Look For a Partner

One of the most important things in a relationship is to always be on each other’s team. This may seem obvious to some people but to others, the ones who always feel like they’re fighting a losing battle, to the ones that are in strained relationships, the ones who are ready to give up.. don’t.

Don’t Let Them Change You

You know, I think I’m going to turn last week’s post into an ongoing theme and try to post weekly. This is a result of an extremely boring Monday evening class. Thanks, grad school for increasing my blog reads!! One of the most disappointing things that I constantly see are beautiful, wonderful people who enter […]

It’s All About the Butterflies

I’ve been handing out relationship advice for a long time now and recently someone asked me what in the world qualified me to do so. My answer was simple (and brilliant): I’m quite good at learning from my mistakes. But then I really got to think about it and the answer is actually the opposite. […]

Day to Day

Oftentimes we go through each of our days without any particular goals  or dreams in mind. We’re just kind of rolling along in life. I think this is probably most common while you’re a student and while you’re somewhere in the middle of your career. Everything just kind of… goes. And instead of trying to […]

A Brand New World….

Let’s talk about those times when you re-enter the dating world. I feel like there’s now a series of steps involved that everyone dreads and tries to avoid as much as possible but it’s inevitable – so I say.. RIP THE BAND- AID OFF! 1) You have to do the facebook relationship status change. Oh […]

Your Social Identity

I feel like social identities have become a particularly interesting topic in the last few weeks as people have completed or not completed the ice bucket challenge for ALS. I have to disclaim the rest of this post by saying that I support absolutely any method of fundraising for charities that anyone can come up […]

The “thing” About Losing Weight

So I’ve never been very heavily overweight, but at the same time I’ve never been happy looking into the mirror. I’ve spent my whole life being “average” and I think my body image translated into other elements of my life. I’ve been ‘average’ at everything – work, school, relationships, Never bad but never great either. […]
