The Best of 2018 & What I Learned
2018 was both the longest and shortest year of my life. When I think about how much I managed to pack into 365 days it feels like the longest rotation around the sun, but on the other hand, that also makes it feel like I blinked and boom, it's December. Did I finish my first internship four months ago? I swear it felt like two weeks! I did a lot this year and not a single ounce of it I regret. This year brought opportunity, growth, joy, sadness, struggle, confusion, stress (l

What I Got for Christmas 2018 + Holiday Season Recap
We can all relax now that Christmas is over. It was a great holiday season for me and I hope you and your family enjoyed the season as well. I for sure will miss the incredible Christmas piano playlist on Spotify and the gorgeous lights around the house but it'll be nice to save some money in the New Year and feel like I can finally relax. This Christmas was a low-key one for my family and I. We enjoyed a lazy morning, a delicious breakfast and a slow day of unwrapping a hand

60+ Outfits Perfect for Christmas Eve

Weekly Skinny: December 12
Back with another weekly skinny during this crazy finals week! Today, I take my first final after turning in a slew of papers and final projects. As a communications major and writing minor, I don't take tests too often so I'm unimaginably nervous. Throughout the semester I've written 25 papers and only taken 6 exams, so needless to say, written finals aren't my strong suit! I'm so excited though because tomorrow I'll be heading home back to Richmond to celebrate Christmas wi

Lucy's Christmas List
First off, I wanted to thank people for understanding my finals week hiatus. There just isn't enough time in the day to get everything done so a cut back on the blog was what needed to happen. Despite being away for several days, today I'm sharing one of y’alls favorite posts - my Christmas list. I've said it for several years now, but there's nothing I'm dying to see under the tree this year. Since I was about 16, I felt like I had everything I ever needed. The last thing on

Settle When Necessary, Thrive When Possible.
December is the time where juniors and seniors in college start to lose their minds a little. We are all vying for the best of the best internships, the most lucrative and interesting full time jobs and starting to figure our post graduate lives out. Taking that ever-scary leap of faith into the "real world" is one of the scariest things we'll ever do in life so rightfully so, it drives us all a little crazy. The other day I was walking to work when I heard a senior talking a
