1. “You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful.” – Amy Bloom 2. “To lose confidence in one’s body is to lose confidence in oneself” – Simone de Beauvoir 3. “There is NOTHING wrong with your body, but there is a LOT wrong with the messages that try to convince you otherwise” […]
Depression is real. Anxiety is real. Eating disorders are real. Mental Illnesses are real. Whilst the notion of being sick without having physical symptoms may be relatively new to societal acceptance, there is today (thankfully) little to no denying that a person can appear to be completely fine externally, but be simultaneously sick internally. The […]
I am a girl. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a niece. I am a friend. I am a cousin. I am a student. I am ambitious. I am optimistic. I am motivated. I am human. I am vulnerable. I am fierce. I am strong. I am a woman. Many of […]
Social media, as we all know, is both a blessing and a curse. The infinite connections sparked between people across oceans and countries carries with it the ability to talk, call, watch, listen and discuss issues and opinions endlessly. It allows us to express ourselves on a larger scale, a more creative platform; the chance […]
Let’s be real here, sororities have a pretty distinct reputation. I’m talking clicking fingers, blonde girls, low GPA’s, meaningless gossip and Barbie Doll physiques (only the hottest, of course).

1. The Intern (Because sometimes we all need a little Anne Hathaway in our lives): Oh my gosh! I’m so incredibly pumped about this movie. If you’re a fellow AnneHathaway-lover like myself, then you absolutely need to see The Intern. Anne stars as a CEO of a start up fashion […]
Being a perfectionist is a blessing and a curse. I’m very detail-oriented and responsible. I strive for excellence. I have big dreams for the future. Sounds like a good thing, right? But, I’m an over-thinker. I hyper-analyze and obsess about little details. I tend to fantasize and build up my expectations in any situation. Here’s […]
On Saturday it was October 3rd. And we all know what that means. Happy Mean Girls Day! I was supposed to be studying for midterms, but thinking about Mean Girls was way better! Believe it or not, its pretty easy to relate to Cady Heron (Lindsey Lohan). Remember Cady didnt know anybody her first day […]
The Power of Personal Branding It’s obvious you’re fit to lead…or else you wouldn’t be reading this right now!
