Hi friends! Today, I’m sharing a totally different type of post. Below are 52 of the best quotes about life (in my opinion), some of which are more famous than others. Why 52? So you can pick one to inspire you, carry you, or pull you through each week of the new year. I’d love to know which you’re starting with, so feel free to tag me on social media and let me know, and repin these until your heart’s content.
Happy Friday friends! Earlier this week a post I wrote for one of my favorite blogs, Stylish Academic, was shared and I wanted to repost it here for all of you to read too. I’d love to know your thoughts so feel free to share them in the comments!

Is anyone else in denial that it’s practically mid-May?? Life has been a blur, but a pretty good one, at least in April. Here are some of my favorites and your favorites, and a sneak peek at some May blog content!

I usually spend the first few weeks on winter break and cleaning out all the crap I’ve collected over the last year. I actually love it this way because it gives me two weeks to really think about my goals for the new year and not jump into anything too fast.

Happy New Year, friends! I’m still in vacation mode and not back home and back to work just yet. But, I’m excited to ease into the year a little bit. I did a poll last night on Instagram Stories and got a resounding YES to doing a 2017 highlight post – so here ya go!
Hey friends! I’ve been thinking about doing this post for a while and with the holidays approaching, it seems like a good time to discuss work-life balance.

So, here are my 5 tips for helping to find the balance or re-balance after busy times, and get ready, because these aren’t the typical tips you see in every other article about this.

I want to start by saying this post is honestly hard for me to write because to me, having a Ph.D. is simply a job credential. It does not define me, my relationships, or my way of life. So, do not mistake this post as some high on the hill story of how I overcame a bunch of adversity to become a college professor and PhDiva. 😉
Hey friends! I’m back with another installment of my “Office Hours” series where I share what it’s like to be a college professor. I always love reading “day-in-the-life” posts, so here’s what my Wednesday was like this week. If you want more info on what I do all summer, check out this post.
Happy Thursday, friends! I’m preparing to head to Chicago for a conference next week, so my brain is currently consumed with packing and preparing for my presentations. I thought it might be fun to see what I’m bringing and get some inspiration for inexpensive work clothes. Since I don’t report to an office every day, I am not a fan of spending a lot of money on my work wardrobe. Here’s what’s going in my bag and my tips for easier packing!
