I certainly had no idea what 2020 had in store for me. We started the New Year at a funeral actually, my aunt passed away from multiple myeloma around Christmas and it just felt very unexpected to me. Later in January, we celebrated our one year in New Hampshire. I started tracking my moods because…

Winter Bucket List
Since I almost finished my fall bucket list, maybe my winter one will finally be the one when I nail it all! I hate winter, but living in New England actually taught me to appreciate it a little more because if you don't embrace winter then you're sitting inside for 5 months straight. What are…
Making Time For Your Friends In Your 20’s
When I graduated college, my friends and I all cried over the fact that life would be so different without us living just a hallway away from each other. But I don't think I realized how different it would really be. We all have jobs and relationships. Some people have houses and dogs. Some of…

Stepping Back And Looking At The Positives
I think the last week aged me 20 years. Not only was it the busiest week at work that I will probably see all year, but I spent so much time glued to my phone refreshing for election results. And the news of Alex Trebek passing away was so upsetting. 2020 has just been such…

Getting Back Into The Gym After A Year Off
When we moved to New Hampshire, our apartment building had a gym in it. It was just two floors down from our apartment and we thought we hit the jackpot. But it was a small gym - a few cardio machines and free weights. It was pretty crowded and during COVID I didn’t feel comfortable…

Get Out And Vote
Four years ago, I was laying in bed as the swing states results came in and knew that we were in for a rough ride. It was an awful, pit in the stomach feeling. And I don’t want it to happen again. The last year has put a lot into perspective for me, a perspective…
6 Year Blogiversary
My blogiversary posts are getting kind of ~depressing~ because 6 years of blogging makes me feel SO old. I started my blog in college so I am just at a completely different point in my life. It's crazy to think about. A couple years in I started using my Instagram for blog-like things and that's…
The Struggle Of Being Sentimental
I've never had a good memory and I've never had a huge attachment to places. But if I have a token of a place or a photo of a time, then I'm able to remember the event more clearly. I collect things from important people and places I go and I've become very sentimental. I…
An Open Letter From A Millennial Who Didn’t Understand Why Anyone Would Want To Buy A House But Now Understands
I guess this is growing up. I've been pretty adamant the past couple years that I wouldn't be buying a house any time soon. Why would anyone settle down? Why wouldn’t you want to move constantly and explore? It’s because moving suckssssss. I've lived in 7 places in the last 5 years. At first, it…
Judge Less, Compliment More
Seriously, if everyone was as nice as the girls I run into drunkenly in the bar bathroom, my self-esteem would be through the roof. But it's not. It's not for most of us. We are constantly trying to live up to what we see on the magazine covers or on the popular Instagram pages. We…
