I’m happy. I’m healthy. I’m going to have a great day. For years, hearing these three lines was all it took to push me over the edge. My dad was (and still is) obsessed with repeating them every morning, and I think I’ve finally been indoctrinated. I remember the very first day he said them….

The Simple Joy of a Szechuan-Style Wonton
As I write this post, I am laying back in my hotel bed, head propped up with a half-folded pillow and my laptop balanced on a stomach full of Szechuan-style wontons and noodles. For me, this is what it feels like to be perfectly content. After what has felt like the longest, yet fastest-paced day…
Baaaaack in the Saddle Again
The first time I tried to get in the saddle (that is, start my own YouTube channel), I fell off the horse. Now, I’m picking myself back up and giving it another shot — here’s your peek into a day in my life as a consultant! ~Danielle
All Signs Point to Relaunch
Truth be told, I don’t believe in astrology. (Like, at all.) However, I’ll be the first to admit that I am a complete sucker for YouTube’s “Recommended” library, and I’ll click on almost anything. So, when astrokit’s 2020 PREDICTIONS For Your ZODIAC Signs (Astrology) kept popping up in my feed, I succumbed to temptation and…
Back in Action
Wow, I don’t even know where to begin…the first five weeks back at Lehigh have flown by! After spending the entire summer in Cincinnati (something I haven’t done since before my freshman year), I was highly unprepared for the back-to-school rush. Before you start giving me some rhetoric about the bliss of being a senior, consider the…
#GIRLBOSS
“A #GIRLBOSS is someone who’s in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it. As a #GIRLBOSS, you take control and accept responsibility. You’re a fighter— you know when to throw punches and when to roll with them…You’re a badass.” ~ p.11 of #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso When I first started…
Don’t usually do this, but…
This article deserves its own post You Just Got Out of Prison. Now what? I can’t say that I personally relate, but the style was on point. Raw, real and eye-opening. Thanks, Viet Nguyen, for sharing!
Being anti-antisocial, a book worm and an intern
Maintaining this blog during the summer is quite a task. You see, I could write about all the minute details that plague my days. It would look something like this: Last night, after ingesting what must have been an absurd amount of lactose (dang you, triple brownie ice cream), I went to bed at approximately…
Summer 2015 Goals
In one word, this week was exhausting. I had hoped to write this post last Tuesday, but after a sudden change of events, I watched all of my free time quickly vanish. After (presumably) nailing an interview set up by the temp agency I work with— yes, the same temp agency that sent me to shove…
Can late-night Netflix procrastinating be a hobby?
This past summer, I conceived the ingenious idea to begin documenting my college experience through blogging, but if you’ve seen my recent blogging activity *cough* (There hasn’t been a post since the first week of school), you could say that I may have gotten slightly off track. As the days turned into weeks and weeks…
