It is not fun to worry about money. I’ve been fortunate throughout my “adulthood” that I can afford rent, food, entertainment, and everything else, but from time to time, my spending gets away from me and I suddenly feel tight for cash. It’s probably because my roommate won’t pay rent. Silly kitty. I have been a…
I apologize, millions of dedicated followers (hah) for falling off the grid. I genuinely wanted this post to be eloquent and enlightening, but truly, my brain can’t wrap itself around anything for extended periods of time. SO. Here’s what’s on my mind lately. Running and being stupid about it. Unsurprisingly, I pushed myself too hard and…
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…
I was chatting with a friend yesterday about work. We graduated in the same year (2013) and both of us started working after that. We compared stories about our first jobs – yep, we had already moved on to different places in the three years we’ve been out of college – and about the work environment…
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…
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…
Yep, I’m going to stretch “new year new ____” as long as humanly possible. Hate it? Don’t care! I work a lot with students, talking about a professional online presence. I tell them about what’s good and bad to post on Facebook (hint, those pictures of you drunk at that party probably aren’t the best…
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,…
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…
I wrote the below post on August 6th, 2015. It has been sitting in my draft since, because I couldn’t get myself to click the Publish button. I wanted some sort of resolution or helpful conclusion, but I couldn’t find one. I’m not sure if now, three months later, what I’ve found is my resolution, but I…
