Being Sober in College

I want to start this blog by being clear about the fact that I by no means am writing this to be judgmental, but just to write my experience about being sober in college. My friends will readily tell you that I am the one who you call when you drank a little too much…

Favorite Five

I recently opened up my instagram questions to see what people who read my blog wanted to see. One of the top answers were my “top picks” of what I am loving right now. It is almost unreal to me that people want to know what I am into (Me?? Does this make me a…

Get Out of Your Comfort Zone: Spend Time Abroad

In the weeks that I have been in abroad, I have travelled to several cities in Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, France, and Ireland (so far). I am very aware of how blessed I am to be having this experience. I know that many people would love the opportunity to travel as much as…

It was all Greek to me

I never imagined myself a sorority girl. When I started at Wofford I gave no thought to rush, it just didn’t seem up my alley. My only idea of what sororities were was what I saw in movies. I thought that it was superficial. I prematurely judged what it would mean to be a “sorority…

The heart behind Hustle + Heart

Hello? Is this thing on? Word. I’ll start this off by saying that yes, I guess what I want to share on here is technically a lifestyle blog.
