‘Tis the season for many things — friends, family, giving, sharing, loving, and unfortunately, germs.

We can pack in…
Read MoreAs you may have learned from a story I published a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been involved in spreading the message of #RethinkTheRatio for Uber Pitch, a program empowering women to take control of their destiny by applying to win a cash prize from Uber and give entrepreneurs the opportunity to enter to win…

Sweet home Chicago. The windy city where the pizza is deep, the winters are brutal, the folks are wholesome, the “aaa’s” are longer, and our sports teams are worth defending — and some would say, worth fighting for. I’m not one to hide any of my gushing love for the Chi, but I’m not the…
Read MoreDorothy said it best while she clicked her ruby red shoes “There’s no place like home” — and isn’t that certainly the case? As most of us are working a job (plus a side hustle with busy social schedules and various other commitments in life), it seems only natural that we’re also looking for some…

Read MorePicture this. You’re home, chilling. You start plotting your holiday list — a mix of recurring characters and some A+ newbies. You’re stressing — it’s a lot to think about. Amazon is overwhelming, and Mastercard gift cards are too impersonal. Too many options = too much no. Listen, I get it. I’m not here to…
Read MoreThough it’s only taking up a two-month timespan, the holiday season has turned into a year-round mindset. It seems that stores put up decor earlier and earlier each year, and Thanksgiving can barely enjoy its five minutes of fame before the lights are up and trees are decorated. While I’m all for the spirit this time of…
Read MoreAs September flipped into October and the leaves blossomed into hues of oranges, my best friend and I parted ways. No doors were slammed, no definitive fragments of finality were screamed over half-eat salads, no exaggerated hug signaled the end of our chapter as besties. But there was a moment of clarity that marked a…
Read MoreI’m just about set to graduate, and while this might be one of the most exciting moments in my life, it’s also one of the most terrifying. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to be free of group projects forever, but I’m scared shitless of entering the real world. To be honest, though, the thing…
