Although I may be preparing to live in a tiny dorm for another year, gallery walls have been on my mind, as of late.  Gallery walls can be such conversation starter in the room.  They can often brighten up the space and add some color to a blank wall. For a more "grown up" look in my dorm room this year, I decided...

As previously discussed in my blog, I have been keeping busy this summer with my internship.  In fact. it inspired me to create my blog in order to learn more about my job in digital marketing.  Last week I received an email from the Human Resources manager in charge of my internship program, explaining that we must give a presentation on the summer...

Happy Hump Day!  Hope you all are enjoying what's left of this summer because I definitely I am.  A month from today I will yet again be packing my bags (however, to be fair some of my bags have yet to be unpacked) and going back to school.  Another tidbit is that a exactly month ago, I wrote my first blog post.  Crazy...

I am the type of person who LOVES giving gifts.  It could be a teacher, neighbor, friend- I enjoy surprising people with something whether it be planned out or impromptu.  Luckily, my gift giving skills will be put to good use with my dad's birthday coming up next week.

I am still shocked by the number of restaurants in CLE.  As a young professional, convenience is everything.  While I do enjoy cooking and discovering new recipes, I don't mind dining out every once in a while.  And living in Cleveland, the options here are plentiful.  In fact, last year Cleveland was ranked 7th in the nation on Time.com's "Best Foodie Cities" list....

I find it very difficult to be sitting at my desk and staring at a computer screen all day.  During my job, there is a definite lack in social interaction.  Corporate life can be exciting, but also tiring.  The company I work for has a massive campus holding more than 350 employees and it's easy to get lost- whether that be in the...
