The cramming of stuffing and other Thanksgiving goodness has been replaced with the last minute cramming of material before the semester's end. I've done my fair share of studying this summer, so I've compiled a list of some of my favorite study spots in case you were looking for a change in studying scenery. Ebrik … Continue reading Atlanta’s Coziest Coffee Shops for Studying
How to Handle Heartbreak
For Halloween this year, I found inspiration in Lara Jean Covey from Jenny Han's To All the Boys I've Loved Before. Lara Jean is a high school junior who writes letters to boys she has intense feelings for to help process her feelings and keeps these letters in a box in her closet. 5 boys, … Continue reading How to Handle Heartbreak
It’s Always Been a Scary Time
Since school ended in May, I've been in my own bubble trying to figure out my life. In the last several weeks, my feed was flooded with posts about "Dr. Ford" and "Kavanaugh". I hadn't the slightest idea who these people were, and I felt stupid for being so absent from the outside world that … Continue reading It’s Always Been a Scary Time
The Entire History of You Through Me
Recently I came across a posting and I was so excited as I sent it to Lily: "I'm working on casting a feature film for Paramount Pictures, and we are in need of some REAL best friends to be featured in the film. We are looking for genuine people with a real history together. "Real … Continue reading The Entire History of You Through Me
Boston
For my last spring break ever, I wanted to travel to a new city instead of working at the nail salon like I've been doing since 9th grade. I had been talking about Nashville for several months, but we somehow decided on Boston, Massachusetts. Lily and I semi-spontaneously booked our flight in the middle of … Continue reading Boston
Doughnut Fiendin’ at Five Daughter’s
I thought my doughnut phase ended a while ago, but recently they've popped up in conversation. It started with a video about Ohio's 80 mile doughnut trail. You can grab a passport at any of the 12 shops along the trail, and once you collect stamps from 11 out of 12 locations, you get a … Continue reading Doughnut Fiendin’ at Five Daughter’s
My Dear Alpha Xi Delta
When I first went Alpha Xi, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had gotten out of a bad relationship I had been in since high school, and as a shy commuter student, I hadn't had the opportunity to make many friends. Since then, Alpha Xi Delta has significantly impacted my … Continue reading My Dear Alpha Xi Delta
Take Your Time
Have you ever met someone you instantly connected with? For some reason the two of you just click and you wonder to yourself "where have you been all my life"? Like peanut butter and jelly, your equally important contributions complement each other flawlessly as the conversation meanders, brushing by both casual and serious topics, but … Continue reading Take Your Time
Breathe and Let Go
It took a trip where I couldn't literally breathe (and post yoga talks and a This is Us episode) for me to realize the need to relinquish some control and figuratively breathe. Because there isn't another person to regularly turn to for consultation, I've been living my best life enjoying the complete freedom of being … Continue reading Breathe and Let Go
See, Say, Do Something
In a few months, my sister is going to start her first year of college. Since her acceptance, she and a few friends joined a chat group for newly accepted students to meet other incoming students. A group of guys (who were either older than they said or hadn't even been accepted to the school) … Continue reading See, Say, Do Something
