I work too much and I know it.But there&#8217;s just something about getting things done that makes me feel accomplished and invigorated&#8230;until I burn out and turn into a lump. Yes. A lump. A gigantic lump of stress, worry, and disappointment. A lump that makes for a poor conversationalist. You know exactly what I&#8217;m talking about. You&#8217;ve done it too and you hate the [...]]]></description>

Guest blogging is booming! Well, in my case, I&#8217;ve been quite busy posting on some other sites.
Here&#8217;s a quick recap:
A Young Professional&#8217;s Guide to Internship Interviews: This post on The Communications Blog was SO much fun to research and write. I got some great feedback and because of this posts, I&#8217;ve been able to secure a few more post ideas and even a pretty awesome interview with PR pro Deirdre Breakenridge. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve seen a lot of people &#8211; and businesses &#8211; jump into social media well before they&#8217;re ready. Instead of going in with a clear idea, strategy, or even some sense, they just decide that it&#8217;s enough to have a Facebook or Twitter profile. It&#8217;s not. The &#8220;me too!&#8221; mentality doesn&#8217;t work. You have to have a purpose.
Before starting any social media efforts on behalf of a brand, business, or even yourself, you must take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy seems to be quite in vogue these days. Between books like The Happiness Project and major merchandise deals surrounding Elizabeth Gilbert&#8217;s Eat Pray Love, the culture of happy is just&#8230;wow. It&#8217;s a money maker. It&#8217;s a life changer. It&#8217;s a mover and a shaker. OK, enough with the rhymes, but you get the picture. Happiness and its pursuit have been a dominant theme in contemporary pop culture. Being a hopeless optimist, I&#8217;m actually kind of glad [...]]]></description>

Yesterday, I ate my lunch alone. Actually, I eat lunch alone quite a bit, and you know what, it&#8217;s really ok.
Look, I know that they&#8217;ve written books about how you shouldn&#8217;t eat alone, but I value the few moments I have in my day when I can just stop and think. If you know me outside of this blog, you know that I&#8217;m a work like mad kind of person. I look angry when I [...]]]></description>

A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with an old classmate from LLHS. Andy, who is currently living and working in Asia, is living the dream. He&#8217;s traveling and doing what he loves &#8211; and to me, that&#8217;s pretty darn awesome.
He and I chatted about what we were up to and though we never talked much in high school, we had the chance to connect over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First off, I absolutely love SlideShare.net. I think it&#8217;s a great resource and I&#8217;ve used it MANY times to gather some info. Well, as of today, I have uploaded my first presentation on there! It&#8217;s a persuasive speech I gave in my public presentation class on social media and how it affects our relationships. Check it out and enjoy! (and as always, give lots of feedback!)

		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m trying out something new and I&#8217;m really quite excited about it. : )
It&#8217;s called Business 2 Blogger. Ok, just by looking at it you can guess that it has something to do with blogging and businesses, but I promise that it seems a whole lot cooler. Basically, it&#8217;s this free service that hooks up bloggers with some paid writing gigs. Since I&#8217;m putting myself through graduate school and have a very hungry kitty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In so many blogs, we see posts about how businesses can utilize social media to strengthen their bottom line. But what about non-profits? I recently responded to a HARO  query looking for information on how social media can help non-profits connect with donors and it got me thinking about how non-profits can be so different from businesses in the social media sphere. ]]></description>
