Two posts in one day?! I wasn’t kidding about blogging like mad this month! This video actually took two tries to film because I wanted to give y’all the best advice I could. There’s just so many things I wanted to say! My Recruitment Look Book was a hit last year. And since I’m...
Today my roomie Brooke and I filmed this fun ‘who knows who better challenge’ video and I think it turned out really cute! We answered a bunch of questions about each other to see who’s the better friend. Watch til the end to see who wins the challenge! This will be our third year...

I'm talking about my own experience as a perfectionist, and how shifting perspectives can help solve the 'problems of perfectionism', especially as a...
To my dearest Second Year of College, Thank you, Second Year. You have been a trip. But all trips must come to an end. You’ve taken me into my 20th year of life and through my last full year of ‘the college experience’, and while you weren’t the easiest year to live with, I’m...
