I’ve definitely been living my best life so far in 2022, from the Jason Bateman weekend of weekends to seeing some of the biggest shows on Broadway. The one thing I hadn’t thought twice about in years has raised some eyebrows from the people around me, though. Could I really be doing these things alone?…

What the 2020?
I definitely think 2020’s reputation precedes it at this point in the year. If bad things are supposed to come in threes, someone must explain to me how we’ve accumulated 798 of them since just mid-March. And yet, somehow we’ve miraculously made it what, in my humble opinion, is the best part of the year…the…
My First Vlog!
Check it out! Went for something new and decided to create a video entry this time from my new Austin apartment. Enjoy! My First Vlog!
Keep it friendly, Houston!
I recently came upon this article ranking the states from least to most friendly. Turns out, I unknowingly moved from one of the friendliest states in the country to two of the least friendliest. Smack dab at the bottom of the list (as in, the least friendliest state of all) is New York. And at…
4 Life Lessons in 4 Years
I’m back in Houston after almost exactly 4 years away. So much has changed in that time, it’s almost hard to wrap my head around. I’m certainly not the same person who left in September 2015. It’s almost like I went off to college and came back older and ever so slightly wiser, learning some…

Here are just a few of the withdrawals I’ve experienced so far (I think some might be considered more deposits than withdrawals, but you get the idea): Grocery…
1 Year in NYC
This is my last week in NYC. As I've been thinking of all of the amazing things I’ve seen and done since moving here last September, I wanted to commemorate the highlights here as well. So, here is my year in NYC by the numbers: 2 jobs 5 apartments viewed in 1 afternoon before selecting…
Started from Seattle, now we’re here
When I accepted my new job in NYC last August, I had a matter of weeks to wrap up my PNW chapter and get across the country. So much to do, so little time! There was no way I was going to pay to move any furniture from Seattle to New York. I’d done that…
Have a little faith (in myself)
When it feels like everything’s going wrong, we have a pretty good idea that something needs to change. When everything’s going along perfectly fine, though, we tend to go with the flow – or even scarier, become complacent without even realizing it. There’s no need to rock the boat when it’s smooth sailing, is there?…
