Praise for Pretentious Pinterest Quotes

I was just scrolling through Pinterest the earlier this week and stumbled upon this online article from Cosmo that just had me laughing at the accuracy: pretentious Pinterest quotes that somehow make you feel better?


This was definitely one of my favorites! I have definitely spent unnecessarily long amounts of time worrying over the past when there isn't anything else to be done about it. In the moments I find I'm talking to myself, I often try to calm myself from freaking out over how something might have gone or ended by thinking about what those experiences can teach me for the future.

Have you seen any great quotes lately? How did they make you feel?

Monday Morning Laughs

Sometimes Mondays are great. Sometimes they suck. If you're reading this in the morning, I hope this helps you start your day off on the right foot. If today is not Monday and you're reading in the evening, I hope your day went well and that this helps put a smile on your face. I know not everyone likes/loves sports, but whatever your fancy, I'm sure you'll find this video quite amusing! Enjoy!


Hope you have a wonderful day!

Little Discoveries

Happy Lunar New Year!

So many fun things have been happening amidst all of the busy-week things (as I write this post, there are currently 55+ open Google Chrome tabs - I'm not joking), and I can't wait to share them with all of you! For now, I don't want to jinx some of them so I'll be sharing them next week - small request for good vibes/prayers/thoughts/cookies/whatever you choose.


Current Feel Good Jam | Like many other nights, I was spending a little too much time on YouTube when I found this song! Olly Murs and Demi Lovato singing an uplifting, feel-good song with acoustic back-up? This one will definitely get you ready to take on anything today.

So Many Little Black Dresses | It seems to be the season for sales on little black dresses! Can you really have too many black dresses? They're perfect for almost any occasion. I'm really loving this one and this one, but this one is on sale for $20!

Political Fact-Checking | Disclosure: I am in no way endorsing any of the political candidates with the inclusion of this article in this post. My main goal is to remind everyone that no candidate is perfect and to encourage everyone to vote, and to vote with an educated ballot. Do a little research and figure out which candidates line up with your values - that's all I ask, whatever your political opinions be!

Another Great Dance Video for Love Yourself | These two dancers are so in-sync it's crazy. I could not stop smiling the whole two minutes! I have always been a big fan of dance (in part because I wasn't an extraordinarily coordinated child) and I love finding videos of unique and interpretive choreography - they always make me wish I stuck with dance lessons when I was younger.

Friends Day | So yesterday was Facebook's 4th birthday, and it was a big one. I love that they decided to make it more about the people Facebook has helped - it just warmed my heart reading and listening to so many people's amazing stories! The #FriendsDay videos were pretty cool - mine was pretty accurate! How was yours?


Today we are celebrating Friends Day -- a moment to reflect on the important friendships in our lives.February 4 is...

Another Trip to the Suns



Well, I said I would eventually make my way to another game and lo and behold, it may have taken me a while but I made it. Yes, my sports savvy friends, the Suns have not been playing well, but I came more for the wonderful experience the Suns create - and Booker. So many people have said that watching Booker play is entertaining and I was really excited to see it for myself!





I am so glad that my group, the W. P. Carey APPLE (Academy Peer Programmers for Leadership Engagement) was able to plan this event. We were able to arrange for 50 students from my business school to hear from a diverse and experienced panel of Phoenix Suns executives, then we stayed to watch the Suns play the Raptors in an extremely close touch-by-touch game. It was a disappointment to experience another loss, but it was such a great experience overall that it didn't damper the night too badly.

When was the last time you did something you hadn't done in a while?

February - My House



Happy February, everyone! I could not help but decide to share this song to kick off this new month. I know many of you have probably already heard it, but here's a reminder to listen to the song at least one more time today. This semester has been off to a rocky start and February is jam-packed with so many things going on, but for some reason I woke up this morning feeling like I could take the day on - hopefully that's a good sign!

What song currently describes how you feel about this new month?

Catch you next time.
