  • Everything Happens for a Reason

    I started my today nervous about my first business trip ever. It was the first time I would be driving myself to the airport and flying alone.

  • Dear World,

    Dear World, It’s been a little over a month since we’ve met. Can you believe I’ve only known the “real” you for a month? I feel like we’re getting so close. I’ve already learned so much about you! I’ve learned to decipher your exotic language, learning a whole new vocabulary. Words like Accidental Death and Read more

  • My Top 5 Musical Men

    In two days, I will be glued to the television screen. Why, you may ask? Because, my friends, this Sunday is the 2012 Tony Awards; AKA: theater geeks’ Super Bowl.

  • Let’s Hear it for the Boys

    You’ve probably seen or heard the phrase, “I’d rather have a Proverbs 31 woman than a Victoria’s Secret model”. This little campaign sparked out of Baylor University and caught fire. I am a huge supporter of this biblical campaign for many reasons. However, it has started me thinking why there isn’t a male-equivalent campaign. Yes, culture Read more

    Just a few interesting facts about my boss at my previous internship: He freestyles with James Marsden. Holds multiple deep sea fishing records (got one when he was 6). Hung out with Owen Wilson and unknowingly got him drinking again. next thing he heard, Owen Wilson was back in rehab for alcohol abuse and had Read more

  • Wisdom for the Rat Race

    This week is the last week of my internship. The past 6 months I’ve been interning for a tenant rep who specializes in restaurants. I’ve gotten the chance to eat a lot of free foods from some really cool places around DFW, meet Top Chefs, and learn the ins and outs of real estate. My Read more
