You’ve responded to all the emails, remembered your friend’s baby shower gift (barely), and meal-prepped like the productive queen you are. But suddenly it hits you, it’s August, your toes haven’t touched sand, and your passport is starting to judge you from the drawer. You, my…

Sometimes it’s a sweaty, chafey, sunscreen-in-your-eye adventure where your thighs are on fire and your hair has decided to rebel like it’s 2007 again. And yet… there’s something…

I laughed and cried and changed more in my twenties than I ever thought possible. I got married. I moved away from my hometown and back again twice…

Over the past few months, we’ve talked about improving our relationships with ourselves and developing romantic connections, but we haven’t touched on friendships.

This image was taken by Lauren DeSantis. I am not entirely sure how to go about writing advice like this. There is a HerCampus magazine chapter at my university where my fellow women write fun advice articles like “top ten songs” or “absolute skincare musts,” which I read as often as I eat breakfast during…

For better or worse, my mom let me watch a lot of (edited!) Sex and the City when I was a teenager. Of course, it was the safe-for-network television version on E!, so I never saw anything spicy until I rewatched it in my 20s, but that’s not what has stuck with me throughout my…

Happy Springtime, loves! Oh, how I have a love-hate relationship with spring. I love the season for its vibrant color palettes, the joy of sundresses, and, in my younger years, the excitement of spring break. And, of course, there’s nothing like a springtime romance. But on the flip side, I hate allergies. And when I…

Whether right or wrong, this is purely my perspective or, as Tony Robbins would call it, my hallucination.  And as my father, who is crude in his humor, would say, opinions are like assholes; everyone has one. Women are supposed to be strong. Whether it is the truth or not, that is what society says…

“The day you stop racing is the day you win the race.” This is the quote I read at 4 A.M. while scrolling through Instagram, which, perhaps, changed my life.  As a teenager, everybody around me, including myself, is always concerned with who I want to become. We’re too invested in who we will be…
