Congrats, New Grads! By the Way, You Don’t Know... →
This article is amazing. It actually makes me feel a little better about life. In the wise words of Alanis Morissette: “It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take…” So yeah, don’t be the person Alanis is singing about.

“Remember what it was that made you happy before everyone else started trying to...”
– I can’t believe it’s been exactly two years since I graduated from the University of Iowa. I suppose being sleep deprived can make you feel as though things are a bit of a blur (yes, we had to be there at 6:45 a.m.). Sitting next to one of my best friends Amanda, I kept thinking how...

The more I think, the more I think I lose my mind sometimes.
Why?
Because I miss it.
Discovering someone for the first time
Their thoughts, dreams, beliefs, fears.
Who are you? Who am I?
Don’t you want to know?
No, I suppose you never do.
You’d rather discover my body.
Your hand grazing my lower back,
My fingers running over your arms.
Our eyes locked onto one another,...

Pick me, choose me, love(?) me...
I assume finding the perfect Craigslist roommate(s) is kind of like falling in love. You meet some people, you immediately know it won’t work out. You meet some other people, you feel like they’re okay enough, so you settle because you’re horribly desperate for housing. And then, you meet others and well, you know. You. Just. Know.

WatchWow, this commercial is really good. The first (few) times I watched it, I teared up. Actually, I originally thought this commercial was to promote the London 2012 Olympic Games… whoops. Obviously, it’s in anticipation of Mother Day’s. Still, it’s totally brilliant. Moms and the Olympics? How could you possibly go wrong? Also, throw in the perfect emotionally charged...

"No Matter"
I should have went home. I should have ignored his text. I should have made an excuse not to see him. Instead, I did none of those things only to realize that I have now probably seen him for the last time. Every now and then, life plays a bit like a movie. Watching yourself do or say things you shouldn’t, wishing you could just rewind or pause, wanting to cringe at every bad line that...

The five-year plan
I’m going to try this… again. I miss writing. I do, but lately I just haven’t found the time for it. Or so I tell myself. Also, my laptop stopped working but that’s another issue (or excuse I suppose). But here I am, hoping to re-update everyone on how life is. I’m calling this tumblr My Brain (a place for my words) and my other tumblr My Heart (a place for images,...

Cheers to 2012
Happy 2012! One of my resolutions for the new year is to update my blog. Yes, actually update it so people know I’m still alive. Although I don’t really know what to focus on. I’m not nearly as witty or charming as some of my other friends so we’ll see what happens.
I spent New Year’s in New York City with my friends from college Amanda, Justin, and others (and yes,...

On the edge of glory
So it’s been a while since I’ve actually updated on anything. The last month has been just a rush, from moving to Framingham to heading to Boston for job interviews to my beloved Boston Bruins winning the Stanley Cup. For once, things seemed to be going really well. And then perhaps I got to share the best news of all a few days ago:
I was expecting disappointment. I was expecting...
