How Defining Ideal You Can Make Her a Reality
Happy almost fall my quarter system sunshines! With only a few days before school starts, it’s time to get those brand spanking new planners out and think about what you want to accomplish in the coming year! We’ve spoken a lot about how to set goals, but today I want to share a little more about that first step of the process: visualizing your future! This summer, I started a meditation practice and often the guided meditations I listen to talk about manifesting your destiny.

How Restructuring Her Internship Search Helped this Psychology Major Get Hands On Clinical Experience
When every job in your chosen field requires grad school, how do you find a summer internship? Sarah McDonnell knew she wanted to use her Psychology degree, but hands-on clinical work without an advanced degree is really difficult to find.

Introducing Xoro Media
In December 2016, I was just a girl going to college 3000 miles from home, and struggling to find enough time in a day to do my homework, go to class, exercise, eat, and see friends. A little (some might say too) obsessed with personal organization systems and in need of a creative outlet, I started my blog Xoxo, Rosana, writing posts once a week in the dining hall. Things have changed: every other post is written by one of the amazing women in my life, and our podcast Get This Girl a Job just finished it’s first season. Now at the end of my third year of college, I…

5 Easy, Healthy Meals You Can Make With Chickpeas
After almost 9 months as a vegan, here is my love letter to the greatest thing added to my cooking repertoire: Chickpeas. This spring I have breaks in the middle of the day so I’ve been cooking almost every meal! Not only have I saved tons of money, I’ve also had a chance to try a bunch of new recipes. You may remember how deeply I hated cooking this time last year. When I went vegan, I didn’t have another choice than to start cooking. This was when I discovered that chickpeas are the easiest, cheapest vegan protein that I could ever imagine. Inspired by Alex the French Cooking Guy’s…

Table for One: A Guide to Brunching Alone
This week’s installment of Ro&Co features Samira’s guide to making the most of that sacred weekend morning meal: Brunch! So you’ve finally worked up the courage to do it alone. Brunch, that is.

Switch gears for a second, though. Remember, this is something you decided to do alone this time. You made a reservation on OpenTable, and booked a table for one. Or your friend cancelled on you 12 hours…
