Wow, is it really 2013 today? When I was younger, growing up in the 90′s (the good old days), I used to refer to the far-away future by saying something like “…yeah, maybe in 2013″ as if it was unimaginable to even think I’d be alive to see a year that far away. Realistically, it … Continue reading »
I’ve been an official New York City resident for a little under two months now, but this is my second round living the life as a working New Yorker. I was here three years ago as an intern at Marie Claire magazine, and it was the most magical experience of my life. To this day, I refer … Continue reading »
In my head I’ve always pictured school as this tentative ladder we were all climbing — it started from Pre-k and went up to college (for the general population). Some people’s ladders broke before the end, and some people’s got more rungs added as time went on, but for the most part — this was … Continue reading »
In recent years I’ve come to realize that people are a little surprised when they meet me because I get very comfortable with them — and very quickly. It’s just the way I always have been — a personality quirk — you could call it. But, alas, it’s the way I am and how I’ll … Continue reading »
It’s been a rough few years for those in the job market. Finding a job is more like winning the lottery, and those who have won have no idea how lucky they are. Being qualified, working hard, and being proactive are almost blanket adjectives to describe the thousands out there still working to find work. … Continue reading »
A recent study by The Wellcome Trust had me reeling the other day. We all know the countless germs we pass on from our hands to objects that we touch on a minutely basis (and vice versa): doorknobs, keyboards, remotes, and of course — our phones. But, can you think of something else very dirty … Continue reading »
Everyone has felt that feeling when someone says the same thing to you over and over again about a personality trait or characteristic that you should “work on” and you feel like screaming, “I can’t help it!” But isn’t it funny that we pass this attack onto the next person until it becomes a vicious … Continue reading »
Aren’t people funny in that we are all guilty of the same bad habits, unhealthy actions, and “secret” faults – and yet we go on pretending like we are not “those people.” We point fingers at each other when we know our 3rd grade teachers were right — we’re only pointing three back to ourselves! As … Continue reading »
As much as growing up has its benefits (driving, dating, money-making, etc), it’s been a lifelong debate who wins for living a rockstar’s life: babies or adults? Sure, opportunities are abundant when you’ve mastered the art of dumping your own refuse (no pun intended) in the loo and when you have finally learned how to … Continue reading »
The world fell in love with her as the awkward, girl-next-door/happens-to-be-princess Mia Thermompolis in “Princess Diaries.” Anne Hathaway has since delivered a few surprises to her performing talents – most recently by her role as the new Catwoman in the latest installment of the Batman franchise, “The Dark Knight Rises.” Little did anyone know, though, … Continue reading »
