“We are living in a digital world and I am a digital girl.”

Okay, so the headline only really works if you sing it like Madonna, but I’m expecting that most of you either did or now will go back and do so.

In honor of last week being Social Media Week, I realized I needed to get back into gear and get another blog posted.  It’s been a while since I last posted (that seems like a familiar theme every time I get on here) and I really don’t have much of an excuse. I’ve been busy with work and class, but I spend hours a day on social media sites. …

The Long Lost Blogger

I realize that I start off too many of my posts with, “It’s been a while.” or something along those lines, so today I will just skip that part since it’s pretty clear I’ve been missing in action for quite some time. (I guess this whole introduction defeats that purpose…)

I’ll start by saying that nothing has changed in my untimeliness when I write these posts. I really should be working on homework right now, but I’ll get to it as soon as I’m done. After all, it is summer, isn’t it? With a part-time job, a part-time internship, two …

Whether or not you believe in the Mayan prediction that the world will irrevocably change in December, 2012, for thousands of high school seniors this year really does represent, in the words of the band R.E.M., “the end of the world as we know it.” This month, more than a decade of hard work and perseverance by myself and many of my fellow seniors across the country culminates in one of the ultimate accomplishments of young adulthood – high school graduation. Simply put, life will never be the same, even if Earth keeps spinning.

For some of us, the road …

So Close, But Still So Far

Since it’s been a while, I guess it’s time for an update on how stressful school really is. No matter how many years you’ve dealt with it, it certainly doesn’t get any easier. But then again, it’s not supposed to, is it?

Here we are in week four of the spring semester and I can almost see the finish line. But looking at what’s ahead, I feel like the finish line might as well be in the middle of the ocean and I have no boat. This (academic) year has gone by so fast, but there are still twelve weeks …

Very Pinteresting…

So I realize I’ve been slacking. This post has been a long time coming and trust me…I’ve heard more from people about my lack of posts than my fantastic blogs (Okay, so I admit I have some catching up to do). Life has been nothing but busy with finishing up the semester, planning for next semester, having an online class (that I’ve also been slacking with), and trying to enjoy the holidays. #collegekidproblems. That’s the only hashtag I’ll use today. I’ll have to write a blog about how Twitter is taking over the world, but for now…How to Solve College …
