We aren't ready to go back to school.
Back to school jitters are always running high around this time but this year, those nerves are manifesting on a much different scale.

Just say no.
I’m a people pleaser. On almost any occasion I am the first to take on a new project, always up to grab dinner and always willing to pick up others slack.

The Magic of Embracing Your Inner Child
Since finishing my sophomore year of college from my childhood bedroom in St. Louis rather than in my chic, open-double dorm room at Syracuse University, I have had more than enough free time on my hands. The exhausted student in me is telling me to use this time to sleep in until noon and binge watch New Girl on Netflix until ungodly hours. While I have definitely been indulging in this opportunity for laziness, something about living in my aqua blue bedroom covered in childhood photos, art projects and books has inspired me to embrace the child in me.

Beat the "Confidence Gap"
You know the moment in the car right before a job interview and your foot starts tapping uncontrollably? Next thing you know your hands are disgustingly clammy. You’re imagining walking in and shaking the interviewer’s hand. But wait. Your hands are sweating. Now you’re freaking out about touching someone with your sweaty hands and your legs start shaking more and more. The vicious cycle repeats over and over until there you are standing at the door about to put yourself out there – whether or not you’re ready.
