Stay at the Table, the Chips Will Come
While accepting the first award of the night this past Monday—and the first Primetime Emmy of his career—Henry Winkler quoted something he was once told by a friend in Hollywood: “If you sit at the table long enough, the chips will come to you.” I’ve never been much of a poker player myself, but I… Continue reading

Why My Roommate Should be the Next Host of Jeopardy
Greetings people of the Internet, I’m here to discuss something incredibly important. It has recently been brought to my attention that Alex Trebek is on his (be it, long and slow) way out from the Jeopardy hosting position. Word on the street is that he will abdicate his all knowing thrown in the year 2020.… Continue reading

It’s Not Time to Worry Yet
If you’re anything like me, you’re a worrier. And not just your average worrier. A professional worrier. But who could blame us? There’s the past, the present, the future, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of variations of those three that feature the what if’s, the could be’s and the should have been’s.

I’m Still Trying to Land My Own Jump
The other day I was scrolling through Facebook when I came across a video of a skateboarder trying to land a super complicated trick. Massively complicated for someone like me. Impossible, really.

For that One Person
It’s easy to want to be famous. To get a lot of attention. A lot of views. A lot of love from a lot of people you don’t know. It would make you feel important. Valuable. Loved. At least that’s what it seems like it would be. I’ll admit, I struggle with both wanting that… Continue reading

I Love Me
A couple weeks ago my friend and fellow blogger, Allison A, posted a blog all about self love. She brought up the frustratingly common tendency we have as a population, especially as women, to not only talk down about ourselves, but to make a point not to brag about ourselves. To counter this, she asked… Continue reading

Firstly, let’s start the car. Excellent. How did that feel? I really want you to soak it in because while it’s a… Continue reading

If You’re Going to Post, Post What’s True
As a creature of habit, my routine in the morning is almost identical every single day of the workweek. Among pressing snooze a few times, listening to a podcast, and making a (usually empty) promise to myself that we’ll nap later, checking Timehop—an app that connects to your social media accounts and shows you posts… Continue reading
