So I've had an iPhone now for almost 3 years. It took me a while to plug into the smartphone trend. Would you believe my mom got an iPhone before I did? Yeah, weird. In any case, I got my first iPhone, the 4, in 2012 and upgraded this past year to an iPhone 5s. … Continue reading My Essential iPhone Apps
My Blogging 101 Experience
For the past four weeks I was part of WordPress.com's Blogging University: Blogging 101 program, a neat little class on learning some basics about blogging along with some prompts/assignments for getting started on blogging. Though I have actually been blogging causally for a few years now, I wanted to take this course for a way … Continue reading My Blogging 101 Experience

The Hunger Games [book review]
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins My rating: 5 of 5 stars. Okay, I know I'm behind in reading this book, but to be fair I had planned on reading the books before I saw the first movie. It just so happened that a friend of mine was in town for one day and had … Continue reading The Hunger Games [book review]
The Friday Five: Blogger Love v.2
Friday again! Wow, this week went by fast despite being home for two days because of our snowstorm here in New England.

Problems of Being Short
I know it's fairly common for girls to be short, however, I seem to always be surrounded by taller girls. Taller girls can find a pair of jeans that actually fits them length-wise and shirts that aren't too long on them. Me? I have to scavenge the petite section looking for a decent-looking pair of jeans … Continue reading Problems of Being Short
First Step Toward My Future
It's less than four months until I graduate college. Less. Than. Four. Months. There's a possibility that a part of my brain is still in denial that come May, I will actually be walking the stage and leaving the school I've been at for the past three years to enter the real world. There's also … Continue reading First Step Toward My Future
I Just Wanted My Mom
'It's real hot in here.' 'It's getting hard to breathe.' 'I think I'm going to be sick.' I ran out of the room thinking I was about to do exactly that, get sick all over the floor of the hallway as I exited the gallery in search for the bathroom or even to get outside for … Continue reading I Just Wanted My Mom
End the Stigma: Let’s Talk About Mental Health
Mental health... it's something that we try to avoid in our conversations. But how can you avoid something if you're living with it? You can't. Sure, you might not talk about it, but the fact of the matter is, talking about it is what we need to do. Jack Harries says it well in his … Continue reading End the Stigma: Let’s Talk About Mental Health

The “Common White Girl” Post
"How do we know you had Starbucks unless you took a picture of it?" And now you know I had Starbucks the other day.
If I Stay [book review]
If I Stay by Gayle Foreman My rating: 5 of 5 stars. I can honestly say that I probably would not have picked up this book if I hadn't seen the movie trailer earlier this past summer. I knew I had to read it first because that's how I prefer to do things; read it, then … Continue reading If I Stay [book review]
