When + How To End A Conversation
This super awesome guest post comes from my girl Kelly of Adulting fame. She was sweet enough to interview me for the 'making friends as a grownup' chapter in her best-selling book!

34 New Things: Watch ‘Rear Window’
Each year I make a list of new things I want to try. Some are exciting, some are mundane, some are really, really difficult. You can read about past adventures here. Friends, I have spent much of my life living under a proverbial rock, film-wise. I didn't see The Goonies till I was 22 (and, spoiler alert, that skeleton organ does little for college kids), I've only seen one Harry Potter...
