I tend to consider myself a city girl. Growing up in the suburbs and living in Detroit now, I can’t see myself wanting to live anywhere that I have to drive 20 minutes to buy groceries. However, as a born and raised Michigander, I love spending my summers Up North. Spending so much time with […]
This is the age of infinite knowledge. There are thousands upon thousands of resources literally at your fingertips. There isn’t any excuse to be misinformed, or unfamiliar, or ignorant to the happenings of the world if you take the time to read about them. Obviously, we can’t be knowledgeable on every subject.

Some people I worked with would love the adrenaline that came along with dealing with insane women screaming at each other […]

To say that the month of September has been a month of adjustments would be an understatement. New apartment, new city, new job, new routine; it’s been quite a ride.
