Bienvenue a 2017

When I pictured my life at 23, it looked nothing like this. In my mind I figured I’d have a nice little apartment in Boston or San Francisco. Work in recruiting or marketing at some top firm. Go to yoga in the mornings and cook dinner with friends in the evenings. And that would be that. Instead, I just wrapped up…

Cross-Country Road Trip Vibes

For those of you who don’t know, I just finished road tripping 3,134 miles from Boston to LA to start my new job in Napa Monday. It was exhausting and exhilarating  and something I think everyone deserves to experience at least once in their life. This little snap shot is just a fraction of what we experienced out…

What Boston Gave Me

As far as I’m aware, I really haven’t had that first love yet. Plenty of great likes, sure, and even a few good heartbreaks, but never that can’t live without you, you are the music in me love. Something so big, your world is forever changed because of it, and no matter what happens you know you’ll…

A Definitive Breakdown of My Most Popular Spotify Playlists

I don’t know about you, but I love Spotify. Pandora had its moment and iTunes can get the job done if you need it to, but the ability to build playlists with your friends and constantly discover new music trumps all. Nothing makes me happier than being in a great place, with great people, having great tunes…

10 Things I Learned Woofing in Tuscany

In classic Hannah fashion, the past 17 days I’ve been too excited living life at Castello di Potentino to sit down and write about it all. But considering there’s some sort of Italian strike and my train’s delayed, now seems as good a time as any. I hardly know where to begin, or how to…

Somewhere between Insanity and a Daydream: Funemployment Begins

Thanks to the wonderful life milestone that is graduation, I’ve more or less been officially funemployed for two weeks now. In that time here’s what I’ve learned: 1. Funemployment’s not all it’s cracked up to be. When all your friends around you either have jobs already or are still in school, the world can be a…

Northeastern Bucket List

I don’t even know where to begin when thinking about this past semester. All I know is somehow I made it out alive on the other side, and that means this is it. I have exactly one year left at Northeastern, 362 days until I graduate and my undergraduate career is over. Real, world here…

Legalize It: 18+ Drinking with a License

For years now, I have been trying to understand the justification behind preventing American adults who can legally support themselves, make decisions about their own lives and even serve the country, from drinking. And today I finally feel as though I can say it—after all the hours of research projects, presentations on the subject, interviews,…

10 Principles for Success

According to Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, “All successful people operate by principles that help them be successful. Without principles, you would be forced to react to circumstances that come at you without considering what you value most and how to make choices to get what you want. This would prevent you from making…

22 Before 22

With the school year starting and everyone’s agendas already filling up, I thought I’d take a moment and think about what I’d love to accomplish this year. Of course there are the obvious things: building great relationships, excelling with the responsibilities and roles I’ve already found myself in, pursuing future careers, etc. But to make…
