Even though my birthday is right smack in the middle of summer, fall is my all time favorite season. The weather is finally enjoyable and everything around me looks like it was made to be Instagrammed. As someone who enjoys making specific plans for the weekend, buckets lists are totally my jam. There’s already a […]
Do you know when you haven’t done something for so long that you forget how to get started? As if your body has forgotten the movements associated with the activity? Like standing up after sitting through a long flight, your bones and muscles don’t fully cooperate with what they’re being told to do. That’s a […]
When I started writing this post I second guessed if I’m the type of person who should be giving out advice on how to write a great essay. Just yesterday I spent the entire day, sunrise to sunset, writing a project proposal that ended at 24 pages and one empty pizza box. If I was […]
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 […]
I’m currently sitting on the couch, covered in crumbs, questioning if these leggings are suddenly smaller of if I overdid it with the snacks. Either way, I don’t need this negativity in my life. Makes a mental note to buy comfier leggings. Aannndd my boyfriend just yelled. Which is the reason why I’m writing this. […]
I’m beginning to write this post with no real direction, kind of like how Michael Scott starts a sentence. Thanks to Facebook’s On This Day feature, I remembered that this weekend marked three years in Washington DC for me, an anniversary I would have surely been angry had I forgotten it. My journey on the […]
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 […]
