The Skimm

First of all...

Cheers to the end of a stressful week. The thought of Thanksgiving break in just a couple of weeks is the only thing giving me the energy to keep going these days! 

Due to all the craziness and business of my schedule, I figured out that my knowledge of the world's current events is decreasing at an alarming rate. In high school, I was pretty good about keeping up with the news through television and through online sources. But the craziness of jumping into an entirely new life has thrown me off and I was completely unaware of the world around me! Maybe it's just me, but that is slightly alarming. 

But then, I was introduced to my new favorite thing. Ever.

Introducing: 

theSkimm is a free news subscription that emails you the day's headlines every morning of every week day. It's witty, light-hearted, and downright hilarious. I also love that they hyperlink points in their stories that take you directly to the primary news article. 

It only takes 5-10 minutes to read, and I am feeling more informed all ready! I encourage you to join me in the act of skimming! Also, keep in mind that if you sign up today you won't receive your first email until Monday :)

Do you have any favorite news sources?
