Everyone has days when things just seem to go wrong. I certainly had one last week–on the way to the Taylor Swift concert, in fact. Sometimes, though, nothing is exactly wrong with your life, but you still feel off. It can be so hard to know …
Almost a year ago, I wrote this article for Lenovo. I have always loved to write–and I always wanted to do it as a career. It took me years–until I worked for Lenovo– to realize that it was actually possible to incorporate journalistic writing into …
November 15th was a high-stakes day. Women around the world held our breaths, anxiously refreshed our screens, and prayed to the WIFI Gods. 10 am hit, and the pressure was on. Was it Ivy admission day? No, not until March, but it might as well …
