Kermit Says: Motivational Monday
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
Dear Kermit: From Me to You
Yesterday, Washington Post journalist, Amy Ellis Nutt, published an article reporting the inadequate and oftentimes nonexistent mental health resources and treatment available to adults. According to an annual assessment conducted by the non-profit organization Mental Health America, "Twenty percent of adults (43.7 million people) have a mental health condition, and more than half of… Continue reading Dear Kermit: From Me to You
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. Music is my life--that's not an exaggeration. I actually wrote about music for my college essay because it's so influential… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: 24K Magic

I know too often work, school, and life, in general,… Continue reading Motivation Monday

I was recruited to play football--a sport I love more than just about anything--at a D1 school but was terribly unhappy, so my family and I made the decision for me to transfer and play… Continue reading Dear Kermit: Miserable in Manchester
Kermit Says: Shanah Tovah!
Happy Rosh Hashanah, friends! It's been a heck of a long hiatus, but we are officially back and the timing couldn't be better. This year's Rosh Hashanah began last night and perfectly coincides with Kermit Says' return.

Dear Kermit: Sex on Prom Night (or Nah)?
Happy Tuesday, friends! This week is dedicated to all things prom. Between dress shopping, tux fittings, and limo renting, the topic of "prom night expectations" rarely makes the cut in topics of conversation. So, we're changing that. Take a listen to what Kermit Says... has to say on having sex on prom night (or not). Check out… Continue reading Dear Kermit: Sex on Prom Night (or Nah)?
