This year, I had the pleasure of teaching an incredible young woman who transferred last fall. During one of our earlier conversations, she told me about a program she was involved in at her previous school called WE. After hearing her share stories of service and empowerment as a result of WE and WE… Continue reading Kermit Says: Live WE

Wellness Wednesday: Here’s to a Healthy Back
Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! This week has been quite a whirlwind filled with lots of sitting, standing, walking, and heavy lifting.

Motivational Monday: Roll Down Your Window
I'm a huge entertainment buff. Actually, that's probably an understatement. From movies to music, I pretty much love it all!

Like most twenty-year-olds, I merely consumed media, ingesting it in all of its forms without… Continue reading Kermit Says: You Should Go & Love Yourself
Wellness Wednesday: Goodnight, Moon
Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! I have always been in love with sleeping. I honestly can't imagine anything more enjoyable than curling up in my big bed, wrapping myself in the coziest blanket, and drifting off into the peaceful night. The thing is, however, it takes me forever to get there, and counting sheep just doesn't… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Goodnight, Moon
Tuesday Tunesday: An Ode to Warmth
Happy Tunesday, friends! Chicago has been experiencing some unusually warm weather for the last couple of days. 60 here. 70 there. And while I assume this is because of global warming, I can't help but bask in the glorious warmth. The sunlight feels so good against my skin and puts me in a great mood, and I'm… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: An Ode to Warmth
Motivational Monday: Power Through, not Down
Happy Motivational Monday, friends! Can you believe we're just 22 days away from the end of Spring quarter and a much-needed Spring Break?
