When Social Media Isn’t Like Breathing

September 14, 2010

In the past few months, life has changed. I moved from Minneapolis to St. Louis, then to Blacksburg. I left my job and started an MBA program. I have a completely new kind of schedule. All of that brings me to this conclusion: I find that I’m just not online as often anymore. Contributing to […]

Women Count

September 9, 2010

When I previously wrote “I want to make a dent on this world,” I truly believed that I have every opportunity to accomplish that. I just need to do my part. What I may not have said is that sometimes it gets a little hard to remember that kind of a goal when you get […]

Being the Active Individual

September 6, 2010

Is it just me, or are we all suddenly a society of passive people? Maybe it’s not society as a whole, but somehow I manage to keep running into people who are disgruntled, yet do nothing about it. Is it because there’s some grand illusion out there that one person can’t make a difference? That’s […]

Complements Attract

We know that adage: Opposites attract. Sadly, it doesn’t always work that way. I think it’s because our true opposite is really too different.

Pushing Conspiracy

August 26, 2010

As a journalist and blogger, I know that part of my own role is to question. It could be policies or habits, other opinions and my own. In fact, I’ve had to stop myself from having every title be in the form of a question because that’s how I think. All the drama with WikiLeaks […]

Does Being Pro-Corporate Make Me a Joiner?

August 24, 2010

I like structure. I like learning from people who have come before me. As I like to say, “I can think outside of the box, but there needs to be a box.” That’s why I enjoyed my time in the corporate world. Sure, there were days that are a little frustrating, but that’s how it […]

Scanty Fashion Not Just Inappropriate for School

August 18, 2010

Recently I read a story by Aisha Sultan in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch called “Clothes Send a Message.” Sultan wrote about clothing brands that claim to be geared toward the 20-something woman but seem to advertise for teen girls. These brands market using scantily clad women in questionable outfits. Unfortunately, most school dress codes don’t include […]

Business Lessons from Watching Cardinals Baseball

August 11, 2010

As I head off for Virginia Tech, I thought I’d give a little summary of what I’ve learned from my summer watching Cardinals baseball. And of course, I’ve managed to learn business lessons, but don’t worry, I know about RBIs, batting averages, and why you’d make a call to the bullpen. When the Air is […]
