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 […]
The night before my 23rd birthday I gave my final presentation as a first year graduate student. That night my boyfriend and I celebrated the last moments of me being 22, finishing my first year of school and the fact that I earned $5 in extrabucks at CVS. As a senior in college, it felt […]
When I was young I never imagined adulthood would mean I would start a life across the country in a city where I had no support system. Yet that’s exactly what it’s been like so far. Part of growing up means learning how to take care yourself, whether that means you make your own doctor’s […]
Interviews have always been something I look forward to. I’m not sure if it’s because I was raised to believe I could do anything I set my mind to or my total confidence in my skills. Or my love of talking about myself. For whatever reason I am almost never nervous before an interview. My […]
Blogging is this thing you either get or you don’t, kinda like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. When someone asks me how long I’ve been sharing my thoughts with strangers on the internet I have to pause and think about it for a moment, which to me signals that I’ve been doing it for much […]
Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays you either love or hate, like New Year’s Eve. But if we’re being honest, the only people who hate either one of those holidays are the same people who pay for a yearlong subscription to Netflix in advance, because they know they won’t be making any plans any […]
As of lately every time I open my Instagram or Facebook app, I’m showered with photos of graduations and cap and gowns. It’s crazy to me that three years ago I walked across the stage, well, more like waddled. I should have known my first year after graduation would me a mess. The sign? Oh […]
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 […]
I’m not sure about you, but December at my house was a whirlwind of emotions. The month started off very motivating with my new planner to help me look forward to every new day. Then somewhere in the middle I fell into a panic about making a decision about my job offers, only to be […]
I feel as if I took a very long vacation, except it was anything but. Within the past three months I moved myself and all my favorite belongings across the country to live and work in Washington DC, did what I was supposed to do there and then lugged all my junk back to California […]
Shopping for men can be hard, scratch that, impossible. Whether they’re super picky or chronically indifferent, choosing the right gift can be difficult whether you just started dating or you’ve been together for years. Luckily, my boyfriend isn’t shy about pointing out any little thing he would like to receive wrapped in shiny paper, so […]

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 […]
