Renting 101: How to Assess the Value of a Property You Haven’t Seen (And Don’t Know the Address Of)

The trouble with finding a rental in a totally new place is that you don't know where the good (or bad) locations are, what a decent rental price is, or even what kind of standards there are. (Like, am I just having bad luck, or are 80% of the houses there over half a century old??)Add that on top of not being able to really look at these houses, and I'm feeling really … Continue reading →

My favorite sites for being completely unproductive

I've been far too productive this last week, so today I'm revisiting all the wonderful sites that keep me grounded in uselessness - and I hope they are a benefit to others! Playing Games I don't let myself play many games, because I just do not want to stop playing them. I break the rules when it comes to games that are easier to pull myself away from.Here Be … Continue reading →

Coming to terms with what my blog says about me

I have to be honest. I never saw myself blogging about fashion or nails or those sorts of things. I saw crafts and creativity and photography. So I want to ensure that there is no mean intent when I say this: I don't really like what my blog says about me & my life. My life vision I thought my life would be professional and creative and successful and independent, … Continue reading →

The life question: where to next?

Now that I've graduated college and promised myself that I won't take a job that I'm not passionate about, I have to admit that the future has become a lot more daunting a thought than previously. I've quickly moved from unable to interview anywhere (since I was off in London), applying and interviewing for a bunch of jobs, and slowly coming to realize that the hobby I've … Continue reading →

I've been in 4 different cities and probably spent over half of my time traveling by either car or plane. Once … Continue reading →

Wisdom Wednesday: Maya Angelou

Now that I'm done with the most hellish semester of my career, I've been sitting back and deciding what I want to do with this blog. It's become apparent that I need better direction. So I've come up with a cheesy theme for every day of the week! And while I knew some of them were common... I thought "Wisdom Wednesday" would just be so unique. You know what?

Did you know doodling improves cognitive capabilities?

It's not that I don't remember to visit my site, and update it with all the awesome things I'm doing, making, cooking. It's more that I'm so busy I don't have time to do awesome things, let alone write about them.It's actually depressing, because it's not like I can look forward to an easy semester in the Spring, where I have more free time. Really it just feels like … Continue reading →

And begins 'the excuses of a busy girl'.But what have I been doing? Well, I've been working 31 hours a week, taking 15 credits, and then topping it off with 10 or more hours a week doing work for RUB Entertainment. This last … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Broke!

I've been really good about posting every day, so when I decided to let my blog slide for two days, in order to fully study for my financial accounting exam... I felt a little apprehensive. It just takes the littlest deviation, and soon I'll be blowing off class every day, and getting low 'D's on exams, and crying to my mom that I'll never pass Chemis- oh, er, yes, my … Continue reading →
