5 Simple Ways to Becoming a Morning Person

September 14, 2017 No Comments

Anyone who knows me knows that sleep and I… well, we don’t get along very well. For many, many years I have been a renowned night owl, and I’m still trying to work on that. Thanks to this lifestyle, I have viewed mornings as the enemy for quite some time. However, that whole “adult with a career” thing forced me to change this outlook the hard way. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m a morning person now. ME? Taylor Maleski? A morning person?!?!? I know. I’m just as shocked as you are. I actually woke up willingly at 7 am last Sunday. W h a t t h e h e c k. It takes some trial and error, but trust me, it’s for the better. Here are some tips and tricks on how I made the switch:

2017 Resolutions

December 30, 2016 No Comments

So, about halfway through writing this, my computer completely froze out of nowhere, and I had to do a force-restart… naturally causing me to lose all my work. You would think after 16+ years of school, I would’ve learned to save my work?! But, APPARENTLY! NOT! The reason I am opening with this is because a year ago, this would’ve caused me to completely freak out and probably get a migraine. Now, I’m a little disappointed, because I was really happy with the way I structured everything (and probably forgot half of it by now), but life goes on and the post will be completed, regardless.

Seeking Revenge: Why to Avoid It

September 21, 2016 No Comments

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.

10 Lessons from 2015

December 31, 2015 No Comments

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.

5 Things to Remember for Getting Through the Rut

August 12, 2015 No Comments

I am going to be honest here and say that I’m writing this post for myself just as much as I’m writing it for you all. If there’s something I’ve realized in the past year, it’s that essentially nothing is in your control at this age. Granted, my personal situation may differ from that of others, but we’re all on the same page in terms of being about to enter the real world. This means making our own life choices, choosing our paths, fulfilling our own destinies – you get the picture. That being said, it’s pretty easy (and almost inevitable) to get pulled down and feel like you’re stuck. hopefully these tips will help you if you’re in the same boat as I am.

Happy sunday, everyone! I always complain about losing that hour of sleep, but I really couldn’t be more thrilled about having much more light in my day! I feel so much more energized when the days are longer, don’t you?
