Less than two weeks ago I texted two friends asking them if they had apartment recommendations. Yesterday I signed my lease.

Moving is a huge deal for me. I moved back in with my parents after graduating college over two years ago. The intent was always to move after tw...

Just like everyone else in the world, I've spent a lot of time since the new year thinking about the past year, and what I want my life to look like moving forward. I wouldn't call it human nature, but it's certainly a cultural expectation to set goals and resolutions...

This week was HARD. It was meeting after meeting, practice after practice, lesson after lesson. I don't know what it was about this week, but it was crazy for everyone I work with. It's weeks like these make it crucial to take time to clarify why it is you do what you...

Listen. We all deserve a pep talk. Life is hard. I don't care who you are, how old you are, how much money you have, everybody's got real stuff to deal with. With what's going on in the world today, even what's going on in our country (HONESTLY, WHAT THE WHAT), it's ea...

Everyone knows that I'm a workaholic. Since my return from Europe I've spent hours upon hours working. Which, for most is normal, but seeing as I have two months off of work every summer, I could definitely be doing a lot less. No matter how much work I do, I have this...
