Wow! Is this really the last week of October? Where did it all go and why did it go so quickly? It seems like when I was younger, every day moved so slowly. I thought I'd never reach adulthood, and here I am in my late twenties wishing things would slow down, appreciating every… Continue reading Kermit Says: Motivational Monday

Wellness Wednesday: Just Breathe
For months and months, I weighed the costs and benefits of purchasing the latest Apple Watch. I did my research, watched videos, and conducted one-on-one interviews with Apple Watch owners. This may sound pretty outrageous, but if you know me, you know this is the type of homework I enjoy doing. I'm a list maker,… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Just Breathe
Tuesday Tunesday: 24K Magic
Happy Tuesday, friends! Every Tuesday, one of my classes (shout out to 6th period) selects a few individuals to share songs they're listening to and loving, so I thought I'd do the same here.

Dear Kermit: Sex on Prom Night (or Nah)?

Kermit Says: It’s Okay to Fail, But…
Teenagers are facing insurmountable pressure from parents, teachers, college counselors, and society as a whole. They are constantly told they need to be better, brighter, more talented, and more capable than the next student. The reality is they are no longer competing with themselves or their schoolmates, but are now competing with teens from all… Continue reading Kermit Says: It’s Okay to Fail, But…
