Let's talk about long distance relationships for a minute. Ian and I have been in a long distance relationship for over 2 years now, and let's be honest, there are times when it really sucks. I mean, not only are we in a long distance relationship, but he's also in the military. There's no way around it, and I'm not going to lie to you all and say it's sunshine and roses all the time. I feel like the question I get asked the most often is, "how do you all do it? I don't think that I could." Sure you can! Anyone can do it if the other person in the relationship means the world to you. About how we do it, we honestly just do. Lots of commuting between New York and Tennessee, lots of time in the airport, and lots of Face time dates definitely help! I know that's not an awesome answer, but we just make it work because we really care about each other, and we know that there is an eventual end date to the distance. I know we are definitely not a uniq...

So, I love to read. There's almost nothing I love more than curling up with a good book and a mug of hot tea. With that being said, one of the goals I set for myself this year was to read 50 books by my 22nd birthday, and I'm over halfway there. You'd be amazed how much free time you actually have when you graduate. This fall has honestly been a book lovers' dream. Two of my favorite authors came out with new books, and I also discovered a new series that I could not put down no matter how hard I tried.  My reading list constantly grows and changes, but below is the list I've been working on since the middle of September, let me know what you all think! Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte I finally decided to read this because of how much it is mentioned in other books I've read. I was hoping that it would live up to the hype, but unfortunately, I was not a fan at all. I do not understand why this book is such a cult classic, because I honestly had to f...

Hi everyone! I decided on a whim while traveling back to Tennessee from New York recently that I was going to finally start a blog. I've been thinking about doing so for over a year, but was never really happy with the way it was going or the design, but I think I've finally got something going that I'm excited about. I know it feels like everyone and their mother has a blog right now, and let's be honest, my mom would probably be a much better blogger than I will ever be, but we're going to give this a shot! My hope for this blog is that it is a way to publish my thoughts, experiences, and advice in a format that might be helpful to other people along the way. So, my biggest hope for this experience is to hopefully help and inspire others whether it be to pick up a new book, try on a new outfit, or sign up to try something totally out of your comfort zone. With that being said, here's a few facts about me: I'm a 21 year old college graduate. I graduated ...
