I think there are going to be a lot of great things about working at a university, first and foremost: university art courses. This video makes me so excited, I can’t wait.
I’m a very good dancer. I don’t have time for Dancing With the Stars, but I would win.

Martha Stewart (via beenthinking) I’m not sure if it’s because she makes the greatest macaroni and cheese on earth or if it’s because she’s a strong successful woman and there still aren’t enough of them out there but I’m a hage Martha Stewart fan and if she ever had the time, I just might turn on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and for the first time ever, care. |
My boyfriend and I have both acquired a terrible addiction to aloe juice. So sweet so refreshing… When he came home with this, well, it made my night. (Taken with instagram)
Imposter Syndrome
I suffer from this… at least every time I start a new job I do, it is terrifying:
Research that began in 1978 with the work of psychotherapists Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes found that many women with notable achievements also had high levels of self-doubt. This deep lack of confidence—which couldn’t be equated with anxiety or other disorders—appeared to involve a deep sense of inauthenticity and an inability to internalize their successes.
These individuals often have the belief they are “fooling” other people, “faking it” or getting by because they have the right contacts or are just plain “lucky.” Many hold a belief they’ll be exposed as frauds or fakes. Impostor Syndrome goes far beyond normal bouts of self-doubt.
Referring to impostor feelings among career women, public speaker and consultant Valerie Young, Ph.D., notes that their fears can “prevent them from fully enjoying their success and seizing opportunities, and can cause them to overwork to compensate for supposed deficiencies.

pre-new-years-resolution festivities
I, like most everyone else, try to start the new years on a healthy note… exercise more, eat better etc. Though my resolutions (yeah I make resolutions) usually consist of travel destinations and creative feats like novel writing, personal design assignments and photography submissions. We’re spending this holiday week up north, we had some visitors for the past couple days in which we indulged in complete debauchery leading up to the new year where we’ll try to turn over a new leaf and be good and healthy once again. Until then…
