What Would You Tell Your College Self?

Friday, June 13th, 2008

If you could go back and tell your college self one thing, what would it be? About work, about life, about love, about career, about anything?
I’m speaking to a summer PR undergrad course, and though I’ve spoken to classes many times before, the professor for this class was so open with where she wanted me […]

The Power of Curious Blogging

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

I realized today that I’ve been blogging a while now. I’ve written a lot of different types of posts. Introspective, raw, terrified posts that have barred my innermost thoughts and fears to whoever cared to read them.

Personal PR & Identity Confessions of a Bride-to-Be

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Lately, I’ve been feeling like a lot of all the customs involved with “getting married” in America are nothing short of a big, pointless, hassle, consumerism at its most effective, emotionally-clad best.
