Follow my blog with Bloglovin  It's no secret that Fall gets a lot of attention from all sorts of blogs and social media outlets- who doesn't love a good selection of autumnal foliage and a plethora of cool weather outfits to pick from? Well, that hasn't quite been a reality this year in the DMV- of course the leaves have changed and fallen,...

In honor of the UN General Assembly last week- a throwback to my last day as a diplomat in training :) Happy (almost) Friday! It's still hot on the east coast- almost ridiculously so, to be honest- so I'm spending my free time preparing for my next French immersion class, catching up on some TV, and doing a little online window shopping in hopes of...

As September rolled around, my Mom joked that she actually missed back to school shopping. For the first time in who knows how many years, there is no purchasing of supplies of textbooks or lugging anything into campus housing! As a December grad, this is the first time I haven't been headed back to school in the Fall. Instead, I'll be spending my...

Oh, social media... what would we all do without the ability to see exactly what friends (and strangers) are doing on a daily basis? ;) No matter how simultaneously rewarding and frustrating it can be having social media so embedded in our daily lives, there is certainly one benefit: the ability to mentally "visit" anywhere you can think of. Scrolling through Facebook, I...

Happy Tuesday! A quick look into some of my current favorites and what's been on my mind as of late! On my watch list: I haven't really binge watched anything in a while, so I'm trying to catch up on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt so I can finally start the new season- which I'm probably the last person under 40 to watch! I missed its...

*I've been inspired by my friend Katina at Lost & Found in the City to start writing quick photo-diary style posts recapping whatever recent photos I find on my camera roll while I'm out and about. This is my first time posting something a little less structured, but I hope you enjoy these little peeks into whatever catches my eye* If you've grown up outside...

Long time no see, and happy Spring! As it turns out blogging while also working full time and figuring out life in the city is a lot to fit in- who would've thought? ;) Nevertheless, I have lots to share. Enjoy a little summary of the past month or so... Life Lately: My aunt and cousins came up for a very busy, but...

If you read my last post, you may have noticed that I was being (deliberately) vague on what I was actually doing in New York. Since I had to get a security clearance before starting my internship, I wasn't sure how much I was allowed to talk about, or publish, about where I'm working or what I typically find myself doing day-to-day- especially...

When I finished undergrad, I thought I had a pretty reasonable idea of my (very tentative!) plans for the next few years- intern, then find a job in Washington DC, live at home for a while, then eventually find my own apartment in the DC area, just as so many of my friends and classmates have done before me. Figure out adulthood for...

Long time no see- I hope that everyone who's stuck with this tiny little blog of mine had an amazing holiday season and a happy new year! The past few weeks have been more than a little hectic with final papers, nerve-wracking exams, and of course, keeping up with Christmas shopping and decorating. Finally, my fog of comparative foreign policy and human rights...
