I've been thinking a lot about how much has changed in a year. Specifically, how much I've changed in a year. I remember how ridiculously petty and immature I acted, and how tremendously annoying I was at that time. I think about how I was so deeply unsatisfied in different parts of my life, and…

My Attempts at Making A Difference (Experiences in Non-profit Work)
As a young, working lady, it's common for people to ask me what industry I work in, and what exactly it is that I do. I think it comes to a huge surprise to people when I admit that I decided to forego from the typical college student job of an intern, retail sales associate,…

What is The Unabridged Sass? (Redux)
Look, it's two versions of me--the GOOP-y perfectly curled hair, put together version, and the real Unabridged Sass version with messy hair and a bright floral dress who goes on terrible dates! One thing that I am always trying to do is be a better version of myself, I think that's true in all aspects…
I Highkey Love Tea Bars
This summer I binge watched, and fell in love with Rachel Bloom's Crazy Ex Girlfriend. If you have not seen it yet--stop everything and go watch the show. It's revolutionary, funny, feminist as fuck, empowering, hilarious, and just absolutely amazing. But fair warning, if you watch this show, you will want boba. Seriously, I cannot tell you…
Week in Review: 9/5-9/12

I've kinda-sorta figured out the logistics of what I'm going to be doing regularly and what I want to accomplish...being sick in bed…
What is The Unabridged Sass?
Work, school, life, growing up, and the ten million other things happening...it's all really made me ask myself what I'm about. And specifically, what this blog is about. People always ask me what I blog about and what it is exactly that I do, and I always respond with, "I write about things I like."…
Say Yes to Adventure
It's so easy to be comfortable, and it becomes even easier to tolerate things. I'm a huge proponent of personal growth and moving forward, but sometimes you get to this point where you know that there is no more moving forward...so instead of finding a new way or a new adventure, you just get comfortable.…
Twenty One Things I Learned By Twenty One
I turned twenty one on August 14th. Twenty one is a strange age to turn, not necessarily because you can legally buy alcohol, but because that is considered to be the age of adulthood by a lot, lot, lot of people. It's the age when nothing is off-limits (well, maybe besides being president and renting…

The Internship of My Dreams
It is currently 1:22 AM, Chicago time. And instead of sleeping and dreaming of Kate Spade bags and Tory Burch flats, I am awake now, writing this blog entry. I can't sleep. And of course, the logical question for all of you to ask is, "Chrissey, why can't you sleep?" Well, it's because approximately five minutes…
