    Becoming a Good Enough-ist

    September 11, 2019 /

    Becoming a good enough-ist has allowed me to grow and learn and be the best I can be, being a perfectionist only made me a stagnated, selfish and unreasonable person. Now, perfectionism isn't "good enough" for me.

    Make it a Habit: How To Consume Media Critically and Carefully

    July 22, 2019 /

    As we get closer to the 2020 election and potential presidential candidates are out campaigning, we are sure to start hearing conflicting stories, dissenting opinions, and mudslinging (something that has happened for hundreds of years in politics). I am someone who works in media (broadcast, and now formerly print) and consumes media, I can confidently say that how we consume media and where we get it is important to how we form opinions and arguments (which are not the same thing BTW). Something I hear all the time in class, at work, and in social settings is that the media is evil and has an agenda. While yes there is…

    Why I am Becoming a Minimalist

    January 14, 2019 /

    I used to be a maximalist through and through, I thought there was some kind of prestige in having a shit-ton of things. I have realized through minimalism that the number of things you own doesn't make you better or worse than anyone else. I am becoming a minimalist because its what is truly comfortable for me.

    Update On My Nail Biting Habit

    January 9, 2019 /

    My original goal was to go 90 days without biting or chewing before I considered my habit broken. I restarted my 90 days on November 29, so I'm 41 days in. I already decided though, that if I can go 90 days without biting or chewing my nails, I'm still going to extend my goal 90 more days. I really want to break this habit and be done with it.

    My Favorite Things About Winter

    December 31, 2018 /

    I hope everyone is as excited for the new year as I am! As I promised in My Favorite Things About Fall post, I am blogging about my favorite things about winter. I love winter, it’s my favorite time of the year and there are so many reasons why. I included my top five in this list so this post didn’t become a 30 page essay on why I love winter. Without further ado, let’s get into it.

    How I Became More Comfortable and Confident Wearing What I Want to Wear

    October 13, 2018 /

    Finding yourself and knowing how you want to present yourself is one step to simplifying your life. When you know your style and have items you love, you spend a lot less time figuring out what to wear, shopping, and purging your closet over and over again.

    Discover The Life You Want To Live

    July 19, 2018 /

    How well do you know yourself? Are you living the life you want to live? Is your life really complicated and difficult right now? Am I living the Life I want to Live? I used to think I was the worst kind of blank slate, that I lacked genuine personality, and was a completely different person depending on who I was with. I also used to want a life that, I realize now, is overly complicated and would not make me happy. Until recently, I was moping about how busy my life is and how hard it was to get up in the morning and to not let go of everything. I…
