Exploring a Change

Currently, I am a member of the President’s Leadership Program at my school. The program includes a leadership minor, community service requirements, community engagement, and study abroad opportunities. This week, I had a meeting with my PLP (Presidents Leadership Program) staff guide, where we discussed my current on-campus and community involvement, transition to college, and […]

An Ambitious Woman Who Cannot Be Bothered

There is very little that I look up to like a kick ass female. Yesterday at the gym, there were two profoundly sculpted and indisputably beautiful girls who were taking turns on the leg press. Sometimes, girls will parade around campus in blazers and pumps, looking business professional, all the while I admire their “bossery.” […]

For A Reason

They say “everything happens for a reason.” They also say “what goes around comes around.” These phrases imply that if you’re a good person, good things will come to you, and if you’re a bad person, bad things will come to you. This concept is also known as the Golden Rule or getting “a taste […]

You’re Not My Girl Boss!

Sometimes I hate this generation of avocado toast-eaters and instagram baddies. There are such unrealistic expectations that are implied by every snapchat story and instagram post. Until I remember that they’re just like me: human! We all try to be the girl that goes to the gym everyday, wakes up with perfect natural hair, and […]

Listen

I am a hypocrite. Every week, I sit down and try to write something inspiring about a circumstance in my life or a lesson to be learned from a mistake, but sometimes I can’t even find the silver linings that I propose. I’ve had a tough week; there was devastation in my family, goodbyes with […]

Here Is Why

In a sea of seven billion, feeling lost and purposeless is not a rare occurrence. As I prepare to leave for college, and quite possibly the biggest adventure in my life thus far, I’m left feeling extremely lost. What will make me so special from the hundreds of other people with my exact same degree? […]

Fighting the Funk

I’ve been in a funk. And no, not a cool “funky town” funk, a miserable “what is life” funk. Whenever I feel stressed, I typically just cry it out in a matter of five minutes and POOF, it’s over. But this feeling is not just stress; This feeling is hardcore anxiety that lingers regardless of […]

A Senior’s Perspective

My Advice to Rising Seniors Facing Fight or Flight Three months ago I graduated high school. Now I won’t lie, my high school experience was not perfect. I spent the last four years in a small private school where words traveled quick, and judgements followed even quicker. I put on many facades and went through […]

What I Learned: A Month of Kindness

This final month of December 2018, I took on the challenge of being kind. After seeing an Instagram story from my dear friend, Kolten (hey babe), in which he announced his participation in a kindness advent calendar, I thought “why not?” and decided to participate too. Every day until Christmas I have done each kind […]

All About ME

I’ve never know what I’m good at. In my youth, I was a prima ballerina. In my adolescence, I was a cheerleader. I even spent seventh grade trying my hand at playing soccer…I quit three days in. After my first breakup, I had every intention of being a songwriter. And now, well, who the hell […]
