About three years ago, my mom asked me to keep an eye on my baby cousins in the pool. She immediately apologized, realizing I only had one eye with which to watch them. I didn’t even pick up on the irony of her remark until she apologized. I laughed and told her it was okay. [...]
Going abroad last fall to London was one of the most enriching experiences I could have ever asked for. Although I had spoken to several people who previously traveled and studied abroad, there were several things that were simply not discussed that I wish people had mentioned to me before I left. Here are just [...]
With the internship season starting soon, it is important to know a few things before you start your first day. For me, this will be my first official in-office internship, as I’ve had two virtual internships (including Get Smart!). I can’t wait to get started. Ask questions, ask questions, ask questions: Your supervisors want to [...]
In less than two weeks I will be a college graduate. It feels like just yesterday that I was moving into my freshman dorm with my new roommate (my current best friend who I still live with to this day) trying to figure out the best place for our TV. And just like that, four [...]
I will never fully understand why some people hold grudges or bad feelings toward another person. Or, in contrast, why people get so concerned and dismayed when they see you forgive someone.

For the anyone who has just met a milestone like a new job, your first time moving out, finishing that huge term paper, or finally accomplishing that do-it-yourself project that you’ve been putting off forth months...you met a goal. And, of course, “now what?” is the question that follows nearly every time an accomplishment comes into [...]
Spring has finally arrived: the grass becomes green again, flowers miraculously appear overnight, and the longer, brighter days make us feel as if summer isn’t really that far off after all. It’s easy to spend spring daydreaming about hot summer days spent basking in the sun, but with that frame of mind you’ll end up [...]
When I wake up in the morning, I’m not the most beautiful site. I don’t think any of us could really admit to looking 100% the moment we roll over to turn off our alarm and wipe the drool from our chin. I hardly ever want to get up from my super warm pillow infested [...]
