What The Biggest Loser Has Taught Me

A while back, I got rid of my cable subscription, leaving me with Netflix and Hulu. I really don’t have the time to watch anything live on TV, but sometimes I run out of things to watch. When I do, I skim through the services I have on my Apple TV to find something entertaining…

What Makes a Real Woman?

I don’t know why it took me so long to come to this odd realization, but it happened yesterday. I was watching The View (don’t judge – it was just on for background noise) and heard that Amy Schumer was bringing to light what it means to shop for clothes as a real woman. I’d heard…

The Best Accident

I’ve written before about Alpha Phi Omega, in a lot of ways, but for those of you tuning in, here’s what you missed: APO was an accident for me, in college. I was a freshman and attending as many interest meetings for clubs as I could, because that’s what you do as a freshman with…

Ready to Revamp

I finally took the leap and did something that has been on my list for a while now. It seems dumb, but (in simple terms) I took a little more control of my website from the little gnomes inside of WordPress.com and now it’s all on me. I’m being dramatic, and for many this is…

Halfway there! A review of PiYo

I’ve made it to month two of the 60-day PiYo program, so I wanted to do a quick little check in and share my journey so far! First, a quick rundown on what PiYo is. In a phrase, PiYo is the combination of pilates and yoga (GET IT? GET IT?!), meaning you’re not using weights…

Review: The Basics Notebook

In an effort to become more organized in work and life, I contributed to a Kickstarter Campaign for the Basics Notebook. It reminded me a little bit of those Passion Planners that are picking up steam, but less “dreamy” and more “do-y,” in a sense. Even though I have my own goals, I felt the…

Alpha Phi Omega’s All American Regionals

I’ve written before about my journey through Alpha Phi Omega, and this weekend, the story got a little bit longer thanks to our Regional event. These events are open to all members of Alpha Phi Omega, but the focus of the conference is really for current students. The two full days of sessions on communication,…

New Year, New…Nothing Please.

It’s my first blog post of 2016, and it’s tradition for me to read through my posts from the past year and try to better myself for the future. 2015 was quite the rollercoaster. I rang in the new year sitting on my couch by myself because I was still making friends (and, because I…
