Why Didn’t Anyone Teach Us How To Create Work-Life Balance?

It’s more than no work communication outside 9-5 and unlimited vacation time. I graduated in May 2019. Over the last couple weeks, I’ve had conversations with close friends about this post-grad life we’ve been living for about a year and a half. Most of these conversations have centered around the idea of the “dream job”Continue reading “Why Didn’t Anyone Teach Us How To Create Work-Life Balance?”

WONDER — SHAWN MENDES

It was no surprise when Shawn Mendes’s fourth album dropped at midnight last Friday. The last time I saw this much press for something was… well, I really can’t think of a time I saw more press for anything.

Some of these aren’t necessarily learned but lessons reiterated this year.  I won’tContinue reading “20 Things I’ve Learned In 2020”

After my freshman year of high school, my two cousins and I flew from Chicago to LA for a long weekend that just happened to be the same weekend One Direction’s debut tour passed through the City of Angels. This was the beginning of my interest in the group which has sustained until now — nearly 10Continue reading “Harry Styles & Niall Horan: An Emotional Maturity Scale”
