often caught making people laugh at my own expense
Call me Bad Luck Madi. February 4, 2020. I tried to pretend I wasn't sad to be transitioning out of my twenty-fun cocoon and I started my day with a positive, can-do attitude. And aside from shattering my favorite water bottle in front of a long line of cars, it even started okay. After that, [...]
You know when you think about something and it shows up as an ad immediately after? How you SWEAR your phone is listening to you? Well, that's not quite the case. You are targeted through demand-side platforms based on your Google (or other search engines) profile. Search engines create anonymous profiles that include demographic information [...]
In my, and I'm sure many other intellectuals' opinion, Mean Girls is one of the greatest movies of all time. So it comes as no surprise that my favorite quote comes from Tina Fey herself. "Say yes and you'll figure it out afterwards." It's far too easy to turn down exciting opportunities based on expected [...]
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. Coming from a small town in Montana, I was exposed to more culture and diversity in 10 short [...]
I've said it before and I'll say it again... the people that come from small towns are the absolute best. They’re not hard to pick out of a crowd. They’re the ones who smile and wave in passing, hold doors for people behind them, and break the silence in a room full of strangers. Growing [...]
The concept of branding is really just putting a title on what content you produce. For example, Willie Nelson is that country singer who smokes a ton of weed and Paula Dean pretty much invented butter. If you follow me on Twitter, then you're already aware of the fact that my brand is me making [...]
I have been a pushover for as long as I can remember, but this last year I have gotten really good at using my new favorite word -- NO. I have always been happy to bite the bullet and go the extra mile for friends, family, or groups I was involved in, but was rarely [...]
As an intern, I learned a ton of valuable corporate lessons over the summer... June 10, 2019. It was somehow the first day of my internship and I had no idea where the past few months had gone. My mom had helped me move into my studio apartment, I had practiced the walk to work to ensure I would [...]
