Follow my adventures as a college senior in the sunshine state (of mind).
Each week seems to fly by faster than when the Red Line T races past me on the tracks and makes my hair go everywhere. It’s crazy to think I’ve now been here for more than a month—which, in the grand scheme of things, is a relatively short time—and how much I’ve done and learned […]
The past few weeks in Boston have brought lots of writing, editing, exploring and intern adventures. Here’s what I’ve been up to, what I’m thinking about, working on and looking forward to! My days at the Her Campus office are very busy—and so much fun. Every day is a little different depending on my schedule […]
My first week of interning and living in Boston is somehow already complete—and even though this is still just the beginning of my summer, I already have so much to say! From cozy rides on the T (with someone’s friendly-but-sweaty golden retriever rubbing against my leg) and late-night fire alarms (everything/everyone was okay—apparently a resident […]
If my life were a movie, this would be the overly dramatic punchline: “After months of mental preparation, 20-year-old college girl from Florida arrives in Boston with three duffel bags of Space Bag-sealed clothes, her laptop and a dream.” Okay, key phrase: overly dramatic. Since my life isn’t a movie and I don’t go about […]
Two years ago, I was a high school senior on the cusp of graduation and a whole lot of new beginnings. Now, I am less than two weeks away from being a rising junior (!!!) on the cusp of so much more than I can imagine as I write this. With my sophomore year at the […]
I promise – this is not the typical “My semester is going by WAY too fast!” post. (OK, maybe there is a little bit of that.) Tonight (or this morning?), I’m bringing you my latest thoughts about life at the corner of orange and blue. In my social psychology class, I have been learning about the concept of “possible selves.” It’s […]
Some parts of this semester did feel like a dream. In the intense, laser-focused atmosphere of finals week, it’s easy to get so caught up in the stress of studying and the excitement of wanting to be done with exams that the memories from the semester mesh together in a blur. Remember in elementary school when the […]
I am turning 20 in less than a week. I know most people my age don’t really consider a person’s 20th birthday to be a milestone (in the United States, at least). However, I think age 20 is a pretty big deal. I’ve been alive for two decades. Two decades! As my Nana would say, “Isn’t that something?” The big “2-0” is not something […]
Just like that – my first full month of sophomore year has come and gone. September has brought exams, lots of writing and a lot of sweat, to say the least. It’s “fall” in Florida – a.k.a. people are excited about eating, living and breathing pumpkin spice everything and wearing jeans (a death wish), but it’s actually still 90º. […]
I spent Labor Day Weekend in the charming and historical city of St. Augustine, Florida. Though this post is a little overdue, I wanted to share a little bit about my road trip adventures! Located about an hour and a half outside of Gainesville, St. Augustine is the closest beach area to the Gator Nation. Thanks to my friend McKenna and […]
