I recently got a new eyeglasses prescription. Since my town doesn't really have many options for eyeglasses right now, I decided to head online to see where I could get the best eyeglasses for the best price. I love wearing a variety of any accessories I get, so I was excited to try out a few different brands. I decided to try out Zenni Optical vs. EyeBuyDirect. Let's see who had the best glasses[...]
It’s tough being a Millennial or a Gen Z-er. It’s even harder being a Millennial or a Gen Z-er during the middle of a global pandemic. Things can seem pretty overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to start feeling bogged down and uninspired. If you’re anything like me, Netflix and Hulu are probably your go-tos when you can’t work up the motivation to get anything done. Why not turn a regu[...]
I’ll admit it: I don’t think I met even half of my New Year's resolutions for 2020. Sure, I was able to get some smaller things tackled and taken care of.

I’m pretty sure we’ve all stopped and thought, “I’m just not good enough,” at least once or twice. Whether it applies to your academic work, your personal life, or your career, thoughts of self-rejection tend to creep up every now and then. Let’s talk about what self-rejection rea[...]
Over the past few months, I've become a bit of a tea lover. Before 2020, I never really drank a lot of tea, but I've needed more energy than ever with my new job, and coffee doesn't do me any favors. Earlier this year, I started using Verb Energy bars. These bars get their caffeine from green tea. After eating those bars and loving them, I decided to get into tea.

I used to be a podcast hater. I thought my attention span was too short to get anything from them. Ultimately, I felt like reading books and articles was a far better way to get information and learn. Surprise— I was wrong.
