After watching CNN’s news coverage for a few hours last night, I suddenly became very anxious about the current conditions in Texas. Living in Washington DC puts residents in this strange position where you’re weirdly detached from the country while at the center of our country’s legislation. When natural disasters like this hit, I think […]

Saving money doesn’t have to be hard or mean you can’t enjoy your life. After quitting my well paying job to finish my masters, I learned that the only way it was going to work was by cutting back on things I didn’t need and saving money on the things I did. If you’re trying […]

My first quarter of college I enrolled in three courses, including Introductory Psychology, World History 1500-1900, and Intro to Microeconomics. Had I based my future or even overall college performance on that first quarter, I would have bet my entire financial aid refund on me dropping out and becoming a full time couch potato. Here’s […]

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 […]

Being single on Valentine’s Day is never easy, especially with all of our non-single friends on social media flaunting their relationships in our face. When brainstorming what I wanted to write about during the month of February for Her Campus, I figured why not create something that will distract me and other girls like me […]

I’ve never written a monthly goals post for many reasons. Mainly because I am convinced no one is interested in my desire to get my life in order, but also because I don’t really make monthly goals. I’m much more of a daily to do list kind of gal. With life throwing something new at […]

The holidays can be the most exciting time of the year, with everyone getting together to celebrate and almost everything around us being worthy of an Instagram shot. Even though the temperature is getting colder, there’s no reason why date night needs to turn into sweatpants and Netflix, at least not every weekend. Whether you […]

My overall theme for this year was to live for me more, which I talked about a little in my word of the year post. The two things I love to do are blog and travel, both cost a little money, but the latter definitely more. Keeping those two things in mind I’ve been more […]

My passion for writing grew out of writing about relationships, but unlike others, my interest has always been about the end of relationships. Breakups, getting played, cheating, not knowing where you stand, all of these are stages of relationships that we don’t talk about, out of embarrassment or fear that others will judge us. At […]

My entire motivation to travel on my birthday began on my 20th birthday. I spent the day with my mother and her new husband, touring San Francisco and overall hating where my life was. Don’t get me wrong, I love my mom, but that’s just not how I envisioned entering my twenties. I don’t really […]

The 2016 election is something that I have been waiting eight years for. Back when I was sixteen my sister and I took a trip to San Francisco to hear Hillary Clinton speak at a rally. On that same day I picked up the sticker that still sits on my laptop, the one that sported […]

Phone interviews give you the jitters of a first date with the comfort of knowing if all goes wrong still got a free meal out of it. The option to be interviewed over the phone means you don’t have to stress about things like body language, how to enter the room or what to wear. […]

My boyfriend texts a girl named Anastasia at least once per day. He’s been talking to her for months and I don’t see him stopping in the near future. He regularly checks up how her day is going and asks if she wants anything from the grocery store while he’s there. It would bother me […]

As I walked home today I was approached by a strange man claiming his dog had wandered into my apartment complex. Having just watched a video the night before about being wary of people who claim they need help, when in reality they take advantage of people who like to be helpful (ie me). I […]
