currently hyperventilating about:
Grades
Cumulative GPA
Getting a job when I graduate
Getting into a good grad school
Mind you, I still have years of undergrad left…

BURP: taking class.
To my old followers: remember when that’s all I’d ever do? Remember my frequent videos of all the classes I’d take from different choreographers every week? Gosh, what happened to that Lizzy?
There was a fire that burned so bright within me back then… All I wanted to do was learn, train, and grow as a dancer. I made some continuous progress but then I just kind of stopped....

gentlemen don't.
I don’t want a guy who will rescue me or be my “provider.” I don’t need any of that bullshit; I don’t need to be rescued and I can take care of my damn self. I want someone who will treat me with respect; a gentleman… someone who will be my best friend… someone who will make me smile and laugh… someone to be my partner through this crazy life. I want...

future
So here I am, 6 AM Eastern Daylight Time, scared shitless at the thought of my future. I’m just starting out and I’m already worried about when I should start studying for the GMAT and how shitty my scores might turn out. I’m already assessing whether or not NYU Stern School of Business or possibly Columbia School of Business will accept me once I earn my bachelor’s degree,...

I really want to go to Disneyland
Or you know, visit SoCal in general
This 70 degree weather in New York City better be here to stay
Roaming the streets and people watching during this break reminded me that this city is seriously one of the most romantic places in the world
South Street Seaport is beautiful at night. I don’t know why I don’t eat at the cute restaurants by Pier...
Is it really so difficult to find chill-as-fuck, ambitious, food-loving, music-loving, intelligent people? Apparently so. Where ya’ll at?!
Anonymous asked: Hi Lizzy. So I dream of becoming a doctor in the future. The thing is: I'm at a community college and my grades aren't perfect (I have some b's on my transcript). I'm hoping to transfer to a University from here but I feel sort of discouraged. Is my dream out of reach?

ambition.
I can’t stand people without ambition. Thankfully, I never have to deal with people like that here. In fact, I’m surrounded by ambitious, driven, motivated, smart, unique people every single day… and it’s actually ridiculously intimidating. Every day all my friends are on their grind. Making moves. Interning for PR Consulting, or WWD or Vogue or some other Conde Nast...

This Lenten Season...
….Is going to be difficult.
It’s my first Lent away from home and my first Lent where I’m not in a Catholic school. I can already tell it’s going to be different by the way people looked at me as I was walking to campus with my ashes on my forehead. New York City is incredibly diverse, but diversity doesn’t necessarily coincide with open-mindedness.
Ever since I...

great.
I want to be great at something. I feel like I’m good at a lot of things, but not great… not super spectacular or special at a singular specific thing.
What is it with these amazingly talented dancers, singers, musicians, photographers, etcetera? I wish I was great in at least one artistic medium… But because I’m not, I’m feeling like Ms. Mediocre all over again,...

sunday-foodie-funday
Sunday Funday: Wanted to grab dinner away from our residence hall, but we were way too lazy to go very far. So we headed to the East Village because it’s right there, there are a lot of options, and all the options aren’t too pricey.

Went to Mark to grab some inexpensive and delicious sliders. This place is so unexpectedly delicious....

A Message to Women From a Man: You Are Not “Crazy”
(Via Yashar)
You’re so sensitive. You’re so emotional. You’re defensive. You’re overreacting. Calm down. Relax. Stop freaking out! You’re crazy! I was just joking, don’t you have a sense of humor? You’re so dramatic. Just get over it already!
Sound familiar?
If you’re a woman, it probably does.
Do you ever hear any of these comments from your spouse, partner, boss, friends, colleagues, or...
dannyhiga:
She’s coffee at seven after-midnight. With her dark brown cocoa eyes, cream coloured skin, and a sugar packeted personality along with a twist. She’s nothing more than a cup full of steamy endorphins waiting to burn your tongue. She’s the newspaper you pick up on the way to work. Her stories, her words, her eloquent voice is all you want to inhale. She’s nothing more than an inked...

BURP: Ms. Mediocre
Not feeling wonderful at all. My biggest fear is mediocrity and a lot of what I’ve done (or, rather, haven’t done) is even less than mediocre. I take on responsibilities because I know I can handle everything that comes with each obligation and because I feel that I can bring something special to the table.
But why haven’t I brought anything substantial to the table?
I have to...
