I’ve been waiting 2 years to turn 22! Well 22 years actually, but I didn’t care much for turning this age until the infamous Taylor Swift song was released. It seems that in the blogging community it’s common to publish posts on your birthday about the things you’ve learned and the goals you’ve managed to […]
College internships are absolutely necessary if you want to get a job straight out of college. Instead of taking the year after graduation to gain work experience, you can do so while in school! With so many universities offering internship programs, on campus internships and career fairs regularly, there is no excuse as to why […]
I left for college immediately after I graduated from high school. I packed up all my clothes and piles of dorm decorations, hopped in the truck and drove 9 hours away from everything and everyone I knew. While the decision to go to school far from home wasn’t difficult for me to make, I never […]
Whether you like it or not, Valentine’s Day is all about chocolates, greeting cards and the immense pressure to have someone special to spend the day with. But what’s a girl to do when she’s fresh out of a relationship and has temporarily sworn of all men? Except Detective Stabler because he can do no […]
I am a very emotional person. No matter the feeling, I am most likely crying. I cry when I’m happy, sad, angry and especially when I’m tired. The scene in Alice in Wonderland where she literally cries herself a river really resonated with me as a child and can basically sum up my emotional state […]

Everything including paying all the bills on time, decorating […]
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 […]
I just passed the six month mark of quitting my job at the law firm and becoming unemployed in one of the most expensive cities in America. Yeah, I did that. My reason for leaving my great job is simple, I am determined to complete my masters this year. Working full time and going to […]

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 […]

The only thing harder than walking into work on Monday morning is dragging your tired ass to the bus stop. Or train terminal or subway station, whatever your personal choice of hell is. While it’s nice not having to feel personally victimized by every idiot on the road, you are then forced to socialize with […]
