Motivational Monday: Make the Most of Your Break!
Whether you're in middle school, high school, college, or beyond, one of the best parts about school is going on a well-deserved and much-needed break. From early September to mid-December, you work day and night for hours and hours on end perfecting projects, writing and revising essays, and studying for exam after exam… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Make the Most of Your Break!
Motivational Monday: Keep Calm & Study Like Hermione Granger!
Happy Monday, friends! For many of us, this is the last week before we enjoy a much-needed and well-deserved winter break, but there's just one more hurdle to master, one more thing standing in the way of endless sleep and guilt-free Netflix marathons, one more thing keeping you from freedom: finals. They say… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Keep Calm & Study Like Hermione Granger!
Motivational Monday: Practice Personal Patience
Patience (noun): The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. See also self-restraint, perseverance, and persistence. I'm not a patient person. In fact, if I think about my life, it's all just been a series of me failing at exercising patience. When I was younger, I… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Practice Personal Patience
Motivational Monday: You Belong
Happy Motivational Monday, friends! I hope everyone had a wonderfully restful and reenergizing weekend. After spending the last four days huddled up in a hotel chaperoning the Princeton Model UN Conference, it's so strange to finally reemerge.

Motivational Monday: Remember Who You Are
One of my favorite contemporary poets recently posted some beautiful words of wisdom and comfort on her Instagram that I think are worth sharing: "Even when you feel like the world has let you down, please remember who you are and what you stand for."- Alex Elle This makes me think of that pivotal scene in Disney's… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Remember Who You Are
Motivational Monday: Don’t Miss It
Happy Monday, friends! I can't believe it's November already--again, where did the time go? It almost feels like I ask this same question for every "new month" post, but seriously, I just can't wrap my head around these passing days. As I'm writing this, it's nearly 5:00pm, and it's pitch black outside. Granted, much of… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Don’t Miss It
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
Motivation Monday
Happy Motivational Monday, friends! Do you ever have moments where your expectations are so high and anxiety is through the roof that you can hardly function? Moments when the need to succeed in everything you do is more damaging and destructive than productive and invigorating? I know too often work, school, and life, in general,… Continue reading Motivation Monday
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.
