A Love Letter to Physical Media That’s Worth Keeping.

Here are a few hobbies to look into that feel like love letters to your inner child.

You can tell yourself it won’t happen. You’re only home for a few days. You don’t even go out like that anymore. You’ll avoid the usual spots. You’ll keep your head down. And yet. Running into your ex situationship is basically a hometown rite of passage. It’s not dramatic. It’s not fate. It’s just what happens when you go back to a place where your life used to overlap with theirs. So instead of being shocked when it happens, it’s better to be prepared. Because the worst par

Somewhere along the way, the internet convinced us that friendship only “counts” if it comes in a group chat with a cute name, coordinated birthday dinners, and seven people in vaguely matching outfits. But life isn’t an episode of Outer Banks. And your worth isn’t measured by headcount.

Pilates was never really about exercise. It’s about community. Let’s get into it.

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.
