Losing Control

Yesterday… I lost control. I let my anxiety get the best of me like I have so many times before. I let it wrap itself around me and smother me. Like a chain reaction, one bad event led to another and another until I felt completely helpless and out of control. Any trigger of stress or anxiety, big or small,...

Mid Year Check-In on my New Year’s Resolutions

Everyone sets them. No one keeps up with them. I don’t know about you — but 2013 has been FLYING by for me! We’re already half way through the year, and 2012 seems like ages ago.

Nothing says “You don’t live here any more” like a new internet...

What “Lean In” Means for Millennials

Three Things Everyone Should Do by 25

All my life, someone has been telling me what to do. When I was young, it was my Mother, and with the benefit of hindsight, I’ll admit she was right most of the time and had my best interests at heart. But as I grow up and am transitioning into the “real world” — as if the world I lived...

To those who have brightened MY journey…

I am feeling so many things right now, that a Facebook status just doesn’t suffice. I slept about 12 hours. I’m not sure if I’m SUPPOSED to sleep longer, but I can’t because I have so many emotions I need to get out, so many people to thank, and sooooo many pictures to upload! First of all thank you to...

My Road to THON

Save A few weeks ago, I was given the honor of being chosen as a dancer for THON 2012 as a representative for the Public Relations Student Society of America. For those...
