I feel like I keep having to mention posts I've already written, but they just keep being relevant! In August 2017, I wrote a post called "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" (read it here). It talks about how I worry about life. News flash: I still worry, even three years later. But you know what, … Continue reading Don’t Sweat It

Making a Comeback
I talked a few weeks ago about the idea of overcoming perfectionism (read it here). I still absolutely feel that way, and what I want to talk about this week is directly related to this topic. The problem with perfectionism, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, is that if you can't get it immediately, … Continue reading Making a Comeback
A Beginner’s Guide to the Gym
As places begin to hopefully open where you are, one of the things that should be opening is the gym. Maybe you've gained a few pounds during quarantine (no judgment).

Handling Stress
I've talked about stress before, but except for a post last month where I talked about how not to be stressed at a stressful job (read it here), I realized I've never done a post on how I handle my stress.

If they lash out because of what they're feeling, then it becomes my problem … Continue reading How Not to be Stressed at a Stressful Job

This first week of student teaching has already been a whirlwind. I'm trying to learn the names of 150 7th graders, keep their names (and class) straight, and trying to learn them so that we can both benefit from this time together. I won't lie to you: I don't think this will be an easy … Continue reading Assuming Responsibility
2020 Vision
Happy 2020! This has been a year I've thought about for a while. This is the year that I graduate from college and get a job based on my degree! That's so crazy to me! I said this last year, but the first post I do as a blogger (in my mind, at least) sets … Continue reading 2020 Vision

Many people are uncomfortable with public speaking. It doesn't bother me because I've been doing it for so long, but I … Continue reading Speech Tips
