ADVICE

When I started my first big girl job, I kept a few essentials in my bag that have seriously saved my life. Starting a new job can be intimidating, but being prepared helps you have the confidence to take on whatever insanely long email thread comes your way.

These five simple things aren’t about being perfect or having it all together - they’re about feeling a bit more intentional, calm, and put-together in your own life.

As a recent grad, I sometimes feel like I should always have plans, events, or something major in my near future to look forward to. . But I’m slowly reminding myself that life isn’t actually about the big moments – sometimes it’s all about slowing down, sipping your coffee in peace, or sitting down and enjoying watching the sunset without feeling like you need to be somewhere else.

First date nerves are extremely normal. Here's how to beat them with one simple tip!

Remember when Halloween used to feel like the most magical night of the year? Your family would take you costume shopping at Party City before, you’d run around door to door with your best friends, and your biggest priority of the night was getting as much candy in your Trick or Treat basket as possible. Now it’s about the outfits, the plans, and staying out late. And sometimes, it feels like the magic got a little lost as we grew up. 

In a world driven by trends, overconsumption, and constant comparison, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. I often catch myself fixated on the next item on my wishlist or what someone else has, celebrities, influencers, even friends, forgetting to pause and appreciate what I already do have. Gratitude, though simple in theory, can be grounding in a culture that always asks for more. 

I’d try to understand what I did wrong or how I could’ve shown up better. But what I have started to realize is: sometimes, it’s not you at all. Sometimes, people are just projecting their own pain.

I realized it’s time to start listening to my own words more. So here are some of the pieces of advice I truly believe in but often forget to live by:

It’s officially fall, and when the leaves start to turn, we know it’s time for pumpkin spice lattes, rewatching Gilmore Girls, and unfortunately the sudden panic that maybe I should get my life together again

I realized holding grudges was only weighing me down, and the moment I chose to forgive and forget I finally felt free.

In my freshman year of college, I began to understand the true disadvantage my fears had imposed on me. College is the time of your life to step out of your comfort zone, and I knew that. I knew that I wanted to grow and thrive in my classes and projects, but my limiting habits in high school had made that desire seem daunting and hard to attain. When I found it hard to speak in my mandatory seminar classes, I knew change was necessary.

Bookworms, our time has come. Fall marks an exciting time of year for us girls who like to cozy up with a good autumnal read (bonus points if it’s a comfort read). It’s the season to sit by the window and watch the leaves dwindle down along with the pages of our books. To fill the air with ambrosial scents and allow ourselves an escape from all of the chaotic fall-time festivities. 

Your first fall after graduation hits differently. For the first time in your life, there are no professors, no syllabus laying out your next few months, and no script telling you what to do next. At first, that unfamiliar blank space can feel scary and intimidating, but it’s also the best part. You finally get to design life on your own terms – your own path, your own “post-grad syllabus.”  

Somewhere along the way, the internet decided that waking up at 5am was the ultimate personality trait.

If any of this sounds familiar to you, I think I may know what you are going through. These feelings and questions that you are asking yourself seem to signal some form of dislike for your friend’s significant other.

Think of it as a seasonal glow-up: new energy, new goals, but the same you! Just a little softer, cozier, and more grounded. 

Throughout the arguably most transformative years of your life, it is crucial to stay on top of your tasks, commitments, and responsibilities to be the best version of yourself. Here are a couple of tips to set yourself up for success for this upcoming school year!

As summer comes to an end, you may feel as though a chapter of your life is closing. The leaves are beginning to turn golden, the sky fading to orange sooner in the day. It is the time to prepare for a new era, to throw on your cozy sweaters, to break out your favorite fall movies and shows.

As fall 2025 recruitment kicks off, tens of thousands of college freshmen are anxiously waiting to see which chapter they will run “home” to. With sorority recruitment, there comes a lot of stress, long days, and moments of uncertainty especially since many are still transitioning from high school to college.

I used to think the worst feeling in the world was being left out. Turns out, it’s actually saying no to plans and then spending the next three hours spiralling, convinced everyone hates you.

Start prioritizing yourself, and not caring what other people think of you! Here are 10 ways to help guide you to this mindset: 1.  Know Yourself: Figure out your values, passions, and goals. When you're clear on who you are, opinions matter less. An idea for this is vision boards. Vision boards help "organize” your goals and thoughts inside your brain. They’re super easy and a fun girls-night DIY to make

So, it finally happened. The lease has been signed, the hunt on FaceBook Marketplace is (almost) complete, and the new roommate group chat is in full swing for this upcoming semester. Girls, this is cause for a huge celebration. Take it from someone who knows, living with your besties will be just as exciting– if not more– than you are already anticipating it to be. 

Forget the fairy lights and cute planners - these are the real lifesavers. From hallway towel dramas to mystery fluff on your clothes, here are 5 things that got me through first year (that no one warned me about).

Not everyone will clap when you win, even if they love you. And that’s okay. Protect your peace, choose who you share things with, and never dim your light just to keep someone else comfortable.

As we enter our young careers, we’re faced with way more no’s than yes’s. The no’s feel loud and overwhelming, as if they’re defining our futures before they’ve even begun.

It’s more than okay to have a “normal” summer. Staying in your hometown, working at your local coffee shop, going on a family holiday, or just chilling.

Here’s everything I learned watching her class, lessons every Gen Z girl needs if you're serious about becoming that girl in your industry

Graduating high school, entering college, graduating college, entering new love relationships can all lead to friendship fade outs. Times change and maybe you and a friend don't seem to be on the same wavelength anymore and that's ok! I think growing up we all believed that the friends we made in high school will be forever, and while that may be true for some friendships, it's not for all.

As summer rolls around and Mother’s Day is now a couple weeks behind us, it is time to turn our attention towards the father figures we have in our lives. Every article, news outlet, and restaurant is buzzing about Mother’s Day every year when it comes around, but Father’s Day does not get the same treatment. There is a reason there are days for both parents and it is time that everyone starts treating Father’s Day with the respect it deserves. This year there will be no

College is one of the most growing experiences of your life…this is good and hard. I don’t know if I’d be the woman I’m becoming today without college, but I won’t say that college didn’t take a toll on me, especially in terms of mental health and wellbeing.

Summer is always an exciting time. Yet, as a college student heading home for the summer can be overwhelming. There is a lot of moving, changing of schedule, seeing old friends, working, and even possibly summer school. Yet, the warm sunny days in my small hometown are high up on my things I love. I have always viewed summer as a time of growth, reset, and a high UV index.

Now that I’m about to graduate college, I’ve been reflecting on my college experiences. One of the earliest ones that comes to mind is my experience joining a sorority. I hope my experience can provide you with another side of the “to bid or not to bid” debacle.

This year, I’m arriving with a softer heart and a clearer mind. I’m not chasing perfection anymore—not in my plans, my body, or my relationships. I’m letting go of timelines and letting the sun guide me instead.

Okay, so I just finished listening to this episode of the Nicky at Night podcast that totally opened my eyes to something I hadn't really thought about before. It’s all about how marketing has completely turned “hotness” into a business model.

As April creeps up to an end, so does the start of May, and what that means for people aged 17-18 is that Decision Day is upon us. As someone who went through this exact process almost a year ago today, I know how it feels to anxiously wait for the response of your dream school, and how it feels to get an answer you didn’t want. In honor of the season, I would like to share my college decision journey in hopes that it will ease someone else’s anxiety and heartache.

As I sit here in my freshman year dorm only three weeks from being done with my freshman year of college, I want to share my experience coming out on the other side of my first year of college.

I couldn’t help but wonder… when did summer become less about sun-soaked escapes and more about self-loathing?

Fear no longer—here’s a how-to guide for dealing with your not-so-great roommates (coming from a highly qualified person as I have had my fair share of roommate horror stories).

If you’re anything like me, you’re a senior…about to graduate college…and you have no clue what the rest of your life is going to look like.

Mother’s Day (May 11) is coming up fast, and if your mom is anything like mine... she is hard to shop for.

I stumbled across a reel on @gracebeverley’s Instagram the other day, and honestly? It’s been living rent-free in my head ever since.

Graduating from college is beyond exciting, but it can also bring feelings of stress.

Dating right now might be harder than it has ever been before.

Romanticizing school might seem like an easy thing to do, but changing my mindset is something I’m still trying to get better at.

Spring is personally one of my favorite seasons of the year.

Unless you count my boyfriend from middle school, I’ve been single for twenty-two years.
