As I sat down to write this I instantly titled the post, ’20 Spring Date Ideas.” Then I remembered spring was almost over and I just hadn’t noticed because the weather in Washington DC has been terrible. With summer coming, it’s leaves a lot of us either wanting to go outside completely (totally understandable) or […]
The beginning of my 2016 was nothing I could have predicted a year prior. If you had told me I would be single, spend months channeling all my energy into my blog only to become completely overwhelmed with everything and disappear I would have believed you. Only because my life has a way of totally […]
New Year’s resolutions are goals we all want to accomplish in the new year yet have a hard time understanding why so often we fail to even get started. With most everyone setting resolutions at the beginning of the year, it can be easy to find yourself with extra motivation to set goals you otherwise […]
My friend Marilyn just posted the most empowering thing on Instagram. No it wasn’t a butt selfie or a meme about how all men are fuck boys, it was her grad school transcript. All ‘As. All A’s in her graduate courses. Wow. People like to make fun of the women (and men) who choose to […]
Family is not something I place a lot of emphasis on in my life. While I have a mother I’m very close to and a sister who I modeled my personality after, I’ve always been a bit off to the side in regards to my extended family. With too many cousins to remember and the […]
As you’re reading this I am on an eight hour bus ride to Southern California to celebrate my birthday. While trying to figure out what to pack I decided I ought to write a post on carry on essentials, I mean I do travel long distances kinda often. Like every three months often! Below are […]
The ability to attend a four year university is an experience unlike any other. For four years you have the freedoms of adulthood without any of the responsibility. Very few college students know the stress of having to work full time, manage bills and be asked the all too common, “so what’s your next step?” […]
Renting your first apartment is a right of passage into adulthood. Yes, moving out of your parent’s home for college feels like a big deal at the time, but nothing feels more real than signing only your name to a lease and being responsible for everything. Everything including paying all the bills on time, decorating […]
Most years I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving because I’m an incredibly picky eater who rather order a pizza than have to deal with cleaning up the mess afterwards. Having not been home for Thanksgiving for the past five years, I’ve almost forgotten what dishes you traditionally find on the table. This year my boyfriend and I […]
So many of us enter the new year with a positive attitude, with a set of goals we want to accomplish and the motivation to help us get a jump start towards achieving those goals. Then mid-January rolls along and the magic of the new year has faded. Either the new semester has begun or […]
Breakups are forever and always my favorite topic, after all, they are the reason I discovered my love for blogging and therapy. Yep, my decision to become a therapist all started with me talking to a therapist because of a boy who broke my heart. Crazy right? While I may not specialize (yet) in couples […]
I never Black Friday shop, partly because up until a few years ago I lacked the money to buy anything, but mostly because my mother was a firm believer in the idea that if you cant afford it, you must not need it all that much. So I don’t really Black Friday shop, unless going […]
What Am I Doing With My Life? is a weekly segment where I recap all the things I spent my week reading, watching and listening to. Think of it as a weekly link roundup but better, because it has a much more adorable name… These past two weeks have been a stream of cover letters, […]
