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. Friendships can be beautiful, but also complicated, and today we’re going to talk about that. From…

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.

“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…

Happy Valentine’s Day, loves! I hope your Valentine’s Day is full of joy and bliss. I hope you got your boo something for the day of love. Wait… You didn’t? Fear not, my friend; I am here to help you. I am going to provide you with a few ideas for that last-minute gift for…

While we find ourselves outside to enjoy the winter season to its fullest before it comes to a close, it’s advised to keep your safety, as well as others, in mind while exploring the snow-covered trails. As someone who hikes throughout the year, wintertime has been the most dangerous if one isn’t careful. Before heading…

We all have a Comfort Zone, a psychological state where we feel safe, at ease, and in control of the environment around us. It is within this Comfort Zone that we tend to avoid new experiences or challenges; instead, we stick to familiar activities.  These can include never missing a particular TV show, eating certain…
