    My Top 5 Dream Graduation Gifts

    I’m graduating in less than a month. And even though that means I have some pretty great things to look forward to it also means that I’m leaving behind a pretty good life and some pretty good friends. And that’s the reason I’ve been sporadically crying for weeks a little bit upsetting. So instead I’m going to try to look on the bright side. I’m graduating. There will be a celebration. There will be a party. And that means there will be gifts.

    This Post-Grad Life: It’s All One Giant Balancing Act

    Lately, I’ll be honest, I’ve been finding it excruciatingly difficult to balance my personal life and spread myself evenly across everything I feel I need to do. I understand I can’t be good at everything (I learned that when I auditioned for choir….), but when it comes to balancing what’s important in my post-grad life, do I have to have to pick only one of the five things I want to excel in?

    This Post Grad Life: Great Expectations Lead to Great Disappointment

    Since graduating college, my personal expectations have turned backwards. That’s right – as a post-grad, I expect too much out of every beginning. I squeeze the shiz out of the orange before I can have a taste. It’s awful. I used to gain expectations through experience and now I have a ton of expectations before the experience. Result: I’m always disappointed.

    This Post Grad Life: Don’t Lose That Cocky Feelin’

    Alright post-grads, future post-grads, and people who think they are post-grads but are really just thirty-years-old and clinging on to their blissful youth. For some reason as a post-grad myself, I’ve found it easiest to write about things that depress me. I guess I just like an excuse to indulge in brownie sundaes nightly. But the truth is, the post-grad life isn’t depressing!

    This Post Grad Life: To Be Passionate Or To Be Practical?

    When I graduated, I was pushed into a world full of options. At first, I took all of the options, put them in a sack that was my mind and tried them on one by one. But as time went on, I realized one thing: I needed to do something that struck my passionate heart strings. I knew I could deal with whatever my occupation tossed me from then on if I had a big crush on it.

    Just last February, I was planning my 21st birthday party. Now, I’m facing 22 (or as I like to call it 21+1) straight on. Even though the last twelve months have gone by, it feels like just yesterday I was indulging in jello shots and margaritas. For my 21st.

    Birthday Faves: 11 Things You Can’t Get Away With in the Real World

    If there’s one thing we all know (but often try to deny), it’s that college is basically it’s own little universe. It’s that beer-drinking, bar-hopping, Cliff Notes-reading, coffee-chugging “safe haven” between the comfort of your parents’ home and that place everybody calls “the real world.” And unfortunately, we all know that “real world” is much less exciting than MTV moguls would like us to believe.

    The Senioritis Bucket List

    Remember Freshman year when every upper classmen you knew said “treasure the next four years, they go by so fast.” Well not to sound like a broken record…but they kind of do. I’m entering my last semester of college and this huge list of things I had planned on doing before graduating has kind of well, not been tackled at all.
