training wheels, which makes everything about to tell you okay to say. Anyways, I’m a therapist now. The […]
This past three day weekend was spent streaming old episodes of Law and Order SVU and writing enough cover letters to last me a lifetime. While I typed up the reasons why I am a candidate worth hiring, I listened to Elliot and Olivia argue about the usual stuff. Women’s rights, religion and their thoughts […]
Full of so many hopes and dreams, until the DC housing situation crushed them… Going to college wasn’t something I thought about at all throughout my childhood and teenage years. As a kid I was always pretty smart, and as I grew into a teenager I was able to keep an interest in most school […]
Regular me wants to dive right into this post and start listing all the reasons why sometimes I purposefully keep scrolling without double tapping that screen. Then more clearheaded me reminds myself that if I don’t throw in a disclaimer everyone will think I’m a bitch who finds joy in not liking my friends photos. […]
