Life Lessons 1

Here are some things I've learned:

1. Treat everyone with respect and love and know that not everyone is going to look out for your best interest.
2. Not everyone is your "friend" no matter how long you have known them.My dear, frenemies and haters are rampant these days.
3. You should not remain friends with someone  just because you went to school with them. If they are not enhancing your life why bother (Vice versa).
4. Take time to notice and remember the little things like the people who check to see if you've landed safely from a flight.

Everyday Must Have Apps: Android

You ever wonder what some people are doing on their phones 24/7 well, I decided to share my favorite apps in hopes that maybe on these apps can help you.

Here are some of my favorite apps for Android:

Hydro Coach

I love the simplicity of this app. It tracks your water intake with frequent reminders using a coach. It is a great reminder to drink more water, after all the human body is made up of over 60% water.  I often also drink warm teas (without sugar) and also track it.

Soundcloud  and Spotify

Soundcloud is great because I don't have to create an account to listen to music or podcasts on my phone. Spotify allows you to create offline playlists, perfect for commuting or working out.

Hulu and Netflix,YouTube
The perfect entertainment apps for binge watching.

Instagram
Browse pretty pictures or stalk your crush (if you're a creeper like that)

Learning Post College

These past few months have been quite interesting. I think the job hunting process makes you so grateful for the things that you have. I think often times living in NYC, a  fast paced, environment   I often feel like I’m not doing enough as I could be doing. There’s this constant battle within to be better. These few months I have learned the following:

1. De-clutter and keep it that way.
For me personally,organization really affects the amount of work and things I actually get accomplished.  I recently went on a mini cleaning rampage. My mindset "shred everything,shred it all!Wait,I need that.." But seriously, I threw away so many magazines and receipts (I hate receipts *side eye*)

2.Change your attitude /perspective.
Your attitude also affects how much cleaning you actually get done. I always dreaded cleaning because I felt like it would take forever,but if you do a little each day while listening to music ( I prefer  Spotify,Pandora or Grooveshark ) it will get done faster. Stay positive when job hunting,take frequent breaks and think of every rejection or new positing as an opportunity.

3.Gratitude.
Be grateful for the things you have.You have  good health, a roof over your head, a degree! There are so many people all over the world that would kill for these luxuries.
