Putting those god damn delicious looking ‘chos as the stock image was a cruel, cruel thing to do as I’m working on shedding off the holiday weight with a salad at my desk.
Solo travel girl: DO IT. I’ve been lucky enough to travel for work to European countries for the last few years, and that’s meant that my weekends the week after my trips have been spent in amazing cities completely alone. Traveling alone helps you find yourself and find new friends, as well as building confidence without the safety net of another person to hide behind.
Try it out, it’s not for everyone, but if you like it, you’ll get addicted.
MyFitnessPal is without a doubt the most used app on my phone. I am down to 195 from 225 back in October just by watching what I eat 5-6 days a week and still enjoying my weekends. Now if only I could transfer my meticulousness of my diet to my monthly budget…
This. I had 0 intentions of ever asking my current gf, because I’ve learned from the past that I’d just rather not know. She brought it up because she wanted to make sure she was honest with me and it fucked with me a little. I’ve since gotten over it and honestly couldn’t care less at this point, but it was definitely something I would have rather not dealt with in the first place.
Am I the only one that thinks that 99% of girls don’t want to be hit on at the gym? I feel like most people want to get their shit done and leave, not pull out their headphones in between sets to talk to some dude in a cut off that’s been staring at their ass the whole time.
No day off on Friday, but our HR lady somehow convinced the boss to give us the entire week off next week. Working for a company based in Italy has it’s perks, those bastards love PTO/extended holidays.
Same. I moved from Cleveland to Columbus and then down to Cincinnati, been here for two years and probably won’t go back despite my family being there. The weather is constantly 10 degrees warmer and I feel like the city’s rebound has been stronger. Although I do get nostalgic when I go back to Cleveland and see it doing so well.
I highly recommend both of his books, “Paddle Your Own Canoe” and “Gumption” at every chance I get. Paddle Your Own Canoe is pretty much a long form version of this interview and it’s a great read.
Jesus Christ this hit way too close to home for a Tuesday. I finally moved into my own place with my dog and no roommates for the first time since freshman year of college, and I got excited about buying a nice vacuum. Shit, I’m still excited about it. I haven’t even gotten close to thinking about decorating…
Damn, I needed this. I haven’t been able to shake that annoying feeling that I’m the only single person in the world whenever I go to the grocery store a lot of young professionals frequent in my area. Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded to just chill out and that you’re doing okay for yourself just by having a job, paying off your student debt and getting your shit together.
Amen. I just did the same thing with a recent business trip to Italy, except I bounced around Europe for a few weeks after my business assignment there was up. Doing it alone is really the only way I can picture it at this point in my life because I’m single and don’t have the same travel interests/free time as many of my friends. It was a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to do it again.
… sup?

Will deFries is the George RR Martin of basic girls.

You’re a masochist.
It’s shocking to me that Will seems to have such a grasp over the inner workings of their minds.
This random resurgence of ice in white wine can be blamed solely on Johnny D.
You could save a lot of unnecessary conversation by going to a bar with more than one tv…

Wow, every day you have an article about something new you hate. Being friends with you and avoiding pissing you off must be sorta exhausting.
Take Sweet Water’s “Hop Hash” double IPA for example.
Doing everything on your own timeline for two straight weeks is definitely the way to go at this point in our lives. Enjoy that trip.
