This was a tough week. I was sick, tired and I'm starting to really realize I'm not going back to school in two weeks. I don't want to talk about it, it's really sad.

Summer is dwindling down and I have to say, it's a shock how fast it went. Is this what adulthood is like?

Anyways...there were some fabulous and funny stuff all over the Internet this week, as per usual. Isn't it fabulous how there is always something new to read or learn? I love it!

A Pinterest recipe that needs to be in my life right now.

This list sparked an intense feeling in me. I agreed with some but not all. #1 definitely deserves it though.

Is there really anyone better than Cory and Topanga? The answer is no. 

This was one of the best EveryGirl profiles I've read. 

Beauty products that work instantly are my favorite kind. 

I love Ariana Grande, a lot but she will never be The Queen. 

How do you not love this story? It's way too precious. 

Happy Friday and have a fabulous weekend :)

This week was bittersweet, in many ways. I started my first job (WOO, definitely the SWEET) part and it has been such a fantastic experience so far. Working in an office takes some getting used too and it just feel weird, because it's my first job. My post graduate life has actually begun and it's kind of scary.

The bitter part is just me. Always something, always in a mood.

Um, also, it's August 1st!!!! Where did the summer go? I'm so confused.

I wasn't online as much as I wanted to be this week, getting into the swing of commuting to Manhattan and getting adjusted to not being home every second of every day was odd. Even not being attached my computer this week allowed me to find some lovely links, articles, and blog posts as usual.

This profile on Carly Cardellino, beauty editor at Cosmopolitan is everything and more!

Happy Friday :)

It was a short week it seemed like and I had my fair share of fun. The SGG Conference was a blast and I can't wait to fill you all in next week! Tomorrow I head to the Her Campus Conference and I can't wait to meet all my fellow HC Bloggers.

Even with the short week and the not so great (hot, sticky and humid) weather, there were a ton of articles, lists, and blog posts to love. 

I don't know if I've ever loved anyone as much as I love my college friends

RORY AND JESS WERE EVERYTHING AND THIS ARTICLE PROVES IT

What did you love reading this week?

As a Journalism student/future journalist, I am trained to love good writing and good writers. It's by human nature that you can tell when something is good writing but as a journalist, you're able to pick up on different things.

Over the past four years I've learned how to read and write like a journalist, whether I'm reporting the news or writing a feature story. I know all the elements of a good, well written article and I know what it takes to capture a reader's attention.

Aside from good writing, great content is just as important. It takes a really good idea to inspire a writer and really get into the article. You can tell when a writer doesn't like what they're writing about, at least I can. I've done it before; I've been on deadline and wrote whatever came to my mind because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to say about the topic. When I re-read my article, it was obvious that it wasn't my best work because it wasn't something I was passionate about.

I always enjoy reading an article that I know the author really enjoyed writing, it makes it that much more real and significant.

I also love opening up a magazine or reading an article online and immediately being captured by the lede. Any journalism professor will tell you that the lede is the most important part of your article and as a reader, you know that the opening line of any article is what draws you in. I love when I see a lede that just hits the home run, it makes me incredibly happy.

Aside from knowing a good article, good content and a good writer, as a journalist it's important to read as much as you can and know what kind of writer you want to be. I think the best way to learn what kind of writer you want to be is by reading as much as possible in that field/industry. I think having a favorite journalist is important and recognizing their style of writing is just as necessary.

You'll hear a lot of journalism students say that their favorite journalists are famous TV anchors or someone well known that writes for the New York Times, someone they feel like they're supposed to say. A lot of journalism students have always known they wanted to be a journalist and have been following them since they were children. I don't think I've ever had a favorite journalist/writer until now.

Over the past few months, I've obsessively been reading Comsopolitan. I've finally discovered what all the fuss is about--it's not just a magazine about sex. It's a true women's magazine that empowers ladies everywhere. It has fashion, beauty, celebrities, and sex but it also has career advice, real life women stories, and everything in between. It's for the well rounded, successful, professional woman and the journalists that write for it have their head on straight.

As I was reading the magazine and the website, I began to notice who my favorite articles were written by. They all had the same tone, the same voice...I was completely obsessed with all these articles and how well written they were. The content was incredible as well but the voice of the author just swept me away.

Anna Breslaw writes some of my favorite Cosmo articles and feature pieces. They're hilarious, well written, and she just hits every topic right on the head. She has such a great understanding of the young culture and what it means to be a millennial. 

I really just admire her writing and her creative ability. She really gets it and I love it.

As I was looking through Breslaw's article archive on Cosmo.com, I realized how many articles she writes per day. It's quite insane. She doesn't just write fun, funny feature articles either--she writes a lot of hard hitting Cosmo news also. It goes to show you how far her range is.

I won't lie when I say I desire to be as good of a writer as Anna and it's no secret that I'd kill for her job.

Here are some of my favorite articles by Anna Breslaw; I'm sure you'll understand why I'm so obsessed once you read them.

The 9 Stages of Communication in a Relationship

Social Media Regrets We've All Made

The Best Things About Being a Basic Bitch

There are also a few articles that are a little too graphic for me to post here but you get the hint. Anna Breslaw is my journalistic spirit animal and I'm looking forward to reading so much more from her!

Who are some journalists/writers you admire? Tell me in the comments!

Next Tuesday is the day I've been waiting for since becoming an Intern Queen Campus Ambassador! The Intern Queen Party is being held on July 30th in NYC at the Ann Taylor Flagship Store. This is the 3rd Annual Intern shindig that will bring all interns together from all over the city and beyond.

Their will of course, in true Intern Queen style, be a panelist there from career experts from Cosmopolitan to Mashable to Sirius XM Radio. It's being sponsored by Intel, Chipotle, Marie Claire, and MANY MORE!

I am so excited to be part of this wonderful experience and listen to advice from some of the best internship coordinators and career experts around. 

There are already over 1000 RVSPs so if you're around NYC next Tuesday at 7:00pm, come to Madison Ave for a huge party with the best interns in the area! Register here :) (PS, it's FREEEEEEEE)

Being an Intern Queen Campus Ambassador has opened a world wide of doors for me and I'm so happy to be part of this team. 

The 3rd Annual IQ Party is going to be INCREDIBLE, you are not going to want to miss it :)

I am a huge book worm; I love reading a good book and getting lost in the world the author has set up for me. 

During the school year, I rarely get a chance to sit down and read because I'm so busy. That's why over this break, I am making a true effort to read as much as possible. 

There are definitely a few books that I have been dying to read and I really want to get through them!

1. The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe 

Who isn't fascinated by this iconic woman? I know I am, always have been but I have never gotten the chance to read up on her. I bought this book for $5 at one of Barnes and Nobles sales during the summer and completely forgot about it until I found it in my desk drawer! This will be one of the first books I tackle!

2. Lilly

My main girl Lilly Pulitzer--she has become an icon for me over the past few months and I am simply obsessed with the Lilly Pulitzer brand. I stumbled upon this book by Kathryn Livingston while searching Barnes and Noble.com and knew I had to read it immediately. I really just want to learn more about who Lilly was and how she became the Queen of Pink and Green.

3. I Shouldn't be Telling You This-Kate White

This book was written by former Cosmopolitan editor in chief, Kate White. I watched Ms. White on Levo League's Office Hours last week and was amazed by how incredible she is! (She even retweeted and favorited some of my tweets and I was dying!)

During Office Hours she offered words of wisdom and advice to young women getting started in their careers. I think this book will be extremely helpful to young women everywhere in understand what they need to do in order to have the most successful career they want. Who else better to learn from than a Cosmo Girl herself?

4. Paris in Love-Eloise James

I feel like people everywhere have been talking about this book! It's been on my wish list for quite some time now but I really want to start it. It sounds like an "Eat Pray Love" type of memoir where a woman just up and moved her life to Paris. It sounds interesting and I am fascinated by Paris--sounds like a win-win!

5. Burned-Sara Shepard.

I cannot get enough of Pretty Little Liars, whether it's on my television screen or I'm reading about it in book form. It's so scary and deceitful...it's the perfect young adult novel. I do wish that Shepard would've ended the series at the 8th book like she planned but I don't hate the continuation, it's definitely satisfying my Rosewood cravings.

This is the 12th book in the series and I just downloaded it onto my Nook' it doesn't take me long to read one of the bad boys, it'll take me no more than two days so I can't wait!

What books are you looking forward to reading over Christmas break?
