Job Fairs: How to Dress, What to Bring, How to Prep
College juniors and seniors are already stressing out about finding the perfect internship or post-grad full-time position. It's a stressful time! It feels like we just moved back to school and now we have to think about what we do when it's time to leave. Without proper preparation and starting the hunt early, it's easy to start falling behind the pack when it comes to looking for jobs and internships. Last year when I scouted for an internship, I emailed a lot of contacts I

Weekly Skinny: September 26th
It's the last week of September! I feel like September has been going on forever but, I swear last year this month flew by the quickest. Even with such a busy schedule I still feel like these past few weeks have gone by so slowly. Good news is, it's hump day and the weekend is just about here. I'm stoked to be going home this weekend to visit my parents and sisters. I haven't been home since moving to school, so a few days back in Crozier will be nice. Technically, this semes

Stand Alone Sweaters for Fall
Sweater weather is officially upon us! I mentioned it in yesterday's post, but I swear the turn of the season brought an entirely different climate to the East Coast. It's straight up chilly in Virginia! I'm definitely not complaining though seeing as I love bringing all of my sweaters to the front of my closet for fall. It's also officially jeans weather 🙌🏻 and now that we can happily pull on our favorite pair of medium wash jeans, let's talk about what exactly to pair wit

First Pick of the Season
It wasn't fall for more than 12 hours and I was already at the apple orchard with some friends this past weekend. One of my favorite places to visit during fall is the beautiful apple orchard in Broadway, Virginia just 11 miles north of Harrisonburg. This little orchard looks out onto the Blue Ridge mountains and is the perfect backdrop for photoshoots. Not to mention, the apples they grow are absolutely delicious! Today I wanted to share with you a great way to take your fav

Five Podcasts You Need to Listen To
This past year, I've become a big fan of podcasts. Especially when I work at the library becasue I can listen to them while I shelve books. Podcasts are a great way to expand your thoughts, learn new things, and catch up on pop culture withough cracking the spine of a magazine or textbook. Podcasts come in a wide range of topics and I guarantee, there is a perfect one out there for you. If you love listening to TED talks, you will simply adore podcasts. Today I want to share

5 Outfits to Wear This Football Season
Get up, it's game day! Finally, football season is back in full force which means us ladies have to start planning our game day outfits. I have had so many requests to share some of my favorite game day outfits with you, and the ladies on last night's Instagram Live convinced me to share. I know we all go to different schools around the country, so I shared my outfits with my school colors and tee shirts, but of course, swap those out with your team colors and logos! Football

September 30 Under $30
With summer officially behind us, I can finally put my summer stripes in the back of the closet and pull my sweaters and vests to the front. Even though it's early in the season, I can already see popular colors and trends shining throughout store windows. Blazers, 70's plaids, and leopard print are going to be big hits this season and I'm ready to jump on board. During fall I like to stay within the neutral palette and then play with layers and fall prints. Having a wide ran

Popping Your "Bubble of Self Doubt"
I have had this post drafted for a while now and never quite knew what to entitle it. Just this past weekend a friendly reader of mine messaged me on Instagram inquiring (unknowingly) about this post and absolutely inspired the title behind it! For the gal who asked, you know who you are! We've all experience extreme self-doubt in our lives. Whether it be through your school years in the classroom, on the field or court as an athlete, or in the conference room at work -- we a

The First Weekend of Recruitment
One weekend down, one to go -- and I am feeling the aftermath of 1000+ girls in the exact same room. If you haven't been on my Instagram lately then you haven't seen my several sorority posts I made this past weekend. JMU is going through fall formal recruitment right now and not even a hurricane can stop us. This year, we are hosting two weekends of recruitment with the more casual rounds last weekend and the more formal sisterhood and pref rounds this upcoming weekend. I am

Weekly Skinny: September 7th
Finally Friday! Woo woo! This week has been forever long it feels like, I woke up bright and early on Monday morning with a powerful head cold. Ever since I've been taking Vitamin C drops like crazy and sanitizing just about everything in sight. I even Clorox wiped by desk at the library down before sitting. I'm not taking any chances to further deteriorate my health because recruitment starts today! YES! That's right, formal sorority recruitment starts today and I am so exci
