Unfiltered

I recently got back from some trips with college friends, and now that I'm officially working and living alone, I can say that this week has marked the start of my "adulting" and "post-grad" life. As always, I have a lot of reflections, so listen as I share a glimpse into what my past week in this new chapter of my life has been like.
