Merry Cyber Monday To All: 10 Tips for Making the Most of this ‘Holiday’

IMG_2410.JPG

With about 4 hours left, the biggest day of deals is coming to a close! Cyber Monday has, without a doubt, taken the place of Black Friday. Hard. Forget risking being trampled and waking up at horrifying hours – just whip out your laptop/phone/tablet in the comfort of your own bed. Technology has taken the place of shopping in the mall, and I am personally ay-okay with that. Cyber Monday is my favorite holiday (after Thanksgiving, of course), and I am here tonight to give you some tips on how to make the most of this day of savings. Ready… set… shop!

Confronting Anxiety

In honor of this week’s #WorldMentalHealthDay, I have decided to write about something I have wanted to address for some time, but have not entirely been sure how to approach. I was hesitant about it, given that I do not want future employers to see this post and let that dictate how they see me or my working ability. However, I am now realizing that is even more of a reason to address this head-on. It’s time to break the stigma. Let’s talk about anxiety.

Seeking Revenge: Why to Avoid It

In life, especially after being really hurt, it’s really easy to resort to anger rather than sadness.I am 100% a person who finds it easier to be angry. I think as humans, we innately have this weird power struggle within us that says being hurt is a sign of weakness. As the years have gone on, I’ve realized this is not the case. I would never think of a someone else as a weak person for feeling hurt, so I don’t really know why I default to that assumption for myself.

How I Edit My Pictures

Happy Friday (or Saturday at this point), everyone! I don’t know about you (but I’m feeling twentyyyy-twoOoOo!) Okay, that was unnecessary. I’m sorry. But, I need this weekend more than anything after the week I’ve been having. Any good Labor Day weekend plans? Mine are still in the making, but as long as I’m seeing my friends, I’ll be happy as a clam. (Where did that expression come from anyway?)

Life, Post-Grad

Ugh. Look how HAPPY I look – thinking graduation was the end to all my worries, the beginning of the next chapter in the book titled: ‘Taylor’s Life’. Okay, I’m being a little dramatic here. I will admit, though, this post is hard for me to write. A part of it is because I’ve been hit with post-grad blues the past week, and also I’ve been in moderate denial about it for a good majority of the summer. It also doesn’t help that while I’m seeing everyone go back to school this week, I’m grappling with the fact that I am not.

Dorm Room Décor

Hello, hello, hello! Long time no… blog? I can’t believe it’s been over a month since the last time I’ve written! as usual, I’m caught up in the crazy busy schedule that I call “life”. But, I truthfully am really trying to work on setting aside more time for myself. This is my attempt at doing so for today (sorry thesis!)

10 Lessons from 2015

Most likely, I say this every single year, but 2015 has taught me so much more than I ever could have imagined. It was one the hardest (if not arguably THE hardest) years of my 21 years of existence so far. It was full of so many lessons, so many realizations, and so many acceptances.
