Tweet It’s a sort of silly tradition in my house that each New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day we go back over the year and talk about our high points and low points. I’m always amazed at how many things I forget- both good and bad! A lot sure does happen in a year

Blogging to Find and Create Your Personal Brand
Tweet Since I started BrandKit over a year ago it has gone through so many changes and directions (probably thousands if you could see inside my head!) and now as we start on year 2 I think I’ve finally found the niche and need it should fill. BrandKit isn’t going to be a replacement for

Adulthood = Independance
Tweet I’ve been out of school for almost six months now and it’s just starting to sink in. I never have to go back to school again (unless I want to get my masters or PhD). That chapter of my life is officially over and for the past few months I have been transitioning into

A Fond Farewell to Blogging
Tweet Dearest readers of the Next Step Chronicles: I regret to inform you that this will be my final entry here at the Next Step Chronicles. Sixteen weeks somehow disappeared before my very eyes and my BrandKit journey has rapidly drawn to a close. Bittersweet, really. Interestingly, I just happen to be in Boston for

Lessons For My Future Self
Tweet This letter is to my future self, kind of like a short term time capsule. It may seem a little intimate, but thats how I like to talk to my hypothetical future self. Hey loser-nerd-brosef, It’s probably been a strange, long time, since you’ve thought of me. I’m you, from the past. You’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),

What Is My Next Step?
Tweet Most people have a life plan that they try to follow. I used to be one of those people until I realized that life gets in the way of the plan on a daily basis. Things change, stuff goes wrong, and the plan changes. I know this because my plan has been changing every

I’m a Planner who Doesn’t Have a Plan for Life After College
Tweet As a 20-something, almost college graduate, I find myself contemplating multiple times per day what I will be doing with my life after I walk across that long stage and turn my tassel to the other side of my mortar board. I will walk out of that auditorium, and not return for quite a

Questions About Post-Grad Life
Tweet I’m a May 2011 grad with a BFA in Graphic Design. I just was hired at a local newspaper, owned by the Hearst Corporation, about six months ago. I’m a designer, photographer, web/social media “dabbler” in the Magazine Division of the newspaper. I feel like I’ve done everything I was ever supposed to do.

Curiosity: It’s a Love Hate Thing
Tweet Curiosity. It’s a beautiful thing. And yet, I wish it would hurry and take tangible form so I may wring the life out of it. I blame curiosity for both complicating and enriching my 22 years of life so far. Without it, I wouldn’t have had the motivation to make the most of my
