What I’m about to say is going to sound completely ridiculous but it’s the truth, I swear. I bought one of those Happy Planners over Thanksgiving weekend and I have never been so motivated. It’s basically already the new year in my apartment, or at least that’s the level of motivation I’m feeling. Something about […]
This past weekend one of my closest friends visited Washington DC for the first time. As a person who actually helped me with the process of applying to intern in DC and after became the friend I called on (literally) during all my tough days in the city, having her visit meant a lot to […]
Three days. For three days I sat in front of my Macbook and relived the episodes that helped me navigate my early teens. Pop cultural references that suddenly made sense to me and judgments about characters that I had never made before. The Gilmore Girls Revival was set to be released Friday after Thanksgiving, and […]
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 […]
Adopting Max was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my twenties. In my opinion, it totally cancels out the fact that I dated someone totally wrong for me and continuously drop too much money in the Target One Spot section. But anyways, making the choice to get a cat is what has made […]
During college I never had a job, and to be honest, I hadn’t actually held a paying position anywhere since I was fourteen. Without a real need for extra money (my tuition and rent was paid for with my scholarships) I chose to instead use all my free time to volunteer and involve myself with […]
One of the biggest myths about Valentine’s Day is that you need to have a boyfriend or girlfriend to enjoy the holiday. For a holiday all about love, why do we limit it to romantic love? Once a day we swapped cards and pieces of candy with our classmates, is now a day we all […]
If you would have asked me what I’d be doing for Valentine’s Day two months ago I would have probably talked about the trip I was planning or some romantic dinner I had attended. Then the universe decided to throw me a curveball that led to me being dumped on the street on New Years […]
PS I’m Writing About This is a column that will highlight some of the colorful conversations I have with friends, strangers and inanimate objects in my daily life… Me: God I’m so broke, I should really start stripping on the weekends. Benjamin: Nobody would pay to see you strip. Me: I resent that, if it […]
Senior year of college was a whirlwind of events. Between interning in Washington DC and planning for graduation, the thought of attending more years of school was the furthest thing on my mind. Then it happened suddenly, grad school was all anyone was talking about. Whether it was a genuine interest to advance their education […]
Breakups are terrible, at every age. No one can truly warn you how hard it is to go from loving someone one day to having to imagine life without them the next. Forget having to let go of marriage and babies and all that crap, because if we’re honest, that’s not what makes you curl […]
I’ve said it one and I’ll say it a hundred times more, breaks up are fucking hard. Worse than exams, more painful than doing your taxes, way more terrible than blowing an interview for a job you totally wanted. Doesn’t matter how long you were together and if the two of you were never meant […]
Social media is this funny thing that can make you feel better about yourself one second, then two scrolls later like a complete loser. Because of this, for the past year I’ve been much more intentional about the people and accounts I follow on Instagram, ditching the bitchy meme accounts for individuals who keep me […]
This week at work I had a realization that made me wonder why I hadn’t thought of this before. Quick briefer, I’m a therapist, sorta. Technically I am, but I’m unlicensed, which means I’m in the process of earning my hours to be able to qualify to sit for the licensing exam. I’ve completed my […]
