  • Why Anxiety is Funny and How I Cope With it.

    I decided that for this post I wanted to talk about something that is a) relatable and b) gives some insight into my personality. I follow several blogs and love it when the blogger reveals something about who they are, it makes me feel as though I know them better and they’re not just personas…

  • (What is) First Class Act

    Every time I tell someone about my blog, the first thing they ask me is: what is it about? A lot of times my brilliant answer is “uhh…” Having experienced this embarrassing inadequacy several times now I thought it would probably be a good idea to establish what exactly First Class Act is all about.…

  • Why Strong is Better than Pretty

    For most of my life I was obsessed with being pretty; my happiness depended on whether or not I liked what I saw in the mirror. I was convinced that how other people treated me was completely dependent on my looks, I also thought my looks would determine my success. Looking back I can’t believe…

  • Four Simple Tips for Financial Freedom

    Money is an integral part of our lives. (Duh). Almost everything we need and want has to be paid for. The problem is, with most people there always seems to be a lack of money. Often, (especially in college) I hear people saying they’re broke; whether because they actually feel that way or because it’s just something college…

  • Summer 2014

    The 30 Day Health Challenge has started and so far I’ve really enjoyed it. I think eating healthy can be so fun and exciting (is that dorky?), I’ve been cooking foods that are nutritious (and delicious), so far they’ve all been a success; so weird.  I’ve also been reading Cameron Diaz’s ‘The Body Book.’ I…

  • 30 Day Challenge

    Halfway through the week! I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that this is my last week of class, so crazy! But I can’t really say I’m not looking forward to summer either, I mean like, really looking forward to it. One of the things I love most about summer is that even while…

  • I want to start out today’s post by saying that most of my days are pretty awesome. I consider myself an optimistic person and usually I’m able to keep a good attitude even when things aren’t going exactly my way. Also, most of the time I really don’t have anything to complain about, I am…

  • Change Your Habits, Change your Life

    So the time has come, finals are almost upon us. For most people that means late nights, (or in my case, reeaally early mornings), frantic reading and writing, note cards full of big words and important people and most importantly, a lot of coffee. When we have looming deadlines and fear-inducing amounts of work to…

  • 4 Beauty Products I cannot live without.

    On Friday I came to Charleston and my visit has been absolutely wonderful. Yesterday we went shopping and had an awesome lunch downtown at a bakery called Kudzu’s, they have some of the best ham and cheese croissants I’ve ever had, (and trust me, I’ve had a ton of croissants). Later I was reunited with…

  • Winspiration Wednesday: Happiness vs Pleasure

    Everyone wants to be happy, we just do. It’s what we’re made for. We were made for happiness. We were made to become the best version of ourselves. So why is it that we’re not? You can blame your environment, your teachers, your parents or brownies (my personal downfall) but the only thing that gets…
