Buying a bed with my own hard earned dollars was the ultimate sign of me slowly becoming an adult. Bonus points for the fact that I was looking for something larger than a twin size. I walked into the mattress store knowing my price range, then quickly doubling it when I sat on this foam […]
Nothing prepares you for working your first office job, nothing. Certainly not anything I encountered during my four years in college got me ready to spend the better part of my days working an office job that has nothing to do with my career plans. But hey, I’m a twenty something earning a masters degree, […]
Full of so many hopes and dreams, until the DC housing situation crushed them… Going to college wasn’t something I thought about at all throughout my childhood and teenage years. As a kid I was always pretty smart, and as I grew into a teenager I was able to keep an interest in most school […]
My friend Marilyn just posted the most empowering thing on Instagram. No it wasn’t a butt selfie or a meme about how all men are fuck boys, it was her grad school transcript. All ‘As. All A’s in her graduate courses. Wow. People like to make fun of the women (and men) who choose to […]
The holidays may be the happiest time of year, but for some the beginning of December symbolizes stressing over trying to find everyone on your list the perfect gift. One thing I think we can all agree on is that our pets mean everything to us, which makes them the perfect cheat sheet for when […]
Do you know when you haven’t done something for so long that you forget how to get started? As if your body has forgotten the movements associated with the activity? Like standing up after sitting through a long flight, your bones and muscles don’t fully cooperate with what they’re being told to do. That’s a […]
Like most people, I enjoy a good piece of gossip. I’m not above occasionally talking about a stranger’s choice of clothes or a friend’s rash decision, and while I don’t try to make a habit out of it, I’m not perfect. I’m a firm believer in you get what you put out, so no matter […]
I feel as if I took a very long vacation, except it was anything but. Within the past three months I moved myself and all my favorite belongings across the country to live and work in Washington DC, did what I was supposed to do there and then lugged all my junk back to California […]
It’s absolutely crazy to me that I was a freshmen in college six years ago, because honestly, I remember packing up the truck and driving to my university like it was yesterday. If you’re anything like me, you like to know what’s going to happen in any given situation. Meaning you want to know how […]
Sometimes I like to think I’m a special case, that for some reason I’m alone in feeling how I do much of the time. Then I snap out of it and realize there’s no way that’s possible, because aren’t we all a bunch of millennials trying to figure out or next step and who’s going […]
Last year was my first time choosing a word of the year, even though I have experience spending my year focusing on goals and ideas I hope to accomplish by the end of it. If I had chosen a word in 2012, the year I catapulted my life to get me to where I am […]
Does anyone else enter a three day weekend super excited for all the possibilities that an extra day can bring? Then wham! You realize that extra day or not, you rather sit on the couch and use all that time to scroll on your phone and catch up on your shows. Three day weekends come […]
I’ve said it one and I’ll say it a hundred times more, breaks up are fucking hard. Worse than exams, more painful than doing your taxes, way more terrible than blowing an interview for a job you totally wanted. Doesn’t matter how long you were together and if the two of you were never meant […]
This is such a weird post to write, but I think it’s a topic a lot of twenty something women deal with but don’t talk about. Maybe guys deal with it to, but I sincerely believe making and maintaining female friendships is a lot harder than keeping male ones. I mean, there has to be […]
