WHAT YOU SHOULD BE BINGING (PLUS, WHERE TO STREAM IT)

The credits roll on the show you’ve just binged and all the sudden that “Next episode will start in” countdown is gone. In its place is an image for a new show that Netflix thinks you’ll like but you know you probably won’t. Panic ensues. What’s next??

FACT OR FICTION: NOBODY LIKES YOU WHEN YOU’RE 23?

There’s nothing special about 23. The only claim to fame we get is the Blink-182 song that declares “Nobody likes you when you’re 23.” Is it true? I always thought 21 was the big birthday to look forward to. There were finally no more restrictions. I would be a “real adult” — whatever that means.…

WHY TODAY COULD BE THE DAY YOUR LIFE CHANGES

There are a few pivotal moments in my life. Spoiler alert: they were all seemingly insignificant moments at the time. We agonize about big events in our lives, but it blows me away how often it’s the little moments that make the most difference. One of those moments I think about a lot was when I…

WHAT I WOULD TELL MYSELF AT SIXTEEN: PART 2

I’m sorry, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, ’cause she’s too busy worrying about things that don’t matter anymore. A few years back, I wrote a post reflecting on what I would tell myself at sixteen. Now felt like a good time to revisit that idea. My brother and…

WHY WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR THE GOOD AND THE BAD

Be grateful for your mistakes. They will teach you so much more than any of your successes ever could. We spend so much time striving for success and to be the very best versions of ourselves. But success is overrated. Here’s why: no one wants to hear about your success. It’s true. People want to…

WHY MILLENNIALS NEED TO FIND PURPOSE

Millennial. I said it. It’s like a bad word. But say it with me, and say it so the people in the back can hear, “I’m a millennial.” Really get it out. “I’m a millennial.” One more time. “I’M A MILLENNIAL.” Great, now that that’s out of our systems, can we proceed? Why did we…

WHY I STILL WRITE

As long as I can remember, I’ve been a writer. In third grade, sometimes my friends and I would ask to go out to the hall during story time after recess. Instead of hearing other people’s stories, we wanted to write our own. We wrote these stories in my Garfield notebook. They were about our…

8 THINGS I LEARNED FROM MOVING ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Moving away from home was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m not talking about college. My entire college career was nothing in comparison to this. But living in the next state over is nothing like packing everything you own into your car and road tripping across the country. I wouldn’t go as far…
