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, […]
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… Today is Valentine’s Day, a holiday I look forward to almost […]
Whether you’re entering your senior year of college or pushing through your last semester, chances are you’re panicked either way. Even though it was years ago I can still remember the first day of my senior year, sharing a room with a girl I had met just a few weeks before, preparing an application for […]
Raise your hand if you enjoy giving gifts more than you enjoy receiving them! *raises hand* Maybe it’s just me but what I love most about Christmas and Valentine’s Day is taking the time to find an item that the most important people in my life will cherish, which is why it’s so annoying when […]
Two weeks. Two weeks is the amount of time it took for me to send out my first batch of applications and receive my first job offer. I did it, and so can you, you just need to keep believing that. If you’ve graduated college recently, you’re all to aware of the common things said […]
I was going to start this blog post off with some witty joke and then maybe transition into my story, but you know what? Nah. My audience according to my site stats is 93% female. Meaning 93% of you know what it’s like to explain something ten different ways and still be looked at with […]
Although I don’t write much on the topic of friendships, making and maintaining friendships is a topic that is almost always on my mind, agenda, and to do list. Why, you may ask? Well, I left everything and everyone I knew to live, work and study in Washington DC. Meaning that one decision meant I […]
I’ve fallen into a bit of a routine lately. Up by 8:30, work by 10, home by 7, repeat. Even my weekends are becoming similar, usually including visiting my favorite dive bar, tending to my succulents and enjoying the bliss that comes with living alone in a city full of people. I absolutely love the […]
The idea about finding someone to date through an app is something I was always against. Restaurant recommendations? Sure. Directions to where I’m going? Please! But a guy to spend my time with and share my popcorn bowl with? No freaking way. Not happening. Never in a million years. Then I realized something. I don’t […]
