But there is a new narrative leaking through those perfect square images on… Continue reading Is it still cool to have an Instagram aesthetic?

Throughout the year, our committee organized a few programming events on personal branding, including a resume workshop and a panel on work wear that discussed what it means to dress for success in… Continue reading Spring cleaning your personal brand
2018 Resolutions
I love New Year’s Eve. Not for going out (always overrated, in my opinion), but because of the fresh start it promises. I enjoy looking back on my year, seeing what I accomplished, and setting new goals for myself. It’s a good way to ensure that you never stop growing.

How to be the most informed girl at the water cooler
When I first enrolled in undergrad, I declared my major as journalism. I loved to write, and I loved to play anchor in front of the green screen in our broadcast studio, but the problem was that I didn’t love the news. Especially the local news. I wish I did.
