10 things I wish I knew before adopting kittens #ad #CelebratingMorris / ew & pt

About two months ago I adopted kittens on a whim. I went to go look at them— the key word here is “look.” I swore I wasn’t going to adopt them then and there.

Twenty minutes later I left with a few cans of 9Lives and two kittens in a cardboard box. I’ve introduced Luca and Bub on the blog but I’ve never actually been honest about just how overwhelming, but wonderful adopting two kittens has been.

Even though I don’t go hiking through waterfalls and traveling the world on a daily basis, I think my life is pretty interesting. I just adopted two kittens (and made them an Instagram), I intern in NYC five days a week and I’m only 21. There’s a lot going on.

The adulting guide to finding a job - job hunt tips // ew & pt

I have applied to hundreds of internships and jobs. I was the girl with the spreadsheet who spent all of my senior year of college in an anxious panic about having nowhere to go and nothing to do post-grad. Things worked out. But, finding a job was not an easy task. It was a never-ending process—and since I’m only in my twenties and am unsure of my career path, it still is.

Job hunting doesn’t have to make you eat ice cream out of the carton and lie on the floor in a hopeless state. It will probably never be fun, but there are a few ways to make it a hell of a lot easier.

10 Things To Do After Graduation



Thank you GEICO for sponsoring this post.

10 Things To Do After Graduating College - Things to do after graduation // ew & pt

As a lot of you know, I’m graduating college this semester! As someone who is a huge worrier, I am already writing down all of the things I need to do when I graduate. And I’m also making dozens of spreadsheets.

I mean, this is it. I will, officially, be an adult. I can buy alcohol and I can rent an apartment but also I have to start paying even more attention to my credit score and savings. Post-grad life is going to be stressful but it’s also going to be exciting. Here’s exactly what’s on my to do list after I graduate.
