About Us!




The Originals

My name is Amanda. I’m 20 years old and currently a sophomore in college. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. I’m a Psychology major with a passion for babies and dogs. I hope to open my own private practice and be a clinical psychologist. I love country music, fashion, and anything that sparkles, as well as, soft serve ice cream, Vera Bradley, and the color yellow. I enjoy wearing sweaters, spending my time on Pinterest, and staying classy. I wish I could live in clothing from Victoria’s Secret and jewelry from Marc Jacobs and have a person to do my hair and makeup every morning (a girl can dream). I’m obsessed with my niece and nephew, Facebook, Nicholas Sparks’ movies and buying clothing and accessories. I love my boyfriend, my family, my friends, and my faith. I hope that this blog brings you courage and a true feeling that you are unconditionally and forever loved.



Hi, everyone! My name is Caty (pronounced Kay-tee, not Caddy like people mistakenly say in Mean Girls) and I am a student preparing for the wonderful career of being a nurse. I love movies and television and great conversation. Name anything from Gone with the Wind to Star Wars to (500) Days of Summer to The Artist, and I have probably seen it and can quote something from it. Despite the fact that I spend a lot of my time studying, I am always down for a Doctor Who or Arrested Development marathon. Proudly, I am a geek and a sucker for pictures of cute animals and memes featuring babies as well as breathtaking nature scenes and portraits. Art, literature, and children inspire me most in life, which is why I would like to work with children in the future. Through my love of art I would really like to explore the idea of beauty and show all of you how life truly is beautiful from every angle. I experience my life deeply and intensely because of my amazing boyfriend, friends, and family who always remind me that I am unique, respected, influential, and loved.



Hi I’m Catherine! I’m a Child Development major (with a possible second major in Cognitive and Brain Science) at Tufts University in Boston, but I’m taking a semester to study at Carnegie Mellon and live with my family in Pittsburgh. I’m passionate about children, and I’ll consider my life wasted if I don’t spend it devoted to teaching, healing, learning about, and helping them. I love baking and knitting and tea. I inherited an obsession with interior decorating from my mom and a fascination with computer programming from my dad. I’m dating a self-proclaimed meathead and car enthusiast, but don’t let that fool you—really he’s just an over-enthusiastic English major with a soft spot for kittens. (I fell for him the moment I heard the way he talks to his cats.) I believe that reality is positive and full. I don’t believe in faith that doesn’t change you. Most of all I believe in the dignity of humanity and the human heart.




New Bloggers!

Hey everyone! My name is Saige Foster, and I went to high school with Caty, Catherine, and Amanda. The three of them are some of my best friends. I really respect those girls and think they have a lot of good advice. They asked me to be a co-blogger with them. Like them, I'm also a sophomore. I go to Allegheny College in Meadville, PA.

I have to admit, I've had a lot of trouble trying to figure out what to say in my bio. Who is Saige? Well, there's no straightforward answer. I'm a lot of things, and it's that combination of strengths and weaknesses that makes me beautiful, that makes me ME. Like Caty, Catherine, and Amanda, I've had a lot of life experience as well. I'm the oldest of five daughters. I absolutely adore my younger sisters and strive to be a good role model for them. I draw on what I've gone through to inspire and teach others and try to let it shape me for the better. A little history on me: At age eleven, my parents got divorced. This divorce has had a HUGE impact on me and my life and has helped to shape who I am today. Fortunately, I love my parents to death and have a great relationship with them and my other family members. I think everything in life happens for a reason, and that we're never given anything we can't handle. I've played volleyball since fifth grade. I went to college to play as well and played my freshman year. I decided to stop playing after freshman year in order to expand my horizons-have more time to study, branch out and make new friends, get involved in other clubs, do volunteer work, have time to read, etc. Speaking of reading, I LOVE to read. Haha, I am a true nerd. I have this obsession with buying cheap, used books on Amazon (I recently discovered Amazon this year. I'm a little slow technology-wise haha). I also love good food (who doesn't?)! I believe in taking care of my body, so I like to look for the organic stuff. Take me out anywhere, and I'll probably like the food (as long as it's healthy). I was one of those kids that was eating sushi at age three. My favorite dessert is ice cream. I could give up any dessert forever except ice cream and be satisfied. I also love to workout. You can catch me at the gym almost everyday. I've recently become a huge fan of running (my goal is to be able to run at least eight miles straight by summer. I also want to someday run in a marathon). I played piano from age five til eighth grade. My goal is to get back into playing this summer (I started a little over Christmas and was really happy I could still play). I really enjoy chick flicks and romantic movies (i.e. The Notebook). I'm super driven (sometimes this gets annoying) and put a lot of pressure on myself to be my best. I'm really into volunteer work and mission trips. I love to chill out, relax, and spend time with good friends. Speaking of friends, I have some PRETTY DARN AWESOME friends. I'm really blessed. My favorite thing to do in life is to laugh. I'm currently in the process of discerning my career path, but I'm a psychology major with a minor in English. Right now, I want to be a Physician's Assistant. I hope this bio helped you to get to know me a little better. We're here for you and would love to hear your feedback if you feel comfortable sharing it. Enjoy :)
