often caught making people laugh at my own expense
It might not be the first question, but it's always in the top 5... How's school going? What are you planning to do with your degree? Are you seeing anyone special? Blah blah blah... As for the first two questions, I can't help you there. However, it's time to stop dreading the question about that [...]
We often get so excited and overwhelmed in our first year that we often forget that college is a business. We get so wrapped up in our classes, friends, and new way of life that we don't even care how much we're paying to live in a shoe box because our best friends live next [...]
The summer in Seattle was one for the books. It was the summer of self discovery, a badass internship, exploring the PNW, and most importantly, getting to know some of the greatest people I have ever met.

My mom had helped me move into my studio apartment, I had practiced the walk to work to ensure I would [...]
*Affiliate links included in post. I have wanted a french bulldog for as long as I can remember. There is something about their scrunched up noses, chunky bodies and bat ears that I knew I needed in my life.I waited until I had what I thought was enough time in my schedule before moving forward [...]
Spoiler: I was NOT in my finest state. Fortunately, we had met before. Anyways... here is the story: I was so excited to hear that I had an interview that I didn't even take the time to process that it was the day after my 21st birthday. As the day approached, I was convinced I [...]
At an early age we're taught to trust our gut. Your fight or flight responses are an innate part of decision making, but sometimes you have to think past your gut and think mind over matter.
