Grateful to Have a Place Called Home, Wherever That May Be
Tweet Through the course of one’s life, you come across a variety of experiences depending on many different factors. Where you live, what your family is like, the values and morals your family has, your childhood, your family’s financial situation, etc., all have an affect over how you will live your life, whether you like

Why I’m Thankful and Staying Motivated
Tweet Recently, I was watching the movie Se7en (a movie you should definitely put on your to-watch list), and I heard the following revealing quote. Morgan Freeman, a jaded homicide cop states this fact, “The first thing they tell women in rape prevention is to yell “FIRE” not “HELP.” Nobody comes to “HELP,” but if

Giving Thanks, Without the Turkey
Tweet Being grateful, recalling all of the blessings in one’s life, is so often disregarded. I know I’ve taken way too many things in life for granted, especially the little things. The food I eat every night, the warm bed I sleep in — even the air conditioning in the blazing summertime. What we see

Stronger Is The Song to Best Describe My Life Right Now
Tweet I feel like all of my posts thus far have been uber serious and depressing. I hope you don’t think that’s all my life is! While trying to think of a fun, upbeat song that describes me right now, I couldn’t help but keep coming back to “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson. First of all,

I’m Just A Girl Looking For My Tiffany’s
Tweet Breakfast at Tiffany’s has always been one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn films. Holly Golightly is such an intriguing character, and I love the sights of 1960s New York City. My favorite part of the whole movie is the beginning when Holly Golightly and her new neighbor Paul Varjak meet. Paul asks Holly if

Message from a Country Goddess: Play On
Tweet Hello from St. Martin! I’m concluding Day 3 here in paradise and all I’ve got to say is WOW. Gorgeous beaches, cloudless skies and piña coladas make me a SUPER happy girl. I’m finally getting the rest and relaxation I’ve been desperately seeking the last few months. It. Is. FABULOUS. Now that I’ve had

I Want To Be A Part Of It: New York, New York
Tweet Like many twenty-somethings, I grew up watching the TV show Friends. I watched them live in New York City and I always thought, “That’s what I want.” I want to live in an eclectic apartment like Monica’s, have a great job like Rachel (when she worked for Ralph Lauren, not when she was a waitress),

My Ideal Job: Being On The Go
Tweet I’ve become accustomed to always being on the go. I go from class to work to class to work to home to work to home to sleep, every day. I don’t think I would be able to handle anything other than that kind of lifestyle, which is perfect because my dream job is to
